A study on SW‐Blackbox to ensure the reliability of content distribution using file system event monitoring of online service providers
Authors: Seo Sang‐Ho , Jung Byung‐Ok , Koh Byung‐Su , Jeong James 
Published: April 2015

AbstractAs the utilization of cultural content has changed to a digital paradigm, music and movies have been copied without permission and distributed quickly on a real‐time basis. Because these copies have the same quality as the original works, authors and producers find it increasingly difficult to protect the copyright of the materials they create. Accordingly, illegal online service providers (OSPs) are deemed responsible for the illegal distribution of cultural content. Although relevant copyright laws are implemented and filtering technical protection measures are applied, OSP operators continue to distribute illegal content by bypassing filtering technologies and omitting and fabricating or altering log records related to content distribution. As a result, the legal market order of content distribution is damaged, and the rights and interests of users and owners are severely infringed. However, restricting the illegal distribution and technical filtering of content under current regulations are not solutions to this problem. Therefore, fundamental control and active monitoring are necessary to complement existing regulations and technical protection measures. This paper proposes an SW‐Blackbox technical method using file system event monitoring to verify the reliability of OSPs that operate file hosting services (Web Hard). This method prevents the bypassing of filtering solutions and the omission, fabrication, and altering of transaction‐related logs for the intentional distribution of illegal content.

Network throughput maximization in unreliable wireless sensor networks with minimal remote data transfer cost

Published: April 2015

AbstractIn this paper, we consider large‐scale remote environmental monitoring (data gathering) through deploying an unreliable wireless sensor network in a remote region. The data monitoring center is geographically located far away from the region of the sensor network, which consists of sensors and gateways. Sensors are responsible for sensing and relaying data, and gateways are equipped with 3G/4G radios and can store the collected data from sensors temporarily and transmit the data to the remote data center through a third‐party communication service. A service cost of using this service will be charged, which depends on not only the number of gateways employed but also the volume of data transmitted from each gateway within a given monitoring period. For this large‐scale, remote, and unreliable data gathering, we first formulate a problem of maximizing network throughput with minimal service cost with an objective to maximize the amount of data collected by all gateways while minimizing the service cost. We then show that the problem is NP‐complete and propose novel approximation algorithms. The key ingredients of the proposed algorithms include building load‐balanced routing trees rooted at gateways and dynamically adjusting data load among the gateways. Finally, we conduct experiments by simulations to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithms. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms are very promising, and the obtained solutions are fractional of the optimum in terms of network throughput and the data service cost.

Published: April 2015

AbstractThe apatite‐type strontium vanadate fluoride Sr5(VO4)3F was synthesized by standard solid‐state reaction method and grown by spontaneous crystallization flux method. It crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P63/m with lattice constants a = 9.988(4) Å, c = 7.415(6) Å, Z = 2. The structure consists of infinite three‐dimensional [Sr(2)2(VO4)3]5+ framework with tunnels along the c axis, where Sr(1)2+ and F– ions are filled. Functional groups in the structure have been identified by IR spectroscopy and the very high thermal stability up to 1400 °C has been identified by TG and DSC analyses. UV/Vis/NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and first‐principle theoretical studies were also carried out to aid the understanding of optical properties and electronic structure.
Rebuild or Relocate? Resilience and Postdisaster Decision‐Making After Hurricane Sandy
Authors: Binder Sherri Brokopp , Baker Charlene K. , Barile John P. 
Published: April 2015

AbstractHurricane Sandy struck the east coast of the United States on October 29, 2012, devastating communities in its path. In the aftermath, New York implemented a home buyout program designed to facilitate the permanent relocation of residents out of areas considered to be at risk for future hazards. While home buyout programs are becoming popular as policy tools for disaster mitigation, little is known about what factors influence homeowners to participate in or reject these programs. This study used mixed methods to assess the relationship between community resilience and the relocation decision in two heavily damaged communities in which the majority of residents made different decisions regarding whether or not to pursue a buyout. The sample was composed of residents from Oakwood Beach and Rockaway Park, both working‐class communities in New York City, who participated via a community survey (N = 133) and/or in‐depth interviews (N = 28). Results suggested that community resilience moderated the relationship between community of residence and the buyout decision, leading to opposite responses on the buyout decision. Contextual community factors, including the history of natural disasters, local cultural norms, and sense of place, were instrumental in explaining these different responses. Implications for disaster policy are discussed.
Near-wall rising behaviour of a deformable bubble at high Reynolds number
Authors: Jeong Hyeonju , Park Hyungmin 
Published: April 2015

The dynamics of a large deformable bubble ($\mathit{Re}\sim \mathit{O}(10^{3})$) rising near a vertical wall in quiescent water is experimentally investigated. The reference (without the wall) rising path of the considered bubble is a two-dimensional zigzag. For a range of wall configurations (i.e. initial wall distance and boundary condition), using high-speed shadowgraphy, various rising behaviours such as periodic bouncing, sliding, migrating away, and non-periodic oscillation without collisions are measured and analysed. Unlike low-Reynolds- and Weber-number bubbles, the contribution of the surface deformation to the transport between the energy components becomes significant during the bubble’s rise. In particular, across the bubble–wall collision, the excess surface energy compensates the deficit of kinetic energy. This enables a large deformable bubble to maintain a relatively constant bouncing kinematics, despite the obvious wall-induced energy dissipation. The wall effect, predominantly appearing as energy loss, is found to decrease as the initial distance from the bubble centre to the wall increases. Compared to the regular (no-slip) wall, a hydrophobic surface enhances or reduces the wall effect depending on the wall distance, whereas a porous surface reduces the energy loss due to the wall, regardless of the initial distance from the wall. Furthermore, the bubble–wall collision behaviour is assessed in terms of a restitution coefficient and modified impact Stokes number (ratio of the inertia to viscous forces), which shows a good correlation, the trends of which agree well with the variations in the energy components. The dependence of near-wall bubble motion on the wall distance and boundary condition may suggest a way of predicting or controlling the near-wall gas void-fraction distribution in gas–liquid flow systems.

Published: April 2015

During the past decades, a rapid nutritional transition has been observed along with economic growth in the Republic of Korea. Since this dramatic change in diet has been frequently associated with cancer and other non-communicable diseases, dietary monitoring is essential to understand the association. Benefiting from pre-existing standardised dietary methodologies, the present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and describe the development of a Korean version of the international computerised 24 h dietary recall method (GloboDiet software) and its complementary tools, developed at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), WHO. Following established international Standard Operating Procedures and guidelines, about seventy common and country-specific databases on foods, recipes, dietary supplements, quantification methods and coefficients were customised and translated. The main results of the present study highlight the specific adaptations made to adapt the GloboDiet software for research and dietary surveillance in Korea. New (sub-) subgroups were added into the existing common food classification, and new descriptors were added to the facets to classify and describe specific Korean foods. Quantification methods were critically evaluated and adapted considering the foods and food packages available in the Korean market. Furthermore, a picture book of foods/dishes was prepared including new pictures and food portion sizes relevant to Korean diet. The development of the Korean version of GloboDiet demonstrated that it was possible to adapt the IARC-WHO international dietary tool to an Asian context without compromising its concept of standardisation and software structure. It, thus, confirms that this international dietary methodology, used so far only in Europe, is flexible and robust enough to be customised for other regions worldwide.
Creating Citizen-Workers through Civic Integration
Authors: SUVARIEROL SEMIN 
Published: April 2015

AbstractThe shift to the workfare state has brought about ways of governing welfare subjects, the practical implementation of which has often been delegated to private state agents and their street-level bureaucrats. In the neoliberal paternalist state, the words and deeds of these street-level agents become even more relevant in order to understand the impact of contemporary social policies. This article focuses on the case of migrants in the Netherlands, who are problematised in particular as (potential) welfare subjects. By analysing the civic integration programme content for migrants, it reveals the responsibilising and disciplining discourses and practices used to promote the ideal of citizen-worker. That the task of inculcating the virtues and skills demanded by neoliberal policies has been transferred to private course providers makes state ideology all-invasive. While the lack of integration and participation is linked to individual failure, the state loses its social face in the process.
A tool for the evaluation of human lower arm injury: approach, experimental validation and application to safe robotics

Published: April 2015

SUMMARYThis paper treats the systematic injury analysis of lower arm robot–human impacts. For this purpose, a passive mechanical lower arm (PMLA) was developed that mimics the human impact response and is suitable for systematic impact testing and prediction of mild contusions and lacerations. A mathematical model of the passive human lower arm is adopted to the control of the PMLA. Its biofidelity is verified by a number of comparative impact experiments with the PMLA and a human volunteer. The respective dynamic impact responses show very good consistency and support the fact that the developed device may serve as a human substitute in safety analysis for the described conditions. The collision tests were performed with two different robots: the DLR Lightweight Robot III (LWR-III) and the EPSON PS3L industrial robot. The data acquired in the PMLA impact experiments were used to encapsulate the results in a robot independent safety curve, taking into account robot's reflected inertia, velocity and impact geometry. Safety curves define the velocity boundaries on robot motions based on the instantaneous manipulator dynamics and possible human injury due to unforeseen impacts.
Compensating for livestock killed by lions: payment for environmental services as a policy arrangement

Published: April 2015

SUMMARYTo address human–wildlife conflicts and the related threat of extinction of the African lion, in 2003, the Maasailand Preservation Trust established a fund at the Mbirikani Group Ranch in southern Kenya to provide monetary compensation for livestock killed by wildlife. In this paper, the policy arrangement approach (PAA) is used to analyse this arrangement as a form of payment for environmental services (PES). Although there has been a considerable reduction in the number of lions killed, the analysis reveals several limitations of this arrangement, including three main side effects, namely it has initiated a process that is difficult to sustain or reverse, created a new cycle of dependence and widened the gap between different groups in the community. In conclusion, the drawbacks of this type of compensation fund must be addressed by combining such arrangements with other public and private policies and initiatives. Careful examination and comparison of different kinds of experiments with PES-like arrangements are required to further build understanding of the potential and different contributions of public and private, market-based initiatives in biodiversity governance.

Published: April 2015

SummaryThe Santa Marta Foliage-gleanerAutomolus rufipectusis one of 19 endemic bird species found in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (SNSM) in northern Colombia but until recently it was considered a sub-species of the Ruddy Foliage-gleanerAutomolus rubiginosus. Consequently, published information on its distribution and ecology is lacking, and while it is classified as near- threatened, this designation was based on limited quantitative data. To improve our knowledge of the Santa Marta Foliage-gleaner’s geographical distribution, elevation range, population density, habitat use and conservation status, we analysed both historical and recent site locality records and carried out variable distance transects within forested habitats and shade coffee plantations. We modelled the environmental niche of the species and subsequently estimated its extent of occurrence and area of occupancy, as well as population size. Our results consistently showed that the distribution of the Santa Marta Foliage-gleaner is more restricted than previously considered, both geographically and by elevation (we redefine elevation range as 600–1,875 m). This suggests that the species is more at risk of habitat transformation and combined with our estimates of population size (< 10,000 individuals), it is likely that the species will be uplisted to a higher threat category. More positively, and contrary to published accounts, we found that approximately 40% of the species’ range lies within protected areas. Nevertheless, we recommend the implementation of strategies to maintain forest cover on the western flank of the SNSM and further research to better define the species’ habitat needs and population dynamics.

AbstractObjectiveThe δ13C value of human blood is an emerging novel biomarker of added sugar (AS) intake for adults. However, no free-living, community-based assessments of comparative validity of this biomarker have been conducted. The purpose of the present investigation was to determine if Healthy Eating Index-2010 (HEI-2010) score, SoFAAS score (HEI-2010 sub-component for solid fat, alcohol and AS), AS and sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intakes were associated with δ13C value of fingerstick blood in a community-based sample of adults, while controlling for relevant demographics.DesignA cross-sectional analysis of data obtained from assessments of BMI, dietary intake using 24 h recalls and a fingerstick blood sample was completed. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, multiple linear regression and one-way ANOVA.SettingRural Southwest Virginia, USA.SubjectsAdults (n 216) aged >18 years who consumed at least 837 kJ/d (200 kcal/d) from SSB.ResultsThis sample of adult participants with low socio-economic status demonstrated a mean HEI-2010 score of 43·4 (sd 12·2), mean SoFAAS score of 10·2 (sd 5·7), mean AS intake of 93 (sd 65) g/d and mean blood δ13C value of −18·88 (sd 0·7) ‰. In four separate regression models, HEI-2010 (R2=0·16), SoFAAS (R2=0·19), AS (R2=0·15) and SSB (R2=0·14) predicted δ13C value (all P≤0·001). Age was also predictive of δ13C value, but not sex or race.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that fingerstick δ13C value has the potential to be a minimally invasive method for assessing AS and SSB intake and overall dietary quality in community-based settings. Strengths, limitations and future areas of research for using an objective δ13C biomarker in diet-related public health studies are discussed.
Hexagonal plate-like magnetite nanocrystals produced in komatiite–H2O–CO2reaction system at 450°C
Authors: Hao Xi-Luo , Li Yi-Liang 
Published: April 2015

AbstractBatch experiments of komatiite–H2O–CO2system with temperatures from 200 to 450°C were performed to simulate the interactions between the newly formed ultramafic crust and the proto-atmosphere on Earth before the formation of its earliest ocean. Particularly, magnetite nanocrystals were observed in the experiment carried out at 450°C that are characterized by their hexagonal platelet-like morphology and porous structure. Exactly the same set of lattice fringes on the two opposite sides of one pore suggests post-crystallization erosion. The results demonstrate that magnetite could be produced by the direct interactions between the ultramafic rocky crust and the atmosphere before the formation of the ocean on the Hadean Earth. These magnetite nanoparticles could serve as a catalyst in the synthesis of simple organic molecules during the organochemical evolution towards life.
Structural basis for the targeting of complement anaphylatoxin C5a using a mixed L-RNA/L-DNA aptamer

Published: April 2015

AbstractL-Oligonucleotide aptamers (Spiegelmers) consist of non-natural L-configured nucleotides and are of particular therapeutic interest due to their high resistance to plasma nucleases. The anaphylatoxin C5a, a potent inflammatory mediator generated during complement activation that has been implicated with organ damage, can be efficiently targeted by Spiegelmers. Here, we present the first crystallographic structures of an active Spiegelmer, NOX-D20, bound to its physiological targets, mouse C5a and C5a-desArg. The structures reveal a complex 3D architecture for the L-aptamer that wraps around C5a, including an intramolecular G-quadruplex stabilized by a central Ca2+ ion. Functional validation of the observed L-aptamer:C5a binding mode through mutational studies also rationalizes the specificity of NOX-D20 for mouse and human C5a against macaque and rat C5a. Finally, our structural model provides the molecular basis for the Spiegelmer affinity improvement through positional L-ribonucleotide to L-deoxyribonucleotide exchanges and for its inhibition of the C5a:C5aR interaction.

AbstractThe amniote middle ear is a classical example of the evolutionary novelty. Although paleontological evidence supports the view that mammals and diapsids (modern reptiles and birds) independently acquired the middle ear after divergence from their common ancestor, the developmental bases of these transformations remain unknown. Here we show that lower-to-upper jaw transformation induced by inactivation of the Endothelin1-Dlx5/6 cascade involving Goosecoid results in loss of the tympanic membrane in mouse, but causes duplication of the tympanic membrane in chicken. Detailed anatomical analysis indicates that the relative positions of the primary jaw joint and first pharyngeal pouch led to the coupling of tympanic membrane formation with the lower jaw in mammals, but with the upper jaw in diapsids. We propose that differences in connection and release by various pharyngeal skeletal elements resulted in structural diversity, leading to the acquisition of the tympanic membrane in two distinct manners during amniote evolution.
ASK1 restores the antiviral activity of APOBEC3G by disrupting HIV-1 Vif-mediated counteraction

AbstractAPOBEC3G (A3G) is an innate antiviral restriction factor that strongly inhibits the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). An HIV-1 accessory protein, Vif, hijacks the host ubiquitin–proteasome system to execute A3G degradation. Identification of the host pathways that obstruct the action of Vif could provide a new strategy for blocking viral replication. We demonstrate here that the host protein ASK1 (apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1) interferes with the counteraction by Vif and revitalizes A3G-mediated viral restriction. ASK1 binds the BC-box of Vif, thereby disrupting the assembly of the Vif–ubiquitin ligase complex. Consequently, ASK1 stabilizes A3G and promotes its incorporation into viral particles, ultimately reducing viral infectivity. Furthermore, treatment with the antiretroviral drug AZT (zidovudine) induces ASK1 expression and restores the antiviral activity of A3G in HIV-1-infected cells. This study thus demonstrates a distinct function of ASK1 in restoring the host antiviral system that can be enhanced by AZT treatment.
