Protecting user data through ephemeral ownership of IoT devices

This demonstration presents a working prototype of TEO, a new model of device ownership that divides traditional owners into "admin" and "ephemeral owners". TEO addresses the challenge that users have no say in how their data are managed when the device is controlled by third parties, such as in rental and shared spaces. We design a complete protocol suite to address several practical issues, including preserving data ownership after users stop using the device, minimizing trusts with untrusted storage providers, enabling access control and revocation, and supporting groups of owners. Our cross-platform prototype implementation enables us to demonstrate the operational flow for managing ephemeral ownership of TEO-enabled devices in a representative setup with mobile phones, embedded devices, and Linux servers.
Commission 21: Light of the Night Sky

Commission 21, one of IAU's smallest commissions, consists of some hundred members and consultants working to understand and describe the light of the night sky with emphasis on the diffuse components. Many more work on these topics without being members of the commission. Light is here defined in its broader sense of electromagnetic radiation of any frequency. The diffuse components of the light of the night sky encompass a variety of physical phenomena over the full range of cosmic distance scales and include scattered light, thermal emission, line emission, and any other emission phenomena producing a diffuse light source. These attract interest not only as scientific topics of study in their own right but also as an unwanted foreground or background against which all other sky phenomena are observed. Commission 21 has for mandate to promote research and availability of results on issues related to the diffuse light of the night sky. This document is a report on activities in this field and is not confined to the activities of its members, no distinction is made between work carried out by commission members and non commission members. The report is organized starting with a summary of the state of broad surveys that provide most of the observations. The report on developments in the various disciplines start with the sources closest to the observer known as airglow and progresses by way of the interplanetary and interstellar mediums to the increasingly distant integrated starlight, diffuse galactic light and diffuse emission in other galaxies ending with the extragalactic background radiation.
Alternator interrupting circuit for improving fuel economy

The advancement of automotive fuel efficiency is vital to the continued sustainability of our society. One such aspect of improving fuel efficiency is the optimisation of auto-electrical charging systems, which can be disabled during acceleration for gains of 1-5%. Several systems have already been developed for such a purpose, but to date, no design has fulfilled the need of an inexpensive aftermarket solution for older cars already in circulation. This project sought to fill this technological gap through the design of a simple, low-cost system that switched off the alternator during acceleration to save fuel, and could be retrofitted to older cars in an aftermarket or DIY (do-it-yourself) approach. A prototype system was built at a cost of AUD 69, using a microswitch on the accelerator pedal to trip a relay that disabled the alternator’s charging capability, with a low-voltage failsafe circuit included to maintain sufficient cranking voltage at all times. A 2002 Toyota Landcruiser and a 2000 Ford Laser were tested to measure the effect the system had on fuel efficiency, and the Ford Laser was also tested for battery wear as well as the system’s effect on acceleration power. The Landcruiser saw a 0.79% ± 6.11% increase in fuel efficiency, while the Laser reported an increase of 4.41% ± 5.29%. Battery wear testing of the Laser revealed no discernible battery degradation or declining trend in battery capacity, and the alternator governing system was found to theoretically give 3% better power to the Ford Laser during acceleration in urban environments. The project achieved its objectives of a feasible low cost, aftermarket system, with further streamlining of costs projected to reduce the cost-per-unit to AUD 32.
Challenges in Gene Network Problems for Cancer Treatment

theory. The Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) is a useful tool to find the gene pathway or estimate gene networks. A directed acyclic graph with probability distribution is called a Bayesian network. There are many approaches to Bayesian network problems. There are three categories for estimating the Bayesian Networks: a score-and-search approach to find a solution in the space of the Bayesian network, a constraintbased approach that tests conditional independencies which can be identified through the data, and a hybrid approach which combines the two approaches. The purpose of a score-and-search approach is to find a structure which gives a good score function value, and apply a heuristic algorithm to find the optimal value of the score function. The purpose of a constraint-based approach is to use a statistical test of conditional independence to find a skeleton as well as directionality of the network. One of the well-known methods for the constraint-based approach is the PC-algorithm [1]. In highdimensional data, [2] showed that the PC-algorithm can estimate sparse DAGs within a reasonable computational time. Hybrid search approaches incorporating the above two approaches have been proposed. One known method is a max-min hill-climbing algorithm [3]. Those methods have been used to estimate DAGs with even a moderate number of nodes.
Design and Development of a Physical and a Virtual Embodied Conversational Agent for Social Support of Older Adults

Populations in developed societies show an increasingly higher life expectancy across the globe. To support older adults to live longer and healthier lives in the familiar surroundings of their homes, technological developments, such as robots and avatars, have a great potential. To investigate long-term interactions between older adults and a "bi-bodied conversational agent" (an agent that has both an avatar and a robot embodiment), a user-centred design approach was employed in the design and development of a conversational agent. Firstly, the requirements of the agent were elicited through a set of focus groups with the target users – older adults. Then, the agent was iteratively designed and implemented: a robot body and avatar body were created. Finally, a Wizard-of-Oz control panel was created to control and compare each of the two bodies. Current research outcomes describe the elicited requirements baseline of a bi-bodied conversational agent for older adults. Future research involves the use of this set-up to investigate long-term interaction between older adults and a bibodied conversational agent.
The Security Issues of Cloud Computing Over Normal & IT Sector

Here, we are going to discuss security issues for cloud computing and present a layered framework for secure clouds and then focus on two of the layers, i.e., the storage layer and the data layer. Cloud computing is a set of IT services that are provided to a customer over a network on a leased basis and with the ability to scale up or down their service requirements. Usually cloud computing services are delivered by a third party provider who owns the infrastructure. It advantages to mention but a few include scalability, resilience, flexibility, efficiency and outsourcing non-core activities. This paper will converse secure federated query processing with map Reduce and Hadoop, and discuss the use of secure coprocessors for cloud computing. Cloud computing offers an innovative business model for organizations to adopt IT services without upfront investment. Despite the potential gains achieved from the cloud computing, the organizations are slow in accepting it due to security issues and challenges associated with it. Security is one of the major issues which hamper the growth of cloud. The idea of handing over important data to another company is worrisome; such that the consumers need to be vigilant in understanding the risks of data breaches in this new environment. This paper introduces a detailed analysis of the cloud computing security issues and challenges focusing on the cloud computing types and the service delivery types.

A multi-scale Eulerian-Lagrangian method for efficient DNS simulation of the assisted atomization of a planar liquid sheet

The physics of assisted atomization process involves many spatial scales, where a wide variety of liquid inclusions of different sizes are produced. Large density and viscosity ratios associated with strong shearing flows make the process difficult to reproduce numerically. To correctly capture the dynamics of these spatial scales, each one should be resolved with an appropriate method, each one preserving the physical quantities and the correct interface topology. The simulation should reproduce enough physical time to allow reliable statistics. To address these problems, an original multi-scale methodology has been developed. It consists of three main items. The first is a coupled Level Set/Volume of Fluid method (CLSVOF) for accurate capture of the primary atomization process. The second an adaptive mesh refinement technique (oct-tree AMR) to dynamically optimize the structured Cartesian mesh. The third consists of a particle tracking algorithm to capture droplet dynamics. An improved Eulerian-Lagrangian coupling has been developed to assure a smooth transition between the Eulerian and the Lagrangian modelling of the droplets, where both models approach their design limits. The overall procedure is tested on simplified numerical tests and validated on a planar liquid sheet assisted atomization case. Results show its ability to reproduce the whole atomization process, from large scale instabilities to small droplet dynamics. A preliminary statistical spray analysis is performed as well, showing a realistic distribution of droplet sizes and average droplet diameter.
Service Oriented Architecture based Embedded System Software Testing for Mobile Service

: In recent years, for a range of mobile applications, the need for getting data or information from one place to another has been a driving force. There is huge demand for the usage of Service Oriented Architecture for different applications, if the number of embedded systems is increased. To distribute and estimate technical realizations of business tasks, embedded system provides a systematic way. But there are some limitations for embedded systems in computing environment-a mobile computer is equipped with more powerful capabilities. It maintains a small database, capacity of data processing, a narrow user input of user and small display. This paper presents how to overcome mobile limitation using embedded system software testing based on SOA. For further improvement of embedded system, it is first analyzing mobile application requirement, then write down the service specifications, enhancing the design providing extended use case specification which test use case testing and testing service test case which is derived from service specification.

Info 2019 This paper describes the broadband monopole antenna refers to a signal wideband of the frequencies, which can be divided the signal into channels of the frequency bins. Aim this paper to design and development broadband monopole antenna. The monopole antenna was designed by adding slot to the radiated patch antenna with a single feed line, which reduced the size and the design complexity. A rectangular patch antenna was presented using feed line to decrease the ground plane with a suitable gap distance. The broadband monopole antenna was designed with a frequency range of 800 MHz – 3 GHz, with Bandwidth 0.66 (dB), reflection coefficients and return loss. The frequency-dependent characteristic impedance was included. It can be used in various broadband applications in used commercially for various communication systems such as 4G (LTE), WiMAX and WLAN (LTE), remote sensing, biomedical, and mobile wireless. Apart from that, this technology is environment-friendly; an antenna which consists of reception and transmission. The antenna is simulated by using computer simulation (CST) software; using FR-4 substrate of 4.4 permittivity thickness 1.6 mm and loss tangent of 0.025. The measurement result is accepted with simulation result, proving the acceptable broadband operation for this proposed
The integration and validation of precision management tools in mixed farming systems

Precision farming techniques are now widely applied within simple cropping systems. However the use of precision technologies to improve the production efficiency of pasture phases in mixed farming systems remains largely unexplored. This paper reports on a project that is examining the agronomic and financial outcomes of using remote and proximally sensed data and site specific management strategies on the sustainability, resilience and profitability of dryland mixed farming systems. Experimental data are being gathered from two dryland cropping sites, one in Western Australia and one in north-eastern Victoria. Remote sensing technologies are being used to investigate livestock and pasture interactions in the grazing phase and to follow the after-effects of different management strategies into a subsequent cropping phase. Although the project is still in an early phase, results generated to date using relatively coarse NDVI (250 m pixel) data from MODIS satellite imagery as an indicator of net primary production suggest that spatial variation in biomass between pasture and cropping phases is consistent and correlated over time. Higher resolution analysis at the 1m-10 m pixel scale is required to enable further exploration of the relationships between the pasture and cropping phases.
Novel Genetic Loci Associated with Osteoarthritis in Multi-Ancestry Analyses in 484,374 Participants from MVP and the UK Biobank.

To date there have been no large multi ancestry genetic studies of osteoarthritis (OA). We leveraged the unique resources of 484,374 participants in the Million Veteran Program (MVP) and UK Biobank to address this gap. Analyses included participants of European, African, Asian and Hispanic descent. We discovered OA associated genetic variation in 10 loci and replicated association findings from previous OA studies. We also present evidence some OA-associated regions are robust to population ancestry. Drug repurposing analyses revealed enrichment of targets of several medication classes and provide potential insight to etiology of beneficial effects of antiepileptics on OA pain.

This is reflected in the system of self-attitudes of adolescents, which can lead to intrapersonal conflicts due to the dissonance of conceptions about their own real and ideal self-image. Such dissonances can hinder the construction of one’s own social roles. Therefore, timely detection of risks of personal dissonance emergence in the sphere of subjective perceptions of one’s own real and ideal self-images becomes one of the leading tasks of providing psychological and psychotherapeutic aid to adolescents, aimed at harmonizing their formation in the process of socialization. The aim of the research is to study the factors that determine the psychological peculiarities of personal dissonance of adolescents in the sphere of real and ideal selfimage. The research is based on the use of psychodiagnostic methods of Leary (2004) and Pantileev (1993) for the survey of 303 adolescents of both sexes at the age of 14-17, who recognize the presence of discrepancies between real and ideal self-images. Empirical data has shown a relationship between a constellation of psychological factors that determine the emergence of personal dissonances in the sphere of authoritarianism, dominance, suspicion, aggression, subordination, dependency, friendship and altruism. The research will help to understand the psychological factors of the emergence and functioning of personal dissonances of adolescents, which affect both the system of their self-attitude and the building of their social ties. This opens up prospects for improving psychoprophylactic measures aimed at preventing personal dissonances in adolescents.
. (2017) An examination of the long-term business value of investments in information technology. Information Systems Frontiers

In this paper, we examine the effects of investments in Information Technology (IT) on the long term business values of organizations. The regression discontinuity design is used in this research to examine eight hundred and ten IT investment announcements collected from the period 1982-2007. Our results found that press releases can affect the market value of a firm by possibly providing investors with a better idea of a firm’s current and future operations and strategy. On the other hand, these press releases also appear to attract more transient investors. The attraction of transient investors likely suggests the market believes the IT investing firm is serious about its potential for growth and expansion.

Methods for Converting Speech codec between GSM and G.729 through transcoding system Use Transcoding system for converting speech codec Between GSM and G.729

— As we know that GSM coder is used for mobile communication and G.729 is commonly used in internet communication eg.VOIP. For modern communication network it is important that both networks should use interoperability. In this paper we discuss the transcoding system which convert speech codec format between G.729 and GSM. Transcoding system which we required for connecting two different networks, it should required less computation than the conventional decode then-encode (DTE). Through this transcoding system speech codec format can easily exchange information between these two different networks
How engineering consultants should communicate with their clients: an Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) perspective

Abstract As engineering consultancy service quality offerings approach levels of parity in the market place, establishing an effective communication strategy is increasingly becoming the fundamental marketing function that can create and maintain service differentiation and brand equity, leading to a sustainable competitive advantage. However, certain cultural and attitudinal barriers, borne out of perceptions, exist that inhibit marketing practices within this industry. This research was undertaken to challenge these perceptions, evaluate the scope for improvement in communications and examine how an integrated marketing communication strategy can improve the consultant’s competitive advantage within a business-to-business context. In addition to an extensive review of extant academic literature relevant to the industry, this study used survey-questionaries to examine client-perceptions of the marketing communication channels available to engineering consultants. Furthermore, using a subjective review of consultant websites as a proxy, it assessed the level of alignment between existing consultant communication strategies and the previously established client-perceptions.
Malignant Disorders of Small Lymphocytes

Within the group of small lymphocytic proliferations, three clinicopathologic disease entities are generally recognized: small lymphocytic (well-differentiated) nonHodgkin's lymphoma (SLL), lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, LPL), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This classification is based on certain hematologic and serum immunoglobulin findings, as indicated in Table 1. Small lymphocytic disorders are neoplasias of B cells, at several stages of differentiation, and therefore express immunologic features of the B-cell lineage. All of these diseases are characterized cytohistologically by proliferation of mature-looking lymphocytic, well-differentiated lymphocytic, or lymphoplasmacytic cells. The diseases may involve all of the lymphoreticular tissue and, therefore, many sites and organs. In publications there is a great deal of discrepancy in the classification of small lymphocytic lymphomas. Some authors, for example, report classic CLL cases under the category of small lymphocytic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma based only on histologic studies of the lymph nodes. Our purpose in this paper is to analyze the similarities and differences among SLL, CLL, and LPL based on our experience, and to review published reports.
The contributionof ‘omic’-basedapproaches to the studyof enhanced biological phosphorus removalmicrobiology

The role that microorganisms play in the biological removal of phosphate from wastewater streams has received sustained interest since its initial observation over 30 years ago. Recent advances in ‘omic’-based approaches have greatly advanced our knowledge in this field and facilitated a refinement of existing enhanced biological phosphate removal (EBPR) models, which were primarily based on culture-dependent approaches that had predominantly been used to investigate the process. This minireview will focus on the recent advances made in our overall understanding of the EBPR process resulting from the use of ‘omic’-based methodologies.
Reversible Sesqui-Pushout Rewriting

For a top-down tree transducer with regular look-ahead we introduce the notion of diﬀerence bound, which is a number bounding the diﬀerence in output height for any two look-ahead states of the transducer. We present an algorithm that, for a given transducer with a known diﬀerence bound, decides whether it is equivalent to a transducer without regular look-ahead, and constructs such a transducer if the answer is positive. All transducers are total and deterministic
