Automated Safety Analysis of Administrative Temporal Role-Based Access Control (ATRBAC) Policies using Mohawk+T

Safety analysis is recognized as a fundamental problem in access control. It has been studied for various access control schemes in the literature. Recent work has proposed an administrative model for Temporal Role-Based Access Control (TRBAC) policies called Administrative TRBAC (ATRBAC). We address ATRBAC-safety. We first identify that the problem is PSPACE-complete. This is a much tighter identification of the computational complexity of the problem than prior work, which shows only that the problem is decidable. With this result as the basis, we propose an approach that leverages an existing open-source software tool called Mohawk to address ATRBAC-safety. Our approach is to efficiently reduce ATRBAC-safety to ARBAC-safety, and then use Mohawk. We have conducted a thorough empirical assessment. In the course of our assessment, we came up with a “reduction toolkit,” which allows us to reduce Mohawk+T input instances to instances that existing tools support. Our results suggest that there are some input classes for which Mohawk+T outperforms existing tools, and others for which existing tools outperform Mohawk+T. The source code for Mohawk+T is available for public download [11].
Dez regras práticas para a terapia com corticoides nas doenças inflamatórias em adultos

Corticosteroides (ou corticoides) são fármacos muito utilizados na prática clínica. Uma de suas principais aplicações é no tratamento de doenças de natureza inflamatória ou autoimune, em que são capazes de aliviar a dor, preservar a função de órgãos vitais e até salvar a vida de pacientes graves. No entanto, seu uso também está associado ao risco de efeitos adversos também graves. Por esses motivos, ter destreza em sua prescrição e manejo dos efeitos adversos é uma competência essencial ao clínico. Para facilitar essa tarefa, este artigo resume conceitos de farmacologia, fisiologia e clínica em relação ao uso de corticoides para o tratamento de doenças inflamatórias e autoimunes em pacientes adultos, na forma de dez regras práticas.
TOWARDS SECURE NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS WITH CLIENTS HAVING CRYPTOGRAPHICALLY ATTESTABLE INTEGRITY

In a client-server communication, the server side must trust the client before releases confidential data or accepts commands received from the client. While industry best practices and considerable amount of research focus on secure credential authentication, we stress that this is at most a deceptive effort, providing only a false sense of security. We underline the sharp contradiction between state-of-the-art industry wide practices and the security that researchers campaign for, with special focus on online banking solutions. We present a brief review of a wide range of cyberattack techniques used today to perform large scale identity theft, financial fraud or espionage. We believe that current approaches, including inside-OS security solutions or relying only on credential authentication are outdated, and an industry wide shift is needed to provide trustable, integrity attested clients. Our solution is created around a type 1 bare-metal hypervisor, relying on hardware-enforced technologies to provide strong isolation between a secure operating environment on the clients and a possibly compromised OS. Blending an easily deployable solution with remote cryptographic identity attestation support, we believe that our proposal carries a significant value, both from security point of view and market applicability. In order to support a proper evaluation of the strength and weaknesses of the solution, we also present a comprehensive review of various remaining attack techniques and strategies.
Survival of PIT-tagged lesser short-tailed bats (Mystacina tuberculata) through a pest control operation using the toxin pindone in bait stations.

Introduced mammalian predators are a major threat to New Zealand’s wildlife, including bats. Controlling these predators using traps and poison baits can reduce their impact on bat populations. However, lesser short-tailed bats (Mystacina tuberculata) are potentially susceptible to toxins used for pest control in New Zealand forests because of their broad diet and habit of feeding on the ground. Therefore, the risk of secondary poisoning should always be assessed before new toxins are used in areas inhabited by lesser shorttailed bats. We measured survivorship of a sample of lesser short-tailed bats monitored before, during and after deployment of the first-generation anticoagulant toxin pindone in the Eglinton Valley, Fiordland, during late winter and summer 2009−2010. Pindone-laced cereal baits were deployed in bait stations from September to late December 2009 in an effort to control rats (Rattus spp.). Communal roosts of the one lesser short-tailed bat colony in the valley are located entirely within or immediately adjacent to the area poisoned. Minimum number alive was determined for the sampled bat population after monitoring the occupancy of colonial roosts by individually PIT-tagged bats through the study period. Survivorship of bats was high throughout the monitoring period, with 319 of 322 bats (99%) recorded in the pre-monitoring period (August) known to be alive in October 2009 and 312 of 322 bats (97%) known to still be alive in January 2010. We conclude that lesser short-tailed bats did not consume pindone baits and that their survival was probably enhanced by rat control in the study area.
A New Species of Poeciliid Fish of the Genus Poecilia from Hispaniola, with Reinstatement and Redescription of P. dominicensis (Evermann and Clark)

Exploration of the streams and lakes of Hispaniola and available collections of poeciliid fishes from that island are discussed, followed by the taxonomic history and generic status of . the two species described. The genera Limia and Mollienesia were synonymized with Poecilia by Rosen and Bailey (1963) and the former Mollienesia dominicensis of Evermann and Clark (1906) became a junior homonym of Limia dominicensis of Valenciennes (1846). Rosen and Bailey, therefore, renamed M. dominicensis of Evermann and Clark as Poecilia montana. Because Mollienesia is het·ein retained as a synonym of Poe cilia but Limia is reinstated as a valid genus, Poe cilia dominicensis of Evermann and Clark is no longer a junior homonym of Limia dominicensis of Valenciennes. The name montana, therefore, becomes a junior objective synonym of Eyermann and Clark's dominicensis. The new species herein described, although available to previous authors, had been hitherto conf'used with Poe cilia dominicensis of Evermann and Clark. Both species are superficially similar but clearly distinct and more closely related to each other than either is to any of the other species of Poecilia. They are restricted to the island of Hispaniola and show character displacement in the several localities where they occur
Computational Approaches to Biological Network Inference and Modeling in Systems Biology

Living systems, which are composed of biological components such as molecules, cells, organisms or entire species, are dynamic and complex. Their behaviors are difficult to study with respect to the properties of individual elements. To study their behaviors, we use quantitative techniques in the “omic” fields such as genomics, bioinformatics and proteomics to measure the behavior of groups of interacting components, and we use mathematical and computational modeling to describe and predict their dynamical behavior. The first step in the understanding of a biological system is to investigate how its individual elements interact with each other. This step consist of drawing a static wiring diagram that connects the individual parts. Experimental techniques that are used are designed to observe interactions among the biological components in the laboratory while computational approaches are designed to predict interactions among the individual elements based on their properties. In the first part of this thesis, we present techniques for network inference that are particularly targeted at protein-protein interaction networks. These techniques include comparative genomics, structurebased, biological context methods and integrated frameworks. We evaluate and compare the prediction methods that have been most often used for domain-domain interactions and we discuss the limitations of the methods and data resources. We introduce the concept of the Enhanced Phylogenetic
Transformation Groups for Soliton Equations —Euclidean Lie Algebras and Reduction of the KP Hierarchy—

This is the last chapter of our series of papers [1], [3], [10], [11] on transformation groups for soliton equations. In [1] a link between the KdV (Korteweg de Vries) equation and the affine Lie algebra A[^ was found: the vertex operator that affords an explicit realization of the basic representation of A{ [2] acts infinitesimally on the i functions of the KdV hierarchy. It was shown also that this link between the KdV equation and A[ comes from a similar link between the KP (Kadomtsev-Petviashvili) equation and gl(oo); the restriction to the subalgebra A{^ in gl(oo) reduces the KP hierarchy to the KdV hierarchy.
Predicting implicit search behaviors usinglog analysis

Search engines provide ranked information based on the query given by the user. Understanding user search behavior is an important task for satisfaction of the users with the needed information. Understanding user search behaviors and recommending more information or more sites to the user is an emerging task. The work is based on the queries given by the user, the amount of time the user spending on the particular page, the number of clicks done by the user particular URL. These details will be available in the dataset of web search log. The web search log is nothing but the log which contains the user searching activities and other details like machine ID, browser ID, timestamp, query given by the user, URL accessed etc., four things considered as the important: 1) Extraction of tasks from the sequence of queries given by the user 2) suggesting some similar query to the user 3) ranking URLs based on the implicit user behaviors 4) increasing web page utilities based on the implicit behaviors. For increasing the web page utility and ranking the URLs predicting implicit user behavior is a needed task. For each of these four things designing and implementation of some algorithms and techniques are needed to increase the efficiency and effectiveness.
The Ulster Unionist Party

This book undertakes the first detailed membership study of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP). The UUP was the dominant political party in Northern Ireland during the twentieth century, but since the 1998 Belfast Agreement, the UUP has struggled to retain the loyalty and affection of many within the majority Protestant-Unionist-British community. The Belfast Agreement was internationally lauded, the UUP leader David Trimble feted with a Nobel Peace Prize.The Agreement largely produced by the UUP established power-sharing between unionists and nationalists. Yet many unionists abandoned the UUP. Many defectors, angered by UUP concessions of paramilitary prisoner releases, policing changes, and ‘terrorists’ in government, wanted a more robust defender of unionist interests. Having switched to the one-time ferociously religious and militant DUP, they have not returned to the UUP. This book analyses these developments and the current state of the Party, particularly through the prism of its (still sizeable) membership. It draws upon the first-ever quantitative study of those members, examining who they are; how and why they joined; why they have stayed loyal to their party; how they view those who defected and where the UUP is heading. The volume also uses a wide range of interviews with members at all levels of the Party and with its five most recent leaders, to analyse views on the UUP’s electoral and political difficulties and how they might be reversed. The book draws upon historical, political, and sociological perspectives in analysing the identities of UUP members and their perceptions of a wide range of contemporary issues, covering political institutions, other parties, social change, moral issues, religion, and voting.

Summary Background Disturbed circardian rhythm of blood pressure is a risk factor for cardiovascular complications. The impact of circardian blood pressure rhythm in patients with early phase of primary chronic glomerulonephritis was not studied before. Material and methods In 23 untreated patients with early stage of primary chronic glomerulonephritis (GN) with creatinine clearance > 75 ml/min/1,73m2 the ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed. Arterial hypertension was diagnosed when mean blood pressure (BP) during the day was > 131/84 mm Hg and the disturbed circadian BP rhythm (non-dipping) was diagnosed when the relative decrease of systolic and diastolic BP during the night was less than 10% when compared to BP during the day. Results Hypertension was found in 3/10 patients (70%) with nephrotic syndrome (NS) and in 5/13 patients with smaller proteinuria. The disturbed circadian rhythm of BP (non-dipping) was found in 16 patients out of 23 persons investigated with similar incidence in patients with hypertension and normotensive patients. No significant differences were found when some parameters characterizing blood pressure and its diurnal rhythm were compared in patients with nephrotic syndrome and these with nonnephrotic proteinuria. The comparision of similar parameters between „dippers” and „non-dippers” also does not demonstrate significant differences. Conclusions These results indicate that in the majority of patients with early stage of GN the daily BP rhythm is disturbed, which may be attributed to the increased sympathetic nervous system activity.
Evaluation of statistical properties of dune profiles

A set experiments for dunes developing from a flattened sand bed was obtained in a narrow 0.44-m-wide and 12-m-long glass-sided open channel. The sand in use was a coarse uniform sand of D50=0.85-mm and was exposed to a series of steady and uniform flow conditions. The chosen flow depths generated practically 2D dunes in flow direction over the length of the channel. Spatial sand-bed-elevation profiles were recorded on the centreline of the flume over a distance of 6-m, roughly every 23-sec over the time of development. The recorded dune geometries were evaluated with both the discrete and the continuous approach. For the discrete approach, discrete height and length values are obtained for dunes. For the continuous approach, the second-order distribution moments, standard deviations, were used to obtain characteristic height and length values of the dune field. It is shown that a lack of clear definitions for the discrete approach results in a wide range of averaged dune geometries, depending on how thresholds were set during the analysis process. The continuous approach provides more objective results, but interpreting the results of the analysis requires careful consideration. For this paper, the analytical results of applying both approaches are compared. A preliminary correlation between both approaches is discussed. The physical relationship between the flow field and characteristic height and length values, as obtained through the continuous approach, is not yet clear.
A voting system applied to online student discussion forums

Discussion forums enable students to both seek answers from teaching staff and discuss topics among themselves. However, there is often little incentive for students to post, especially to write poignant questions, answers and general discussion. This paper presents a study of the interactivity of students in online discussion forums when a voting system is added, enabling students to up-vote or down-vote any post. In addition, bonus marks were available for the highest voted posts during each week. Results show that overall student interactivity increased more than three-fold, and student satisfaction of the learning resources increased. 
Modelling New Zealand milk: From the farm to the factory

Dairy products have long been an important dietary component, particularly for young children. Because of this the dairy industry is especially sensitive to contamination scares, and dairy is of particular importance to the New Zealand economy. This paper develops a Markov chain model for the early stages of the dairy supply-chain. Using the case of a major New Zealand Dairy company, simulations are run under various product-testing scenarios. Results point to the importance of where and when testing and interventions take place. Being strict about removing potentially contaminated product early on in the supply chain can reduce total losses and improve overall production output.
Linguistic processes in deductive reasoning.

The present paper develops a theory to specify in part how a person stores and searches through information retained from sentences. The theory states that (a) functional relations, like the abstract subject-predicate relation which underlies sentences, are more available from memory than other, less basic kinds of information; (6) certain "positive" adjectives, like long, are stored in memory in a less complex and more accessible form than their opposites, like short; and (c) listeners can only retrieve, from memory, information which is congruent at a deep level to the information they are searching for. The present theory, unlike previous ones, correctly predicts the principal differences in the solution times of 8 types of two-term series problems and 32 types of three-term series problems (e.g., // John isn't as bad as Pete, and Dick isn't as good as Pete, then who is worst? ). It also accounts for previous observations on children solving these problems and explains other phenomena in deductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning has often been studied in particular types of reasoning problems. The strategies suggested for their solution have therefore often been of limited generality : they apply in one kind of problem and that kind alone. The present paper proposes, instead, that reasoning is accomplished mainly through certain very general linguistic processes, the same mental operations
1 Governance and Illicit Flows

The concern about illicit capital flows from developing countries reflects a variety of relevant policy issues, but is often motivated by weakly formulated underlying analytical frameworks. We review the literature on illicit capital flows and suggest that the common underlying concern that motivates the different approaches is the identification of flows that potentially damage economic development. Implicitly, if these flows could be blocked, the result would be an improvement in social outcomes. Illicit flows can be illegal, but they need not be if the legal framework does not reflect social interests or does not cover the relevant flows. A minimal definition of an illicit capital flow has to consider both the direct and the indirect effects of the flow and has to assess these effects in the context of the specific political settlement of the country in question. To demonstrate the implications in simplified form, we distinguish among advanced countries, intermediate developers, and fragile developing countries. The types of flows that would be considered illicit are shown to be significantly different in each of these cases. The analysis provides a rigorous way of identifying policy-relevant illicit flows in developing countries. Given the potential importance of these flows, it is vital to have a rigorous framework that at least ensures that we minimize the chances of causing inadvertent damage through well-intentioned policies. Indeed, the analysis shows that many loose definitions of illicit capital flows are problematic in this sense.
LOWPASS FILTER DESIGN OF HILBERT CURVE RING DEFECTED GROUND STRUCTURE

LOWPASSFILTERDESIGNOFHILBERTCURVERINGDEFECTEDGROUNDSTRUCTUREJ.Chen,Z. -B.Weng,Y. -C.Jiao,andF. -S.ZhangNational Key Laboratory of Antennas and Microwave TechnologyXidian UniversityXi’an 710071,ChinaAbstract—In this paper,a novel Hilbert curve ring (HCR) fractaldefected ground structure (DGS) and its equivalent circuit areinvestigated. Furthermore,an improved HCR DGS cell model withopen stubs loaded on the conductor line is then presented to improvethe out-band suppression. By employing three cascaded improvedHCR DGS cells,an L-band microstrip low-pass is designed andfabricated. This lowpass ﬁlter achieves a quite steep rejection property;a low in-band insertion loss of below 0.5dB and a high out-bandsuppression of more than 33dB.1. INTRODUCTIONRecently,there has been an increasing interest in the applicationsof defected ground structure (DGS) in microwave and millimeter-wave applications [1–3]. The DGS of the microstrip line employsan intentional defect on the ground and it provides band rejectioncharacteristic from the resonance property. The applications of theDGS are developed in divider,ﬁlter,and ampliﬁer circuits. Thedefect of the conventional DGS is with the dumbbell shape or therectangle shape,these conventional DGSs,however,have a ﬂat slopeof their rejection characteristic. To fabricate a lowpass ﬁlter with steeprejection property,many these DGSs are needed to be cascaded,whichalso means higher in-band insertion and larger size. Diﬀerent from Euclidean geometries,fractal geometries have twocommon properties,space-ﬁlling and self-similarity. It has been shownthat the self-similarity property of fractal shapes can be successfullyapplied to the design of multi-band fractal antennas,such as theSierpinski gasket antenna [4],while the space-ﬁlling property of fractalscan be utilized to reduce antenna size [5,6].
Comparison of Self- Efficacy in Athlete and Non- Athlete Male Students of Iran and India

This study compared self-efficacy in 200 athlete and non- a thlete male students (50 athlete and 50 non- athlete male s tudents ,each from Iran and India). The students completed the Self- Efficacy Scale (SES). Data from both the countries wer e analyzed separately using analysis of variance to find w hether or not variance exists in self –efficacy between non-athelete and athelete students. Self- efficacy scores were also compared between both the countries . Results revealed s ignificant difference in self-efficacy scores of non –athelete and athelete males of both the countries. A thelete male students had higher self efficacy than non -athelete students.Self- efficacy scores of neither athelete or non- athel ete male students of Iran differed significantly from their Indian counterpart. The results of the present study indicated a link between sport activities and self-efficacy. Interventions like participation in a dequate physical activities or sport activities may promo te self-efficacy
