description: We present a Bayesian inference scheme for scaled Brownian motion, and investigate its performance on synthetic data for parameter estimation and model selection in a combined inference with fractional Brownian motion. We include the possibility of measurement noise in both models. We find that for trajectories of a few hundred time points the procedure is able to resolve well the true model and parameters. Using the prior of the synthetic data generation process also for the inference, the approach is optimal based on decision theory. We include a comparison with inference using a prior different from the data generating one.

description: In this work, the efficiency of innovative technologies such as ultrasounds (US), pulsed electric fields (PEF), high-voltage electrical discharges (HVED) and accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) in terms of polyphenol extraction from grapes, vine shoots and grape pomace was studied. PEF pre-treatment (48 kJ/kg) of grapes enhances the subsequent polyphenols (98% anthocyanin) extraction during the winemaking process. US, PEF or HVED were used as pretreatments prior to the alkaline extraction of polyphenols from vine shoots. US (3428 kJ/kg), PEF (762 kJ/kg) and HVED (254 kJ/kg) provoked cellular damage to vine shoots cells up to 25, 40 and 75 % respectively. Therefore and compared to solid-liquid extraction (1.15 g GAE/100 g DM), US (3428 kJ/kg), PEF (762 kJ/kg) and HVED (254 kJ/kg) enhanced polyphenol recovery to 1.5, 2.2 and 3.5 g GAE/100 g DM, respectively. HVED extracted the highest concentration of resveratrol (0.4 mg/g) and epicatechin (2.459 mg/g) with the lowest energy consumption amongst innovative technologies. On the other hand, ASE was used to enhance polyphenol recovery from grape pomace. ASE ameliorated polyphenol extraction from 5.5 (solid-liquid) to 16.2 g GAE/100 g DM and the radical scavenging capacity from 67 % to 76.5 %.

description: BACKGROUND:
This work demonstrates how non-indigneous and Indigenous researchers can work across epistemological and ontological paradigms to generate new ways of conceptualising landscape and landscape issues of national importance – in this case the Murray-Darling Basin. The essay draws on the work of Martin Nakata in understanding ontological dualisms so vast or ‘incommensurable’ which may otherwise preclude collaboration and demonstrating through the awareness and manifestation of the ‘cultural interface’ a generative approach. In doing so this article forms part of a larger body of in which landscape, as a constructed idea, is considered to be separating us from our environment – with often drastic consequences for our world.
CONTRIBUTION: The essay makes contributions on several levels; it outlines parameters for the development of techniques, protocols and frameworks in which to work at this interface, to work productively through incommensurability rather than be caught in stultifying binaries and demonstrating this to a broad disciplinary audience. As such can be seen as advancing the cause and practice of reconciliation with a focus on the urgent need for the transformation of disciplinary design thinking in relation to Indigenous Knowledge. It also demonstrates, through an innovative blended methodology which draws backwards and forwards across this interface, new possibilities for landscape outcomes within this paradigm.
SIGNIFICANCE: Kerb Journal is internationally recognised as discursive medium through which broad issues of landscape are thematically explored. The Journal is directed by an editorial board, published annually and distributed internationally.

description: We study the linear excitations around typical energy minima of a mean-field disordered model with continuous degrees of freedom undergoing a Random First Order Transition (RFOT). Contrary to naive expectations, the spectra of linear excitations are ungapped and we find the presence of a pseudogap corresponding to localized excitations with arbitrary low excitation energy. Moving to deeper minima in the landscape, the excitations appear increasingly localized while their abundance decreases. Beside typical minima, there also exist rare ultra-stable minima, with an energy gap and no localised excitations.

description: This study was performed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of Capparis ovata extract on experimental animal model of multiple sclerosis. Capparis ovata water extract was prepared as described (Turkish Patent Institute, PT 2012/04 093). Animal MS model, experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) was induced in 6-8 weeks old C57BL/6 mice. MSCov was given to EAE-induced mice intragastrically for 21 days, at 500 mg/kg. At the end of the treatment, RNA was isolated, and cDNA was synthesis was performed by RT-PCR in brain tissues of control, EAE and EAE-MSCOV-treated animals. Differential expression of MS marker genes such as cytokines, chemokines, inflammatory and immune response genes, as well as genes involved in cell adhesion, cellular stress and apoptosis whose expressions correlated across multiple analyses. The onset of EAE happened on day 12.0±1.5 with a maximal clinical score of 3.5±0.2. Caper extract remarkably suppressed development EAE and disease activity highly inhibited This suppression of EAE was associated with significantly reduced expression of genes that are important in inflammatory signaling while expression of genes involved in myelination was increased. These results propose mechanisms by which caper treatment deferred and smothered the development of EAE and improved the ailment in mice with persistent clinical signs.

description: Background: Human brucellosis is a significant health problem in Egypt causing 3% of acute febrile illnesses. Superoxide dismutases (SODs) represent an important antioxidant defense in cells exposed to oxidative stress, as occurs in acute brucellosis. Aim was to assess SOD level during treatment (TTT) of acute brucellosis. Patients & Methods: Cases group comprised 26 patients with acute brucellosis (positive Standard tube agglutination test (SAT)). Ten healthy subjects negative for SAT comprised the control group. Both groups underwent routine laboratory investigations and serum SOD level (by ELISA) assessed in patients before-, 3- and 6-weeks after initiation of combined therapy with Rifampicin and doxycycline. Results: Age and gender had no impact on SOD level which was progressively rising during TTT course. Its level was significantly lower in cases than the control group, (37.5±18.12 ng/ml) for the control Vs {(10.5±9.09 & 23.85±5.19 ng/ml) P<0.05} both before- & 3 weeks after- TTT initiation, but it showed no significant difference between both groups at the sixth week of TTT (33.31±7.092 ng/ml) (P > 0.05). Significant difference in SOD levels was seen in cases before- and -at end of TTT. Conclusion: Serum SOD levels progressively increased as effective TTT continued, finally reaching healthy subjects levels.

description: It is shown that the initial compression in central heavy ion collisions at beam energies of $E_\mathrm{lab}=1-10A$~GeV depends dominantly on the underlying equation of state and only marginally on the model used for the dynamical description. To do so, a procedure to incorporate any equation of state in the UrQMD transport model is introduced. In particular we compare the baryon density, temperature and pressure evolution as well as produced entropy in a relativistic ideal hydrodynamics approach and the UrQMD transport model, where the same equation of state is used in both approaches. Not only is the compression similar if the same equation of state is used in either dynamical model, but it also strongly depends on the actual equation of state. These results indicate that the equation of state can be studied with observables which are sensitive to the initial compression phase and maximum compression achieved in heavy ion collisions at these beam energies.

Combination of inclusive top-quark pair production cross-section measurements using ATLAS and CMS data at √s = 7 and 8 TeV
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
Year: 2023

description: A combination of measurements of the inclusive top-quark pair production cross-section performed by ATLAS and CMS in proton–proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV at the LHC is presented. The cross-sections are obtained using topquark pair decays with an opposite-charge electron–muon pair in the final state and with data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 5 fb−1 at √ s = 7 TeV and about 20 fb−1 at √ s = 8 TeV for each experiment. The combined cross-sections are determined to be 178.5 ± 4.7 pb at √ s = 7 TeV and 243.3 +6.0 −5.9 pb at √ s = 8 TeV with a correlation of 0.41, using a reference top-quark mass value of 172.5 GeV. The ratio of the combined crosssections is determined to be R8/7 = 1.363 ± 0.032. The combined measured cross-sections and their ratio agree well with theory calculations using several parton distribution function (PDF) sets. The values of the top-quark pole mass (with the strong coupling fixed at 0.118) and the strong coupling (with the top-quark pole mass fixed at 172.5 GeV) are extracted from the combined results by fitting a next-to-next-to-leading-order plus next-to-next-toleading-log QCD prediction to the measurements. Using a version of the NNPDF3.1 PDF set containing no top-quark measurements, the results obtained are m pole t = 173.4 +1.8 −2.0 GeV and αs(mZ) = 0.1170+0.0021 −0.0018.

description: Background: An outbreak of cutaneous anthrax was reported from a remote district of Jharkhand in India. We investigated the outbreak and evaluated potential risk factors to guide public health intervention.
Method: We conducted a detailed evaluation of the cases using medical record review and interviews. Venous blood specimens were obtained and evaluated using blood culture in RIMS microbiology laboratory, Ranchi. We ascertained additional cases and conducted a 1:2 case control study to assess risk factors.
Result: Thirteen patients (all male; median age 30 years; range 18-58 years) including 5 deaths were reported; the attack rate was 11.1% and case fatality rate was 38%. In one/three blood cultures, Bacillus anthracis was confirmed. Among the 13 case-patients, 77% had cutaneous lesions in the upper extremities. All cases and controls (13/26) had consumed dead bull meat; 77% of cases (10/13) were involved in the slaughtering, chopping and handling the dead bull meat.  Slaughtering, handling or chopping dead bull meat were actions significantly associated with having anthrax (Odds Ratio (OR) 74; 95 % confidence interval (CI): 19.5 – 845.9). Men were 35 times more likely than females to have anthrax (95 % CI: 3.9 – 312.2). People with an agricultural occupation were 25 times more likely to have anthrax as compared to those working as labourer (95 % CI: 2.8 – 200.6).
Conclusion: In this outbreak, anthrax was likely transmitted through unprotected contact with anthrax- affected animal hide and meat. We recommended screening of cattle, sheep and goats for any symptoms, and administration of 1 ml anthrax spore vaccine subcutaneously to each animal within 5 km radius. We educated the community regarding disposal of dead carcases, handling and slaughtering of infected animal and personal hygiene.

description: Background Remission, defined as absence of symptoms and objective markers of disease, is emerging as the penultimate goal in the management of several chronic diseases. The concept of remission, well-established in Rheumatology as well as Gastroenterology, is currently emerging in Respiratory Medicine for asthma. It is interesting to consider whether the disease remission concept might successfully be applied to Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery in the management of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP). Objective The purpose of this letter is to explore the evidence supporting the concept of remission under continued medical therapy in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis. Methods The authors reviewed the literature and summarized studies in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis evaluating for evidence of clinical, biochemical, and endoscopic remission. Results Findings of the studies revealed that endoscopic sinus surgery with continued medical therapy achieved remission in approximately 50% of all patients. CRSwNP patients after primary endoscopic sinus surgery were able to achieve remission in 72% of instances, however this drops to 42% for patients having revision sinus surgery. For CRSwNP patients with co-morbidities such as asthma and aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease, remission rate drops to 23% and 23.5%, respectively compared to non-asthmatic CRSwNP patients who present a remission rate under continued medical therapy of 60%. Conclusion Remission of symptoms and evidence of disease under medical therapy is indeed a concept achievable in patients with CRSwNP, as demonstrated by studies in the literature. Various co-morbidities, notably asthma, apparently influence rate of remission. Better defining this outcome through consensus-based definitions will allow for the development of strategies in CRSwNP care that can help affected patients attain complete relief from clinical, biochemical, and endoscopic markers of CRS with judicious use of medication and surgery. Future efforts will attempt to improve on these outcomes by achieving symptomatic and endoscopic control of disease following cessation of therapy, potentially paving the way towards clinical remission or a ‘cure’ in CRS.

description: A spatial variant of the Functional Renormalization Group (FRG) is introduced on (Lorentzian signature) globally hyperbolic spacetimes. Through its perturbative expansion it is argued that such a FRG must inevitably be state dependent and that it should be based on a Hadamard state. A concrete implementation is presented for scalar quantum fields on flat Friedmann-Lemaître spacetimes. The universal ultraviolet behavior of Hadamard states allows the flow to be matched to the one-loop renormalized flow (where strict removal of the ultraviolet cutoff requires a tower of potentials, one for each power of the Ricci scalar). The state-dependent infrared behavior of the flow is investigated for States of Low Energy, which are Hadamard states deemed to be viable vacua for a pre-inflationary period. A simple time-dependent infrared fixed point equation (resembling that in Minkowski space) arises for any scale factor, with analytically computable corrections coding the non-perturbative ramifications of the Hadamard property in the infrared.

description: Research Background,
The publication is a reflection of three decades of research into the globally renowned practice-based architecture research program initiated by the author (Leon van Schaik) and a community of practice that supports and advance its ambition.

Research Contribution
The publication documents a number of co-dependent streams that seek to understand how practitioners know and do and approaches to procurement of innovative architecture. Through anecdotes and a consideration of archival material, it draws a 'loose-fit' roadmap to implementing cultural change in educational organisations and developing a unique pedagogical culture and innovative practice-based research program.

Research Significance
A distillation of a lifetime of thinking about architecture and the ways in which it is practiced, researched and taught and an account of how organisational transformation was effected and shaped within RMIT.

description: The scope of the work was to evaluate the effectiveness of a supplement feed containing calcium carbonate, calcium lactate gluconate, chitosan and sodium bicarbonate in order to correct the hyperphosphatemia and the metabolic acidosis in dogs affected by CRF in stage IRIS 3. 20 dogs (average weight 20.1 ± 10.3 kg; mean BCS 2.7 ± 0.7; average age 10.4 ± 2.3) were included in the study.The animals were examined and subjected to haematochemical, biochemical and urinary tests on days 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180. The serum phosphorus was significantly lower in group T compared to group C at days 30 (P < 0.0001), 60 (P < 0.0001), 90 (P < 0.0001), 120 (P < 0.0001), 150 (P = 0.0002) and 180 (P < 0.0001). The ionized calcium was, however, significantly higher in group T compared to group C at days 120 (P <0.01), 150 (P = 0.0002) and 180 (P = 0.0003).

The tested supplement feed is effective in reducing phosphorus blood and increasing the serum bicarbonate, thus improve the clinical condition of the dogs without any adverse reaction.

description: Benefitting from the unequaled precision of the pulsar timing technique, binary pulsars are important testbeds of gravity theories, providing some of the tightest bounds on alternative theories of gravity. One class of well-motivated alternative gravity theories, the scalar-tensor gravity, predict large deviations from general relativity for neutron stars through a nonperturbative phenomenon known as spontaneous scalarization. This effect, which cannot be tested in the Solar System, can now be tightly constrained using the latest results from the timing of a set of 7 binary pulsars (PSRs J0348+0432, J0737$-$3039A, J1012+5307, J1738+0333, J1909$-$3744, J1913+1102, and J2222$-$0137), especially with the updated parameters of PSRs J0737$-$3039A, J1913+1102, and J2222$-$0137. Using new timing results, we constrain the neutron star's effective scalar coupling, which describes how strongly neutron stars couple to the scalar field, to a level of $\left|α_{\rm A}\right| \lesssim 6 \times 10^{-3}$ in a Bayesian analysis. Our analysis is thorough, in the sense that our results apply to all neutron star masses and all reasonable equations of state of dense matters, in the full relevant parameter space. It excludes the possibility of spontaneous scalarization of neutron stars, at least within a class of scalar-tensor gravity theories.

description: Obesity is considered one of the major threats to people’s health. Obesity is a chronic condition defined by an excess amount of body fat. Obesity increases the risk of developing a number of chronic diseases, including insulin resistance, type II diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, stroke and cardiovascular diseases. Allicin, compound obtained from garlic, is known to have a protective effect against oxidative stress. We examined the effects of allicin administration on high fat diet (HFD)-induced obese rats. Forty-eight Swiss albino rats were fed either a normal diet (ND, n = 12), or a HFD (HFD, n = 36) for 8 weeks. HFD-fed rats were further subdivided into HFD (n = 12), HFD with allicin pre-treatment (n = 12), or HFD with allicin post-treatment (8 weeks, n = 12). Allicin significantly attenuated HFD-induced increase in body weight, dyslipidemia, elevated blood pressure, hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. Allicin had anti-oxidative effects, which were more considerable in allicin pre-treated group. These results suggest that allicin supplementation has anti-obesity, anti-dyslipidemic and anti-hypertensive actions which may be mediated, at least in part, through an anti-oxidant mechanism. However, the prophylactic intervention is more effectual than the therapeutic one.

Invisible mending (a disintegrated essay)
Creators: name: Carlin, David
name: Murray, Peta
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 360201
subject: Creative writing (incl. scriptwriting)

description: Background: This work is situated in the field of creative nonfiction practice, specifically the experimental and lyric essay (Tall and D’Agata 1997), which is marked by fragmentation and mosaic forms (Robertson and Hetherington 2016). Against the backdrop of essayistic experiments in redaction (Strahan 2012) and textual absence (Bouilly 2002), this research asks what the further element of collaborative authorship can produce in a lyric essay constituted by implied erasure.

Contribution: ‘Invisible Mending’ is a lyric essay written by Murray and Carlin, produced using an iterative and collaborative process of textual erasure, fragmentation, and mosaicking, which reduced an (as if found) co-written manuscript of 40,000 words into 800 words. By these methods, the lyric essay, finding a form both dialogic and poetic, stages a contemplation on fashion and the ageing body. Within the context of a journal issue themed Erasure, the form of the essay underwrites its speculations into how ageing, often experienced in modern Western culture as a process of gradual erasure, can become instead a site of resistance to that disappearing. In so doing, it invites further experiments in collaborative essaying that can expand the essay’s formal repertoire.

Significance: This essay is published in Speculative Nonfiction, a US literary journal edited by esteemed nonfiction writers/academics Leila Philip and Robin Hemley. The journal’s Advisory Board includes Pulitzer Prize winning critic Margo Jefferson and Guggenheim Fellows Lia Purpura, David Lazar and David Shields. The essay is part of an ongoing essaying project led by Murray and Carlin, How to dress for old age, which has attracted interest from publishers including Hardie Grant.

description: Hydrolysable tannin polyphenols from pomegranate (punicalagin) have been reported to show a wide range of health properties correlated to their high antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities. The objective of the current study was to investigate the protective effect of punicalagin on cell viability and redox status of cultured Caco-2 cells exposed to oxidative stress induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide. The production of malondialdehyde, and total glutathione levels, as well as the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were used as markers of cellular oxidative status. Pretreatment of Caco-2 cells with 5 and 10 µM punicalagin for 24 hours significantly protected cell viability after exposure to tert-butyl hydroperoxide IC50 = 3 mM for 2 hours. The examined doses prevented the decrease of total glutathione and the increase of malondialdehyde under oxidative stress of Caco-2 cells. ROS generation was significantly reduced at the same concentrations. Finally, cell morphology with treatments before and after induction by tert-butyl hydroperoxide showed irreversible effect of the oxidizing agent. The results of the biomarkers analyzed showed that treatment of Caco-2 cells with the natural dietary antioxidant punicalagin protected the cells against oxidative stress.

description: We present the theoretical results for the Majorana band structure and thermal transport properties in the Kitaev honeycomb model under a staggered magnetic field in addition to a uniform one. The Majorana band structure is asymmetrically modulated in momentum space, and the valley degree of freedom is activated and controlled by the magnitudes and directions of the uniform and staggered magnetic fields; as a result, the Majorana excitation is either gapped or gapless, the latter of which in general has Majorana Fermi surfaces, in contrast to the point nodes in the absence of the fields. We show that the asymmetric deformation of the Majorana band induces a nonlinear (nonreciprocal) thermal transport, in addition to the linear one. The field dependence of the linear thermal current is correlated with the magnitude of the Majorana gap, while that of the nonlinear thermal current is associated with the asymmetry of the Majorana excitation spectra. We show the estimates of the thermal currents and discuss that the linear response is experimentally measurable, whereas future improvement is required for the observation of the nonlinear one. We also discuss how the thermal currents are modulated by other additional effects of the magnetic field and contributions from conventional magnons, latter of which are expected in heterostructures to realize an internal staggered magnetic field.

description: Human biomonitoring is an important tool for the evaluation of environmental exposure to contaminants. The data that are obtained from these studies might be compared to appropriate referencevalues(RVs) in aspecific population. The RVs were derived from the rounded valuesof the upper limit of the 95th confidence interval of the 95th percentile for lead(Pb), cadmium(Cd) and mercury(Hg) in bloodfrom adultsin the metropolitanareaof SaoPaulo(MASP), Brazil to investigate the association between bloodmetals and sociodemographic and lifestyle factors. Bloodsamples from 653 nonsmoking blood donors without occupational exposure to the studied metals were collected in 2006. Our evaluations distinguished ayounger group (18-39 years) and an older group (40-65 years). RVs in the younger group were 60 Ţg Pb/L and 4 Ţg Hg/L for men and 47 Ţg Pb/L and 4 Ţg Hg/L for women. RVs in the older group were 80 Ţg Pb/L and 5 Ţg Hg/L for men and 63 Ţg Pb/L and 6 Ţg Hg/L for women. The RV for Cd was 0.6 Ţg/L for adultsaged 18-65 years. Pb and Cd levels demonstrated asignificant association with sex and age. Male blood contained 50% more Pb, and the older group exhibited 23% more Pb. Fish consumption and amalgam fillings were primarily related to Hg levels. RVs for lead were similar to the Czech Republic and Germany but higher than the US population. The RV for Cd in Brazil was well below the RVs of these countries. The RVs for Hg in Brazil were similar to the US but higher than Germany and the Czech Republic.Copyright ©2012 Elsevier GmbH.

description: Gum arabic (Acacia senegal) is a well known soluble dietary fiber and is regarded as the safest dietary fiber by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study examined the effect of Gum arabic supplementation on human subjects with type-2 diabetes mellitus and its complications by routine hematological and biochemical examinations. A clinical trial was conducted in forty participants with a daily supplement of gum arabic (10g/day), in a powdered form for a period of 16 weeks in a healthy subjects, pre-diabetics , patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and patients with diabetic nephropathy. The results obtained from all groups showed significant decrease in fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAc1), followed by significant decrease in total protein and uric acid concentration in the blood. Renal function was also improved after Gum arabic supplementation which was clear in all groups with significant decrease in blood urea nitrogen and creatinine concentration in diabetics and diabetic nephropathy patients.  All groups recorded overall health improvement. Thus, findings from the study revealed that Gum arabic supplementation had effects on type-2 diabetes mellitus patients and improved the prognosis of the disease.

After Maria: Everyday recovery from disaster
Creators: name: Sou, Gemma
name: Cei Douglas, John
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 441004
subject: Social change

description: BACKGROUND
Critical development studies reveal how popular culture and academic research often dehumanise disaster affected people (Lewis et al 2014, Tuck 2009). People are homogenised, and their personalities, voices, experiences, and personal agency are as they are portrayed as victims (Chouliaraki 2013). Tuck (2009) argues this represents a “damage-centred” approach to research on disaster-affected people. Tuck calls for “desire-based” research frameworks, whereby researchers represent the complexity and the self-determination of disaster-affected people’s lives in non-traditional formats.

CONTRIBUTION
‘After Maria’ is a comic that translates findings from my one-year ethnography about disasters in Puerto Rico. It provides an example of a “desire based” research framework that represents the heterogeneity of disaster-affected people because comics create denser representations of research participants and their contexts than in text alone (Sousanis 2018). The comic also contributes to comics that are set in the global south, which highlight the personal experiences of marginalized groups and highlight their political agency.

SIGNIFICANCE
The comic was funded by the University of Manchester Public Engagement Fund and published via the University of Manchester. It is available to download, and 2400 physical copies were distributed to educators in US, Puerto Rico, Colombia, UK, Australia, Netherlands, Hungary, Canada, Denmark amongst others. Featured in: Illustrating Anthropology exhibition at the Open Eye Gallery, U.K; Guardian newspaper, Bluedot Festival. The comic generated opportunities to speak on podcasts: Disasters Deconstructed; Geographies of Risk, and Ask the Geographer; Northumbria University, Institute of Postcolonial Studies, Peterloo Institute, Southwest Doctoral Partnership.
A Multi-factor Multi-level and Interaction based (M2I) Authentication Framework for Internet of Things (IoT) Applications

description: Existing authentication solutions proposed for Internet of Things (IoT) provide a single Level of Assurance (LoA) regardless of the sensitivity levels of the resources or interactions between IoT devices being protected. For effective (with adequate level of protection) and efficient (with as low overhead costs as possible) protections, it may be desirable to tailor the protection level in response to the sensitivity level of the resources, as a stronger protection level typically imposes a higher level of overheads costs. In this paper, we investigate how to facilitate multi-LoA authentication for IoT by proposing a multi-factor multi-level and interaction based (M2I) authentication framework. The framework implements LoA linked and interaction based authentication. Two interaction modes are investigated, P2P (Peer-to-Peer) and O2M (One-to-Many) via the design of two corresponding protocols. Evaluation results show that adopting the O2M interaction mode in authentication can cut communication cost significantly; compared with that of the Kerberos protocol, the O2M protocol reduces the communication cost by 42% ~ 45%. The protocols also introduce less computational cost. The P2P and O2M protocol, respectively, reduce the computational cost by 70% ~ 72% and 81% ~ 82% in comparison with that of Kerberos. Evaluation results also show that the two factor authentication option costs twice as much as that of the one-factor option.
Nutritional Quality of Purslane and its Crackers

Year: 2016

description: Purslane has been described as a power food of future because of its high nutritive and its anti-oxidant properties. Purslane, also, has a high content of phenols (179.89 mg/100gm). The radical scavenging activity (RSA) of purslane is high (89.23%). Linolenic acid (omega 3 fatty acid) was the most fatty acid abundant in purslane (44.29%). Therefore, in the current study, crackers were fortified with purslane by three levels of previously prepared puslane powder (5, 10 and 15%). The samples were evaluated with respect to the physicochemical characteristics and sensory properties. The addition of purslane significantly increased the protein, ash and fiber contents of crackers as the amount of purslane increased. Also, caused an increase in zinc and calcium content to almost two folds level and iron content to triple folds level. The total phenol , antioxidant, linolenic (omega 3 fatty acid) and linoleic acid content of the fortified crackers increased as the amount of purslane increased. The fortification with 5% purslane showed the most preferable crackers. Therefore, purslane could successfully be used to enrich crackers, giving alternative utilization opportunity to producers and healthy choice.

description: In this paper, we consider the finite time blow-up results for a parabolic equation coupled with superlinear source term and local linear boundary dissipation. Using a concavity argument, we derive the sufficient conditions for the solutions to blow up in finite time. In particular, we obtain the existence of finite time blow-up solutions with arbitrary high initial energy. We also derive the upper bound and lower bound of the blow up time.
