Interoperablity of bank statements: A case study

There are different types of bank statements offered by various banks. So far there are no standards, and each bank builds its own type of statements. Most of these statements given to the citizens are in pdf format, and lately several banks offer statements in excel formats. Very rarely one can find XML types of statements, which can be further processed. To use data from statements in other applications, one has to build their own interpreter of bank statements. To solve the existing problem with interoperability, as a main motivation for this paper, we introduce an adapter, which can read various types of statements and return an XML file as output. Our realization of the adapter works with statements offered by most of the banks in our country as a proof of concept. The adapter was efficiently used in a special program for analysis of consumer costs, where one can access accounts in several banks and calculate taxes, income statements and analyze the costs.
On the accretion properties of young stellar objects in the L1615/L1616 cometary cloud

We present the results of FLAMES/UVES and FLAMES/GIRAFFE spectroscopic observations of 23 low-mass stars in the L1615/L1616 cometary cloud, complemented with FORS2 and VIMOS spectroscopy of 31 additional stars in the same cloud. L1615/L1616 is a cometary cloud where the star formation was triggered by the impact of the massive stars in the Orion OB association. From the measurements of the lithium abundance and radial velocity, we confirm the membership of our sample to the cloud. We use the equivalent widths of the H$\alpha$, H$\beta$, and the HeI $\lambda$5876, $\lambda$6678, $\lambda$7065 \AA$ $emission lines to calculate the accretion luminosities, $L_{\rm acc}$, and the mass accretion rates, $\dot M_{\rm acc}$. We find in L1615/L1616 a fraction of accreting objects ($\sim 30\%$), which is consistent with the typical fraction of accretors in T associations of similar age ($\sim 3$ Myr). The mass accretion rate for these stars shows a trend with the mass of the central object similar to that found for other star-forming regions, with a spread at a given mass which depends on the evolutionary model used to derive the stellar mass. Moreover, the behavior of the $2MASS/WISE$ colors with $\dot M_{\rm acc}$ indicates that strong accretors with $\log \dot M_{\rm acc} \gt -8.5$ dex show large excesses in the $JHK{\rm s}$ bands, as in previous studies. We also conclude that the accretion properties of the L1615/L1616 members are similar to those of young stellar objects in T associations, like Lupus.

Users Really Do Plug in USB Drives They Find

We investigate the anecdotal belief that end users will pick up and plug in USB flash drives they find by completing a controlled experiment in which we drop 297 flash drives on a large university campus. We find that the attack is effective with an estimated success rate of 45 -- 98% and expeditious with the first drive connected in less than six minutes. We analyze the types of drives users connected and survey those users to understand their motivation and security profile. We find that a drive's appearance does not increase attack success. Instead, users connect the drive with the altruistic intention of finding the owner. These individuals are not technically incompetent, but are rather typical community members who appear to take more recreational risks then their peers. We conclude with lessons learned and discussion on how social engineering attacks -- while less technical -- continue to be an effective attack vector that our community has yet to successfully address.
Frequency dependence of the reorientational motion of OD bonds of deuterated methanol in liquid phase: A first principles molecular dynamics study

Abstract We present an ab initio molecular dynamics study of the frequency dependence of rotational motion of OD bonds of deuterated methanol in liquid phase. A time series analysis of the simulated trajectories is performed to calculate the fluctuating frequencies of the OD bonds and the frequency-resolved rotational dynamics are investigated through calculations of the first and second-rank rotational correlation functions of the OD bond vectors. The short-time dynamics is found to depend on the chosen frequency which, in turn, is related to different hydrogen bonded environments of methanol molecules. The long time dynamics is found to be independent of the frequency of OD bonds. The effects of dispersion interactions on the calculated results are also discussed. The current first principles results are compared with the available experiments on frequency dependence of rotational dynamics of similar alcoholic systems.
Costing malaria interventions from pilots to elimination programmes

Abstract Background Malaria programmes in countries with low transmission levels require evidence to optimize deployment of current and new tools to reach elimination with limited resources. Recent pilots of elimination strategies in Ethiopia, Senegal, and Zambia produced evidence of their epidemiological impacts and costs. There is a need to generalize these findings to different epidemiological and health systems contexts. Methods Drawing on experience of implementing partners, operational documents and costing studies from these pilots, reference scenarios were defined for rapid reporting (RR), reactive case detection (RACD), mass drug administration (MDA), and in-door residual spraying (IRS). These generalized interventions from their trial implementation to one typical of programmatic delivery. In doing so, resource use due to interventions was isolated from research activities and was related to the pilot setting. Costing models developed around this reference implementation, standardized the scope of resources costed, the valuation of resource use, and the setting in which interventions were evaluated. Sensitivity analyses were used to inform generalizability of the estimates and model assumptions. Results Populated with local prices and resource use from the pilots, the models yielded an average annual economic cost per capita of $0.18 for RR, $0.75 for RACD, $4.28 for MDA (two rounds), and $1.79 for IRS (one round, 50% households). Intervention design and resource use at service delivery were key drivers of variation in costs of RR, MDA, and RACD. Scale was the most important parameter for IRS. Overall price level was a minor contributor, except for MDA where drugs accounted for 70% of the cost. The analyses showed that at implementation scales comparable to health facility catchment area, systematic correlations between model inputs characterizing implementation and setting produce large gradients in costs. Conclusions Prospective costing models are powerful tools to explore resource and cost implications of policy alternatives. By formalizing translation of operational data into an estimate of intervention cost, these models provide the methodological infrastructure to strengthen capacity gap for economic evaluation in endemic countries. The value of this approach for decision-making is enhanced when primary cost data collection is designed to enable analysis of the efficiency of operational inputs in relation to features of the trial or the setting, thus facilitating transferability.
Electrical conductivities for four ternary electrolyte aqueous solutions with one or two ionic liquid components at ambient temperatures and pressure

Abstract This work provides a method to explore the transport property of the electrolyte aqueous solutions with one or two ionic liquids, especially focus on their electrical conductivity. The conductivities were measured for the ternary systems NaCl–[C 6 mim][Cl] (1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride)–H 2 O, [C 6 mim][BF 4 ]–[C 6 mim][Cl]–H 2 O, NaNO 3 –[C 6 mim][BF 4 ](1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate)–H 2 O, and [C 4 mim][BF 4 ] (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate)–[C 6 mim][BF 4 ]–H 2 O, and their binary subsystems NaNO 3 –H 2 O, NaCl–H 2 O, [C 6 mim][BF 4 ]–H 2 O, [C 6 mim][Cl]–H 2 O, and [C 4 mim][BF 4 ]–H 2 O, respectively. The conductivities of the ternary systems were also determined using generalized Young's rule and semi-ideal solution theory in terms of the data of their binary solutions. The comparison showed that the two simple equations provide good predictions for conductivity of mixed electrolyte solutions and the mixed ionic liquid solutions based on the conductivity of their binary subsystems.
Bio-Oxidated s2: the solution to use organic sludge, non-hazardous industrial waste and urban green waste to make bricks.

The project aims to employ organic, urban and industrial sludge, along with non-hazardous waste from industrial processes
and along with urban green waste, in the production of bricks with enhanced heat insulating capacity. This is made possible
by an innovative compound called Bio-Oxidated S2, patented by the consortium.
The purpose of the project is to create a pilot plant for producing Bio-Oxidated S2 and also to develop a new business model
that will set up a production chain consisting of waste disposal companies and brick manufacturers in order to duplicate this
chain in major brick producing areas in Europe.
An industrial-sized plant for producing Bio-Oxidated S2 will be able to dispose of 50,000 tons of organic sludge, 30,000 tons
of urban green waste and 20,000 tons of non-hazardous waste material from industrial processes per year. It will produce
50,000 tons of Bio-Oxidated S2 and provide 15 new jobs. Used as an additive to clay, this amount of Bio-Oxidated S2 can
be employed to produce 300,000 tons of brick per year, and these bricks will have a thermal conductivity index that is 15%
lower than the finest bricks currently available (which will lead to better heat insulation in new buildings), while saving 50,000
tons of raw materials (30,000 tons of clay and 20,000 tons of sand) and 1,500,000 m3 of natural gas used for baking the
bricks.
The project helps mitigate or solve important industrial and social problems, because it: 1) increases the percentage of
organic sludge that is recycled; 2) reduces the amount of raw materials used to produce the bricks; 3) lowers the
consumption of natural gas in the brick production process; 4) helps increase environmental compatibility in the building
construction sector.
The project develops an industrial symbiosis whereby different actors derive mutual benefit from sharing utilities and waste
materials and it will be possible to turn waste from one industry into useful feedstock for another one.
The Breakup 2.0: Disconnecting over New Media

A few generations ago, college students showed their romantic commitments by exchanging special objects: rings, pins, varsity letter jackets. Pins and rings were handy, telling everyone in local communities that you were spoken for, and when you broke up, the absence of a ring let everyone know you were available again. Is being Facebook official really more complicated, or are status updates just a new version of these old tokens? Many people are now fascinated by how new media has affected the intricacies of relationships and their dissolution. People often talk about Facebook and Twitter as platforms that have led to a seismic shift in transparency and (over)sharing. What are the new rules for breaking up? These rules are argued over and mocked in venues from the New York Times to lamebook.com, but well-thought-out and informed considerations of the topic are rare. Ilana Gershon was intrigued by the degree to which her students used new media to communicate important romantic informationsuch as its over. She decided to get to the bottom of the matter by interviewing seventy-two people about how they use Skype, texting, voice mail, instant messaging, Facebook, and cream stationery to end relationships. She opens up the world of romance as it is conducted in a digital milieu, offering insights into the ways in which different media influence behavior, beliefs, and social mores. Above all, this full-fledged ethnography of Facebook and other new tools is about technology and communication, but it also tells the reader a great deal about what college students expect from each other when breaking upand from their friends who are the spectators or witnesses to the ebb and flow of their relationships. The Breakup 2.0 is accessible and riveting.
Developing inclusive & sustainable creative economies

The DISCE (Developing Inclusive & Sustainable Creative Economies) project is set to improve and enhance the growth, inclusivity and sustainability of the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) in the EU. Overall, the ambitious objectives of DISCE are: i) to support the development patterns of CCIs within the EU through research on new business models and inclusive growth; and ii) to re-shape understanding of what ‘inclusive and sustainable growth’ consists of in this context, shifting the CCIs (and CCIs policy) towards strategic goals of ‘cultural development’ that encompass both GDP and human flourishing.  DISCE is an interdisciplinary, mixed-methods project that builds on three pillars:  1) Robust statistical analyses, mapping and development of new statistical indices for a better understanding of the inclusive and sustainable development of CCIs in Europe; 2) In-depth case studies developing rich findings and nuanced understanding of the Creative Economies and their ecologies; and 3) Active co-creation and interaction with stakeholders to validate the policy relevance of the project, as well as the policy outcomes and achieve long-term impact and sustainability.  DISCE serves all the beneficiaries relevant research results, which will help and support stakeholders to fill existing information gaps in daily policy and decision-making processes. DISCE will bring out recommendations for actors how to react, function and decide in specific situations to promote inclusive growth and progress on the sustainable development in the field of CCIs.  The DISCE Consortium has six partners: University of Turku (UTU) as the Coordinator, Kings College London (KCL), Social Science Area of the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI), Stockholm School of Economics in Riga (SSE) as ‘Research Partners’ and two ‘Stakeholder Partners’ Culture & Media Agency aisbl (CUMEDIAE) and Trans European Halles (TEH) both with wide networks in the field of CCIs.
Probabilistic finite element predictions of the human lower limb model in total knee replacement

The purpose of this paper is to explore both an extended and a reduced set of input parameters of the Finite Element (FE) model of the human lower limb with a Total Knee Replacement (TKR) implant. The most influential parameters in determining the size and the shape of the performance envelopes of eight kinematics and peak contact pressure output variables of the tibio-femoral joint and the patello-femoral joint are sought. The lower limb FE model, which includes bones, TKR implant, soft tissues and applied forces of realistic size, is used in the context of the stair ascent simulation. Two probabilistic methods are used together with the FE model to generate the performance envelopes and to explore the sensitivities of the input parameters of the FE model: the Monte Carlo simulation and the Response Surface Method (RSM). A total of four probabilistic FE analyses assess how the uncertainties in an extended set of 77 input variables and a reduced set of 22 input variables obtained from the RSM/sensitivity analyses affect the performance envelopes. It is shown that the FE model with the reduced set of variables is able to replicate the full FE model. The differences between the Monte Carlo envelopes of performance obtained with the FE model with the full set of variables and the FE model with the reduced set of variables were on average over all output measures under 1.67 mm for translations, 1.75° for rotations and under 2 MPa for peak contact pressures. The differences between the RSM and the Monte Carlo envelopes of performances obtained with the reduced set of input variables were, on average, over all output measures under 0.75 mm for translations, 1.26° for rotations and 2.39 MPa for peak contact pressures. While saving computational time with the reduced set of variables, the findings are especially of high importance to the orthopedic surgeons who would like to know the most important parameters that can influence the performance of the TKR for a given human activity.
Dissecting the cellular mechanics of contact inhibition of locomotion

Our aim is to dissect the mechanisms of contact inhibition of locomotion (CIL), a process whereby migrating cells collide and repel each other, as it is now clear that CIL is pivotal to understanding embryogenesis and pathologies such as cancer. We have developed an in vivo model using Drosophila macrophages (hemocytes), along with novel analytical tools, to examine the contact inhibition response in cells during development.  We therefore have an unprecedented opportunity to address CIL in a genetically tractable organism within a physiologically relevant setting. This model has revealed that a precisely controlled CIL response is a significant driving force behind the acquisition of embryonic patterns, and recent data show that this precision requires a series of synchronized changes in cytoskeletal dynamics. Our central hypothesis is that key to this cellular ‘dance’ is mechanosensation of the collision, which integrates subsequent signaling mechanisms to choreograph the steps of the contact inhibition process. The first part of this proposal will elucidate the molecular mechanisms controlling CIL by exploiting our unique ability to live image and genetically dissect this process in Drosophila. We will also take an interdisciplinary approach to elucidate the mechanical aspects of the response, which will allow us to examine the feedback between signaling pathways and the physical forces of the CIL response. We will subsequently extend our detailed understanding of the CIL process, and our novel set of analytical tools, to mammalian cell types and model systems. This will allow us to develop new assays to directly probe the mechanics of CIL and begin to investigate the function of this underexplored process in other cell types. This in depth knowledge of the response places us in the best position to extend our understanding of CIL to new physiologically relevant scenarios that in the future will impact on human health.

Optimus: A Parallel Optimization Framework with Topology Aware PSO and Applications

This research presents a parallel metaheuristic optimization framework, Optimus (Optimization Methods for Universal Simulators) for integration of a desired population-based search method with a target scientific application. Optimus includes a parallel middleware component, PRIME (Parallel Reconfigurable Iterative Middleware Engine) for scalable deployment on emergent supercomputing architectures. Additionally, we designed TAPSO (Topology Aware Particle Swarm Optimization) for network based optimization problems and applied it to achieve better convergence for water distribution system (WDS) applications. The framework supports concurrent optimization instances, for instance multiple swarms in the case of PSO. PRIME provides a lightweight communication layer to facilitate periodic inter-optimizer data exchanges. We performed scalability analysis of Optimus on Cray XK6(Jaguar) at Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility for the leak detection problem in WDS. For a weak scaling scenario, we achieved 84.82% of baseline at 200,000 cores relative to performance at 1000 cores and 72.84% relative to one core scenario.
Unified format definition for bulk data

In the industry, there are various special formats of bulk data, that are non-structural data. Lacking of normal method to describe the structure of non-structural data, it is difficult to query and manage non-structural data as same as structural data. A architecture is put forward to describe the logical structure of bulk data, that is composite of three levels: the bulk data format definition language, special format definition, physical data file. Analyzed the components of bulk data file, the formal definition and the corresponding XML description are presented to define the logical structure of bulk data file. Considering the logical structure is dependent on the detailed data in bulk data file, an format definition language is defined in XML schema, that can define difference kinds of bulk data format. To access data by logical structure for bulk data file, the approach of mapping from logical structure to physical file is presented. Above method has been applied to manage seismic data in petroleum domain.
