A lightweight key generation scheme for end-to-end data authentication in Industrial Control Systems
Authors: Genge Béla , Haller Piroska , Duka Adrian-Vasile , Sándor Hunor 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The recent advances in technology had an exceptional impact on the performance optimization and the provisioning of more flexible Industrial Control Systems (ICS). Nevertheless, most ICS communication protocols, as they are currently and widely implemented, are extremely vulnerable to various cyber attacks. This paper proposes a lightweight application-oriented data authentication scheme applicable to existing ICS infrastructures by adopting the characteristics and computational advantages of hash functions and hash chains. Extensive experimental results on a Phoenix Contact industrial controller, which runs the control logic of a real ICS implemented in a Romanian gas transportation network, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and its immediate applicability to existing installations.

Published: June 2019

AbstractA 34-year-old female patient was presented to the general surgery clinic of the hospital complaining of a growing tangible swelling in her neck. In physical examination, the patient had two palpable soft nodules in the left lobe of the thyroid which hadn’t invaded the surrounding tissues. The function of thyroid gland was normal and fine needle aspiration (FNA) result reported it benign. The patient went through a left lobectomy and isthmectomy. The histopathology report concluded a nodular hyperplasia and a Hydatid cyst. After surgery, the patient was examined searching for any other organs cyst, but there were no cystic lesion in the cranial, thoracic and abdominal cavities. Accordingly, the case was a primary thyroid hydatid cyst, which is rare, even in endemic regions like Iran.

Abstract
Five species of benthic marine algae (Phaeophyceae: Lobophora littlerorum; Rhodophyta: Meristotheca cylindrica, Naccaria corymbosa, Xiphosiphonia pinnulata and Dipterosiphonia reversa) represent new distribution records from the coastal waters surrounding Puerto Rico in the northern Caribbean Sea. The latter two species are now reported for the first time from the western Atlantic Caribbean.
Reliable Numerical Solution of a Class of Nonlinear Elliptic Problems Generated by the Poisson–Boltzmann Equation
Authors: Kraus Johannes , Nakov Svetoslav , Repin Sergey I. 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
We consider a class of nonlinear elliptic problems associated with models in biophysics, which are described by the Poisson–Boltzmann equation (PBE).
We prove mathematical correctness of the problem, study a suitable class of approximations, and deduce guaranteed and fully computable bounds of approximation errors.
The latter goal is achieved by means of the approach suggested in [19] for convex variational problems.
Moreover, we establish the error identity, which defines the error measure natural for the considered class of problems and show that it yields computable majorants and minorants of the global error as well as indicators of local errors that provide efficient adaptation of meshes.
Theoretical results are confirmed by a collection of numerical tests that includes problems on 2D and 3D Lipschitz domains.
Development of vegetable oil-based conducting rigid PU foam
Authors: Agrawal Anuja , Kaur Raminder , Walia R.S. 
Published: June 2019

AbstractIn this study, carbon fibre powder has been used as reinforcement to enhance the electrical conductivity of bio-based rigid polyurethane foam. Effect of carbon fibre incorporation on the mechanical, thermal and flame retardant properties has also been investigated. Results concluded that the foams with 8% carbon fibre concentration showed up to 288% increase in compressive strength. Furthermore, up to 28% decrease in the peak of heat release rate (PHRR) was observed on the incorporation of carbon fibre powder. Additionally, the rate of smoke production was also found decreased for carbon fibre reinforced foams. Foams with 8% and 10% carbon fibre concentration show conductivity of 1.9 × 10-4 and 7.1 × 10-4 S/m, respectively. So, carbon fibre powder may be used as a potential filler to enhance the electrical conductivity of rigid foams without compromising the other properties.

Timber species identification from chemical fingerprints using direct analysis in real time (DART) coupled to Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS): comparison of wood samples subjected to different treatments
Authors: Zhang Maomao , Zhao Guangjie , Guo Juan , Wiedenhoeft Alex C. , Liu Charles C. , Yin Yafang 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Timber genus identification based on the anatomical features of wood is well established in botany. However, species-level wood identification is not always possible based on traditional wood morphology techniques alone. To compensate for the deficiencies of traditional methods, direct analysis in real time coupled to Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (DART-FTICR-MS) was used to obtain the mass spectral fingerprints of different timber species. Using heartwood samples of two morphologically similar species, Pterocarpus santalinus and Pterocarpus tinctorius, subjected to different treatments, i.e. solvent extractions and powdered samples as well as air-dried samples and samples dried at low and high temperatures, we observed distinct chemical signatures for the wood samples from the two species, enabling rapid species-level identification when multivariate statistical analysis was adopted. The supervised orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) models for samples subjected to different treatments all exhibited accurate differentiation performance of the explained fraction of variance of classes (R2Y = 0.936–0.987) and the cross-validated fraction of variance of classes (Q2 = 0.857–0.949). Compared with solvent types and the physical form of the sample, the drying treatment method had a greater impact on the chemical fingerprint from DART-FTICR-MS. Air-dried wood chips were the optimal samples for the DART-FTICR-MS method coupled with statistical analysis.
Framing terminology in legal translation
Authors: Faber Pamela , Reimerink Arianne 
Published: June 2019

AbstractLegal language and its translation are considerably more complex than scientific and technical translation because the legal object is a text that performs an action. For this reason it is not only necessary to consider the legal terminology but also the structure of the text itself as well as the verbs used and their performative act. In this paper, we explore how the analysis of terminological meaning in legal texts can be addressed from the perspective of Frame-Based Terminology (FBT), a cognitive approach to domain-specific language, which directly links specialized knowledge representation to cognitive linguistics and cognitive semantics. In a case study on international agreements in the context of environmental law, we analyze the argument structure of verbs as well as the conceptual categories of their semantic arguments providing insights into the semantic profile of this text type. The representation of the verb class and its semantic arguments can be considered a type of interlingua that could be used as a basis for translation.

Authors: Aksoy Esin , Bekir Ahmet , Çevikel Adem C 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
In this work, the Kudryashov method is handled to find exact solutions of nonlinear fractional partial differential equations in the sense of the modified Riemann–Liouville derivative as given by Guy Jumarie. Firstly, these fractional equations can be turned into another nonlinear ordinary differential equations by fractional complex transformation. Then, the method is applied to solve the space-time fractional Symmetric Regularized Long Wave equation and the space-time fractional generalized Hirota–Satsuma coupled KdV equation. The obtained solutions include generalized hyperbolic functions solutions.
Society and Civil War in Africa During the Tetrarchy: The Rebellion of Lucius Domitius Alexander (308–310 CE)
Authors: Cases Laurent J. 
Published: June 2019

AbstractIn the year 308 CE, the African army raised to the purple theagens vices praefectorum praetorioLucius Domitius Alexander. This rather unique case of avicariusbecoming emperor is deserving of investigation. Scholarly interest on the matter has traditionally focused on the broader political significance, treating Alexander as a traditional usurper. This paper argues that, contrary to traditional studies, the regime of Alexander focused on very local, African tropes. The uniqueness of the advertisement suggests that this African usurpation was the product of discontent internal to Africa; in other words, it is a departure from the usurpations of the third century. The achievements of Diocletian, who supposedly stabilized the Empire, ended when he withdrew, and the rebellion of 308–310 demonstrates that there remained unaddressed tensions between the provinces and the remaining tetrarchs.
Becoming Empire: Neo-Assyrian palaces and the creation of courtly culture
Authors: Groß Melanie , Kertai David 
Published: June 2019

AbstractAssyria (911–612 BCE) can be described as the founder of the imperial model of kingship in the ancient Near East. The Assyrian court itself, however, remains poorly understood. Scholarship has treated the court as a disembodied, textual entity, separated from the physical spaces it occupied – namely, the palaces. At the same time, architectural analyses have examined the physical structures of the Assyrian palaces, without consideration for how these structures were connected to people’s lives and works. The palaces are often described as secluded, inaccessible locations. This study presents the first model of the Assyrian court contextualized in its actual palaces. It provides a nuanced model highlighting how the court organized the immense flow of information, people and goods entering the palace as a result of the empire’s increased size and complexity. It argues that access to the king was regulated by three gates of control which were manned by specific types of personnel and a more situational organization that moved within the physical spaces of the palace and was contingent on the king’s activity.
An open-label randomized pragmatic non-inferiority pilot trial to compare the effectiveness of Dysentery compound with individualized homeopathic medicines in irritable bowel syndrome
Authors: Nahar Laijun , Paul Swapan , Chattopadhyay Abhijit , Koley Munmun , Saha Subhranil 
Published: June 2019

Abstract

Background
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a prevalent gastro-intestinal disorder characterized by recurrent abdominal pain, bloating, altered bowel function and myriad of gastro-intestinal symptoms. Dysentery compound (DC), a ‘bowel nosode’, is one of the homeopathic medicines to treat IBS, but remained under-researched. We hypothesized that DC would be non-inferior to individualized homeopathy (IH) in treatment of IBS.

Method
An open, randomized (1:1), parallel arms, pragmatic, non-inferiority, pilot trial was conducted to compare the effectiveness of DC with IH medicines in 60 IBS patients. IBS Quality of Life (IBS-QOL) questionnaire was used as the outcome measure; assessed at baseline and after 3 months. Comparative analysis was carried out on the primary outcome to detect non-inferiority by one-tailed t test at alpha=5% with a prefixed margin (Δ) of 1.0 based on assumption.

Results
Six subjects dropped out. Groups were comparable at baseline (all p>0.01). Though intra-group changes were higher favoring IH over DC, group differences were statistically non-significant (all p>0.01). Non-inferiority was not demonstrated by DC against IH over 3 months (mean difference= −3.3, SE=5.2, lower 95% confidence limit −11.9, t= −0.453, p=0.674). No adverse events were reported from either group.

Conclusion
Non-inferiority of DC against IH in treatment of IBS was not demonstrated though it appeared as safe; still, being a pilot trial, no definite conclusion could be drawn. Further exploration of both efficacy and effectiveness of either of the therapies is necessary by adequately powered trials and independent replications.

Authors: Saad-Hussein Amal , Moubarz Gehan , Mohgah Sh. Abdalla , Wafaa Gh. Shousha , Aya H. Mohamed 
Published: June 2019

Abstract

Background
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is classified as a Group I carcinogen. A Previous study found that oxidative stress from the metabolism of AFB1 induced hepatotoxic effects in wheat miller workers. Zinc and vitamin C may play a significant role in the activation of detoxification and overcoming the oxidative stress of AFB1.

Objectives
A prospective clinical trial was designed to evaluate the role of zinc and vitamin C oral supplementation on the oxidant-antioxidant status and the hepatotoxic effects of AFB1 in wheat miller workers.

Methods
Liver enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP, and GGT), P53 protein, malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione S transferase (GST), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), zinc and vitamin C were estimated in 35 wheat miller workers before and after zinc and vitamin C supplementation for 1 month.

Results
The results revealed that zinc and vitamin C were significantly increased after the one-month supplementation, while liver enzymes (AST, ALP, and GGT), MDA, and GST of the workers were significantly decreased. SOD and P53 were also decreased but not to a significant level; SOD was decreased in 56% and P53 was decreased in 58% of the total workers.

Conclusions
Zinc and vitamin C oral supplementation for 1 month had an ameliorative effect on the hepatotoxicity of AFB1 in wheat miller workers, through decreasing MDA, SOD, and GST levels that in turn led to an improvement in their liver enzymes. Further study on a larger scale is needed to confirm these results.
Opposition Intensity-Based Cuckoo Search Algorithm for Data Privacy Preservation
Authors: Shailaja G.K. , Rao C.V. Guru 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Privacy-preserving data mining (PPDM) is a novel approach that has emerged in the market to take care of privacy issues. The intention of PPDM is to build up data-mining techniques without raising the risk of mishandling of the data exploited to generate those schemes. The conventional works include numerous techniques, most of which employ some form of transformation on the original data to guarantee privacy preservation. However, these schemes are quite multifaceted and memory intensive, thus leading to restricted exploitation of these methods. Hence, this paper intends to develop a novel PPDM technique, which involves two phases, namely, data sanitization and data restoration. Initially, the association rules are extracted from the database before proceeding with the two phases. In both the sanitization and restoration processes, key extraction plays a major role, which is selected optimally using Opposition Intensity-based Cuckoo Search Algorithm, which is the modified format of Cuckoo Search Algorithm. Here, four research issues, such as hiding failure rate, information preservation rate, and false rule generation, and degree of modification are minimized using the adopted sanitization and restoration processes.
M-HMOGA: A New Multi-Objective Feature Selection Algorithm for Handwritten Numeral Classification
Authors: Guha Ritam , Ghosh Manosij , Singh Pawan Kumar , Sarkar Ram , Nasipuri Mita 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The feature selection process is very important in the field of pattern recognition, which selects the informative features so as to reduce the curse of dimensionality, thus improving the overall classification accuracy. In this paper, a new feature selection approach named Memory-Based Histogram-Oriented Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (M-HMOGA) is introduced to identify the informative feature subset to be used for a pattern classification problem. The proposed M-HMOGA approach is applied to two recently used feature sets, namely Mojette transform and Regional Weighted Run Length features. The experimentations are carried out on Bangla, Devanagari, and Roman numeral datasets, which are the three most popular scripts used in the Indian subcontinent. In-house Bangla and Devanagari script datasets and Competition on Handwritten Digit Recognition (HDRC) 2013 Roman numeral dataset are used for evaluating our model. Moreover, as proof of robustness, we have applied an innovative approach of using different datasets for training and testing. We have used in-house Bangla and Devanagari script datasets for training the model, and the trained model is then tested on Indian Statistical Institute numeral datasets. For Roman numerals, we have used the HDRC 2013 dataset for training and the Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology dataset for testing. Comparison of the results obtained by the proposed model with existing HMOGA and MOGA techniques clearly indicates the superiority of M-HMOGA over both of its ancestors. Moreover, use of K-nearest neighbor as well as multi-layer perceptron as classifiers speaks for the classifier-independent nature of M-HMOGA. The proposed M-HMOGA model uses only about 45–50% of the total feature set in order to achieve around 1% increase when the same datasets are partitioned for training-testing and a 2–3% increase in the classification ability while using only 35–45% features when different datasets are used for training-testing with respect to the situation when all the features are used for classification.

Published: June 2019

Abstract

Background
The clinical phenotypes of carnitine palmitoyltransferase type-2 deficiency (CPT2D) are classified into lethal neonatal, severe infantile and muscle forms. The rarest form is the lethal neonatal form.

Case presentation
The patient was hypotonic and bradycardic at admission. Blood urea nitrogen and creatinine were high. He had polycystic kidneys, patent foramen ovale and aortic valve insufficiency. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed increased signal intensities in the periventricular white matter. Tandem mass spectrometry (MS) analysis was compatible with CPT2D. We found a homozygous in-frame deletion in the CPT2 gene using next-generation sequencing.

Conclusions
We identified a novel mutation leading to the lethal form of CPT2D with polycystic kidney, cardiac malformation and cranial MRI findings. Our findings expand the spectrum of causative mutations and clinical findings in CPT2D.
Erard Harps in the Collection of the Czech Museum of Music
Authors: Kotašová Daniela 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The present harp collection of the National Museum – Czech Museum of Music contains Erard pedal harps from various periods of that famed Parisian company’s activity. In creating musical instruments, Sébastian Erard built upon the work of G. Cousineau and C. Groll and became the most successful manufacturer of double-action pedal harps with a fourchette (fork) mechanism (mécanique à fourchettes et à double mouvement). Erard’s work as an instrument maker influenced not only the historical development of the harp, but also the work of other instrument makers. In Bohemia, the Czech harp maker Alois Červenka (1858–1938) built upon Erard’s work with great success. The Erard harps in the collection of the Czech Museum of Music document the Czech socio-cultural context in which the harps of the French instrument maker were used from the late nineteenth century until the middle of the twentieth.

Authors: Mills Jordan , Level Gaelle , Mangwandi Chirangano , Blesic Marijana 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The manuscript reports on a new class of aqueous biphasic systems (ABSs) formed in mixtures of inorganic salts (ISs) and zwitterionic salts (ZWSs). Aqueous ternary phase diagrams characterized by a binodal curve were determined for systems consisting of four ISs, K3PO4, K2HPO4, K2HPO4/KH2PO4, and K2CO3, and three structurally similar ZWSs differing in hydrophobicity. Comparison of phase behaviour of ABSs composed of ZWSs, ionic liquids (ILs) and zwitterions was provided. Potential of ZWSs based systems for extraction of aromatic molecules and amino acids, such as glycine, L-tryptophan, DL-phenylalanine, eugenol, and phenol was examined. Feasibility and limitations of isolation of products after partition and recovery of ZWS were discussed.
