AN EFFICIENT ADVANCED HIERARCHICAL ATTRIBUTE BASED SCHEME WITH ASYMMETRIC ENCRYPTION FOR PERSONAL HEALTH RECORDS IN CLOUD COMPUTING

Improving cloud computing technologies give a key factor for intelligent health care services. In recent years, innovations have led improve our needs as a services especially in medical field. Personal Health Records (PHR) system that meets the needs of patient to manage their health records in a centric model that stored at third parties including cloud service providers. PHR information could be taken out by third party servers and unauthorized parties. In this concern patients should make their information by more privacy to encrypt those before updating. Due to this issues and risks evolved under key management, user revocation, data access control, key escrow and data flexibility. To overcome this above issues propose a novel approach in data access control for PHRs that stored in third party servers by using asymmetric cryptographic techniques and Advanced Attribute based Encryption(AABE). This technique that enforces to manage multi data owner scheme. Our system that enables access those data policies dynamically and also overcomes those previous issues it improves security, efficiency and performance of whole system.
Person Authentication using Iris Recognition

2Information Technology, Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, Pune 3Information Technology, Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, Pune 4 Assistant Professor, Dept. of Information Technology, Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, Maharashtra, India --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract Security and the authentication of individuals is essential for many different areas of our lives, with most people having to authenticate their identity on a daily basis; examples include ATMs, secure access to buildings, and international travel. Biometric identification provides a valid alternative to traditional authentication mechanisms such as ID cards and passwords, whilst overcoming many of the shortfalls of these methods; Iris recognition is most accurate than any other biometric trait. The objective of this project is to produce a working prototype program that functions as an iris recognition tool by comparing RED (Ridge Edge Direction) algorithm and HWT (Hybrid Wavelet Transform) for feature extraction in order to implement iris authentication system in MATLAB which will be more accurate and useful way that is user-friendly. Our main focus is to design application based system which accurately authenticate any person. The application based system provide security at the gate of any society or institute where we are going to fix our system which will authenticate any person and display the result if the person is authenticated then gate will open automatically. This we are going to show in graphical user interface (GUI). Our aim is to provide most accurate security system which will be used in day-to-day life.
The Role of Modern Medical Imaging in Evaluation of Tumor Response to Vascular Targeting Therapy

The unique features of tumor vasculature represent an attractive target that can be utilized by vascular targeting therapy (VTT). The pharmaceuticals applied in VTT are classified into angiogenesis inhibiting agents (AIAs) and vascular disrupting agents (VDAs) according to their mechanisms of action. AIAs inhibit the formation of new vessels, while VDAs selectively destroy the existing tumor vessels. Both reduce the blood supply, cause the tumor necrosis, and delay the tumor growth, but they cannot eradiate tumor. This novel VTT challenges the traditional criteria for therapeutic evaluation based on tumor size. Functional and metabolic studies are thus necessary to monitor the early vascular alterations and to estimate the therapeutic efficacy for prompt justification and adjustment in oncological patients under the VTT regimen. In this article, we review the characteristics of tumor vessels, classification of VTT, and lead drugs in clinical development. We also envision, in addition to the conventional anatomy-based criteria, comprehensive imaging protocols for the assessment of tumor response to VTT combining morphological, functional and metabolic imaging biomarkers, applicable for magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, positron emission tomography, and ultrasound.
The Algebraic Path Problem on the Cell/B.E. Processor

Report Date: Written Language: Any Other Identifying Information of this Report: Distribution Statement: Supplementary Notes: The University of Aizu Aizu-Wakamatsu Fukushima 965-8580 Japan 11/30/2010 English First Issue: 10 copies Kazuya Matsumoto, Stanislav G. Sedukhin The Algebraic Path Problem on the Cell/B.E. Processor algebraic path problem, all-pairs shortest paths problem, Cell Broadband Engine, performance evaluation, parallel computing The Algebraic Path Problem (APP) unifies well-known matrix, graph, and language problems, such as matrix inversion, all-pairs shortest paths (APSP), maximum capacity paths (MCP), minimum spanning tree, generation of regular languages, etc., into a single algorithmic scheme. The difference between APP instances is in the underlying algebraic structure. This paper explores the APP and presents an implementation of a block algorithm for solving the APP on the Cell Broadband Engine (Cell/B.E.) heterogeneous multicore processor. The block APP algorithm spends the most computing time in a block matrix-matrix multiply-add (MMA) operation in different algebras. In our APP algorithm, a fast dense MMA operation in linear (+,×)-algebra is utilized. The MMA implementation on the Cell/B.E. needs only a single fused multiply-add (FMA) instruction to obtain a single short-vector (+,×)-result in one cycle. APP instances such as APSP and MCP problems are based on (min, +)and (max, min)-algebras, respectively, which are different from the linear (+,×)-algebra, and require three and four instructions to obtain a single short-vector result in three and four cycles. Because of that, the maximum sustained performance for MMA operation on Cell/B.E. is 152 Gflop/s whereas for APSP and MCP are 50.7 Gflop/s and 38.1 Gflop/s, respectively.

Sexual behaviour trends by gender in a rural South African population-based cohort during the era of scaled-up access to VCT and ART, 2005-2010

Background: In rural KwaZulu-Natal, HIV incidence has been high and changed little even while HIV testing uptake has increased dramatically over the past six years. We examine population-level trends in sexual risk behaviour over the period 2005-2010 in a general-population cohort. Methods: We report trends in sexual behaviour indicators from 2005 to 2010 for men and women aged 17-49, based on annual sexual behaviour surveys collected by the Africa Centre Demographic Information System (ACDIS). Indicators include the proportion ever had sex, the average number of sexual partners in the past year, the point-prevalence of concurrent sexual partnerships, and condom use at last sex with regular and casual partners. Trends are compared between groups defined by HIV status, knowledge of HIV status, and by other population characteristics. Unadjusted trends and trends adjusted for varying survey participation are presented. Missing data in completed surveys is adjusted for using multiple imputation incorporating demographic, socioeconomic, behavioural and health variables from the ACDIS. Responses are weighted by sex/age/education/location strata to adjust for survey non-participation. Results: Reported sexual risk behaviours may have declined in men and women over 2005-2010, but the decline is less pronounced than would have appeared without adjusting for missing data and survey participation. Increases in reported condom usage have been greater than reductions in numbers of sexual partners. For both sexes, reported condom usage with regular partners increases more amongst those who know they are HIV-positive than those who have tested HIV-negative. Conclusions: These population trends in self-reported sexual behaviour suggest that some behaviour change occurred between 2005-2010 in the general population. Changes occurred in both those living with and without HIV, but the data suggest that greater changes occurred in those who reported knowing they were HIV positive. The full presentation will also include results of sub-group analyses.
NON-HODGKIN LYMPHOMAS IN PATIENTS WITH ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME )

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas are the second most common cancer in patients infected by human immunodeficiency virus and are particularly more common in patients with advanced immune depression. They usually present in advanced stages, with extranodal involvement and “B symptoms”. HIV-associated Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas have a worse prognosis than those occurring in HIVnegative patients. The standard treatment has not yet been established due to the lack of randomized clinical trials and because it is difficult to compare results obtained in different periods during acquired immunodeficiency syndrome disease epidemics. The enhanced outcomes seen in more recent published series could be related to the modern infusional chemotherapy regimens or the introduction of effective antiretroviral therapy and opportunistic infections prophylaxis.
Reply to Referee reviews Manuscript title Comparison of different methods to retrieve effective snow grain size in central Antarctica Date of reply 31 July 2017

P.1: The effective size of snow grains affects the reflectivity of snow surfaces and thus the local surface energy budget in particular in polar regions. Therefore, the specific surface area (SSA) was monitored. There is some breach of logic: 'The effective size of snow grains affects. Therefore, the specific surface area (SSA) was monitored. ' Still it is not stated how these quantities are related. Thank you for pointing this out, we changed this part of the abstract to avoid this breach of logic. Changes in manuscript: The size of snow grains affects the reflectivity of snow surfaces and, thus, the local surface energy budget in particular in polar regions. Therefore, the specific surface area (SSA) as an equivalent measure for snow grain size was monitored for a two-month period in central Antarctica (Kohnen research station) during austral summer 2013/14. 5 P.2, Line 5: For example, Munneke et al. (2008) found variations of the broadband albedo of snow at five different locations in Dronning Maud Land in a range between 0.77 and 0.88. I recommend small change: 'For example, Munneke et al. (2008) found variations of the broadband albedo of snow in a range between 0.77 and 0.88 at five different locations in Dronning Maud Land. ' Thank you. We changed it as suggested. P.2, Line 3-7: However, the snow surface albedo varies both on a temporal and spatial scale. For example, Munneke et al. (2008) found variations of the broadband albedo of snow at five different locations in Dronning Maud Land in a range between 0.77 and 0.88. This variability is caused by different parameters such as snow grain size (and shape), surface roughness (e.g., Warren et al., 1998), soot content (e.g., Bond et al., 2013), and cloudiness; it depends on wavelength. and solar position. Because the first sentence is only about the broadband albedo, the second sentence is required to be corrected. This is correct, thank you for pointing it out. We adjusted the manuscript accordingly. Changes in manuscript: Changes of broadband and spectral snow albedo are caused by different parameters such as snow grain size (and shape), surface roughness (e.g., Warren et al., 1998), soot content (e.g., Bond et al., 2013), and cloudiness. It further depends on 10 wavelength (e.g., Hudson et al., 2006; Warren and Brandt, 2008) as well as solar position (e.g., Wiscombe and Warren, 1980;
B acterial endosym bioses in m arine littoral w orm s

: Symbioses with sulfur bacteria are not restricted to the deep sea. Littoral sediments with hydrogen sulfide undemeath an oxic surface layer are often populated by gutless marine Oligochaeta living in obligate symbiosis with "sulfur bacteria". Repre-sentatives of about 100 interstitial whitish species occur preferably around the oxic/ sulfidic chemocline in calcareous sediments of warmer regions. A thick layer of endosymbiotic bacteria is extracellularly located between extensions of the epidermal cells undemeath the cuticle. As chemoautotrophs, the prokaryotic symbionts gain metabolic energy by oxidizing reduced sulfur compounds, but can also störe inert sulfur. They are regularly enclosed and lysed by the worm’s epidermal cytoplasm. Transcuticular uptake of dissolved organic compounds at considerable rates has been shown. Transmittance of the bacteria to the next generation of annelid hosts is probably vertical by "infection" of the freshly deposited eggs. A recent approach by molecular genetic methods attempts to characterize the symbiotic prokaryotes and relate their genetic distance to the taxonomic and zoogeographical pattem of their hosts. The structure of the symbiosis in gutless oligochaetes is compared to that in various other bacteria-symbiotic "worms", most of them with a modified digestive system. They fall into five structural categories, from an endocuticular to an endointestinal position. Two putative path ways of symbiotic establishment, via the outer surface and the gut lumen, are outlined.
Large eddy simulation of turbulent spray with a filtered density function

Liquid atomization is a fundamental process found in inhalation aerosols, fuel injectors, and agricultural sprays, yet our methods for predicting the process are underdeveloped. Current state-of-the-art computational methods either prescribe primary atomization or are prohibitively expensive. We present a novel filtered density function (FDF) method for the large eddy simulation (LES) of primary atomization. A single fluid formulation is considered, such that the Eulerian governing equations are solved throughout the domain for both phases, while a set of phase-identifying Lagrangian/stochastic particles define the local volume of fluid. A Lagrangian volume of fluid provides conservation and, when coupled to a FDF, sub-grid-scale phase resolution. We consider both smoothed particle hydrodynamics and the finite particle method for construction of the particle-based interface geometry, as well as the pairwise force and curvature-based methods for determination of the surface tension term. These different particle approaches are compared with respect to geometric convergence and dynamic performance. This serves as a significant step in the development of a LES methodology for simulating turbulent sprays. ∗Corresponding Author: Merideth@ferdinand.edu

Complete Response of Synchronous Liver Metastasis in a Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: Could Surgery Represent a Therapeutic Option?

Metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma pancreatic (PDAC) is characterized by poor prognosis and short survival. Today, the use of new polytherapeutic regimens increases clinical outcome of these patients opening new clinical scenario. A crucial issue related to the actual improvement achieved with these new regimens is represented by the occasional possibility to observe a radiological complete response of metastatic lesions in patients with synchronous primary tumor. What could be the best therapeutic management of these patients? Could surgery represent an indication? Herein we reported a case of a patient with a PDAC of the head with multiple liver metastasis, who underwent first line chemotherapy with mFOLFIRINOX. After 10 cycles, he achieved a complete radiological response of liver metastases and a partial response of pancreatic lesion. A, duodenocephalopancreasectomy was performed. Due to liver a lung metastases after 8 months from surgery, a second line therapy was started with a disease free survival and overall survival of 8 months and 45 months, respectively. Improvement in the molecular characterization of PDAC could help in the selection of patients suitable for multimodal treatments.
THE INFLUENCE OF TRACE ELEMENTS IN LIPOSOMAL COMPOUNDS ON OXIDATIVE STRESS MARKERS IN THE REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS OF FEMALE RABBITS

The aim of presented work was to investigate the in flue ce of injections of organic microelements in liposomal emulsion on the pe rformance antioxidant status in uterus and ovaries of rabbits during the early s tage of pregnancy. There were no significant differences in аctivity of SOD in uterus between the groups. Howeve r, a significant higher SOD activity in the ovaries af ter injection of emulsion during insemination (p < 0.05) compared to control was noted . Also the level of TBARS and carbonyl contents in uterus of rabbits after inject ion of emulsion during insemination were significantly lower compare to the control gro up (p < 0.05). In conclusion, a subcutaneous injection of organic microelements in lip osomal form in both treatment groups have a significant effect on antioxidant def ence in uterus and ovaries of rabbits during the early stage of pregnancy. However, the injection of liposomal preparation during insemination had a beneficial effect on the intensive metabolism and maintaining antioxidant – prooxidant balance in the reproductive organs under the stimulation of hunting, fertilization and embryo im plantation.
Consumption – between Aesthetics and Ethics . A Discussion

The article discusses some problems connected to ethical consumption. We aimed to show that in spite of the fact that many researches consider ethical consumption as a taken-for-granted phenomenon which can be rooted in specific values and behaviours, there is not clearly revealed the exact content of this concept. In order to clarify such questions, we tried to answer how consumption became an ethical question, what kind of problems consumption implies, and which are those major ethical frameworks within which consumption can be translated. We concluded that the ethics of consumption cannot be placed anymore within the references of modernity. Following Bauman’s aesthetics of consumption, we think that ethical consumption is a kind of aesthetics based on a diffuse set of values and becomes interpretable only in the framework of postmodern ethics.

THE ROLE OF INTERFIRM KNOWLEDGE SPILLOVERS FOR INNOVATION IN ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES: EVIDENCE FROM THE SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC INDUSTRY

Knowledge spillovers play a potentially important role for innovation and competitive dynamics in mass-produced environmental technologies. Currently, however, we lack research that studies knowledge spillovers in such technologies at the firm level. To address this shortcoming, in this paper we investigate the drivers of technological innovation in the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry. We find clear evidence for the existence of inter-firm knowledge spillovers and show that besides investments in R&D, investments in manufacturing equipment have served as a channel of knowledge absorption. Our findings shed new light on the narrative linking environmental innovation and competitive advantage. Moreover, by pointing to the role of process technology as a means of assimilating and exploiting external knowledge, we highlight an important but frequently neglected channel of absorptive capacity.
European Conference on Information Systems ( ECIS ) 2004 Standardization in Action

This paper discusses the dynamics of implementing and deploying a standardization process based on an IT infrastructure. The analysis is based on a case study conducted in a pharmaceutical R&D organisation. The standardization infrastructure in use, constituted by a computerized system and the surrounding organisational procedures, seems to be different from the one expected as a result of the ex-ante design of the infrastructure. The paper discusses the role played by local characteristics, contingences, and practices in the definition of the nature and effects of the standardisation protocol implemented to improve the control over data collection and analysis. The paper concludes that the output of the process of standardisation and thus the following control over it should be discussed as the result of a dynamic interplay determined by the interaction between technology and its users rather than the consequence of a planned an well defined design project.
erformance and clinical validation of the RealStar ® MERS-CoV Kit for etection of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus RNA ictor

Background: A highly pathogenic human coronavirus causing respiratory disease emerged in the Middle East region in 2012. In-house molecular diagnostic methods for this virus termed Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) allowed sensitive MERS-CoV RNA detection in patient samples. Fast diagnosis is important to manage human cases and trace possible contacts. Objectives: The aim of this study was to improve the availability of existing nucleic acid amplificationbased diagnostic methods for MERS-CoV infections by providing a real-time RT-PCR kit, including an internal control and two target regions recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). And to validate this kit (RealStar® MERS-CoV RT-PCR kit 1.0, Altona Diagnostics GmbH, Hamburg, Germany) using clinical samples of one MERS-CoV case from Munich and respiratory samples of patients with other respiratory diseases. Study design: An internal amplification control was included into the RT-PCR assays targeting the genomic region upstream of the Envelope gene (upE) and within open reading frame (ORF) 1A. Based on these assays, a ready-to-use real-time RT-PCR kit featuring both the upE and ORF1A assays was developed, validated and compared to the established in-house versions. Results: The performance of both RT-PCR assays included in the kit is comparable to the in-house assays. They show high analytical sensitivity (upE: 5.3 copies/reaction; ORF1A: 9.3 copies/reaction), no crossreactivity with other respiratory pathogens and detected MERS-CoV RNA in patient samples in almost the same manner as the in-house versions. Conclusion: The kit is a valuable tool for assisting in the rapid diagnosis, patient management and epidemiology of suspected MERS-CoV cases. © 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
