Simulation Based Performance of Mumbai-Pune Expressway Scenario for Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Using IEEE 802.11P
Authors: Khairnar Vaishali D. , Kotecha Ketan 
Published: November 2013

Abstract
Traffic safety applications using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is an emerging technology and promising area within the ITS environment. Many of these applications require real-time communication with high reliability; to meet a real-time deadline, timely and predictable access to the channel. The medium access method used in 802.11p, CSMA with collision avoidance, does not guarantee channel access before a finite deadline. The well-known property of CSMA is undesirable for critical communications scenarios. The simulation results reveal that a specific vehicle is forced to drop over 80% of its packets because no channel access was possible before the next message was generated. To overcome this problem, we propose to use STDMA for realtime data traffic between vehicles. The real-time properties of STDMA are investigated by means of the highway road simulation scenario, with promising results.
‘Classical Hausa’ Glosses in a Nineteenth-Century Qur'anic Manuscript: A Case of ‘Translational Reading’ in Sudanic Africa?
Authors: Dobronravin Nikolay 
Published: November 2013

This article presents an analysis of Hausa glosses in a nineteenth-century Qur'anic manuscript (C1688) from the library of the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts in St Petersburg, and argues that a systematic study of Arabic manuscripts with Hausa glosses is needed for a re-interpretation of early Hausa writings in Arabic script. The origins of the Hausa written tradition in Arabic script and the evolution of the concept ‘Ajami’ in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries from ‘non-Arabic (language, culture, etc.)’ to ‘a variety of Arabic script adapted to African languages (with additional vowel-signs and diacritics)’ is discussed, and it is suggested that the frequency of the marginal notes ʿajam and ʿajamī used to mark non-Arabic glosses in Arabic manuscripts might depend on the linguistic properties of the manuscripts as well as sub-regional traditions of writing in Sudanic Africa. Hausa glosses in the St Petersburg manuscript – including nouns, adjectives, verbs and verbal constructions – are described in same detail. Special attention is paid to borrowings from Arabic and negative verbal constructions which are not attested in Hausa dialects and modern Standard Hausa. For the first time in Hausa studies, the shift in the meaning of the Hausa word shisshigi (from ‘acting tyrannically’ to ‘meddlesomeness’) is explored. The glosses are compared with the Arabic text of Tafsīr al-Jalālayn and two modern Hausa tafāsīr, those of Abubakar Mahmud Gumi and Nasiru Kabara. It is demonstrated that the Hausa glosses in the St Petersburg Qur'anic MS share a greater affinity with Kabara's tafsīr than with Gumi's translation, and, on this basis, suggested that the translational practices reflected in the St Petersburg manuscript and in Kabara's tafsīr might be linked with the Qādiriyya tradition of Arabic-Hausa ‘translational reading’.
Un couvercle de sarcophage paléochrétien, vestige de la dévotion à saint Jean-Baptiste à l'abbaye de Saint-Denis
Authors: Lombard-Jourdan Anne 
Published: November 2013

At the Maison d'Education de la Légion d'Honneur at Saint-Denis is a palaeochristian lid of a sarcophagus which has not been previously studied. It has been reused to cover an ossuary housing the bones of Bénédictine monks, exhumed during work on the cloister in the eighteenth Century and reburied in September 1886 in the cemetery of the Maison, next to the park.
The slab is eut prismatically in the form of a roof with four slopes, three of which are sculpted with round imbrications in the form of carp scales. It differs from other similarly sculpted lids dating from the early Middle Ages with respect to its material : a very hard pink and white veined marble, and with respect to an engraved inscription referring to the décollation of Saint John the Baptist, yet another witness to the ancient and often attested cuit of the Baptist at the abbey of Saint Denis.
Le château du Plessis-Belleville : François Mansart copie François Mansart
Authors: Mignot Claude 
Published: November 2013

E. J. Ciprut hatte 1965 das Schloss von Plessis-Belleville auf die Jahre von 1627-1628 datiert und François Mansart zugeschrieben. Zwei unveröffentlichte Gutachten erlauben es, den genauen Plan aller fünf Geschosse dieses Jugendwerkes zu restituieren. Plessis-Belleville erscheint somit wie ein Zwillingsschloss von Balleroy, was die traditionnelle Datierug des Normannischen Schlosses bestätigt. In den Feuillants hatte Mansart, der seiner eigenen schöpferischen Möglichkeiten damals noch wenig sicher war, die Fassade des Salomon de Brosse von Saint-Gervais kopiert ; hier kopiert er sich selbst, indem er sich wiederholt.
Im Jahre 1656 wurde das Schloss durch den Bau von zwei grossen zusätzlichen Pavillons erweitert, was es erlaubte, die Treppe seitlich zu verschieben und in der Mitte Platz für einen grossen Saal nach italienischer Mode zu schaffen.
Le « Maître Nicolas d'Amiens » et la mise au tombeau de Malesherbes. À propos d'un document inédit
Authors: Grodecki Catherine 
Published: November 2013

La Mise au tombeau de l'église de Malesherbes proviendrait, selon la tradition, de l'ancien couvent des Cordeliers, fondé en ce lieu en 1494 par l'amiral Louis Malet de Graville, détruit en 1802. En fait, un acte notarié nous apprend que le monument a été commandé le 28 mars 1495 par l'amiral de Graville pour la chapelle de son château de Malesherbes à un « tailleur d'images » résidant à Paris, mais probablement d'origine anversoise, Adrien Wincart, qui devait l'exécuter selon l'ordonnance et suivant le patron « fait par Maître Nicolas d'Amiens ». Une note dans le chartrier de Malesherbes confirme la situation première de la Mise au tombeau dans la chapelle castrale, dont elle fut enlevée pour être transportée au couvent des Cordeliers en 1720. Il est possible que le monument prenait place à l'origine dans la petite chapelle élevée dans son château à la fin du XVe siècle par l'amiral de Graville, dans un enfeu abrité sous une arcade flamboyante qu'on peut y voir encore. Récemment Mme Nicole Reynaud a proposé d'identifier l'ordonnateur du monument, Nicolas d'Amiens, dit « Colin d'Amiens », avec le « Maître de Coëtivy », peintre et enlumineur qui a peint de nombreux manuscrits, aussi peintre de tableaux, cartonnier de vitraux et de tapisseries, fournisseur de patrons d'orfèvrerie et de sculpture, dont celui du priant de Louis XI à Notre-Dame de Cléry (1482).
La comparaison des figures de Malesherbes avec des œuvres attribuées au « Maître de Coëtivy » (tableau de la Résurrection de Lazare au Louvre, vitraux de Saint- Séverin de Paris, patrons pour la tenture de la Guerre de Troie) conforte l'indication donnée par le marché et autorise, en s'appuyant sur l'hypothèse de Nicole Reynaud, à reconnaître dans le « Maître de Coëtivy », identifie avec Nicolas, dit Colin d'Amiens, le concepteur du monument. L'activité reconnue de l'artiste irait alors de 1450 environ à 1495.
Distributed Agent-based IP Location System Framework Design

Published: November 2013

Computer crime causes significant impact and
losses to society and the public security of countries, and
even influences homeland security. From previous lessons,
we know that the physical location of computer criminals
plays an important role in combat with computer crime,
including IP Traceback and IP Location. Literature review
shows that there have been many studies of the topic of IP
Traceback. However, the most critical IP Location has not
yet been thoroughly discussed, and existing IP Location
approaches, as based on end-to-end delay measurement
from a set of landmarks, fail to outperform much simpler
techniques, and the error of these approaches is strongly
determined by the distance to the nearest landmark, even
when triangulation is used to combine estimates from
different landmarks. In view of this, this study uses the
concept of IP Location and Network Forensics to propose
the distributed agent-based IP Location system framework
in order that the "position" of the criminal can be traced,
and identity can be deduced by this mechanism, when
cybercriminal behavior occurs. The result of actual
implementation in WiMAX networks shows that the
accuracy of IP Location can be the coverage area of a base
station (in radius of 150-500 m in urban areas).
Efficient Data Gathering in Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Matrix Completion and Compressive Sensing
Authors: Xiong Jiping , Zhao Jian , Chen Lei 
Published: November 2013

Gathering data in an energy efficient manner in
wireless sensor networks is an important design challenge. In wireless sensor networks, the readings of sensors always exhibit intra-temporal and inter-spatial correlations. Therefore, in this paper, we use low rank matrix completion theory to explore the inter-spatial correlation and use compressive sensing theory to take advantage of intratemporal correlation. Our method, dubbed MCCS, can significantly reduce the amount of data that each sensor must send through network and to the sink, thus prolong the lifetime of the whole networks. Experiments using real datasets demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of our MCCS method

Published: November 2013

http://dx.doi.org/10.5902/1984686X10178A legislação brasileira determina que todas as crianças devem ter acesso à escola comum, incluindo sujeitos com transtornos do espectro do autismo. Embora um corpo substancial de pesquisas descreva os benefícios derivados da inclusão dessas pessoas, o tema ainda permanece controverso, principalmente quanto à possibilidade das escolas oferecerem respostas adequadas às necessidades de crianças com TEA. O presente artigo tem por objetivo identificar o que as produções científicas nacionais, publicadas entre 2008 e 2013, têm revelado sobre a inclusão de pessoas com TEA no Brasil. Os resultados mostram que a presença desses educandos em escolas regulares aumentou de forma expressiva após a popularização do paradigma da inclusão. Por outro lado, observa-se que o desconhecimento sobre a síndrome e a carência de estratégias pedagógicas específicas pode acarretar poucos efeitos na aprendizagem dessa população.

Published: November 2013

Background Many people have an interest in the correction of facial scars or deformities caused by trauma. The increasing ability to correct such flaws has been one of the reasons for the increase in the popularity of facial plastic surgery. In addition to its roles in communication, breathing, eating, olfaction and vision, the appearance of the face also plays an important role in human interactions, including during social activities. However, studies on the importance of the functional role of facial appearance. As a function of the face are scare. Therefore, in the present study, we evaluated the importance of the functions of the face in Korea.
Methods We conducted an online panel survey of 300 participants (age range, 20-70 years). Each respondent was administered the demographic data form, Facial Function Assessment Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and standard gamble questionnaires.
Results In the evaluation on the importance of facial functions, a normal appearance was considered as important as communication, breathing, speech, and vision. Of the 300 participants, 85% stated that a normal appearance is important in social activities.
Conclusions The results of this survey involving a cross-section of the Korean population indicated that a normal appearance was considered one of the principal facial functions. A normal appearance was considered more important than the functions of olfaction and expression. Moreover, a normal appearance was determined to be an important facial function for leading a normal life in Korea.
Dominance and interloci interactions in transcriptional activation cascades: Models explaining compensatory mutations and inheritance patterns
Authors: Bost Bruno , Veitia Reiner A. 
Published: November 2013

SummaryMutations in human genes encoding transcription factors are often dominant because one active allele cannot ensure a normal phenotype (haploinsufficiency). In other instances, heterozygous mutations of two genes are required for a phenotype to appear (combined haploinsufficiency). Here, we explore with models (i) the basis of haploinsufficiency and combined haploinsufficiency owing to mutations in transcription activators, and (ii) how the effects of such mutations can be amplified or buffered by subsequent steps in a transcription cascade. We propose that the non‐linear (sigmoidal) response of transcription to the concentration of activators can explain haploinsufficiency. We further show that the sigmoidal character of the output of a cascade increases with the number of steps involved, the settings of which will determine the buffering or enhancement of the effects of a decreased concentration of an upstream activator. This exploration provides insights into the bases of compensatory mutations and on interloci interactions underlying oligogenic inheritance patterns.

ScopeMice are usually housed at 20–24°C. At thermoneutrality (28°C) larger diet‐induced differences in obesity are seen. We tested whether this leads to large differences in metabolic health parameters.Methods and resultsWe performed a 14‐wk dietary intervention in C57BL/6J mice at 28°C and assessed adiposity and metabolic health parameters for a semipurified low fat (10 energy%) diet and a moderate high fat (30 energy%) diet. A large and significant diet‐induced differential increase in body weight, adipose tissue mass, adipocyte size, serum leptin level, and, to some extent, cholesterol level was observed. No adipose tissue inflammation was seen. No differential effect of the diets on serum glucose, free fatty acids, triacylglycerides, insulin, adiponectin, resistin, PAI‐1, MMP‐9, sVCAM‐1, sICAM‐1, sE‐selectin, IL‐6, ApoE, fibrinogen levels, or HOMA index was observed. Also in muscle no differential effect on mitochondrial density, mitochondrial respiratory control ratio, or mRNA expression of metabolic genes was found. Finally, in liver no differential effect on weight, triacylglycerides level, aconitase/citrate synthase activity ratio was seen.ConclusionLow fat diet and moderate high fat diet induce prominent body weight differences at thermoneutrality, which is not paralleled by metabolic differences. Our data rather suggest that thermoneutrality alters metabolic homeostasis.
Autophagy proteins regulate ERK phosphorylation

Published: November 2013

AbstractAutophagy is a conserved pathway that maintains cellular quality control. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) controls various aspects of cell physiology including proliferation. Multiple signalling cascades, including ERK, have been shown to regulate autophagy, however whether autophagy proteins (ATG) regulate cell signalling is unknown. Here we show that growth factor exposure increases the interaction of ERK cascade components with ATG proteins in the cytosol and nucleus. ERK and its upstream kinase MEK localize to the extra-luminal face of autophagosomes. ERK2 interacts with ATG proteins via its substrate-binding domains. Deleting Atg7 or Atg5 or blocking LC3 lipidation or ATG5–ATG12 conjugation decreases ERK phosphorylation. Conversely, increasing LC3-II availability by silencing the cysteine protease ATG4B or acute trehalose exposure increases ERK phosphorylation. Decreased ERK phosphorylation in Atg5−/− cells does not occur from overactive phosphatases. Our findings thus reveal an unconventional function of ATG proteins as cellular scaffolds in the regulation of ERK phosphorylation.

CAFs (cancer-associated fibroblasts), the most abundant cell type in breast cancer stroma, produce a plethora of chemokines, growth factors and ECM (extracellular matrix) proteins, that may contribute to dissemination and metastasis. Axillary nodes are the first metastatic site in breast cancer; however, to the present date, there is no consensus of which specific proteins, synthesized by CAFs, might be related with lymph node involvement. The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review of CAF biomarkers associated with the presence of regional metastasis. PubMed was searched using the words: ‘breast cancer’ and ‘lymph node’ and fibroblast or stroma or microenvironment. After exclusions, eight studies evaluating biomarkers immunoexpression in CAFs and lymph node status were selected. Biomarkers evaluated in these studies may be divided in two groups, according to their ontology: extracellular matrix components [MMP13 (matrix metalloproteinase 13), TIMP2 (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2), THBS1 (thrombospondin 1), LGALS1 (lectin, galactoside-binding, soluble, 1)] and response to wounding [PDPN (podoplanin), PLAU (plasminogen activator, urokinase), PLAUR (plasminogen activator, urokinase receptor), CAV1 (caveolin 1), THBS1, LGALS1]. A positive expression of MMP13 and LGALS1 in CAFs was associated with enhanced OR (odds ratio) for regional metastasis. Contrariwise, CAV1 positive staining of fibroblasts was associated with decreased OR for nodal involvement. Expression of MMP13, PDPN and CAV1 was further tested in a new series of 65 samples of invasive ductal breast carcinomas by immunohistochemistry and no association between biomarkers expression in CAFs and nodal status was found. It was suggested that breast cancer subtypes may differentially affect CAFs behaviour. It would be interesting to evaluate the prognostic significance of these biomarkers in CAFs from different tumour types.
Whole‐body vibration training increases physical fitness measures without alteration of inflammatory markers in older adults

Published: November 2013

AbstractThis study investigated in older adults whether whole‐body vibration (WBV) training results in significant increases of physical fitness measures without alterations in markers of inflammation. Sixteen volunteers completed a WBV programme 3 d.wk−1 during 9 weeks. The programme consisted of lower and upper‐body unloaded static and dynamic exercises. Training improved significantly several tests which evaluate physical fitness, such as 30‐s chair stand, arm curl or chair sit and reach test. There was a significant increase in maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) between pre‐ and post‐training conditions. Muscle power values, reached at 20, 40 and 60% MVIC, were also significantly greater after training. However, mRNA or protein levels for C‐reactive protein, interleukin‐6, interleukin‐1β, tumour necrosis factor‐α and interleukin‐10 did not significantly differ from basal values. Our data confirm the usefulness of WBV training for counteracting the loss of muscle strength associated with sarcopenia in older adults and show that WBV training could be a safe training method which induces no inflammatory effects.
