The augnet platform - using internet protocol as the sms data communication system

Augnet Ltd, founded by ex-Skype Senior Manager Daniel Gill, has developed a revolutionary data communication system to address the current challenges faced by the Application-to-Person (A2P) SMS industry. With a team of industry and technology expertise, Augnet has advanced this patent-pending technology, “Platform,” to an initial prototype, having demonstrated its functionality with one of the world’s largest SMS aggregators.

The current A2P SMS market, valued at €55bn, enables app owners (banks, booking sites, airlines etc.) to communicate with consumers via SMS, with high message volumes handled through aggregators. SMSs are then sent through network operators such as Vodafone. However, there is deep industry distrust between SMS suppliers and operators due to lack of quality assurance, and in particular, growing controversy over ‘killed’ messages; whereby messages are not sent to users to increase operator profit margins.

With the current delivery process unchanged in 20-years, the industry is ripe for innovation that will rebuild trust and improve service provision. The Augnet data communication system bypasses network operators and provides SMS suppliers with an auditable service at significantly reduced price point. Augnet’s Platform is a backend network that requires no end-user interaction, significantly enhancing scalability and integrating with existing infrastructure. A leading SMS traffic aggregator is already secured and advanced discussions with further organisations are set to generate further positive outcomes.

The proposed feasibility study will extensively evaluate technical and commercial elements of the Augnet Platform, determining the probability and requirements for rapid market entry. Outputs will support the next stage of development, leading to full market launch; unlocking the substantial market opportunity that a trustworthy and significantly cheaper alternative to the current outdated and exploitive market provision provides.
Neuron-Based monitoring electrochemical bio-sensor interface system

Reliable, real-time detection systems for in-vivo, continuous monitoring of biological and chemical processes consist a crucial aspect in personalised healthcare. Nevertheless, even nowadays, the medical practice still lacks of systems providing a rapid, reliable and ultra-sensitive sensing in a continuous way. Meanwhile, inflammatory markers consist a pivotal tool in clinical practice since they may be indicators of specific diseases, along with signalising the response of a patient to a specific medical treatment. Nanotechnology-based devices exhibiting memristive electrical properties show great potential for delivering highly scalable, resilient, power efficient and reconfigurable electronic systems. In addition, when those particular nanodevices are subjected to appropriate surface treatments and implemented in the role of bio-inspired sensors, they can bring solutions and introduce novelty to the bio-sensing field regarding highly sensitive and robust detection of biomarkers, while expanding and broadening the research field and applications involving memristive phenomena. In the framework of this fellowship, a flexible, low-cost miniaturised minimally invasive sensing platform will be developed, implementing memristive nanoscale devices as intelligent bio-interfaces, allowing reliable, continuous and real-time monitoring of inflammatory markers. This scheme will be accomplished by the fabrication of a memristor-based sensing platform conjugated with a sensing membrane and an accordingly designed binding assay. Validation of the sensing platform for continuous monitoring will be followed by the integration on flexible substrates for in vivo measurements and integration with readout circuitry enabling the sensing data readout and the wireless transmission to a tablet or smartphone. Finally, the sensing platform will be applied for in-vivo, real-time monitoring, for the detection of inflammatory markers and for indicating the response to an applied treatment.
Differential pulse voltammetric determination of methyl parathion based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes–poly(acrylamide) nanocomposite film modified electrode

A sensitive electrochemical differential pulse voltammetry method was developed for detecting methyl parathion based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes-poly(acrylamide) (MWCNTs-PAAM) nanocomposite film modified glassy carbon electrode. The novel MWCNTs-PAAM nanocomposite, containing high content of amide groups, was synthesized by PAAM polymerizing at the vinyl group functionalized MWCNTs surface using free radical polymerization. The MWCNTs-PAAM nanocomposite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Electrochemical behavior and interference studies of MWCNTs-PAAM/GCE for methyl parathion were investigated. The experimental results demonstrated that the MWCNTs-PAAM/GCE exhibited a high adsorption and strong affinity toward methyl parathion compared with some metal ions and nitroaromatic compounds, which exist in environmental samples. The adsorbed amount of methyl parathion on the MWCNTs-PAAM/GCE approached the equilibrium value upon 5 min adsorption time. A linear calibration curve for methyl parathion was obtained in the concentration range from 5.0×10(-9) to 1.0×10(-5) mol L(-1), with a detection limit of 2.0×10(-9) mol L(-1). The MWCNTs-PAAM/GCE was proved to be a suitable sensing tool for the fast, sensitive and selective determination of methyl parathion in environmental water samples.
Online teaching: A comparison of on-ground, online, & facebook-linked teaching

This paper highlights the importance of using a multidisciplinary approach in online classrooms, and how the use of social media, such as Facebook establishes a learner-centered environment with a clear focus on what is taught, why it is taught, and what competencies are expected. When the learning environment is learner-centered, it enables the educators to recognize the students' preconceptions, the levels of learning, and the rates of progress. An individual's learning is influenced in fundamental ways by the context in which it takes place; thus, the inclusion of research and the advent of online teaching have provided the freedom for learners to engage in whatever they desire by connecting with other learners in real time. The powerful effect of the combination of research and online studies with the latest technological tools, including the use of social media such as Facebook are confirmed through the given results.
La première traduction italienne des Principles of Psychology

Première traduction européenne des Principles of Psychology , celle du psychologue et psychiatre Giulio Cesare Ferrari est aussi la première traduction presque intégrale des deux volumes de l’ouvrage. Elle marque le début d’un travail intense de traduction des œuvres de James en italien, qui ne sera égalé que plusieurs années après en France et en Allemagne. Elle se situait dans un moment culturel très dynamique où le rôle scientifique et culturel de la psychologie et de la philosophie faisait l’objet de grands débats en Italie. Le cadre théorique et la mentalité « antiscolastique » de la psychologie de James reflétaient une nouvelle perspective naturaliste et une attitude de rupture profonde avec la tradition philosophique et psychologique précédente.
Design and performance prediction of an impedance void meter applied to the petroleum industry

A novel methodology based on numerical simulation is developed for designing a gas?liquid void fraction meter operating on the principle of electrical impedance. The numerical simulations employ software based on the finite volume method. The analysis allowed heuristic optimization of the electrodes? geometry and also the establishment of the calibration curve according to the electrical properties of the fluids in question. Using dimensional analysis it is possible to reduce the electrical impedance estimates into simple algebraic expressions relating the void fraction to the dimensionless voltage output. Dynamic tests are performed using air and water in order to validate the computational study and verify the performance of the sensor operating at different flow patterns.
An analysis of the talent management challenges in a post-communist country: the case of Poland

There is a dearth of empirical studies on talent management (TM) in the emerging markets, and in particular a lack of research on TM in the countries of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region. Our empirical study in 58 organisations in Poland, a major economy in the CEE region, is one of the first studies to examine TM in this context. Our study highlights the particular nature of the TM challenges facing organisations in Poland and shows that there is little evidence to suggest that Polish practice is converging with Western models. Our paper suggests that TM is likely to challenge many traditional management practices and attitudes which continue to dominate Polish culture in the period of transition to a market economy.
Krisis Keuangan Global 2008-2009 dan Implikasinya pada Perekonomian Indonesia

The global financial crisis that occurred in 2008-2009 was the worst financial crisis in 80 years, even the economists in the world called it as the mother of all crises. The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States eventually manifested into a world-wide financial crisis. No single country is free from the effects,  including Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the global financial crisis, the sources of the cause, the mechanisms of the crisis emergence, and to identify the implications of the crisis on financial sector and real sector, as well as employment and poverty. The results showed that the country has a relatively high poverty rate and unemployment rate than it should. If there is no crisis, the level of poverty alleviation and reduction of unemployment should be at a better rate. In addition, it was found that the impact of the global crisis relatively stronger to the rural households than to urban households. Therefore, because the rural labor market is much more flexible than that in urban areas, the impact of global crisis on rural unemployment rates is relatively weaker as well.
A novel verifiable secret sharing mechanism using theory of numbers and a method for sharing secrets

Verifiable secret sharing VSS has been extensively used as a cryptographic tool in many applications of information security in recent years. A VSS enables a dealer to divide a secret s into n shares and allows shareholders to verify whether their shares are generated by the dealer consistently without revealing the secrecy of both shares and the secret. More specifically, shareholders can verify that i the secret can be recovered by any t or more than t shares and ii the secret cannot be obtained by fewer than t shares. Many VSSs are based on polynomial, and only a few of them are based on the Chinese Remainder Theorem CRT. Recently, Harn et al. proposed a CRT-based VSS in which multiple verification secrets are used during the phase of verification. In this paper, we propose a VSS based on Asmuth-Bloom's t, n SS scheme, which depends on the CRT. Our proposed VSS is simpler and more efficient than the scheme of Harn et al. Our proposed VSS is unconditionally secure. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Lag monitoring model for groundwater table around reservoir

Construction of lag monitoring model will help master the change rule of groundwater table around reservoir and ensure production and life safety.In order to describe the change process of groundwater table accurately,the hysteresis effect must be taken into account in monitoring model because the groundwater table lags behind such environmental parameters as water level and precipitation.The standard normal function was put forward to act as the hysteresis function of reservoir level and precipitation in the paper.A monitoring model for groundwater table is formed based on the the hysteresis function.Lastly,the monitoring model was used to analyze the groundwater table around a reservoir.The case study showed that such monitoring model based on hysteresis function not only have the benefit of obtaining the precise delay parameters,but also have higher computational accuracy.
Comprehensive data-driven risk and threat assessment methods for the early and reliable identification, validation and analysis of migration-related risks

EU borders are constantly faced with a multiplicity of challenges, from increased waves of illegal migration to human trafficking, document fraud, terrorism, smuggling, and public health threats. In the CRiTERIA project we will develop a novel risk analysis methodology, which is, on the one hand, clearly rooted and builds upon existing methodology such as CIRAM and, on the other hand introduces novel more complex and effective indicators, which overcome important limitations of existing models. Such extended risk and vulnerability analysis methodology has to be backed by effective intelligent analysis technology. Building upon existing text, media, data and network analysis technology, in CRiTERIA, we will develop and evaluate advanced analysis technologies and tools that are tailored to the new comprehensive threat indicators of the CRiTERIA methodology. Special focus will be put to the consideration of the role of narratives, events, attitudes, and to the vulnerability of borders and humans as well as on providing semi-automatic tools and methods for risk-related evidence validation and explanation, for identifying risk propagation and interlinking, thus supporting decision processes in risk analysis in an innovative way. When developing this holistic CRiTERIA risk and vulnerability analysis framework for border agencies ethical, legal and societal aspects will be considered from the very beginning. 
The methodology will be developed in close collaboration with practitioners from border agencies, which will also validate the developed methods and technologies in piloting activities.

For achieving its goals CRiTERIA brings together an interdisciplinary team of experts including researchers in the fields of security and risk analysis, in the field of data and media analysis and in the field of ethics, law and societal aspects, as well as border agencies, NGOs and companies.

Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test: Translations to the Cox Proportional Hazards Model

Background: The goodness of fit of a statistical model is commonly assessed by describing how well the model fits the observed data. For logistic regression the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test compares the number of expected events from the logistic regression model to the number of observed events within deciles of predicted probabilities. This research evaluates two translations of the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test for logistic regression to the Cox proportional hazards model, the Cook-Ridker (CR) and the D'Agostino-Nam (DAN) tests. These translations are compared to a test which was designed specifically for survival data, the Gronnesby and Borgan (GB) test. The GB test uses martingale residuals to compare the count of events to the semi-parametric estimates from the Cox proportional hazards model on a cumulative hazards scale. In contrast, the CR and DAN translations compare the non-parametric Kaplan-Meier estimate and the semi-parametric Cox proportional hazards estimate of survival at a fixed time. Methods: The sizes of these tests are investigated by simulating survival data and varying the baseline hazard function (exponential, Weibull and log-logistic), effect size, percentage of censoring, sample size, number of groups, and the choice of fixed time point (for the CR and DAN tests). Results: The sizes of the CR and DAN tests are near the nominal level in very few of the simulated scenarios. For most scenarios the CR and DAN tests have a size that is either much larger or much lower than the nominal level. However, when using half the maximum simulated time as the fixed time point the sizes of the CR and DAN test are near or closer to the nominal level in more scenarios compared to when the maximum time point is used. In addition, numerical issues can occur when the estimated survival probability is zero and when the estimated expected number of events is either close to zero or close to one. These results also expand on previous simulation studies showing that the size of the Gronnesby and Borgan test is notably above 0.05 in larger sample sizes (1000 or more). Conclusions: Although the CR and DAN translations of the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test to the Cox proportional hazards regression are conceptually intuitive they appear to have an incorrect size and numerical issues can occur. The Gronnesby and Borgan test should be used instead since it has a more appropriate size when used with the correct number of groups.
Structural investigation into the inhibitory mechanisms of indomethacin and its analogues towards human glyoxalase I

In the present work, a combined study of kinetic analysis, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations on indomethacin and its analogues is performed to better understand their inhibitory mechanisms towards human glyoxalase I (GLOI). A remarkable correlation (R(2)=0.974) was observed for six inhibitors including indomethacin between their experimental inhibitory affinities and predicted binding free energy parameter (ΔG(bind,pred)). This suggests that ΔG(bind,pred) of a GLOI/inhibitor complex can be efficiently used to interpolate the experimental inhibitory affinity of a ligand of similar nature in the GLOI enzyme system. Energetic analyses revealed that electrostatic contribution plays an important role in their inhibitory mechanisms, which reflects the significant contribution of the coordination bond between zinc and ligands. The present work highlights that indomethacin is a promising lead as GLOI inhibitors for further development since it may bind all subsites in the active site pocket of GLOI and stabilize the flexible loop (152-159).

Factors associated with work outcome for survivors from haematological malignancies - a systematic literature review

Recent years have seen a growing number of survivors from haematological malignancies. As biology and treatment for these malignancies differ from other malignancies, we performed a systematic literature review of factors associated with work outcome for these survivors. A systematic literature search was conducted. Eight studies with different methodology and characteristics met the inclusion criteria. Three prospective studies agreed, to a high extent, on their findings, whereas results of five cross-sectional studies collectively were inconclusive. Overall, this review - like reviews on other cancer survivors - found no certain association of single factors with work outcome. However, based on possible explanations of the converging findings, this review pinpointed a number of issues that may inform future studies. The design should preferably be prospective, including comparison with age-paired cancer-free individuals. The role of co-morbidity and of differences between haematological diagnoses ought to be established, and work outcomes must be well defined and recorded with valid methods. To establish cause-effect relations, factors possibly associated to work outcome should be evaluated at an early time point after diagnosis. Such studies would assist identification of individuals at increased risk of encountering work-related problems and would hence help establish knowledge on which rehabilitation measures could rest.
