A Review of Assured Data Deletion Mechanism in Cloud Computing
Authors: Ahmad Sultan , Mohammad Mazhar Afza Dr. 
Published: November 2018

As Cloud Computing has become a new way to store information remotely. It makes possible for many companies to become paperless. IT people and companies can outsource their huge data by using this emerging technology. The major important characteristics of cloud computing are on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity and measured services. These cloud computing characteristics are helpful for organizations to become agile. Also there are few serious problems like security, scalability, availability and interoperability which are associated with the above cloud computing characteristics. Providing a secure and efficient access and retrieval of the valuable data is a main concern of cloud computing technologies. It is very important to protect data and credentials of cloud client on the internet. Apart from these security issues of data, the deletion of data on cloud storage is also a very serious issue nowadays. Once a cloud user wants to delete his data, it must be sure that data actually deleted from all cloud storage sources and there should not be remain any copy of data exist at anywhere in cloud storage anyway. In this paper, different existing data deletion and retrieval methods are studied, observed and analyzed. The importance and related challenges to assured data deletion on the cloud storage are explored.
ASPEK KEADILAN DALAM KONTRAK BISNIS DI INDONESIA (Kajian pada Perjanjian Waralaba )
Authors: Priyono Ery Agus 
Published: November 2018

Perjanjian, esensinya adalah kesepakatan, disifati dengan bertemunya kehendak (meeting of mind, mutual assent ) para pihak untuk mencapai suatu tujuan yang telah disepakati guna memberikan kemanfaatan semaksimal mungkin bagi para pihak. Perjanjian layaknya sebuah dokumen hukum sudah sepantasnya memenuhi minimal tiga unsur sebagaimana dikatakan oleh Gustav Radbruch, yakni keadilan, kemanfaatan dan kepastian hukum, akan tetapi faktanya aspek kepastian hukum (dhi asas Pacta Sunservanda) paling menonjol bahkan kadang mengabaikan keadilan.Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap mengapa hal tersebut terjadi, apa sebabnya dan bagaiamana solusinya.Pendekatan penelitian normatif filosofis digunakan untuk menganalisis dokumen kontrak mengacu pada peraturan yang terkait dan asas asas perjanjian. Sebagai kesimpulan tidak tercapainya keadilan bagi para pihak khususnya penerima waralaba, dikarenakan posisi tawar pemberi waralaba (franchisor) yang sangat kuat, tidak seimbang jika dibandingkan dengan posisi tawar penerima waralaba (franchisee) yang lemah. Hal ini berimbas pada isi kontrak yang sepenuhnya dibuat oleh pemberi waralaba (franchisor), yang tentunya cenderung memberikan manfaat sebesarbesarnya bagi pemberi waralaba (franchisor).

Reassessing Accountability and Sophistication of Insured in Insurance Misrepresentation: Lessons and Implications for Taiwan
Authors: Chen Chun-Yuan 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This paper argues that the “necessity of protection” should be seriously considered when evaluating the effect of misrepresentation, but a substantial criterion or a formal standard with rebuttable and substantial exception is recommended. The weakness of insured is a key characteristic in insurance law. This feature leads to the typical idea that the insured should deserve more protection in insurance contract. However, the necessity of protection may vary in different types of insurance and occasions. Thus, many jurisdictions use consumer or business insurance, sophisticated or unsophisticated insured and similar standard to differentiate the levels of protection for insured. For misrepresentation, one of the most important issue in insurance law, many jurisdictions also use this criterion in designing misrepresentation’s elements and consequences. This paper aims to find justification for this standard theoretically and empirically for Taiwan. The paper starts with the general discussion for distinguishing consumer insurance and business insurance. Then, the focus will be moved on to misrepresentation, especially about the distinction between consumer insurance and business insurance, and its effect on misrepresentation’s elements and consequences. Afterwards, this paper argues the inefficiency of the bright-rule for evaluating the necessity of protection and the distinction between business insurance and consumer insurance. Empirical evidence is also provided to assess the effects of elements in Taiwan. Finally, the study proposes that a substantial criterion or a bright-line rule which can be rebutted by substantial evidence may be a more proper and efficient model.
Aristotle’s Infallible Perception
Authors: Koons Benjamin Robert 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
In the De Anima, Aristotle claims that the five senses are infallible about their proper objects. I contend that this claim means that sight is infallible about its proper object in its most specific form, i. e. sight is infallible about red or green and not merely about color in general. This robust claim is justified by Aristotle’s teleological principle that nature does nothing in vain. Additionally, drawing on Aristotle’s comparison of perception and one’s understanding of the essences, I defend a conception of the senses in which the structure of their contents is simple rather than predicative and show how this coheres better with the rest of my interpretation.
Endogenous Markup, Per Capita Income and Population Size in the Gravity Equation
Authors: Suwanprasert Wisarut 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
While recent studies use asymmetric trade costs and non-homothetic preference to explain why trade grows strongly with income per capita, this paper proposes a new explanation using a random search framework based on Burdett and Judd (1983). I show that the values of international trade flows as a share of income are generally larger in high-income countries because the markups in high-income countries are generally larger than those in low-income countries. In addition, firms’ price setting strategy creates an endogenous wedge between bilateral trade flow and gains from trade.
Microbial indicators and environmental relationships in the Umhlangane River, Durban, South Africa
Authors: Marie Veronna , Lin Johnson 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThe use of rivers for recreational and domestic practices makes it imperative to scrutinize the water quality circulating within surrounding communities. The complexity of biological, physical and chemical constituents in water is constantly evolving. This study evaluated various microbial and physico-chemical parameters in a polluted river system over a 12-month period. Apart from an increase in chemical pollutants, elevated levels of E. coli, total (TC) and faecal (FC) coliforms, and Shigella species could be attributed to faecal contamination entering the catchment. Canonical correspondence analysis revealed a strong relationship between FC, TC and temperature whereas moderate interactions was seen between total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, TC and FC populations. Furthermore, close relationships between the bacterial and phage communities were also observed. The complex interactions of these physico-chemical and microbial indicators could be due to anthropogenic activities, changing climatic conditions and the excreta of infected and non-infected individuals entering the river. Assessing the complexity of aquatic ecosystems can aid in the development of novel, customizable, inexpensive water purification tools.

Authors: Xi Li-Cheng , Li Hong-Yu , Yin Dong 
Published: November 2018

AbstractBackgroundHuman bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are of great significance for bone regeneration and bone formation. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may be involved in modulating cell differentiation. This study aimed to investigate the role of lncR-2271 in promoting osteogenic differentiation in human BMSCs.MethodsHuman BMSCs were infected using lncR-2271 overexpression (group A) with lentiviral system or transfected with lncR-2271 siRNA (group B). Cells transfected with scrambled plasmids were used as a negative control (group C). Osteogenesis markers were evaluated using alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, RUNX2 and osterix (OSX) at protein levels and calcification by Alizarin Red staining.ResultsBMSCs from group A showed significantly higher ALP activity compared to BMSCs in group B and control group (group C) at both days 7 and 14 following osteogenic induction; ALP activity was significantly lower in the group B compared to the group C. RUNX2 and OSX protein expressions were significantly higher in group A and significantly lower in group B, compared to those in group C, respectively. At day 21, calcification in human BMSCs in group A was significantly higher compared to groups B and C as shown by Alizarin Red staining; calcification was significantly lower in group B compared to group C.ConclusionOur data suggested lncR-2271 played a role in promoting osteogenic differentiation in human BMSCs. This study is the first to illustrate the important role of lncR-2271 in bone formation.
Development of a 4 stroke spark ignition opposed piston engine
Authors: Gregório Jorge P. , Brójo Francisco M. 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
The purpose of this project was to develop a low-cost OP engine, 4-stroke, gasoline by joining two single-cylinder reciprocating internal combustion engines with side valves on the block, removing the heads. The chosed engine was Model EY15 of Robin America. Joining these two engine blocks together made possible to build an opposed-piston engine (OPE) with two crankshafts. In this new engine, the combustion chamber is confined to the space inside the cylinder between the piston heads and the chamber between the valves. The pistons move in the cylinder axis in opposite directions, a feature typical of opposed-piston engines. After building the engine, parameters characteristic of the OPE, such as: rotational speed, torque, fuel consumption and emissions, were measured on an Eddy currents dynamometer. With the collected data, power, specific consumption and overall efficiency were calculated, allowing to conclude that the motor with the opposed-piston configuration is less expensive and is more powerful. The development of the opposed-piston engine in this project has shown that it is feasible to build one engine from a different one already in use, reducing the manufacturing and development costs. In addition, higher power can be obtained with better specific fuel consumption and less vibration.
Modeling Long Open-Air Electric Arcs
Authors: Miguel Pablo Mourente 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This article presents a model of Sparking Gap to be used in the Alternative Transients Program (ATP). The model includes the simulation of breakdown and a representation of the electric arc. The arc will be non-constrained and burn in air at atmospheric pressure, thus a discussion of the model and parameters to be used is presented. The effect of the arc on the interruption of current will be studied. Examples of power arc interruption following an impulse impact on a 230 kV transmission line are presented. The effects of interphase capacitive coupling and line length are discussed, in order to establish guidelines to allow successful reclosing operations.
Research on Induced Voltage and Current for Hybrid Transmission System Composed of GIL and Overhead Line
Authors: Wenjia Xu , Zutao Xiang , Qiyan Ma 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Gas insulated metal-enclosed transmission line (GIL) is a substitute for overhead line, which is used for power transmitting in complicated geographical or geological environment In order to satisfying the requirements of operation in maintained state, each side of GIL needs to be installed a grounding switch. For the hybrid transmission system composed of GIL and double-circuit overhead line, the whole overhead line will be divided into incomplete transposed/non-transposed parts due to connection of GIL. When one of the grounding switches of GIL closes, it can lead to much greater induced current in each grounding switch. The induced voltage and current for hybrid transmission system will also change because of different parameters between GIL and overhead line. Calculation methods of induced voltage and current for hybrid transmission system with GIL are presented in this paper. Then, calculation conditions for hybrid transmission system are analyzed based on these evidences. Su-Tong GIL pipe gallery project is taken as an example for simulation in ATP/EMTP. Compared with traditional transmission system with overhead line, much higher performance requirements for grounding switches of Su-Tong GIL pipe gallery project are necessary, especially for induced current.
Effects of acupuncture on chronic idiopathic pruritus: an uncontrolled pilot study evaluating inflammatory changes with treatment
Authors: Manway Mitchell , Blackburn Stephanie , Barr Jason , Hull Elizabeth , Averitte Richard , Ahn Yang 
Published: November 2018

Abstract

Background
Conduct a pilot study addressing the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic idiopathic pruritus to aid in the design of a larger clinical trial. Routine laboratory tests to assess systemic inflammation in addition to subjective patient surveys were performed provide documentation of efficacy of treatment.

Methods
Patients with chronic pruritus who did not respond to standard treatment were recruited to participate. After exclusion of systemic or known reversible causes, each patient received up to 10 treatments which were performed approximately one week apart. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured before and after a series of acupuncture treatments to evaluate levels of inflammation and pre- and post-treatment surveys were conducted to evaluate levels of perceived itch.

Results
Only one of the ten patients in this study possessed an elevation of ESR before treatment. This patient's ESR value returned to normal range after treatment and this participant reported subjective relief of her pruritus.

Conclusions
Future studies on the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic idiopathic pruritus should focus on those patients with measurable levels of inflammation at the initiation of the study or utilize alternative and more comprehensive values to monitor disease response.
Residual-based a posteriori error estimation for hp-adaptive finite element methods for the Stokes equations
Authors: Ghesmati Arezou , Bangerth Wolfgang , Turcksin Bruno 
Published: November 2018

AbstractWe derive a residual-based a posteriori error estimator for the conforminghp-Adaptive Finite Element Method (hp-AFEM) for the steady state Stokes problem describing the slow motion of an incompressible fluid. This error estimator is obtained by extending the idea of a posteriori error estimation for the classicalh-version of AFEM. We also establish the reliability and efficiency of the error estimator. The proofs are based on the well-known Clément-type interpolation operator introduced in [27] in the context of thehp-AFEM. Numerical experiments show the performance of an adaptivehp-FEM algorithm using the proposed a posteriori error estimator.
Grammaticalization of subject agreement on evidence from Italo–Romance
Authors: Bentley Delia 
Published: November 2018

AbstractIn this paper we consider the grammaticalization of subject agreement adducing first-hand synchronic evidence from presentational VS constructions in Italo-Romance dialects. While the existing literature has placed emphasis on the pragmatic properties of the controller, we explore its semantic properties. We argue that variation in subject agreement can only be fully captured with reference to an independently established semantic scale of subjecthood that is based on the position of arguments in semantic representation, and hence on their lexical entailments.Unaffected actoris the default controller in accusative alignment. The patterns of dialect microvariation arise, in our analysis, from variation in macrorole assignment in presentational focus. Our proposal formalizes at the discourse-semantics-syntax interface the idea that, in presentational VS constructions, the core argument S may be treated as part of the predicate, thus failing to control grammatical subject agreement. This happens in presentational focus because the predication is about an implicit topic. The latter can trigger a type of pronominal agreement that is comparable to Bresnan and Mchombo’s (Bresnan, Joan & Sam A. Mchombo. 1987. Topic, pronoun and agreement in Chichewa.Language63. 741–782) anaphoric agreement. This study provides robust arguments in support of an understanding of subject agreement as the grammaticalization of semantic-relation contrasts, as well as pragmatic-role distinctions.
Frequency and serial order
Authors: Berg Thomas 
Published: November 2018

AbstractPrevious work on frequency has in the main focused on paradigmatic aspects such as irregularity and allomorphy. This study, in contrast, addresses the syntagmatic dimension and in particular examines the effect of token frequency on serial order. A simple prediction follows from the psycholinguistic observation that frequency facilitates the retrieval of linguistic units: frequent units should precede infrequent ones rather than vice versa in the linear representation of speech. This prediction is tested on a total of fourteen phenomena from various languages and found to receive wide support in the domain of word order. However, it exerts only a sporadic influence on morpheme order and apparently no influence on phoneme order. Frequency is argued to be a cost-free, explanatory and pervasive, albeit a relatively weak factor. It is most likely to manifest itself in areas where alternative ordering options are available which are also semantically similar. Frequency may accompany linguistic change through its various stages.
On the phonemic status of nasalized /h̃/ in Modern Zuberoan Basque
Authors: Egurtzegi Ander 
Published: November 2018

AbstractModern eastern Basque dialects have several conservative features, including the maintenance of historical /h/, which is lost in other dialects. Zuberoan, the easternmost dialect of Basque still spoken today, shows both this /h/ as well as a phonetically nasalized segment [h̃] which is a reflex of intervocalic *n. In this paper I argue that these two segments contrast in Zuberoan. Evidence for the contrast comes from both a newly described process of assimilation of /h/ to /h̃/ in nasal environments which then serves as a basis of the analogical extension of the nasalized aspirate in a context where it cannot be phonologically derived, and from neighboring Mixean Low Navarrese where the nasalized [h̃] has no other obvious source. Since a contrast between oral and nasalized aspirates is rare crosslinguistically, the Zuberoan and Mixean sound patterns discussed here should be of interest to typologists and phonologists alike.
Coordinating nominal compounds: Universal vs. areal tendencies
Authors: Arcodia Giorgio Francesco 
Published: November 2018

AbstractCoordinating compounds, i.e. complex word forms in which the constituent lexemes are in a coordination relation, may be divided into two classes: hyperonymic, in which the referent of the whole compound is the “sum” of the meanings of the constituent lexemes (Korowaiyumdefól‘(her) husband-wife, couple’; van Enk, Gerrit J., & Lourens de Vries. 1997.The Korowai of Irian Jaya: Their language in its cultural context. Oxford: Oxford University Press: 66), and hyponymic, where the compound designates a single referent having features of all the constituents (Englishactor-director). It has been proposed that languages choose either type as the one with the “tightest” marking pattern; whereas the crosslinguistic tendency is to have tighter hyperonymic compounds, most languages of Europe rather have tighter hyponymic compounds (Arcodia, Giorgio Francesco, Nicola Grandi, & Bernhard Wälchli 2010. Coordination in compounding. In Sergio Scalise & Irene Vogel (eds.),Cross-disciplinary issues in compounding, 177–198. Amsterdam & Philadelphia: John Benjamins). In this paper, we will test this assumption on noun-noun compounds in a sample of 20 Standard Average European languages and in a balanced sample of 60 non-SAE languages, arguing that the preference for hyperonymic compounds is best explained by the default referential function of nouns; in hyponymic compounds, on the other hand, nouns are used to indicate properties. We will then compare nominal and adjectival coordinating compounds, showing that for the latter the hyponymic compounding pattern is the dominant one, as adjectives are prototypical property-denoting words.
