description: Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have emerged as a key technology for the next generation of wireless networking due to its self-forming, self-organizing and self-healing properties. However, due to the multi-hop nature of communications in WMN, we cannot assume that all nodes in the network are cooperative. Nodes may drop all of the data packets they received to mount a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. In this paper, we proposed a lightweight trust detection mechanism called Trusted Entropy and Dempster Shafer (TEDS) to mitigate the effects of blackhole attacks. This novel idea combines entropy function and Dempster Shafer belief theory to derive a trust rating for a node. If the trust rating of a node is less than a threshold, it will be blacklisted and isolated from the network. In this way, the network can be assured of a secure end to end path free of malicious nodes for data forwarding. Our proposed idea has been extensively tested in simulation using network simulator NS-3 and simulation results show that we are able to improve the packet delivery ratio with slight increase in normalized routing overhead.

description: The phenomenon of pulsar nulling -- where pulsars occasionally turn off for one or more pulses -- provides insight into pulsar-emission mechanisms and the processes by which pulsars turn off when they cross the "death line." However, while ever more pulsars are found that exhibit nulling behavior, the statistical techniques used to measure nulling are biased, with limited utility and precision. In this paper we introduce an improved algorithm, based on Gaussian mixture models, for measuring pulsar nulling behavior. We demonstrate this algorithm on a number of pulsars observed as part of a larger sample of nulling pulsars, and show that it performs considerably better than existing techniques, yielding better precision and no bias. We further validate our algorithm on simulated data. Our algorithm is widely applicable to a large number of pulsars even if they do not show obvious nulls. Moreover, it can be used to derive nulling probabilities of nulling for individual pulses, which can be used for in-depth studies.

description: We have used the high-resolution data of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission dayside phase to identify twenty-one previously unreported encounters with the electron diffusion region (EDR), as evidenced by electron agyrotropy, ion jet reversals, and j dot E greater than 0. Three of the new EDR encounters, which occurred within a one-minute-long interval on November 23rd, 2016, are analyzed in detail. These events, which resulted from a relatively low and oscillating magnetopause velocity, contained large electric fields (several tens to hundreds of milliVolts per meter), crescent-shaped electron velocity phase space densities, large currents (greater than 2 microAmperes per square meter), and Ohmic heating of the plasma (near or exceeding 10 nanoWatts per cubic meter). Because of the slow in-and-out motion of the magnetopause, two of these events show the unprecedented mixture of perpendicular and parallel crescents, indicating the first breaking and reconnecting of solar wind and magnetospheric field lines. An extended list of thirty-two EDR or near-EDR events is also included, and demonstrates a wide variety of observed plasma behavior inside and surrounding the reconnection site.

description: Aural and visual cues can be automatically extracted from video and used to index its contents. This paper explores the relative merits of the cues extracted from the different modalities for locating relevant shots in video, specifically reporting on the indexing and interface strategies used to retrieve information from the Video TREC 2002 and 2003 data sets, and the evaluation of the interactive search runs. For the documentary and news material in these sets, automated speech recognition produces rich textual descriptions derived from the narrative, with visual descriptions and depictions offering additional browsing functionality. Through speech and visual processing, storyboard interfaces with query-based filtering provide an effective interactive retrieval interface. Examples drawn from the Video TREC 2002 and 2003 search topics and results using these topics illustrate the utility of multiple-document storyboards and other interfaces incorporating the results of multimodal processing.

description: The study evaluated the effects of different concentrations of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) on the growth and development of banana (Musa acuminata.) plantlets in tissue culture over 30 days. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed in plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, root number, root length, and survival rate across the six treatments (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6). The tallest plants were recorded in T5 (149.1 ± 0.87 mm), followed by T1 (145.0 ± 0.82 mm). T5 also exhibited the highest number of leaves (16.3 ± 1.53), while T6 produced the longest leaves (17.1 ± 0.15 mm). The highest root formation was observed in T6 (12.33 ± 0.58 roots), and the longest root length was also recorded in T6 (17.23 ± 0.25 mm), indicating that an increased IAA concentration enhanced root development. However, the number of stems did not significantly differ among treatments (p > 0.05). The highest survival rate was observed in T4 (99.30 ± 0.61%), whereas T6 exhibited the lowest survival rate (41.18 ± 1.12%). The results suggest that T5 and T4 were the most effective treatments for promoting plant growth and survival in banana tissue culture, whereas excessive IAA concentration negatively affected plantlet viability. These findings provide insights into optimizing hormone combinations for in vitro propagation of banana plantlets.

description: Web-based notification services are used by a large range of businesses to selectively distribute live updates to customers, following the publish/subscribe (pub/sub) model. Typical deployments can involve millions of subscribers expecting ordering and delivery guarantees together with low latencies. Notification services must be vertically and horizontally scalable, and adopt replication to provide a reliable service. We report our experience building and operating MigratoryData, a highly-scalable notification service. We discuss the typical requirements of MigratoryData customers, and describe the architecture and design of the service, focusing on scalability and fault tolerance. Our evaluation demonstrates the ability of MigratoryData to handle millions of concurrent connections and support a reliable notification service despite server failures and network disconnections.

description: Video understanding is a computationally challenging task that is critical not only for traditionally throughput-oriented applications such as search but also latency-sensitive interactive applications such as surveillance, gaming, videoconferencing, and vision-based user interfaces. Enabling these types of video processing applications will require not only new algorithms and techniques, but new runtime systems that optimize latency as well as throughput. In this paper, we present a runtime system called Sprout that achieves low latency by exploiting the parallelism inherent in video understanding applications. We demonstrate the utility of our system on an activity recognition application that employs a robust new descriptor called MoSIFT, which explicitly augments appearance features with motion information. MoSIFT outperforms previous recognition techniques, but like other state-of-the-art techniques, it is computationally expensive -- a sequential implementation runs 100 times slower than real time. We describe the implementation of the activity recognition application on Sprout, and show that it can accurately recognize activities at full frame rate (25 fps) and low latency on a challenging airport surveillance video corpus.

description: We show that the particle density, $ρ(\mathbf{r})$, and the paramagnetic current density, $\mathbf{j}^{p}(\mathbf{r})$, are not sufficient to determine the set of degenerate ground-state wave functions. This is a general feature of degenerate systems where the degenerate states have different angular momenta. We provide a general strategy for constructing Hamiltonians that share the same ground state density, yet differ in degree of degeneracy. We then provide a fully analytical example for a noninteracting system subject to electrostatic potentials and uniform magnetic fields. Moreover, we prove that when $(ρ,\mathbf{j}^p)$ is ensemble $(v,\mathbf{A})$-representable by a mixed state formed from $r$ degenerate ground states, then any Hamiltonian $H(v',\mathbf{A}')$ that shares this ground state density pair must have at least $r$ degenerate ground states in common with $H(v,\mathbf{A})$. Thus, any set of Hamiltonians that shares a ground-state density pair $(ρ,\mathbf{j}^p)$ by necessity has at least have one joint ground state.

description: An R-algebra A is called E(R)-algebra if the canonical homomorphism from A to the endomorphism algebra End_RA of the R-module {}_R A, taking any a in A to the right multiplication a_r in End_R A by a is an isomorphism of algebras. In this case {}_R A is called an E(R)-module. E(R)-algebras come up naturally in various topics of algebra, so it's not surprising that they were investigated thoroughly in the last decade. Despite some efforts it remained an open question whether proper generalized E(R)-algebras exist. These are R-algebras A isomorphic to End_R A but not under the above canonical isomorphism, so not E(R)-algebras. This question was raised about 30 years ago (for R=Z) by Phil Schultz and we will answer it. For PIDs R of characteristic 0 that are neither quotient fields nor complete discrete valuation rings - we will establish the existence of generalized E(R)-algebras. It can be shown that E(R)-algebras over rings R that are complete discrete valuation rings or fields must trivial (copies of R). The main tool is an interesting connection between lambda-calculus (used in theoretical computer sciences) and algebra. It seems reasonable to divide the work into two parts, in this paper we will work in V=L (Godel universe) hence stronger combinatorial methods make the final arguments more transparent. The proof based entirely on ordinary set theory (the axioms of ZFC) will appear in a subsequent paper.

description: Abstract: "Access control to sensitive information available in pervasive computing environments is challenging for multiple reasons: First, access control must support flexible access rights that include context-based constraints. Second, a client requesting access to sensitive information might not know which of its access rights are necessary in order to be granted access to the requested information. Third, pervasive computing environments consist of a multitude of information services, which makes simple management of access rights essential. Given this setting, we discuss the shortcomings of existing access control schemes that rely either on information services encrypting sensitive information before handing it over to clients or on clients presenting a proof of access to a service before being granted access. To address these shortcomings, we develop a solution based on heirarchical identity-based encryption. Namely, we present an encryption-based access control architecture that exploits hierarchical identity-based encryption in order to deal with multiple, hierarchical constraints on access rights. Furthermore, we introduce a proof-based access control architecture that employs hierarchical identity-based encryption in order to enable services to inform clients of the required proof of access in a covert way, without leaking information. We present an example implementation of our proposed schemes and discuss its performance."

description: We describe the emergence of strong spatial correlations, akin to liquid-like behavior and crystallization effects, in low (one and two) dimensional gases of cold Rydberg atoms. The presence of an external electric field permanently polarizes the atoms, which became highly correlated due to the long-range dipole-dipole interaction. We describe a theoretical approach particularly suited for strongly coupled systems and numerically obtain both the two-particle distribution function and the static structure factor. The experimental implementation of such highly interacting systems is discussed, including detailed calculations of the interaction strength for different Rydberg states. The results provide new insights into many-body effects associated with strongly interacting Rydberg atoms, including the possibility of observing novel highly ordered phases.

description: This paper proves limit theorems for the number of monochromatic edges in uniform random colorings of general random graphs. These can be seen as generalizations of the birthday problem (what is the chance that there are two friends with the same birthday?). It is shown that if the number of colors grows to infinity, the asymptotic distribution is either a Poisson mixture or a Normal depending solely on the limiting behavior of the ratio of the number of edges in the graph and the number of colors. This result holds for any graph sequence, deterministic or random. On the other hand, when the number of colors is fixed, a necessary and sufficient condition for asymptotic normality is determined. Finally, using some results from the emerging theory of dense graph limits, the asymptotic (non-normal) distribution is characterized for any converging sequence of dense graphs. The proofs are based on moment calculations which relate to the results of Erd\H os and Alon on extremal subgraph counts. As a consequence, a simpler proof of a result of Alon, estimating the number of isomorphic copies of a cycle of given length in graphs with a fixed number of edges, is presented.

The simplest example is given by the tau function of the Fuji-Suzuki-Tsuda system, expressed as a Fourier transform of the 4-point conformal block with respect to intermediate weight. Along the way, we generalize the result of Bowcock and Watts on the minimal set of matrix elements of vertex operators of the $W_N$-algebra for generic central charge and prove several properties of semi-degenerate vertex operators and conformal blocks for $c=N-1$.

description: Determination of pulsar parallaxes and proper motions addresses fundamental astrophysical open issues. Here, the ATNF Catalog is scrutinized searching for pulsar distances and proper motions. For a sample of 212 run away pulsars (RAPs), which currently run across the Galaxy at very high speed and undergo large displacements, some gravitational-wave (GW) signals produced by such present accelerations appear to be detectable after calibration against the Advanced LIGO (LIGO II). Motivated by this insight, we address the issue of the pulsar kick at birth. We show that during the short rise fling each run away pulsar (RAP) generates a GW signal with characteristic amplitude and frequency that makes it detectable by current GW interferometers. For a realistic analysis, an efficiency parameter is introduced to quantify the expenditure of the rise fling kinetic energy, which is estimated from the linear momentum conservation law applied to the supernova explosion that kicks out the pulsar. The remaining energy is supposed to be used to make the star to spin. Thus, a comparison with the spin of ATNF pulsars having velocity in the interval 400-500 km s$^{-1}$ is performed. The resulting difference suggests that other mechanisms should dissipate part of that energy to produce the observed pulsar spin periods. Meanwhile, the kick phenomenon may also occur in globular and open star clusters at the formation or disruption of very short period compact binary systems wherein abrupt velocity and acceleration similar to those given to RAPs during the short rise fling can be imparted to each orbital partner. Thus pulsar astrometry from micro- to nano-arsec scales might be of much help. In case of a supernova, the RAP GW signal could be a benchmark for the GW signal from the core collapse.

Background

Total energy expenditure (TEE) determines energy requirements, but objective data in patients with cancer are limited.

Objectives

We aimed to characterize TEE, investigate its predictors, and compare TEE with cancer-specific predicted energy requirements.

Methods

This cross-sectional analysis included patients with stages II–IV colorectal cancer from the Protein Recommendation to Increase Muscle (PRIMe) trial. TEE was assessed by 24-h stay in a whole-room indirect calorimeter before dietary intervention and compared with cancer-specific predicted energy requirements (25–30 kcal/kg). Generalized linear models, paired-samples t tests, and Pearson correlation were applied.

Results

Thirty-one patients (56 ± 10 y; body mass index [BMI]: 27.9 ± 5.5 kg/m2; 68% male) were included. Absolute TEE was higher in males (mean difference: 391 kcal/d; 95% CI: 167, 616 kcal/d; P < 0.001), patients with colon cancer (mean difference: 279 kcal/d; 95% CI: 73, 485 kcal/d; P = 0.010), and patients with obesity (mean difference: 393 kcal/d; 95% CI: 182, 604 kcal/d; P < 0.001). Appendicular lean soft tissue (β: 46.72; 95% CI: 34.27, 59.17; P < 0.001) and tumor location (colon—β: 139.69; 95% CI: 19.44, 259.95; P = 0.023) independently predicted TEE when adjusted for sex. Error between measured TEE and energy requirements predicted by 25 kcal/kg (mean difference: 241 kcal/d; 95% CI: 76, 405 kcal/d; P = 0.010) or 30 kcal/kg (mean difference: 367 kcal/d; 95% CI: 163, 571 kcal/d; P < 0.001) was higher for patients with obesity, and proportional error was observed (25 kcal/kg: r = −0.587; P < 0.001; and 30 kcal/kg: r = −0.751; P < 0.001). TEE (mean difference: 25 kcal/kg; 95% CI: 24, 27 kcal/kg) was below predicted requirements using 30 kcal/kg (−430 ± 322 kcal/d; P < 0.001).

Conclusions

This is the largest study to assess TEE of patients with cancer using whole-room indirect calorimeter and highlights the need for improved assessment of energy requirements in this population. Energy requirements predicted using 30 kcal/kg overestimated TEE by 1.44 times in a controlled sedentary environment and TEE was outside of the predicted requirement range for most. Special considerations are warranted when determining TEE of patients with colorectal cancer, such as BMI, body composition, and tumor location.

In this paper we implement this index to measure long-term activity variations and the statistical properties of the index in a sample of 302 solar-type stars from the HARPS planet search program. The results indicate a pattern of change in star's activity, covers a range of periods from 2 years up to 17 years.

description: Multi-wavelength imaging polarimetry at far-infrared wavelengths has proven to be an excellent tool for studying the physical properties of dust, molecular clouds, and magnetic fields in the interstellar medium. Although these wavelengths are only observable from airborne or space-based platforms, no first-generation instrument for the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) is presently designed with polarimetric capabilities. We study several options for upgrading the High-resolution Airborne Wideband Camera (HAWC) to a sensitive FIR polarimeter. HAWC is a 12 x 32 pixel bolometer camera designed to cover the 53 - 215 micron spectral range in 4 colors, all at diffraction-limited resolution (5 - 21 arcsec). Upgrade options include: (1) an external set of optics which modulates the polarization state of the incoming radiation before entering the cryostat window; (2) internal polarizing optics; and (3) a replacement of the current detector array with two state-of-the-art superconducting bolometer arrays, an upgrade of the HAWC camera as well as polarimeter. We discuss a range of science studies which will be possible with these upgrades including magnetic fields in star-forming regions and galaxies and the wavelength-dependence of polarization.

description: Das veränderte Einkaufs- und Konsumverhalten vieler Kunden stellt den Einzelhandel vor große Herausforderungen. Dabei scheint besonders die junge Generation Z, die mit dem Internet, sozialen Medien und digitalen Anwendungen aufgewachsen ist, nicht mehr den traditionellen Konsummustern zu entsprechen und erwartet eine Anpassung des Einzelhandels an ihre Bedürfnisse. Um herauszufinden, welche Anforderungen junge Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten an den Einzelhandel stellen und wie sich diese zwischen verschiedenen Generationen unterscheiden, wurden mehr als 300 Personen aller Altersgruppen befragt. Zu den Schwerpunkten der Untersuchung zählten das Einkaufsverhalten, die Personalisierung von Kommunikation und Angeboten sowie die Nutzung digitaler Services und Technologien im Einzelhandel.

description: With the continued scaling of microelectronic devices along with the growing demand of high-speed wireless telecommunications technologies, there is increasing need for high-frequency device modeling techniques that accurately capture the quantum mechanical nature of charge transport in nanoscale devices along with the dynamic fields that are generated. In an effort to fill this gap, we develop a simulation methodology that self-consistently couples AC non-equilibrium Green functions (NEGF) with the full solution of Maxwell's equations in the frequency domain. We apply this technique to simulate radiation from a quantum-confined, quarter-wave, monopole antenna where the length $L$ is equal to one quarter of the wavelength, $λ_0$. Classically, such an antenna would have a narrower, more directed radiation pattern compared to one with $L \ll λ_0$, but we find that a quantum quarter-wave antenna has no directivity gain compared to the classical solution. We observe that the quantized wave function within the antenna significantly alter the charge and current density distribution along the length of the wire, which in turn modifies the far-field radiation pattern from the antenna. These results show that high-frequency radiation from quantum systems can be markedly different from classical expectations. Our method, therefore, will enable accurate modeling of the next generation of high-speed nanoscale electronic devices.

description: Introduction Decreased physical fitness and inferior physical performance are risk factors and potentially life threatening in the combat situation. To examine the effect of Vitamin D on physical performance a prospective longitudinal 10-month study of young male conscripts in the Estonian Army was designed. The hypothesis of the study was, that severe deficiency of Vitamin D has a negative effect on physical performance. Materials All conscripts (n = 410) entering the 10-month military service in July 2015 at the Kuperjanov Battalion were asked to participate. A total of 98 male conscripts volunteered to participate initially. Study design and data collection A prospective longitudinal study with a 10-month follow-up period was performed. The Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) test was performed three times, the hand grip strength and blood serum values of 25(OH)D, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium (Ca) were measured four times. Results A significant decrease in the levels of 25(OH)D compared with the baseline values were found, with a lowest mean value of 31.9 nmol/l in March 2016 (p < 0.001). No significant differences were found in the serum Ca levels. In March 2016 the PTH value was significantly higher in severe deficiency group (p=0.02). No significant differences were found in terms of the APFT and the handgrip strength in conscripts with severe deficiency of 25(OH)D compared with values > 25nmol/L. Discussion The main finding of the present study was that severe deficiency of 25(OH)D were common among male conscripts during the winter season, but had no negative effect on physical performance in terms of the APFT test and hand grip strength test. Conclusion Severe deficiency of Vitamin D during the winter season are common but have no negative effect on physical performance in young physically active men in military service.

description: Nanocapsules (NCS-DOX) with an oily core of selol and a shell of poly(methyl vinyl ether-co-maleic anhydride) covalently conjugated to doxorubicin were developed. These nanocapsules are spherical, with an average hydrodynamic diameter of about 170 nm, and with negative zeta potential. NCS-DOX effectively co-delivered the selol and the doxorubicin into 4T1 cells and changed the intracellular distribution of DOX from the nuclei to the mitochondria. Moreover, a significantly increased cytotoxicity against 4T1 cells was observed, which is suggestive of additive or synergic effect of selol and doxorubicin. In conclusion, PVM/MA nanocapsules are suitable platforms to co-deliver drugs into cancer cells.

description: We demonstrate and characterize a source of Li atoms made from direct metal laser sintered titanium. The source's outgassing rate is measured to be $5 \,(2)\cdot 10^{-7}$\,$\rm{Pa}~ \rm{L}~ \rm{s}^{-1}$ at a temperature $T=330\,^\circ$C, which optimizes the number of atoms loaded into a magneto-optical trap. The source loads $\approx 10^7$ $^7$Li atoms in the trap in $\approx 1$\,s. The loaded source weighs 700\,mg and is suitable for a number of deployable sensors based on cold atoms.

description: Abstract: "In a typical speech recognition system, computing the match between an incoming acoustic string and many competing models is computationally expensive. Once the highest ranking models are identified, all other match scores are discarded. We propose to make use of all computed scores by means of statistical inference. We view the match between an incoming acoustic string s and a model M[subscript i] as a random variable Y[subscript i]. The class-conditional distributions of (Y,...,Y[subscript N]) can be studied offline by sampling, and then used in a variety of ways. For example, the means of these distributions give rise to a natural measure of distance between models.One of the most useful applications of these distributions is as a basis for a new Bayesian classifier. The latter can be used to significantly reduce search effort in large vocabularies, and to quickly obtain a short list of candidate words. An example HMM-based system shows promising results."

description: Control of complex processes is a major goal of network analyses. Most approaches to control nonlinearly coupled systems require the network topology and/or network dynamics. Unfortunately, neither the full set of participating nodes nor the network topology is known for many important systems. On the other hand, system responses to perturbations are often easily measured. We show how the collection of such responses (a response surface) can be used for network control. Analyses of model systems show that response surfaces are smooth and hence can be approximated using low order polynomials. Importantly, these approximations are largely insensitive to stochastic fluctuations in data or measurement errors. They can be used to compute how a small set of nodes need to be altered in order to direct the network close to a pre-specified target state. These ideas, illustrated on a nonlinear electrical circuit, can prove useful in many contexts including in reprogramming cellular states.
