PROTECTING AND QUANTIFYING PRIVACY IN MOBILE CROWD THROUGH COLLABORATION

Security is the one of the most important issue that has attracted a lots of research and development effort in past few years. Location knows mobile phones helps different location based services (LBS). User sending a request to LBS server, while doing this type of request for information provides a private data by using data LBS can find a user. To overcome this drawback by proposing a user collaborative security protecting. We are not using a third party server. So by doing collaboration with Smartphone’s we can protect user’s information. This device stores a data in cache, if any one needs such a information so that time they can share it no need of sending a request to server. While doing like this we can protect users location information from servers. The result shows that, protecting a high fraction of location based information’s. Finally, our main implementation on smart phones shows that lightweight and low cost.
The Effect of Autotrophic Cultivation of Platymonas subcordiformis in Waters from the Natural Aquatic Reservoir on Hydrogen Yield

Biological processes run by microalgae are prospective but still little known methods of hydrogen production. A prerequisite for their increased advancement is the development of economically viable and efficient technologies. The study presented in this manuscript focused on determining the efficiency of biohydrogen production by P. subcordiformis using a culture medium prepared based on natural waters. The rate of P. subcordiformis biomass growth reached 317.6 ± 42.3 mgODM/dm3·d and ensured a biomass concentration of 3493 ± 465 mgODM/dm3. The percentage concentration of hydrogen in the biogas reached 63.2 ± 1.4%, and its production rate ranged from 0.53 ± 0.05 cm3/h to 0.70 ± 0.01 cm3/h.
Next-Generation Sequencing in Lung Cancer Patients: A Comparative Approach in NSCLC and SCLC Mutational Landscapes

Background: Lung cancer remains one of the most diagnosed malignancies, being the second most diagnosed cancer, while still being the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Late diagnosis remains a problem, alongside the high mutational burden encountered in lung cancer. Methods: We assessed the genetic profile of cancer genes in lung cancer using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets for mutations and validated the results in a separate cohort of 32 lung cancer patients using tumor tissue and whole blood samples for next-generation sequencing (NGS) experiments. Another separate cohort of 32 patients was analyzed to validate some of the molecular alterations depicted in the NGS experiment. Results: In the TCGA analysis, we identified the most commonly mutated genes in each lung cancer dataset, with differences among the three histotypes analyzed. NGS analysis revealed TP53, CSF1R, PIK3CA, FLT3, ERBB4, and KDR as being the genes most frequently mutated. We validated the c.1621A>C mutation in KIT. The correlation analysis indicated negative correlation between adenocarcinoma and altered PIK3CA (r = −0.50918; p = 0.0029). TCGA survival analysis indicated that NRAS and IDH2 (LUAD), STK11 and TP53 (LUSC), and T53 (SCLC) alterations are correlated with the survival of patients. Conclusions: The study revealed differences in the mutational landscape of lung cancer histotypes.
Reasoning in inconsistent prioritized knowledge bases: an argumentative approach

A study of query answering in prioritized ontological knowledge bases (KBs) has received attention in recent years. While several semantics of query answering have been proposed and their complexity is rather well-understood, the problem of explaining inconsistency-tolerant query answers has paid less attention. Explaining query answers permits users to understand not only what is entailed or not entailed by an inconsistent DL-LiteR KBs in the presence of priority, but also why. We, therefore, concern with the use of argumentation frameworks to allow users to better understand explanation techniques of querying answers over inconsistent DL-LiteR KBs in the presence of priority. More specifically, we propose a new variant of Dung’s argumentation frameworks, which corresponds to a given inconsistent DL-LiteR KB. We clarify a close relation between preferred subtheories adopted in such prioritized DL-LiteR setting and acceptable semantics of the corresponding argumentation framework. The significant result paves the way for applying algorithms and proof theories to establish preferred subtheories inferences in prioritized DL-LiteR KBs.
Antimicrobial Resistance, Biofilm Formation, and Virulence Genes in Enterococcus Species from Small Backyard Chicken Flocks

Backyard birds are small flocks that are more common in developing countries. They are used for poultry meat and egg production. However, they are also implicated in the maintenance and transmission of several zoonotic diseases, including multidrug-resistant bacteria. Enterococci are one of the most common zoonotic bacteria. They colonize numerous body sites and cause a wide range of serious nosocomial infections in humans. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to investigate the diversity in Enterococcus spp. in healthy birds and to determine the occurrence of multidrug resistance (MDR), multi-locus sequence types, and virulence genes and biofilm formation. From March 2019 to December 2020, cloacal swabs were collected from 15 healthy backyard broiler flocks. A total of 90 enterococci strains were recovered and classified according to the 16S rRNA sequence into Enterococcus faecalis (50%); Enterococcus faecium (33.33%), Enterococcus hirae (13.33%), and Enterococcus avium (3.33%). The isolates exhibited high resistance to tetracycline (55.6%), erythromycin (31.1%), and ampicillin (30%). However, all of the isolates were susceptible to linezolid. Multidrug resistance (MDR) was identified in 30 (33.3%) isolates. The enterococci AMR-associated genes ermB, ermA, tetM, tetL, vanA, cat, and pbp5 were identified in 24 (26.6%), 11 (12.2%), 39 (43.3%), 34 (37.7%), 1 (1.1%), 4 (4.4%), and 23 (25.5%) isolates, respectively. Of the 90 enterococci, 21 (23.3%), 27 (30%), and 36 (40%) isolates showed the presence of cylA, gelE, and agg virulence-associated genes, respectively. Seventy-three (81.1%) isolates exhibited biofilm formation. A statistically significant correlation was obtained for biofilm formation versus the MAR index and MDR. Multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) identified eleven and eight different STs for E. faecalis and E. faecium, respectively. Seven different rep-family plasmid genes (rep1–2, rep3, rep5–6, rep9, and rep11) were detected in the MDR enterococci. Two-thirds (20/30; 66.6%) of the enterococci were positive for one or two rep-families. In conclusion, the results show that healthy backyard chickens could act as a reservoir for MDR and virulent Enterococcus spp. Thus, an effective antimicrobial stewardship program and further studies using a One Health approach are required to investigate the role of backyard chickens as vectors for AMR transmission to humans.
Stabilization of Networked Systems with False Data Injection Attacks and Packet Dropouts

In this article, the state-feedback stabilization problem for a networked control system with packet dropouts and deception attacks is investigated. By integrating the system over the interval between two consecutive times at which the packets are successfully transmitted to actuator, the continuous-time system under consideration is first converted into a discrete-time system with stochastic parameters. Then, a sufficient condition is derived with the stochastic analysis technology. Subsequently, a state-feedback controller gain matrix is designed such that the mean-square exponential stability as well as a prescribed H∞ performance of the close-loop stochastic system is guaranteed. Finally, two simulation examples are presented to substantiate the effectiveness of the designed method.
Interactive Digital Book Reading in Families with Refugee Backgrounds

ABSTRACT Abundant research has explored interactive book reading and children’s literacy learning, but little is known about interactive digital book reading among families with refugee backgrounds. Drawing upon theoretical perspectives on social semiotics multimodality, this study investigates what happens when parents and children with a refugee background read digital children’s books multimodally. Data sources include ethnographic interviews, video recordings of family conversations, artifacts, and descriptive field notes based on observations. The findings present three common themes: selecting books, meaning making through semiotic resources, and discussing and learning in two languages. Implications include the importance of valuing digital multimodal and dual-language children’s books and acknowledging multiple interactions among parents, siblings, and young children of families with refugee backgrounds.
Low pressure CVD growth of 2D PdSe2 thin film and its application in PdSe2-MoSe2 vertical heterostructure

Palladium diselenide (PdSe2) is a novel member of the transition metal dichalcogenide family with layer dependent bandgap in the infrared regime with potential applications in many electronic and optoelectronic devices. Low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) could be an effective way to synthesize large area 2D PdSe2 materials at low growth temperatures creating new opportunities for the widescale applications of PdSe2. Here, we report LPCVD growth of PdSe2 for the first time at a growth temperature down to 250 °C, which is significantly lower than what was previously reported. The 2 nm Pd films became 8 nm PdSe2 after selenization in the temperature range of 250 °C–375 °C and no thickness variation with growth temperature was observed in our atomic force microscopy study. Raman study showed narrowing of PdSe2 related peaks with increasing growth temperature suggesting improved structural quality of the films. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study confirmed complete selenization of the thin films to the lowest growth temperature of 250 °C. Electrical transport properties study showed resistance of the devices decrease with increasing growth temperature possibly due to the improvement of crystallinity. We also found that the devices show p-type behavior with mobilities up to 1 cm2 V−1 s−1. The good electrical quality of the film was further confirmed by demonstrating its application in fabricating PdSe2/MoSe2 vertical heterojunction which showed rectification behavior with a rectification ratio of up to 232. Kelvin probe force microscopy confirmed that the rectification behavior was originated from the work function difference of 0.76 eV between MoSe2 and PdSe2.

Deep Residual Network with D-S Evidence Theory for Bimodal Emotion Recognition

In this paper, the Deep Residual Network (ResNet) with Dempster-Shafer (D-S) evidence theory is presented for bimodal emotion recognition through applying facial expression and speech emotion information. By acquiring discriminative emotion features and performing bimodal fusion of emotions, this method can overcome the limitations of single modal emotion recognition and obtain higher recognition accuracy. The key areas of emotional features and spectrograms are firstly used to acquire low-level characteristics of emotion. Moreover, two ResNets are designed to select high-level emotion semantic features. Furthermore, under the structure of D-S evidence theory, the output probability values are used for achieving emotion fusion to improve the effectiveness of bimodal emotion recognition. The experimental studies on the eNTERFACE’05 database demonstrate a recognition accuracy of 88.67%, which is a noteworthy improvement of 23.11% and 9.32% compared to an individual mode of facial expressions and speech, respectively.

CAPACITOR BANK SWITCHING TRANSIENTS IN LV APFC PANELS

Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) panels are finding application in commercial and industrial installations due to certain advantages over fixed capacitor banks in providing power factor correction and consequent reduction in distribution losses. One of the practical issues associated with capacitor switching is the switching transients. This is of great concern since the capacitors in an APFC panel are frequently switched on and off in response to varying load conditions so as to correct the power factor to the target value. This paper evaluates the severity of switching transients in a 200 kvar, 440 V contactor switched LV APFC panel. Magnitude and frequency of inrush current during single switching and back to back switching with and without pre-insertion resistors have been investigated and reported.
Coordination Control for Grid-Connection of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles and Distributed Generation

When large-amount of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles(PHEV) and distributed generation(DG) are integrated into power grid,the randomness of vehicle owners’ charging behavior and the intermittence of DG make the requirement to regulation capability of power grid raised.A multi-objective optimization model for coordination control of PHEV and DG is established,in which the maximum equivalent load rate,the minimum out-of-limit voltage and power loss ratio and the lowest service cost of vehicle to grid(V2G) and charging cost of PHEV owners are taken as the objectives.Using the proposed model,the charging/discharging power of PHEV can be dynamically adjusted;the load fluctuation and the output fluctuation of DG can be well matched,thus the impact of DG’s intermittence on power grid can be alleviated.The simulation of an actual 10kV feeder connected with PV generation and wind farm is performed and the results are analyzed in depth.
Bacterial Biosorbents, an Efficient Heavy Metals Green Clean-Up Strategy: Prospects, Challenges, and Opportunities

Rapid industrialization has led to the pollution of soil and water by various types of contaminants. Heavy metals (HMs) are considered the most reactive toxic contaminants, even at low concentrations, which cause health problems through accumulation in the food chain and water. Remediation using conventional methods, including physical and chemical techniques, is a costly treatment process and generates toxic by-products, which may negatively affect the surrounding environment. Therefore, biosorption has attracted significant research interest in the recent decades. In contrast to existing methods, bacterial biomass offers a potential alternative for recovering toxic/persistent HMs from the environment through different mechanisms for metal ion uptake. This review provides an outlook of the advantages and disadvantages of the current bioremediation technologies and describes bacterial groups, especially extremophiles with biosorbent potential for heavy metal removal with relevant examples and perspectives.
Work Scheduling Support in Consideration of Skill Level and Training of Workers

In maintenance work of large products and equipment, a manger usually dispatches jobs to individual works taking the worker's skill and training plan into consideration. However, jobs are becoming increasingly complex and difficult, personnel changes are more frequent. Therefore, it is difficult for the manager to remember individual workers' abilities completely, and computer support is needed to estimate the work completion time numerically and devise a work schedule in consideration of each worker's skill and training plan. In this paper, after the problem of work scheduling support is defined, a method of scheduling and simulating work tasks is proposed. The proposed method adopts an agent-based scheduling method to reflect each worker's experience and to handle the amount of On-the-Job Training (OJT) that is planned in the schedule. The simulation results show that the proposed method, in which the relationship between the schedule for fulfilling the due date and the schedule for maintaining workers' skills can be adjusted, is effective in decision support for managers.

Pinning and self‐adaptive control to the couple‐group consensus of heterogeneous fractional multi‐agent systems with cooperative‐competitive relation

In this article, the couple‐group consensus of a class of heterogeneous fractional multi‐agent systems with time‐varying delay (HFMASs) has been studied. Based on cooperative‐competitive interaction, pinning and self‐adaptive controller has been designed to realize the couple‐group consensus for this system with single integrator and double integrator fractional‐order dynamics. By using Lyapunov function, mode‐dependent average dwell time (MDADT) technology, stability theory and delta operator method, some sufficient conditions have been obtained to guard the success of couple‐consensus for this HFMASs with fixed or switching topologies. According to these sufficient conditions, the related feasible solutions can be solved by using liner matrix inequality (LMI). In addition, these results are also applicable to the system with weakly connected topology without containing a spanning tree or meeting the demand of equilibrium of degree. Finally, several simulation experiments have been presented to prove the validity of the related results.
