Proactive Privacy Protection with Darknets - The Development of Umbra

New measures imposed by governments, Internet service providers and other third parties which threaten the state of privacy are also opening new avenues to protecting it. The unwarranted scrutiny of legitimate services such as file hosters and the BitTorrent protocol, once relatively unknown to the casual Internet user, is becoming more obvious. The darknet is a rising contender against these new measures and will preserve the default right to privacy of
THE ELDERLY IN THE AGING SOCIETY: CERGING ROLES /ND RESPONSIBILITIES

This report makes specific references to Jewish concerns while examining the respective responsibilities of the state, community, family, and the . ndividual in caring for the elder' It makes the critical point that reliance on the nuclear famil . n modern societies for elderly support becomes more tenuous to the extent that there are fewer adult children to provide support to their elderly relatives. The ratios of caregiving-aged adults (ages 4559) for every 100 older adults (ages 75+) in Jewish populations in different areas of the world are compared, and it is noted that differences in these ra' . os are reflected in major differences in the degree to which financial, social, health, and psychological needs are adequately met through networks of family, frj.onds, and neighbors. Special attention is paid to the population of y_ry old adults (those aged 85 and older) and their offspring in their 60's. The marital status of older adults and the prospect of caregiving support from a spouse are also considered. Intergenerational families are described and relationships between grandparents, their children, and their grandchildren are examined. The effectiveness of the creation of separate policies, programs, and services for the elderly is explored in a section on age integration and segregation; the view of the aged as a burden or asset is discussed; and loneliness and leisure time roles are also investigated. Care of the elderly and leadership roles are addressed.

Status of the Lower Sacramento Valley Flood-Control System within the Context of Its Natural Geomorphic Setting

The Sacramento River’s flood-control system was conceived as a series of weirs and bypasses that routes floods out of the leveed main channel into natural floodways engineered to drain directly into the bay delta. The system, superimposed on a natural geomorphic setting consisting of geologic, sedimentary, and tectonic controls, still relies on weirs and bypasses to keep low-lying communities dry during floods. However, the Sacramento Valley bypass system exhibits widespread evidence of impairment by sedimentation, especially at prehistoric loci of alluvial splays. Episodic flooding in the basin delivers large volumes of sediment that accumulate throughout the flood bypasses, especially from legacy tailings fans that originated in the hydraulic mining era. In addition to decreasing flow capacity, these deposits promote colonization of vegetation, which, in turn, increases roughness and decreases flood conveyance. We document three bypass regions that are affected by natural geomorphic controls, where cons.
Modelling the Process of is Auditing in the Public Administration Using UML Diagrams

Although information system audit is a very important business process, at present this is not obligatory in the public administration institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republic of Srpska. Due to the importance of this process, this paper proposes a model for auditing of information systems in the public administration institutions. The model intends to explain the audit process using a visual representation of the process with UML diagrams. UML is an internationally recognised language for business process modelling and has a number of advantages over other similar languages and standards. Therefore, UML is selected in modelling for modelling of information system auditing process in the public administration institutions.
Chapter 10 Fat Grafting in Body Contouring

Fat transfer had been used since the first decades of the twentieth century for body contouring and reconstruction. Since then, a lot of controversies and ongoing research regarding indications, harvesting and transplantation technique had been a concern for plastic surgeons. More recently, the use of fat as a source of stem cells had been the major point of research joining both the aesthetic and the regenerative advantages. Body reshaping using fat graft is nowadays a common non-invasive resource in the surgeon’s armamentarium popularized as body sculpturing merging the benefits of liposuction and lipofilling to improve the aesthetic of virtually all the regions of human body. In this chapter, the role of fat grafting in aesthetic body contouring will be discussed. The association of stem cells is exposed to give the reader the possibility to better understand this option of treatment. Fat harvesting/grafting techniques are explained and the authors’ preferred choice is exposed. Lipofilling details are discussed per area of the body with practical tips and pitfalls for the experienced or the newbie surgeon. A final summary on complications will remind all the possible incidences that may occur in the shortand long term after surgery.
Genealogy and phylogeography of Cyprinid fish Labeo rohita (Hamilton, 1822) inferred from ATPase 6 and 8 mitochondrial DNA gene analysis

ATPase 6/8 gene (842 bp) of mitochondrial DNA was sequenced in Labeo rohita samples (n = 253) collected from nine rivers belonging to four river basins; Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra and Mahanadi. Analysis revealed 44 haplotypes with high haplotype diversity (Hd) 0.694 and low nucleotide diversity (π) 0.001. The within population variation was larger (83.44%) than among population differences (16.56%). The mean FST value (0.166; P < 0.05) for overall populations revealed moderate level of genetic structuring in the wild L. rohita populations. The haplotype network presented a single clade for wild L. rohita population, from different rivers. Negative values for Fu's index (FS), mismatch distribution analysis indicated period of expansion in L. ro- hita population. The time after recent expansion was estimated for each population, between 0.042 to 0.167 mya. The pattern of Isolation by Distance (IBD) was not significant (r = -0.113, P < 0.287), when all the sampling locations were compared (Mantel test), however, when an outlier (Indus, Brahmaputra and Mahanadi) was removed from the whole population set, a clear positive correlation between pairwise FST and geographic distance (Km) was seen. The analysis of data demonstrated that ATPase6/8 gene polymorphism is a potential marker to understand genetic population structure of wild L. rohita existing in different rivers. The study identified population substructure in wild L. rohita with common ancestral origin (Current Zoology 60 (4): 460-471, 2014).
Benchmarking the performance of application startup for AspectJ-aware Java virtual machines

In [12] and [13], Golbeck implemented AspectJ Virtual Machine (AJVM), an in-VM, lazy aspect weaver to improve the startup performance of applications containing aspects. In this work, it was important to clearly show an improvement in performance over earlier aspect weavers at startup. However, the lack of large applications using aspects and the complexity of startup benchmarking make such performance evaluation di cult. This thesis examines these challenges and presents our approach to application startup benchmarking. Using this approach, it clearly identi es previously unknown performance di erences between aspect-aware Virtual Machine (VM) implementations.
DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF HIGH-VOLTAGE HIGH-EFFICIENCY ULTRA-WIDEBAND PULSE SYNTHE

A novel ultra-wideband (UWB) pulse synthesizer is proposed, which uses a distributed amplifier to combine Gaussian pulses of different polarities, amplitudes and delays. The center frequency and bandwidth of the synthesized pulse can be adjusted by varying the number of the Gaussian pulses and the delays between them. Compared to other UWB pulse generators, the present synthesizer is capable of higher voltages and higher efficiencies. Using 0.25-μm pHEMTs, a prototype synthesizer has been designed and fabricated with a center frequency of 4.0 GHz and a bandwidth of 1.9GHz. Under a Gaussian input pulse of 1.5 V and 100 ps, the synthesizer outputs into 50 Ω a pulse of 4.5V and 1 ns. At a pulserepetition frequency of 10MHz, the synthesizer consumes 1 mA at 3 V with 17% efficiency. Approaches to maintain high efficiency by scaling the supply voltage for different input amplitudes and pulse-repetition frequencies have also been verified experimentally.

The list of asteroids perturbing the Mars orbit to be seen during future space missions

Context. Over the last decade, the positional observations of Mars have reached such an accuracy that the uncertainty of the asteroid masses has become the main cause of uncertainty in its ephemeris. Currently, only about 36 masses are estimated by direct measurements with a formal accuracy better than 10%. However, the true errors are probably larger due to unaccounted systematic effects. Thus, asteroid masses are still a limitation in the accurate modeling of the perturbations on Mars. Nevertheless, two future space missions, Gaia and Dawn, could improve the situation by combining their results. Aims. The main objective of this paper is to identify and provide a list of major perturbers of Mars which could bring significant disturbances over the next 50 years, having in perspective the expected contribution of Gaia to asteroid mass determination. It will also point out the asteroids whose mass only could be improved from ground-based observations – by direct measurements or size and shape derivation. Methods. The selection procedure of Mars’ perturbers includes analytical and numerical treatments. The analytical analysis is based on harmonic decomposition of the perturbations on the longitude and semi-major axis of Mars as a function of the mean longitude of the planet and the perturbing asteroid to the first order in asteroid mass. Regarding the numerical treatments, the first consists in selecting the potential perturbers, filtering them out with the cumulative deviations of Mars’ path over the next 50 years. The second one uses the accumulation of the perturbations on the semi-major axis, eccentricity, and inclination of Mars due to each asteroid over the same period of time. Thus, a list of perturbers of Mars is derived from the number of selections by each method. Results. 62 asteroids have been selected as the most perturbing – or potentially so – for the orbit of Mars, among which 32 were already listed by Williams in 1984, and all are in the list of 300 perturbing asteroids derived by the same author in about 1995. More interestingly, 53 belong to the list of asteroids for which Gaia could give their mass with a relative precision better than 50% and 27 less than 10%, a further indication of the importance of Gaia to contribute to improving Mars’ ephemeris. Nevertheless, 7 of them will have a mass poorly estimated – with a relative error greater than 30% – and 9 without estimates at all. Therefore, ground-based observations may be useful to overcome these limitations.
Effect of Malic Acid on Visceral Characteristics and Coliform Counts in Small Intestine in the Broiler and Layer Chickens

Antimicrobial feed additives such as organic acids have made a tremendous contribution to the profitability in the intensive husbandry and providing people with healthy and nutritious poultry products. For examine of this effects of organic acids two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of the malic acid on chicken visceral characteristics and E. coli population in the small intestine. First study was performed with male egg type chickens (2 to 21 d of age) which received four levels of malic acid via drinking water. Malic acid was added to the water and offered to chicken freely from first to end of experiment with constant concentration in both experiments. The treatments were zero (as a control), 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15 percent of malic acid which dissolved in water and given to them in waterer pan. The chicks were slaughter on 21 days old and above parameters were measured on visceral organs. In second experiment broiler chicken (male and female from 1 to 56 d of age) was evaluated for same parameters on same treatments as a mentioned for the first experiment. No significant difference (P> 0.05) was observed between treatments for weight gain and liver percentage in both experiments. Difference between treatments in relation to gastrointestinal tract (GIT) percentage has been shown in Exp. 1 (p<0.05). The results of these trials showed that malic acid have the potential for reduction of E. coli population in chicken intestine in both experiments.
The Use of Various SNPs in CAST and CAPN 1 Genes to Determine the Meat Tenderness in Turkish Grey Cattle [ 1 ]

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between some genotypic characteristics of purebred Turkish Grey Cattle (TGC) and beef tenderness characteristics. There is a linear relationship between meat tenderness and the increasing calcium activity after slaughtering. Calpastatin (CAST) is a neutral protease inhibitor of Calpain (CAPN1) in mammalian tissues. The three polymorphic places in the CAST and the CAPN1 genes in cattle (UoG-CAST, CAPN1 316 and 4751) are known as the markers of beef quality. The relationship between the tenderness traits of the longissimus dorsi (LD) and the 3 beef quality markers (3 SNPs) in pure TGC have been investigated and discussed. PCR-RFLP and ARMS-PCR methods were utilized to identify the genotypes. In order to determine the water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss (CL) and the shear force (SF), samples extracted from LD were probed. The average and standard error SF of a two-year-old TCG bred in extensive conditions was 4.339±0.217 kg/cm2 for the heifers and 4.689±0.569 kg/cm2 for bulls. Both alleles of the UoG-CAST (C/G), the CAPN1 316 (C/G) and the CAPN1 4751(C/T) polymorphisms in the samples were observed. The average SF of 3.943±0.441 kg/cm2, 4.537±1.666 kg/cm2, and 3.869±0.721 kg/cm2 were used for the CAST-CC, the CAPN1 4751-CC and the CAPN1 316-GC, respectively in order to cut the muscle fibers of the genotypes that have a positive effect on tenderness. No cattle of the CAPN1 316-CC genotype was identified among the samples. The average and standart error WHC, CL and SF values for the entire sample including heifers and bulls were found as 11.693±0.761%, 26.952±0.636%, and 4.483±0.252 kg/cm2, respectively. In conclusion, the presence of genetic variation in specific SNP markers of beef tenderness in purebred TGC can contribute to the process of raising TGC with more tender meat.
Market Abuse Directive and Insider Trading: Evidence from Italian Tender Offers

This study analyzes the effectiveness of the Market Abuse Directive (MAD) in reducing possible profits from insider trading during voluntary tender offers with the purpose of delisting initiated by controlling shareholders. Exploiting the quasi-experimental setting provided by the introduction of the MAD, our event-study analysis on the Italian market suggests that the new regulation did not produce appreciable effects on the magnitude of abnormal returns and volumes noted before the announcement of a tender offer. Multivariate econometric analyses based on regression and matching methods confirm this result. However, poolability tests reveal that the MAD has changed the manner in which corporate characteristics influence the capacity of insiders to make profit. We interpret our results considering the choice problem of the optimal amount of insider trading, when comparing the marginal costs and benefits of the illegal activity.
A Survey on virtual world

Virtual reality is simulated reality. Computers introduced us to the virtual world. In the virtual world one can assume any identity and no one will be the wiser. Such identities are called 'avatars'. This is part of its attraction. But it also has its dangers. Many youngsters today live more in the virtual world than in the real world. This has made sociopaths out of some of them. They are so used to interacting with people in the virtual world that they no longer know how to interact with real people. Virtual worlds like Second Life are becoming important tools for, among other activities, socialization, social networking, entertainment, collaboration, and business development. These environments offer information systems researchers a unique opportunity to study how these environments are built and managed by operators, how they are used and misused by users, and the impact that they have on users, communities, organizations, and societies at large. The paper provides an introduction to this topic and offers a survey on virtual worlds based on insights offered by several academics and practitioners who are actively involved in building, managing, and using virtual worlds.
Effect of pH and temperature on browning intensity of coconut sugar and its antioxidant activity

Coconut sugar is produced by heating coconut neera. The brown color of sugar is derived from non-enzymatic browning Maillard reaction. It is strongly influenced by pH and temperature. In this study, the effect of pH and temperature on browning intensity and antioxidant activity of coconut sugar were examined. The pH of coconut neera was adjusted at 6 and 8 and the temperature of its heating was 100oC, 105 oC, 110oC, and 115oC, respectively. The browning intensity of sugar was determined by spectrophotometrically at 420 nm. Total phenolic content of sugar was estimated by FolinCiocalteu method and antioxidant activity was expressed as DPPH scavenging activity. The results showed that browning intensity and antioxidant activity of sugars was increased with increasing pH of coconut neera and temperature. It was found that the effect of pH at 8 and temperature at 115oC show highest total phenolics (0.48%) and browning intensity (0.35) of sugar. The treatment also exhibited good antioxidant activity (DPPH scavenging activity) as high as 40%. This result also indicates that there is a significant correlation between browning intensity and antioxidant activity of coconut sugar.
Extreme climatic events reduce ocean productivity and larval supply in a tropical reef ecosystem

Increasing ocean temperatures due to global warming are predicted to have negative effects on coral reef fishes. El Niño events are associated with elevated water temperatures at large spatial (1000s of km) and temporal (annual) scales, providing environmental conditions that enable temperature effects on reef fishes to be tested directly. We compared remote sensing data of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies, surface current flow and chlorophyll‐a (Chl‐a) concentration with monthly patterns in larval supply of coral reef fishes in nearshore waters around Rangiroa Atoll (French Polynesia) from January 1996 to March 2000. This time included an intense El Niño (April 1997–May 1998) event between two periods of La Niña (January–March 1996 and August 1998–March 2000) conditions. There was a strong relationship between the timing of the El Niño event, current flow, ocean productivity (as measured by Chl‐a) and larval supply. In the warm conditions of the event, there was an increase in the SST anomaly index up to 3.5 °C above mean values and a decrease in the strength of the westward surface current toward the reef. These conditions coincided with low concentrations of Chl‐a (mean: 0.06 mg m−3, SE ± 0.004) and a 51% decline in larval supply from mean values. Conversely, during strong La Niña conditions when SST anomalies were almost 2 °C below mean values and there was a strong westward surface current, Chl‐a concentration was 150% greater than mean values and larval supply was 249% greater. A lag in larval supply suggested that productivity maybe affecting both the production of larvae by adults and larval survival. Our results suggest that warming temperatures in the world's oceans will have negative effects on the reproduction of reef fishes and survival of their larvae within the plankton, ultimately impacting on the replenishment of benthic populations.
Cryptanalysis of the SIGABA cipher

CRYPTANALYSIS OF THE SIGABA CIPHER By Heather Ellie Kwong SIGABA is a rotor-based cipher machine that is famous for its service during World War II by the United States. Compared to other ciphers used in World War II, such as the German Enigma or the Japanese Purple, SIGABA's security was undefeatable, as it was the only cipher to withstand all cryptanalytic attacks in the course of its usage. This thesis covers the history of SIGABA's development, how SIGABA works, and a cryptanalytic attack on SIGABA. The attack covered in this thesis has never been implemented before and is divided into a primary phase and secondary phase. The attack recovers SIGABA's keyspace by targeting SIGABA's rotor banks separately, while demonstrating SIGABA's strength in design that separates it from other ciphers.
EXTERNAL CREDIT AND MACROECONOMIC AGGREGATES IN EMERGING MARKETS: SOME STYLIZED FACTS

This study focuses on background information of the aggregate economy and fluctuating situations in emerging countries with respect to external credit shocks. In particular, the study describes the changing nature of some selected emerging market business cycle from 1970-2015. Hence, the study demonstrated the cyclical properties of a large annual number of macroeconomic time series for a group of 6 (six) emerging countries, using a statistical technique with a modified version of the Hodrick-Prescott (1997; HP) filter as developed by McDermott (1997). It discussed the cross-correlation patterns between output and macroeconomic time series of the sampled countries and attempted to identify relatively robust regularities that can guide theoretical research in macroeconomics. The evidence of the study holds relevance not only for Nigeria, but for other economies that have undergone economic transition and reforms. An important finding is that emerging economies are characterized by higher output (real GDP) volatility, which made them more suscecible to external shocks. While Nigeria is more prone to output volatility than any of the sampled economies, external sources of credit shocks have impacted more on real economic activities of Nigeria than the domestic sources.
