Overcoming Trial Version Software Cracking Using a Hybridized Self-Modifying Technique

Information exchange has become an essential component in modern society. Vendors provide content to consumers, while consumers exchange information using e-mail, peer-to-peer systems, social networks, or other network applications. We rely on embedded software in our cars, the domotics, built into our homes, and other electronic devices on a daily basis. Obviously, all these applications rely on the correct functioning of software and hardware components. Often, software which is the driving force of computer hardware are usually subjected to cracking, a condition whereby hackers bypassing the registration and payments options on a software product to remove copyright protection safeguards or to turn a demo version of software into a fully functioning version by manipulating information such as the serial number, hardware key, dates, etc., without actually paying for the software. In this paper, we proposed a hybridized self-modifying technique for checking against cracking. Our technique combines obfuscation and hashing mechanisms to resist attackers from cracking software. The key idea is to hide the code using hashing by transforming it such that it becomes more difficult to understand the original source code and using obfuscation to resist software reverse engineering. The result shows that our technique is able to block hackers and thus prevent code cracking.

Understanding British MP attitudes to European integration

This paper examines the results of a survey of British MPs, administered in the autumn, 2002. It seeks to illuminate MPs views on several questions of European integration, as well as domestic politics. In addition to providing a glimpse of the state of thinking among parliamentarians about Europe, it also sheds light on the causes of their views. The findings confirm that Labour MPs are far more ‘pro-Europe’ than Tories, and that MPs in general are highly polarised on the Euro, though this polarisation is not entirely explained by party affiliation. Factor analysis reveals a dominant underlying dimension, with all five Europe variables loading highly on it, as well as MP views about the importance of British sovereignty and identity. In addition, a highly significant negative linear relationship exists between MPs’ views on most matters of European integration and their position on two ideological dimensions: economic interventionism vs. liberalism and personal liberties vs. moral authority. Most explanatory power comes from the right end of both spectra. This finding confirms research by Hooghe et al on political parties in EU member states: parties to the left of centre on the interventionism spectrum favour integration as a means of checking full market liberalism. Parties to the right of centre on the liberties dimension oppose integration because of the association between moral authoritarianism and nationalism.
Protection of Location Privacy for Spatio-Temporal Query Processing Using R-Trees

The prevailing infrastructure of ubiquitous computing paradigm on the one hand making significant development for integrating technology in the daily life but on the other hand raising concerns for privacy and confidentiality. This research presents a new privacy-preserving spatio-temporal query processing technique, in which location based services (LBS) can be serviced without revealing specific locations of private users. Existing location cloaking techniques are based on a grid-based structures such as a Quad-tree and a multi-layered grid. Grid-based approaches can suffer a deterioration of the quality in query results since they are based on pre-defined size of grids which cannot be adapted for variations of data distributions. Instead of using a grid, we propose a location-cloaking algorithm which uses the R-tree, a widely adopted spatio-temporal index structure. The proposed algorithm uses the MBRs of leaf nodes as the cloaked locations of users, since each leaf node guarantees having not less than a certain number of objects. Experimental results show the superiority of the proposed method.
ANTECEDENTS OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IN A RETAIL STORE ENVIRONMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON TIME SPENT AND IMPULSE BUYING

Changing customer needs and demands has made the retail environment highly competitive. The growing number of organized retail outlets has even made the competition tougher than ever. The various options available for the customers to shop have made them less loyal to any particular retailer. At this point of time it becomes mandatory for the retailer to focus more on the Customer Satisfaction to increase the sales revenue and also to make them loyal. In this paper the researcher talks about the antecedents of Customer Satisfaction and its impact on Time Spent by the customer in the retail outlet and Impulse Buying. Thus the author intends to say that components of crowding viz. Human Crowding and Spatial Crowding may each have an impact on Customer Emotions like Pleasure, Arousal and Dominance. These emotions Pleasure, Arousal and Dominance may have a positive or a negative impact on the Customer Satisfaction. The Customer Satisfaction may in turn have a positive or negative impact on the Time Spent on the retail outlet and Impulse Buying.
A new genus and species for the amiiform fishes previously assigned to Amiopsis from the Early Cretaceous of Las Hoyas, Cuenca, Spain

The Mesozoic actinopterygian fish Amiopsis has been reported from three different localities in the Iberian Peninsula. Amiopsis woodwardi was described from the Berriasian–Valanginian of El Montsec (Lérida, Spain). Isolated vertebral centra referred to Amiopsis were found in the Barremian of Buenache de la Sierra (Cuenca, Spain). Finally, amiiform material from the Barremian of Las Hoyas (Cuenca, Spain) were reported as Amiopsis cf. A. woodwardi, due to the overall similarity with the species from El Montsec. Here a detailed anatomical description of the material from Las Hoyas is provided for the first time. The unique combination of characters seen in this taxon, some of which are not shared with Amiopsis but with more derived amiids, indicates that it represents a new taxon, which is here named Hispanamia newbreyi gen. nov., sp. nov.
Production And Some Properties Of Curd, A Yoghurt-Like Product, Manufactured By Potato Juice And Milk

In this study, a type of curd, a yoghurt-like product (YLP), was prepared by potato juice and milk and some of its physico-chemical, microbiological and sensory properties were examined. Analyses were applied to four yoghurt groups consisting of YLPs manufactured by using milk and potato juice at different ratios (0.5% for YLP1; 1% for YLP2 and 1.5% for YLP3) and yoghurt produced using starter culture (control group). Lactobacillus spp. and Lactococcus spp. numbers in all yoghurt samples manufactured by potato juice showed increase after the seventh day. The YLP manufactured by potato juice at a ratio of 0.5% was most preferred by panelists among the other YLP samples and most similar to yoghurt with starter culture.
Pointing and action: performance efects on remembering geometrical figures

Depending on the task at hand, pointing has been shown to sometimes help, sometimes hinder, or to simply have no effect on learning and memory. In this study we directly compared the effects of pointing and action in two visuospatial memory tasks. Twentyseven participants were asked to remember geometrical figures in three different conditions: 1) Visual Observation – e.g., looking at the figures, 2) Action – e.g., placing dots on the vertices of the figures, and 3) Pointing – e.g., pointing towards the vertices of the figures. Our results show that there is no significant difference in performance between pointing and action in recall and recognition of the geometrical figures nor did pointing for longer or shorter amounts of time affect performance. These results give direct evidence that pointing is not significantly different than action in this kind of visuospatial memory task. Our experiment did not directly involve language or problem solving but it did use stimuli that are not only coordinates but are also concrete forms. In this sense this study attempts to explore the boundaries between current research that has looked at pointing in the context of language and pointing independent of language. Although we predicted better performance for pointing in comparison to both visual observation and action we propose that the additional information that pointing may provide was not powerful enough to surpass and outperform the information acquired through visual observation and thus hindered performance.
Interaction of Experiential and Neurological Factors in the Patterning of Human Abilities: The Question of Sex Differences in 'Right Hemisphere' Skills.

Sex differences in cerebral organization and functioning, and the apparent superiority of males in spatial ability are examined in this paper. Attention is given to several kinds of cognitive and perceptual tasks in which sex differences in spatial ability have been shown to exist; among these are tasks involving: (1) recall and detection of shapes, (2) geometry and mathematics, (3) directional sense, (4) Piagetian skills and (5) the game of chess. A neurological model for sex differences in spatial ability is discussed, vhich suggests that some brains are further specialized (lateralized) for spatial analysis than others, and that these "further specialized" brains are more frequently male than female. Medical research with war veterans who have suffered brain injuries, data from anatomical and clinical studies and results of testing of normal individuals are cited to suggest that the left hemisphere of the brain seems primarily organized for verbal function, the right hemisphere for visual-spatial functions. An alternative model for sex differences in spatial ability suggests that women prefer to code information phonologically (due to their earlier language development) and that men prefer to code informatics visually. Data are presented which support this view. The possibilities of evolutionary selection for male spatial superiority and the effects of sex steroid hormones on brain specialization and nervous system activity are considered.

New cultivation approaches of Artemisia annua L. for a sustainable production of the antimalarial drug artemisinin

Artemisia annua L. is an important medicinal plant from which artemisinin was extracted to treat malaria effectively. Artemisinin is isolated from the aerial part of the A. annua harvesting from the wild is causing loss of genetic diversity and habitat destruction. The use of controlled environments can overcome cultivation difficulties and could be a means to manipulate phenotypic variation in bioactive compounds and toxins. The aim of this review is to bring together most of the available scientific research papers about the cultivation and breeding conducted on the genus A. annua, which is currently scattered across various publications. Through this review the authors hope to attract the attention of all agronomist and breeders throughout the world to focus on the unexplored potential of A. annua species. Also, the future scope of this plant has been emphasized with a view of the importance of cultivation of A. annua for increasing of artemisinin content. New cultivation approach of A. annua offers the opportunity to optimize yield and achieve a uniform, high quality product. Key words: Artemisia annua, breeding, artemisinin, cultivation, medicinal plant.
Interactions of shading conditions and irrigation regimes on photosynthetic traits and seed yield of soybean (Glycine max L.)

Field experiments were conducted in 2013 and 2014 with eight treatments consisting of combination of four shading periods (shading during vegetative phase (V), reproductive phase (R), whole growing season and a control treatment) and two irrigation regimes (irrigation after depleting 40 and 80 % of available water). Under limited irrigation conditions, the highest PSII quantum yield, the capacity of electrons move beyond QA and electron move from intersystem to PSI acceptor side reduced, with greater decline degree in sunlight treatment. The minimum seed yield was recorded by plants treated with limited irrigation and whole growing season shade. Changes in the state of the photosynthetic electron transport chain and photorespiration rates in response to different shading treatments were primarily related to leaf water loss. In general, the results revealed that shading caused some shade avoidance responses in soybean, which finally reduced seed production.
The heterodox notion of structural crisis

Long waves of economic activity, also known as â€˜Kondratiev cycles,â€™ have been known to exist for nearly a century without having ever been given a proper theoretical context. In this paper we try to identify various contributions to shed light on this phenomenon, notably Schumpeter's notion of technological bursts and Minsky's notion of a super-cycle where â€˜stability breeds instabilityâ€™ to the point of systemic crisis. A more comprehensive and methodologically innovative approach to the periodization of capitalism is the French RA©gulation School. This heterodox approach has reframed the story of long waves in terms of period-specific â€˜accumulation regimesâ€™ and â€˜modes of (self-)regulation. â€™ Here systemic crises, like the ones we experienced in 1873â€“1879, 1929â€“1939, 1973â€“1982 or 2007â€“2011, play the role of regime-transforming adjustments in the institutional make-up of the wage relation, forms of competition, state intervention, and money and banking, as well as international context. We apply the Regulationist approach to finance-led capitalism, the latest long-wave accumulation regime emerging around 1982 to find itself confronted with its own systemic crisis starting in 2007. How will that crisis, one of the most profound structural crises to date, change our economic system?
The (Co-)Construction of Knowledge within Initial Teacher Training: Experiences from Croatia

“Learning by doing” within and together with a “community that learns” ought to become the fundamental method of learning – not only for children, but also for their teachers and other participants in the educational process. To what extent are students of early and preschool education involved in such work methods, and what have their experiences been like? An example of a research-based, reflective approach to practice grounded in action research and the co-construction of knowledge with students shall be presented as an example of quality practice at the Faculty of Teacher Education in Rijeka. Such a form of practice creates knowledge through the action itself and through contemplation of one’s actions and the actions of others, all with the purpose of strengthening the practical competencies of future teachers. Our conclusion is that mutual learning, as propounded by the social constructivist approach to education, within the context of the mutual discussions between students and teachers that we organized directly contributed to the development of (self-)reflectioncompetencies among future teachers, while also immersing all participants in an environment conducive to deliberation and the (re)definition of oneself and one’s own pedagogical work.
Influence of cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo colony on biometrical parameters of three-nerved sandwort Moehringia trinervia (Caryophyllaceae) leaves and seeds.

Żolkoś K. , Meissner W. : Influence of cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo colony on biometrical parameters of three-nerved sandwort Moehringia trinervia (Caryophyllaceae) leaves and seeds. Ekologia (Bratislava), Vol. 29, No. 1, p. 55–64, 2010. Investigation on the influence of fertilization on enlargement of leaf dimensions and seed production of Moehringia trinervia was carried out in July 2006 on Vistula spit, within the largest European breeding colony of cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo, where multiple enhancement of NPK in the soil due to deposition of guano was noted. The control sample was taken from place located ca. 500 m away from the colony, where cormorants never nested. Leaves from the area within the colony were significantly larger and more rounded than leaves of plants growing outside the colony. Enlargement of leaf blade area allows plant to develop assimilation apparatus, which in turn affects on improvement of ability to absorb and transform greater amounts of nitrogen into organic compounds. It had probably an influence on extension of seed number, because plants within the colony area produced significantly more seeds than plants outside the colony. However seeds from the colony were twice lighter seed from the control sample, which may facilitate their dispersal and occupancy on larger area. Probably in this way Moehringia trinervia adapts to the unlimited availability of nutrients coming from bird excrements.
Rotational spectroscopy of the two conformers of 3-methylbutyronitrile (C4H9CN) between 2 and 400 GHz

We present high-resolution rotational spectroscopy of the two conformers of 3-methylbutyronitrile (C4H9CN). Spectra were taken between 2 and 24 GHz by means of Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. Spectra between 36 and 403 GHz were recorded by means of frequency modulated (FM) absorption spectroscopy. The analysis yields precise rotational constants and higher order distortion constants, as well as a set of 14N nuclear electric quadrupole coupling parameters for each of the two conformers. In addition, quantum chemical calculations were performed in order to assist the assignments. Frequency calculations yield insight into the vibrational energy structure of the two conformers, from which partition functions and vibrational correction factors are determined. These factors are used to determine experimentally and computationally the energy difference between the two conformers, which is revealed to be negligible. Overall, this study provides precise spectroscopic constants for the search of 3-methylbutyronitrile in the interstellar medium. In particular, this molecule is a perfect test case for our knowledge of branched molecule formation in space.
Male Partners Involvement in Maternal ANC Care: The View of Women Attending ANC in Hararipublic Health Institutions, Eastern Ethiopia

Maleinvolvement in reproductive health has recently been promoted as a promising new strategy for improving maternal and child health. This is becausetheinvolvement of men in antenatal care can play a vital role in ensuring safe pregnancy, delivery and moral support to the women.However, little attention has been placed on male parnersinvolvement in maternity care in developing countries, including Ethiopia. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess male partners’ involvement in maternal ANC care and identify its associated factors among pregnant women attending their ANC in Harari Regional State of Ethiopia. Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted among 385 randomly selected ANC attendees in Harari public health institutions from February to May 2011.Data were collected using interview based questions; which was then entered into Epidata and analyzed using SPSS. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was calculated to assess factors associated with male accompany at p<0.05. The result showed that only 19.7% of the women were found to be accompanied by their spouse during their recent visit to ANC. Being a housewife (AOR=2.6, 95% CI; (1.2, 5.8)), rural residents (AOR=2.7, 95% CI; (1.2, 6.0)) and women unsupportive of male involvement in maternal care (AOR= 3.5, 95% CI; (1.2, 10)) were more likely associated with unaccompanying male partners. The major reasons reported by women for not being accompanied by their male partnerswere: a pretext that males being preoccupied with work, lack of awareness on the possible complication during pregnancy, misconception that the ANC is the concern of women’s only, males’ feeling shame to accompany them on visit and lack of responsibility. In general, the involvement of male partners in maternal ANC service was found to be low in the study area. Empowering women to have open discussion with their partners about maternal health issues and creating awareness in utilizing ANC could improve male involvement in ANC in the region.
