Mobile Agents in Intrusion Detection System: Review and Analysis

Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to detect intrusion and then alert the system administrator about the intrusion. This is what traditional IDS is all about. It is then up to the system administrator to deal with the intrusion. Human intervention is still needed when it comes to dealing with intrusion. This is because traditional IDS could only detect the intrusion but could not, on its own respond towards the intrusion. IDS is only able to alert the system administrator when it detects an intrusion. How and when the intrusion is dealt with is up to the system administrator. Human intervention when dealing with intrusion is not a problem if the person assigned to that task is always reliable. Therefore, this paper analyzes the evolution of IDS and how mobile agents such as SNORT could increase the integrity of traditional systems without human intervention.
Herpes simplex virus immunoglobulin G Fc receptor activity depends on a complex of two viral glycoproteins, gE and gI

Evidence was recently presented that herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) immunoglobulin G (IgG) Fc receptors are composed of a complex containing a previously described glycoprotein, gE, and a novel virus-induced polypeptide, provisionally named g70 (D. C. Johnson and V. Feenstra, J. Virol. 61:2208-2216, 1987). Using a monoclonal antibody designated 3104, which recognizes g70, in conjunction with antipeptide sera and virus mutants unable to express g70 or gE, we have mapped the gene encoding g70 to the US7 open reading frame of HSV-1 adjacent to the gE gene. Therefore, g70 appears to be identical to a recently described polypeptide which was named gI (R. Longnecker, S. Chatterjee, R. J. Whitley, and B. Roizman, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84:147-151, 1987). Under mildly denaturing conditions, monoclonal antibody 3104 precipitated both gI and gE from extracts of HSV-1-infected cells. In addition, rabbit IgG precipitated the gE-gI complex from extracts of cells transfected with a fragment of HSV-1 DNA containing the gI, gE, and US9 genes. Cells infected with mutant viruses which were unable to express gE or gI did not bind radiolabeled IgG; however, cells coinfected with two viruses, one unable to express gE and the other unable to express gI, bound levels of IgG approaching those observed with wild-type viruses. These results further support the hypothesis that gE and gI form a complex which binds IgG by the Fc domain and that neither polypeptide alone can bind IgG.
Design of a Novel Envelope Detector for Fast-Settling Circuits

A novel envelope detector structure that overcomes the traditional tradeoff required in these circuits, improving both the tracking and keeping of the signal, which is specially advantageous for fast-settling circuits, is proposed in this paper. The method relies on holding the signal by two capacitors in parallel, discharging one when the other is in the hold mode and employing the held signals to form the output. Results show a savings greater than 60% of the capacitor area for the same ripple ( < 1%) and a release time constant that is 13 times smaller than that obtained by conventional circuits.
Studies on Erythro‐Kinetics in Infancy

Summary Endogenous formation of carbon monoxide was determined in nine infants with Rh-haemolytic disease. The calculated daily haemolysis averaged 430 mg haemoglobin per kg body weight, contrasting to the normal average of 185 mg/kg. No correlation could be found between the CO-formation and the haemoglobin concentration of the newborn. This confirms the clinical observation that the haemoglobin concentration is not always a reliable index of the rate of haemolysis. The findings also suggest that studies of the intrauterine haemolysis do not always give true indication of the degree of foetal anaemia.
Serum hepatitis B virus DNA in healthy HBsAg‐negative Chinese adults evaluated by polymerase chain reaction

Serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA was assayed using polymerase chain reaction, in 107 HBsAg‐negative normal Chinese subjects. The results showed that eight subjects (7.5%) had HBV DNA. In the subgroup with antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti‐HBs) and to hepatitis B core antigen (anti‐HBc), 7.3% (5/68) were positive for HBV DNA; HBV DNA was not detected in six individuals with anti‐HBs only and in nine with anti‐HBc only. In four persons with anti‐HBc and anti‐HBe, one had HBV DNA. In 20 subjects negative for all hepatitis B serological markers, two (10%) were found to have HBV DNA. This study indicates that serological markers are not adequate to rule out HBV infection, and it further implies that present blood donor screening methods may need improving.
Posttranslational Truncation of E-Cadherin and Significance for Tumour Progression

Stable intraepithelial adhesion complexes are essential for the maintenance of epithelial integrity. Alterations in these complexes are key events in the development and progression of many diseases. One of the major proteins involved in maintaining epithelial cell-cell adhesion is the cell-adhesion junction protein E-cadherin, a member of the cadherin family of transmembrane adhesion proteins. E-cadherin is involved in many cellular processes including morphogenesis, adhesion, recognition, communication and oncogenesis. Inactivation of its adhesive properties is often a key step in tumour progression and metastasis, leading to its recent description as a tumour suppressor gene. Mutations of the E-cadherin gene CDH1 in gastric and mammary cancers have been well documented and reports of transcriptional repression during tumour progression are increasing. This review examines the role of posttranslational truncation of E-cadherin in cancer cells focusing on implications for tumour progression. The various proteins involved in the directed cleavage of E-cadherin and consequences of these truncations are discussed.
RF output power sensing for low power transmitters in mobile base stations based on antenna switch isolation losses

This paper develops an alternative way of sensing and monitoring the radio frequency output power for a mobile base station transmitter. The solution presented is based on the limited isolation that provides the pin diodes of the commercial antenna switches that are currently being used in mobile communications terminals. The solution has been tested on a commercial GSM triple-band fixed cellular terminal.
Penile angiography: the last angiographic frontier.

A unique combination of scientific disinterest, misinformation, therapeutic nihilism, and social taboos has long relegated male impotence to the realm of folk medicine. Within the past few years, however, these primitive influences have begun to yield, and impotence has become increasingly recognized as a legitimate field of medical investigation. A major impetus for the scientific investigation of penile erection was provided by the recent discovery of the erectogenicity of intracavernosal smooth-muscle relaxants [1 , 2]. That one discovery led to dramatic changes in concepts of the physiology of erection; proof of the existence and mechanism of venoocclusion; methods for diagnosing and quantitating venoocclusive insufficiency; recognition of the high frequency of venogenic impotence; improved methods of arterial imaging; and a practical pharmacotherapeutic method. The fundamental circulatory nature of penile erection implies a major role for angiography in the investigation of erectile function and dysfunction. Indications exist for both diagnostic and therapeutic angiographic procedures in both the arterial and venous beds. Conventional angiographic methods have proved insufficient, however, and new equipment and techniques were needed for adequate evaluation. Fortunately, an array of sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic angiographic techniques, developed through experionce with other organ systems, was now available for use in the study of impotence. With angiography as their forte, radiologists can extend their interests beyond clinical investigations to include all aspects of erectile morphology and physiology. Radiologists should embrace the opportunity to become involved in this exciting and rapidly progressing field, for indeed it may represent the last angiographic frontier. Altered Physiologic Concepts
Regulation of elongation factor 2 kinase by p90RSK1 and p70 S6 kinase

Elongation factor 2 kinase (eEF2k) phosphorylates and inactivates eEF2. Insulin induces dephosphorylation of eEF2 and inactivation of eEF2 kinase, and these effects are blocked by rapamycin, which inhibits the mammalian target of rapamycin, mTOR. However, the signalling mechanisms underlying these effects are unknown. Regulation of eEF2 phosphorylation and eEF2k activity is lost in cells in which phosphoinositide‐dependent kinase 1 (PDK1) has been genetically knocked out. This is not due to loss of mTOR function since phosphorylation of another target of mTOR, initiation factor 4E‐binding protein 1, is not defective. PDK1 is required for activation of members of the AGC kinase family; we show that two such kinases, p70 S6 kinase (regulated via mTOR) and p90RSK1 (activated by Erk), phosphorylate eEF2k at a conserved serine and inhibit its activity. In response to insulin‐like growth factor 1, which activates p70 S6 kinase but not Erk, regulation of eEF2 is blocked by rapamycin. In contrast, regulation of eEF2 by stimuli that activate Erk is insensitive to rapamycin, but blocked by inhibitors of MEK/Erk signalling, consistent with the involvement of p90RSK1.
Evaluation of Histamine Release Following Intravenous Injection of Ionic and Nonionic Contrast Media

Pinet A, Corot C, Biot N, Eloy R. Evaluation of histamine release following intravenous injection of ionic and nonionic contrast media. Invest Radiol 1988;23(Suppl 1):S174‐S177. To evaluate histamine release (HR) following injection of radiocontrast media and to test the predictive value of peak‐expiratoryflow rate (PEFR) in detecting high‐risk patients, the authors performed in two series 90 intravenous pyelograms (IVPs). In the first group, HR was measured by a fluorometric method after injection of Hexabrix (25 patients) and Iopamiron (25 patients). In the second group, HR measured by a radioimmunoassay, and PEFR measured by a peak flowmeter were investigated after injection of Hexabrix (10 patients), Telebrix (10 patients), Omnipaque (10 patients) and Iopamiron (10 patients). Histamine release in groups 1 and 2, and PEFR in group 2, were not significantly modified by the injection of each radiocontrast media. For the four patients (two per group) who experienced minor allergic side effects, the levels of HR and PEFR were always within the normal ranges.
A survey on extractive text summarization

Text Summarization is the process of obtaining salient information from an authentic text document. In this technique, the extracted information is achieved as a summarized report and conferred as a concise summary to the user. It is very crucial for humans to understand and to describe the content of the text. Text Summarization techniques are classified into abstractive and extractive summarization. The extractive summarization technique focuses on choosing how paragraphs, important sentences, etc produces the original documents in precise form. The implication of sentences is determined based on linguistic and statistical features. In this work, a comprehensive review of extractive text summarization process methods has been ascertained. In this paper, the various techniques, populous benchmarking datasets and challenges of extractive summarization have been reviewed. This paper interprets extractive text summarization methods with a less redundant summary, highly adhesive, coherent and depth information.
Association of +405C>G and +936C>T polymorphisms of the vascular endothelial growth factor gene with sporadic breast cancer in North Indians.

BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), an endothelial cell specific mitogen, has been implicated as a critical factor influencing tumor related angiogenesis. The aim of present study was to evaluate the relationship between VEGF +936C>T and +405C>G polymorphisms of VEGF with risk of breast cancer in Punjab, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS We screened DNA samples of 192 sporadic breast cancer patients and 192 unrelated healthy, gender and age matched control individuals for VEGF +936C>T and +405C>G polymorphisms using the PCR-RFLP method. RESULTS For the VEGF +405C>G polymorphism, we observed significantly increased frequency of GG genotype in cases as compared to controls and strong association of +405GG genotype was observed with three fold risk for breast cancer (OR=3.07; 95%CI 1.41-6.65; p=0.003). For the +936C>T polymorphism, significant associations of CT and combined CT+TT genotypes were observed with elevated risk of breast cancer (p=0.021; 0.023). The combined genotype combinations of GG-CC and GG- CT of +405C>G and +936C>T polymorphisms were found to be significantly associated with increased risk of breast cancer (p=0.04; 0.0064). CONCLUSIONS The findings of the present study indicated significant associations of VEGF +936C>T and +405C>G polymorphisms with increased breast cancer risk in patients from Punjab, North India.

Ro small cytoplasmic ribonucleoproteins are a subclass of La ribonucleoproteins: further characterization of the Ro and La small ribonucleoproteins from uninfected mammalian cells

Small ribonucleic acid (RNA)-protein complexes precipitated by anti-Ro and anti-La antibodies from lupus patients have been examined with emphasis on their RNA components. In both ribonucleoprotein (RNP) classes, the numbers of different RNA molecules and their sequences vary between mouse and human cells. The complex mixtures of La RNAs include two previously sequenced 4.5S RNAs from mouse cells and 5S ribosomal RNA-like molecules from both mouse and human cells. All Ro and La RNAs possess 5-triphosphates. Some La RNAs have internal modifications typical of transfer RNAs. The Ro RNPs are quite stable and are localized by immunofluorescence in the cell cytoplasm, whereas the majority of the La RNPs turn over rapidly and reside in the nucleus. Despite these differences, reconstitution experiments show that the Ro particles carry the La as well as the Ro determinant. Studies using a nuclear transcription system demonstrate that most of the La RNAs are synthesized by RNA polymerase III. The possibility that the La protein(s) functions in the transcription or maturation of all RNA polymerase III transcripts is discussed.
Cardiorespiratory effects of laparoscopy with and without gas insufflation.

BACKGROUND Patients who are undergoing laparoscopic procedures can present with a number of ventilatory and circulatory problems. The use of a gasless technique for performing a laparoscopy by using a mechanical lifting device may potentially avoid such problems. OBJECTIVE To compare the cardiorespiratory effects of laparoscopy with and without gas insufflation. METHODS Twelve adult pigs were randomized to undergo a laparoscopy by using either carbon dioxide insufflation or mechanical elevation. Full invasive monitoring was performed preoperatively and at 10-minute intervals throughout the operative period. Parameters that were measured included blood gas determinations, mean arterial pressure, pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, central venous pressure, cardiac output, stroke volume, and total peripheral resistance. RESULTS Carbon dioxide insufflation unlike mechanical elevation led to a fall in PO2 and absorption of a significant quantity of CO2, resulting in hypercapnia, acidosis, and a consequent hyperdynamic circulation. CONCLUSION These findings have significant implications for the use of CO2 insufflation for laparoscopy in patients with a compromised respiratory or cardiac status.
A stochastic approach for attack resilient UAV motion planning

In this paper we propose a stochastic strategy for motion planning of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) subject to malicious cyber attacks. By injecting erroneous information and compromising sensor data, an attacker can hijack a system driving it to unsafe states. In this work we bear on the problem of choosing optimal actions while one or more sensors are not reliable. We assume that the system is fully observable and one or more measurements (however unknown) return incorrect estimates of a state. We build an algorithm that leverages the theory of Markov decision processes (MDPs) to determine the optimal policy to plan the motion of a UAV and avoid unsafe regions of a state space. We name Redundant Observable MDPs (ROMDPs) this class of markovian processes that deal with redundant attacked measurements. A quadrotor case study is introduced and simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the proposed strategy.
Nuclear ground state properties in a relativistic point coupling model.

We present initial results in the calculation of nuclear ground state properties in a relativistic Hartree approximation. Our model consists of Skyrme-type interactions in four-, six-, and eight-fermion point couplings in a manifestly nonrenormalizable Lagrangian, which also contains derivative terms to simulate the finite ranges of the mesonic interactions. A self-consistent procedure has been developed to solve the model equations for several nuclei simultaneously by use of a generalized nonlinear least-squares adjustment algorithm. With this procedure we determine the nine coupling constants of our model so as to reproduce measured ground state binding energies, rms charge radii, and spin-orbit splittings of selected closed major shell and closed subshell nuclei in nondeformed regions. The coupling constants obtained in this way predict these same observables for a much larger set of closed shell spherical nuclei to good accuracy and also predict these quantities for similar nuclei far outside the valley of beta stability. Finally, they yield properties of saturated nuclear matter in agreement with recent relativistic mean meson field approaches.
The impact of perioperative blood transfusion on survival outcomes in radical cystectomy patients

The impact of perioperative blood transfusion (BT) on survival outcomes has been reported in several urological and non-urological surgeries (1,2). Considering bladder cancer (BCa) patients, radical cystectomy (RC) with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection represents the standard of care in muscle invasive and recurrent high risk non-muscle invasive disease (3). However, this procedure is related to a high risk of perioperative complications accounting for 50–60% of patients (4). In perspective, almost 30–65% of them need a perioperative BT as a direct consequence of tumor characteristics and complexity of the surgery (5). Preliminary data suggests that perioperative BT might have an impact on survival outcomes in RC patients (5).
Evidence for two sets of structural genes coding for ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase in Thiobacillus ferrooxidans

Previously, we reported the cloning of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase genes (rbcL1-rbcS1) of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans Fe1 (T. Kusano, K. Sugawara, C. Inoue, and N. Suzuki, Curr. Microbiol. 22:35-41, 1991). With these genes as probes, a second set of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase genes (rbcL2-rbcS2) was identified in the same strain and cloned. rbcL1 and rbcL2 encode the large subunits, and rbcS1 and rbcS2 encode the small subunits. Similar restriction patterns between these gene sets suggested a high level of sequence homology. In fact, sequence analysis showed that a 2.2-kb region, including the entire large and small subunit structural genes, was totally conserved in rbcL1-rbcS1 and rbcL2-rbcS2. The rbcL1 (rbcL2) and rbcS1 (rbcS2) genes were 1,422 and 333 bp in length and encoded 473- and 110-amino-acid proteins, respectively. The genes were separated by a 90-bp spacer sequence and were preceded by possible ribosome-binding sites. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of the subunit proteins, synthesized in Escherichia coli, were determined by Edman degradation and found to agree with the deduced amino acid sequences, except for the N-terminal methionine residue. The transcriptional start site of the rbc genes was determined by primer extension, and the size of the rbc transcript was estimated to be about 2.1 kb, suggestive of the cotranscription of rbcL1-rbcS1 and/or rbcL2-rbcS2 mRNAs. Comparisons of amino acid sequences of both subunits with those of other organisms revealed that the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase of T. ferrooxidans, a chemoautotrophic bacterium, is phylogenetically closer to the photosynthetic bacterium Chromatium vinosum than to another chemoautotrophic bacterium, Alcaligenes eutrophus.
Design of a Luenberger observer based sensorless multi-loop control for boost converters

The conventional multi-loop control of a boost converter needs a current sampling circuit to detect the inductor current. Sensorless multi-loop control reduces the cost, size and weight of the power conversion system. The Luenberger observer (LO) is widely used to estimate the inductor current for the sensorless control of a switching converter. However, the design of the LO based sensorless multi-loop control has not been well presented by far. In this paper, a closed-loop characteristics evaluation method is proposed to design a LO based sensorless multi-loop control for boost converters. Simulations show the closed-loop characteristics evaluations. Practical experiments on a digital processor confirm the simulations.
