Study of thin metallic coatings suitable for single shot interferometry

We have developed a novel single shot interferometry which allows 3D profiling of metal surfaces from one-time interferogram acquisition. In a previous study, the surface profiles of metals with relatively high reflection coefficients were successfully measured. In the method, a metal coated reference glass plate resulted in the formation of an asymmetric saw-toothed intensity distribution whose distorted direction was correlated with the surface inclination. The contrast of the interferogram varied depending on the thickness of the coated metal film. Interferometry requires high contrast of interference fringes. In this study, the effects of the thickness of the coated metal on the contrast of interference fringes were examined experimentally and theoretically. The contrast showed the minimum value when the film thickness was 3nm and the highest value at a thickness of 15 nm. If a low reflectivity material is observed, a saw-toothed intensity distribution is not guaranteed. To examine the limitation of this methodology, plastic materials with lower reflection coefficients were measured. The experimental results showed that the method is applicable even to PMMA with a low reflection coefficient of 4%. Hence, the measurement method can be considered to identify 3D surface profiles over a wide range of materials with various reflection coefficients.

High-speed Vibration Mode Measurement by One-pitch Phase Analysis Method

The phase-shifting method for analyzing the phase of a grating projection is often used for high-accuracy shape measurement. This method is difficult to apply to moving objects because the object must remain motionless while several phase-shifted images are gathered to analyze the phase. The one-pitch phase analysis (OPPA) method developed by the authors can perform high-speed phase analysis by using brightness data on one grating pitch of a single image. Therefore, this method is applicable to moving objects. Vibration modal analysis can be performed by measuring the changing displacement at each pixel point of the vibrating object and applying the Fourier transform on the time-series data. This principle and an application example are shown.
On Equivalence and Cores for Incomplete Databases in Open and Closed Worlds

Data exchange heavily relies on the notion of incomplete database instances. Several semantics for such instances have been proposed and include open (OWA), closed (CWA), and open-closed (OCWA) world. For all these semantics important questions are: whether one incomplete instance semantically implies another; when two are semantically equivalent; and whether a smaller or smallest semantically equivalent instance exists. For OWA and CWA these questions are fully answered. For several variants of OCWA, however, they remain open. In this work we adress these questions for Closed Powerset semantics and the OCWA semantics of [Leonid Libkin and Cristina Sirangelo, 2011]. We define a new OCWA semantics, called OCWA*, in terms of homomorphic covers that subsumes both semantics, and characterize semantic implication and equivalence in terms of such covers. This characterization yields a guess-and-check algorithm to decide equivalence, and shows that the problem is NP-complete. For the minimization problem we show that for several common notions of minimality there is in general no unique minimal equivalent instance for Closed Powerset semantics, and consequently not for the more expressive OCWA* either. However, for Closed Powerset semantics we show that one can find, for any incomplete database, a unique finite set of its subinstances which are subinstances (up to renaming of nulls) of all instances semantically equivalent to the original incomplete one. We study properties of this set, and extend the analysis to OCWA*.
Fair and Decentralized Exchange of Digital Goods.

We construct a privacy-preserving, distributed and decentralized marketplace where parties can exchange data for tokens. In this market, buyers and sellers make transactions in a blockchain and interact with a third party, called notary, who has the ability to vouch for the authenticity and integrity of the data. We introduce a protocol for the data-token exchange where neither party gains more information than what it is paying for, and the exchange is fair: either both parties gets the other's item or neither does. No third party involvement is required after setup, and no dispute resolution is needed.

MITIGATION AGAINST CROSS SITE SCRIPTING (XSS) ATTACK – A SURVEY

As we know the most of web applications are used by an organizations to grow their business. The security of web application is most essential concern for the continuous business without interruption of any cyber attack. The Cross Site Scripting often known as XSS attack is common injection vulnerability which is also specified in OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) Top 10 Web Application Risk in 2010, 2013, 2017. By exploiting the Cross Site Scripting vulnerability, an attacker may capture sessions of users and also able to change, view and delete the web application data, execute the malicious script over the web application, and manipulate the victim to attack other targeted servers. This paper describes the types of Cross Site Scripting and demonstrate the exploitation of the Cross Site Scripting vulnerability on DVWA (Damn Vulnerable Web App) website. Also, the paper include a mechanism to apply the security against Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities by implementing the Web Application Firewall (WAF) such as Modsecurity. We can deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) to safeguard web applications. It protect the web applications from various types of attacks such as cross-site-scripting, SQL injection, and cross-site request forgery etc. A Web Application Firewall is providing the security against various vulnerabilities on OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) Layer 7 which is Application Layer. This firewall will work effectively when it is configured with proper rules. By writing the strong custom rules, it ensures the Web Application Firewall (WAF) correctly detects attacks and also block them if any rule violated or takes appropriate action.
On-Demand, Unattended Authentication: A Novel Online Access Model Without Cumbersome Login Procedures

In this paper, we present a novel idea of online access model which does not have login procedures and relies on on-demand, authentications using smartphones instead. Traditional login-based online access models either with or without additional multi-factor authentication suffer from problems such as the paradox of complexity of passwords, attacks on passwords/factors such as devices, and so on. The proposed model can resolve many of those problems, if not all, by replacing the cumbersome login procedures with on-demand, continuous, and automated authentication to protect privacy.

Real Time Motion Detection for Traffic Analysis Using Computer Vision

Nowadays, as the digital era proliferates, there are a number of traffic violation detection systems built using hardware and software to detect violation of traffic rules. This article proposes an integrated method for traffic analysis by detecting vehicles in the video and tracking their motion for multiple violation detection. The purpose of this integrated system is to provide a method to identify different types of traffic violations and to reduce the number of systems used to record violations. This method receives input from traffic surveillance camera and uses DNN to classify the vehicles to reduce the number of personnel needed to do this manually. The authors have implemented modules which are used to track vehicles and detect violations such as line crossing, lane changing, signal jumping, over-speeding and find illegally parked vehicles. The main purpose of this project is to convert manual traffic analysis into a smart traffic management system.
Evaluation of moment generated in members by convolutional neural network

Wheelchair fencing is the official event of the Paralympic Games, wheelchairs are fixed on a frame called a piste and played. The piste consists of boards to fix the wheelchair and a metal bar, which called central bar. It makes keeping the players at a certain distance to play the game. The player's quick weight transfer causes the central bar to generate large bending stress due to the lifting of the piste. However, the required strength of the central bar has not been clarified for the safety of the athletes. In the past, it was necessary to use expensive equipment such as motion capture to solve problems with movement. However, techniques like Convolutional neural network (CNN) have the potential to simplify the solution of these problems. CNN is a neural network which contains various layers of which some of them are a convolutional layer, pooling layer, activation layer. This paper presents a method of the measuring rotation angle of piste for calculation of moment. This proposed method was used the CNN, and this method aims at realizing simple evaluation of moment.
Secure and Scalable Multi-Company Management in Enterprise Cloud Storage Broker System

CloudRAID for Business (CfB) is a proof-of-concept enterprise cloud storage broker (ECSB) system that provides data security in the cloud. It applies a single-authority ciphertext-based policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) scheme into its key management system (KMS) to solve its scalability and access control issues for multi-users and multi-devices scenarios. Unfortunately, this approach is not suitable for managing multiple companies as CfB customers since it could not provide secure and scalable zero-knowledge file sharing in the system. In this paper, we propose the practical implementation of a modified multi-authority attribute-based encryption (MA-ABE) scheme for CfB to provide a better secure and scalable KMS and zero-knowledge file sharing in a multi-company management scenario. Our work allows each company to have the authority to manage its attributes and keys for the company's employees as CfB users while CfB manages multiple companies without global decryption power to decrypt the company's encrypted data. Our evaluation shows that our proposal provides better performance with the smaller size of ciphertext and key, faster processing time, and better security compared with current CfB system.
Application of Sequential Data Assimilation for Estimating Material Parameters and Boundary Conditions using Digital Image Correlation Method

Numerical simulations and CAE technologies have become essential tool to reduce costs in development and designing of products. However, in order to obtain the simulation results which accurately reproduce the actual phenomena, model parameters and simulation conditions need to be determined accurately. In many cases, such parameters and simulation conditions are determined by trial and error, which is a time-consuming process, or done by the well experienced engineer. Recently, measurement data obtained using digital image correlation (DIC) method is often used to be compared with the result of numerical analysis. DIC method is the optical method that provides full-field displacement and strain on the surface of the target object. Meanwhile, data assimilation (DA) has attracted much attention as the methodology to utilize experimental measurements to improve the simulation results. In this study, we demonstrate application of data assimilation methodology to finite element analysis for utilizing DIC measurements to improve analysis result by estimating material parameters and boundary conditions.
Improved Univariate Microaggregation for Integer Values

Privacy issues during data publishing is an increasing concern of involved entities. The problem is addressed in the field of statistical disclosure control with the aim of producing protected datasets that are also useful for interested end users such as government agencies and research communities. The problem of producing useful protected datasets is addressed in multiple computational privacy models such as $k$-anonymity in which data is clustered into groups of at least $k$ members. Microaggregation is a mechanism to realize $k$-anonymity. The objective is to assign records of a dataset to clusters and replace the original values with their associated cluster centers which are the average of assigned values to minimize information loss in terms of the sum of within group squared errors ($SSE$). While the problem is shown to be NP-hard in general, there is an optimal polynomial-time algorithm for univariate datasets. This paper shows that the assignment of the univariate microaggregation algorithm cannot produce optimal partitions for integer observations where the computed centroids have to be integer values. In other words, the integrality constraint on published quantities has to be addressed within the algorithm steps and the optimal partition cannot be attained using only the results of the general solution. Then, an effective method that considers the constraint is proposed and analyzed which can handle very large numerical volumes. Experimental evaluations confirm that the developed algorithm not only produces more useful datasets but also is more efficient in comparison with the general optimal univariate algorithm.
THE MAIN CHARACTER’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS AS REFLECTED IN FOUR: A DIVERGENT COLLECTION NOVEL BY VERONICA ROTH

This study analyzes Four: A Divergent Collection novel written by Veronica Roth in 2014 using Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs that shows the representation  of each basic needs to get to the highest needs, self-actualization. This study uses qualitative method. There are two types of data. Those are primary and secondary data. The primary data is taken from the novel Four: A Divergent Collection by Veronica Roth. The secondary data is taken from journals, books, documents, articles, and websites which related to the study. The result of this study showed that the hierarchy of needs can be applied in human life. In the novel Four: A Divergent Collection, the main character tried to satisfy all his needs. The basic needs that Four have been fulfilled were physiological needs, safety needs, belongingness and love needs, and esteem needs. After those basic needs have been satisfied one by one, then he reached his self-actualization. Keywords: Hierarchy of Needs, Basic Needs, Self-Actualization,
