E-Dna botstop

In the last decade there has been an explosion in Online Travel Agents (OTAs) worldwide. OTAs undertake the mammoth task of undercutting the flight prices of major airlines through the use of Bots (an internet Bot, also known as web robot, WWW robot or simply bot, is a software application that runs automated tasks (scripts) over the Internet.). Bots are used to scrape airlines for valuable data to benchmark aggregate flight costs, which drives down prices for the consumer.

Whilst beneficial to consumers, scraping harms travel companies because:
•	Bots can engage with a websites’ server hardware and cause website traffic to run slower, in some cases causing server downtime and Direct Denial of Service (DDoS)
•	Long term Search Engine Optimization (SEO) damage; distorting analytical marketing metrics.
•	Diverting customers to purchase products via third party resellers, limiting chances for up-sell and cross sell opportunities. 

This problem is tackled by anti-scrape approaches.  However, current anti-scrape/booking bot solutions are only capable of distinguishing between human traffic and bot traffic through supervised algorithms that do not work to the degree of efficacy required. 


Our proposed solution is BotStop an algorithmic approach to identifying Bots and scrapers and to policing malicious application traffic.  eDNA will provide a solution which reintroduces transparency into the process of purchasing flights and will streamline customer website experience to ensure a more stress-free experience
Impacto económico del tratamiento del cáncer de próstata metastásico y no metastásico en España

Objetivo: Estimar el coste del tratamiento temprano del cáncer de próstata (CP) no metastásico, en comparación con el tratamiento tardío del CP metastásico, desde la perspectiva del Sistema Nacional de Salud (SNS) español. Métodos: Modelo de Markov probabilístico (simulación de Monte Carlo de segundo orden) con cuatro estados de la enfermedad: CP hormonosensible no metastásico (CPHSnm) y metastásico (CPHSm), CP resistente a la castración no metastásico (CPRCnm) y metastásico (CPRCm). Las probabilidades de transición entre los estados se obtuvieron de un registro de pacientes suecos con CP (N=1.869) que analizó el tiempo de permanencia de los pacientes en los diferentes estados, así como el tiempo de supervivencia. El uso de los recursos sanitarios asociados a cada estado (consultas, ingresos, pruebas, monitorización, cirugía, fármacos, quimioterapia) y los costes unitarios (€ 2021) de los recursos, se obtuvieron de fuentes españolas. Resultados: El coste por paciente y año del manejo del CPHSnm [media (8.145€); mínimo-máximo (7.684€ - 8.503€)] es inferior al del CPHSm [media (10.398€); mínimo-máximo (10.063€ - 10.637€)] con una reducción media del coste que ascendería a 2.253€ [mínimo-máximo (2.134€ - 2.378€)]. Del mismo modo, el coste por paciente y año del manejo del CPRCnm [media (9.298€; mínimo-máximo (8.349€ - 9.629€)) es inferior al del CPRCm de [media (11.249€; mínimo-máximo 10.597€ - 11.650€); obteniéndose una reducción media del coste de 2.021€ [mínimo-máximo (1.950; 2.249€)]. Conclusiones: Según el presente modelo, el coste del manejo del CP es inferior en los pacientes sin metástasis, tanto hormonosensibles como resistentes a la castración. Palabras clave: cáncer de próstata resistente a la castración; coste; cáncer de próstata hormonosensible; metastásico; no metastásico.
LEAN REFLUX-HIGH HYDROCARBON RECOVERY PROCESS

A two-tower scheme process for the recovery of propane and heavier components from a hydrocarbon gas stream is provided. Feed gas (12) is cooled (14), partially condensed, and then separated (24) to give a first liquid stream (22) and a first vapor stream (26). First liquid stream is sent to a distillation tower (28) that recovers at the bottoms a major portion of propane and heavier components (54) and produces an overhead gas stream (42). First vapor stream (26) is expanded (30) and sent as bottom feed (34) to the absorber. Absorber produces an absorber overhead stream (16) containing essentially all the ethane and lighter components and an absorber bottoms stream (18). Absorber bottoms stream is heated (14) and sent to the distillation tower (28) as middle feed (52). Absorber overhead stream is warmed (40) and optionally compressed (48, 49). A part of the compressed stream (20) is substantially condensed and sent to absorber as top feed. The process and apparatus can be used to recover ethane and heavier hydrocarbons.
Sittliches Leben als gemeinsame Antwort auf die Aufforderung des Absoluten

Das sittliche Leben des Menschen kann man als eine grundlegende Auslegung seiner Nähe zum göttlichen Leben verstehen, sofern man dieses göttliche Leben als freie ursprüngliche Tätigkeit deutet, die sich ohne Vorbehalt gibt. Diese Thematik hat Fichte in verschiedenen seiner Werke entfaltet; es genügt hier der Hinweis auf die zahlreichen Darstellungen der Wissenschaftslehre, die Anweisung zum seeligen Leben von 1806 und die Sittenlehre von 1812.Eine gewinnbringende Interpretation der transzendental-praktischen Philosophie kann damit beginnen, als einen zentralen Punkt des Fichteschen Systems die Erkenntnis herauszustellen, dass die konkrete Tätigkeit des Ich dank einer Aufforderung in Gang kommt. Fichte führt dies erstmals in der Wissenschaftslehre nova methodo und in der Grundlage des Naturrechts von 1796 aus. Vor allem die Wissenschaftslehre der Jahre 1796 bis 1799, die Fichte in Jena zweimal unter dem Titel "Philosophia transcendentalis nova methodo pertractata" gelesen hat und die heute in der Fichte-Forschung allgemein die Wissenschaftslehre nova methodo genannt wird, konkretisiert das bekanntlich in der Grundlage der gesamten Wissenschaftslehre von 1794/95 eingeführte dritte Prinzip. Dieses schafft die Verbindung zwischen Bestimmbarkeit und Bestimmtheit und bildet die Bedingung der Möglichkeit dafür, dass sich das Ich zu seinen besonderen Pflichten bestimmt, und zwar angesichts eines Nicht-Ich, das durch diese Pflichten bestimmt wird, gemäß der grundlegenden Kategorie der Wechselwirkung.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments of China Sea

Increasing pollution pressures were placed in the coastal and estuarine ecosystems in China because of the elevated pollutants discharged from various sources. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the environment were closely linked to human activities, which have been intensively studied for their geochemical interest as markers. In this review, the status of PAH contamination in China Sea was assessed by comprehensive reviews of the concentrations, sources, and fates of PAHs in sediments of China Sea. PAH concentrations in China Sea sediments decreased from north to south due to the higher emissions in North China. Atmosphere was probably the main carrier of PAHs in the north due to the higher contents of atmospheric fine particles and higher wind speeds. However, riverine inputs were probably the most important sources of PAHs in the coastal sediments of South China due to higher rainfall.
Fault-tolerant carry look-ahead adder architectures robust to multiple simultaneous errors

Abstract Currently, the demand for reliable and high performance computing is increasing due to the enlarging susceptibility of computing circuits to different environmental effects, and the advent of diverse computation-based applications. Arithmetic operators, as the main building blocks of the processing units in computing systems, are exposed to different types of single or multiple errors incurred by different faults which can seriously damage the whole system. In this paper, a new approach is presented to achieve fault-tolerant carry look-ahead adder architectures, much more efficient than the conventional methods, with the characteristic of robustness against multiple simultaneous errors. The proposed method is based on revising the carry generation block to achieve multiple error correction capability, and utilizing a modified parity prediction-based method that in combination with the proposed error correction scheme leads to multiple error detection capability. Verified by simulations, analytical assessments show that, as well as correcting or detecting all single permanent or transient errors, multiple simultaneous errors in the new carry look-ahead adders are corrected or at least detected with a high probability independent of the number of errors. Apart from having more reliability against multiple errors, these adders require lower area overheads compared to the state of the art designs as well as conventional fault-tolerant methods.
Log correlations and random matrices

Random Matrix Theory has been of central importance in Mathematical Physics for over 50 years. It has deep connections with many other areas of Mathematics and a remarkably wide range of applications.  In 2012, a new avenue of research was initiated linking Random Matrix Theory to the highly active area of Probability Theory concerned with the extreme values of logarithmically correlated Gaussian fields, such as the branching random walk and the two-dimensional Gaussian Free Field. This connects the extreme value statistics of the characteristic polynomials of random matrices asymptotically to those of the Gaussian fields in question, allowing some important and long-standing open questions to be addressed for the first time. It has led to a flurry of activity and significant progress towards proving some of the main conjectures. A remarkable discovery has been that the characteristic polynomials of random matrices exhibit, asymptotically, a hierarchical branching/tree structure like that of the branching random walk.  However, many of the most important questions remain open. My aim is to attack some of these problems using ideas and techniques that have so far not been applied to them: I believe it is possible to compute some important statistical quantities relating to the extreme values of characteristic polynomials exactly, for the first time, by establishing connections with integrable systems, representation theory, and enumerative combinatorics.  Such connections have not previously been explored.  I anticipate that this will have a significant impact on an area that is currently in a rapid phase of development and that it will settle some of the principal unresolved conjectures. I further believe that ideas exploiting the hierarchical branching structure may have new and unexpected implications for areas connected with Random Matrix Theory, including, in particular, Number Theory, and I plan to explore these too.

The Blue Frontier: Maritime Vision and Power in the Qing Empire

In this revisionist history of the eighteenth-century Qing Empire from a maritime perspective, Ronald C. Po argues that it is reductive to view China over this period exclusively as a continental power with little interest in the sea. With a coastline of almost 14,500 kilometers, the Qing was not a landlocked state. Although it came to be known as an inward-looking empire, Po suggests that the Qing was integrated into the maritime world through its naval development and customs institutionalization. In contrast to our orthodox perception, the Manchu court, in fact, deliberately engaged with the ocean politically, militarily, and even conceptually. The Blue Frontier offers a much broader picture of the Qing as an Asian giant responding flexibly to challenges and extensive interaction on all frontiers - both land and sea - in the long eighteenth century.
Titles of the new testament: a new approach to manuscripts and the history of interpretation

The problem this project addresses is that operative modes for interpreting the Greek New Testament (NT) rely upon critical editions, not manuscripts. NT editions are scholarly abstractions that focus on reconstructing an “original” text, and that fail to account for a rich manuscript tradition that preserves evidence for key disciplinary questions. Instead of asking how manuscripts help reconstruct a text, this project examines what manuscripts say about the ways the NT was interpreted by the communities that produced them. This is accomplished by comprehensively analysing the forms and wordings of the title preserved in all non-lectionary NT manuscripts (c. 3500). Titles are malleable paratexts that provide a substantive vector to rethink approaches to the NT by seriously considering contexts of production and interpretation ranging from 2rd century Egypt to modern Mt. Athos, moving beyond the 1st century Roman world. Titles demonstrate that material and paratextual variance in form and design are constitutive aspects of the NT. Adopting New Philology as a methodology, the project critiques dominant approaches by taking each manuscript seriously as evidence for specific reading events, using titles as primary evidence. Titular analysis informs a range of topics, including authorship, locales of production, contexts of use, bibliography, and literary interpretation. The NT is best understood as an omnibus of manuscripts that constitute specific reading events, reflecting the interpretations of the communities that used them. The NT has never been a single reconstructed text, but a collection of texts in specific material and paratextual contexts. Despite the value inherent in the manuscripts, scholarship has focused almost exclusively on the NT’s original context of composition. Resisting this trend, the project argues that titles are a rich resource for mapping the interpretation of the NT in contexts overlooked by critical scholarship: its own manuscript matrix.
A Literature Review of the Use of Sodium Bicarbonate for the Treatment of QRS Widening

Sodium bicarbonate is a well-known antidote for tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) poisoning. It has been used for over half a century to treat toxin-induced sodium channel blockade as evidenced by QRS widening on the electrocardiogram (ECG). The purpose of this review is to describe the literature regarding electrophysiological mechanisms and clinical use of this antidote after poisoning by tricyclic antidepressants and other agents. This article will also address the literature supporting an increased serum sodium concentration, alkalemia, or the combination of both as the responsible mechanism(s) for sodium bicarbonate's antidotal properties. While sodium bicarbonate has been used as a treatment for cardiac sodium channel blockade for multiple other agents including citalopram, cocaine, flecainide, diphenhydramine, propoxyphene, and lamotrigine, it has uncertain efficacy with bupropion, propranolol, and taxine-containing plants.
5G applications and devices benchmarking

The focus of TRIANGLE is the development of a framework that facilitates the evaluation of the QoE of new mobile applications, services and devices designed to operate in the future 5G mobile broadband networks. The framework will exploit existing FIRE facilities adding new facilities when necessary.
The project will identify reference deployment scenarios, will define new KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and QoE metrics, will develop new testing methodologies and tools, and will design a complete evaluation scheme. The project will focus on the development of a framework to ensure user QoE in the new challenging situations, especially those due to heterogeneous networks and considering the role software will have in the new 5G ecosystem 
The framework as value added will also provide the means to allow certification and quality mark for the applications, services and devices compliant to the requirements and test specifications developed in the project but also extensible to other FIRE test solutions. This will allow vendor differentiation, specially startups and SMEs, in the current globalized and competitive markets and further visibility of FIRE facilities.
The framework, methods and tools developed during the project will focus on providing the mechanisms to incorporate new wireless technologies and topologies envisaged in 5G and contribute to the new ecosystem.
Renovation for Energy efficient BUildingS

If EU energy efficiency targets are to be met, concrete and widespread policy level improvements are needed in European regions. Buildings are among the main sectors identified as being responsible for Europe’s emissions, so policy actions must start there.
To face this challenge, REBUS brings together 8 partners from 8 countries (7 addressing a policy instrument and 1 Advisory), who share the same need for improvements in policy to promote energy efficiency in public buildings.
The overall objective of the REBUS project is to improve the capacity of public authorities in European regions to undertake efficient renovation works of their public building stock, thus saving energy and public resources.
The huge potential for energy savings in the public building stock is hampered in each phase of the local authority energy renovation process: planning, implementing and monitoring. These problems all stem from a basic need in public authorities: to raise awareness and build skills on energy related issues among civil servants.
REBUS uses interregional exchange among regions with a varied level of development on this issue, together with communication and engagement activities to develop Action Plans resulting in:
- Improved policy instruments (6 ERDF ROPs, 1 Environmental Programme)
- Improved skills at individual, organisational and regional level
- Involvement and engagement of stakeholder to create a system, in which improved approaches are understood, supported and disseminated.
REBUS assists the public sector and contributes to EU policies on energy efficiency by providing means and instruments to design an Energy Renovation Path for public buildings grouping Good Practices identified, analysed and exchanged by partners.
Thanks to the REBUS communication strategy, EU Public authorities, who share the common problem behind implementation of EU legislation on energy efficiency, benefit from the project approach to improve their energy policy content and management.

Effective policies for durable and self-sustainable projects in the cultural heritage sector

Sustaining the effects of investments remains one of the most burning problems in the management of cultural heritage. Many cultural institutions have difficulties to cover even basic maintenance costs. This issue is of great importance to the whole EU area, where recent economic downturn put cultural heritage at the bottom of the priority list. According to the EC Sixth Report on economic, social and territorial cohesion stronger emphasis has to be given to sustainability, as an explicit objective of cohesion policy. This shift is also mirrored in the increasing focus on sustainable growth in the Europe 2020 strategy.

The main aim of the KEEP ON project is to improve public policies in the cultural heritage sector in terms of delivering high quality projects that allow results to remain sustainable with reasonable public funding and have long-lasting impact on regional development. Both policy organisations and cultural institutions should plan for sustainability long before the project start date. When the public funding is over, how do institutions sustain their work for the future? How do they get funds for their future functioning? How can public policies support beneficiaries in the self-sustainability of their projects? The KEEP ON project will address these questions from an EU-wide, interregional perspective.

The KEEP ON project brings together partners from Southern Europe countries having extremely rich cultural heritage, but also the most vulnerable economies (ES, PT, IT, GR), accompanied by Poland (largest EU cohesion policy beneficiary), the Netherlands (cultural policy model with high involvement of local communities) and an advisory partner from Croatia. In total 6 policy instruments (3 structural funds programmes, 3 local/regional strategies) will be improved through interregional learning process. The KEEP ON project intends to provide a valuable input to all EU stakeholders with special focus on the forthcoming post-2020 cohesion policy.
System Dynamics Simulation Modelling of Managing a Maritime Shipping Organization

This paper is a result of the research team at the University of Split, Faculty of Maritime Studies in dynamics of conduct maritime transport organizations. Results of the paper are shown in paper [8], and wish of the authors is to present a model to wider audience. What is new in this paper are Subsystem of debts, Subsystem of credits, Subsystem of loans and Subsystem of commercial department. System dynamics simulation modelling is one of the most suitable and most successful scientific methods of modelling of dynamics of complex, non-linear, natural, technical and organizational systems. System dynamics models are basically continuous models, as the subjects are presented by a set of non-linear differential equations, i.e. “equations of state”. However, they are also discrete, as their basic time step, i.e. sampling “DT” is defined in full accordance with the Sampling Theorem (Shannon, Nyquist and Koteljnikov). Such selection of the basic time step of DT enables computer modelling of continuous simulation models in digital computer, which is very suitable for training students at maritime faculty, engineering and electro technical faculties, and for theoretical and practical training of engineers of ship processes, as it enables them, by applying system dynamics approach, to acquire new information and skills about the complex dynamics of performance of maritime systems and processes. In a system dynamics model a shipping company is an integrated part of the surroundings and cannot be observed separately, without mutual interference.
