A comparative study of techniques for intrusion detection (2004)

Due to increasing incidents of cyber attacks and heightened concerns for cyber terrorism, implementing effective intrusion detection systems (IDSs) is an essential task for protecting cyber security--as well as physical security because of the great dependence on networked computers for the operational control of various infrastructures. Building effective IDSs, unfortunately, has remained an elusive goal owing to the great technical challenges involved; and applied AI techniques are increasingly being utilized in attempts to overcome the difficulties. This paper presents a comparative study of using support vector machines (SVMs), artificial neural networks (ANNs), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) and linear genetic programs (LGPs) for intrusion detection. We investigate and compare the performance of IDSs based on the mentioned techniques, with respect to a well-known set of intrusion evaluation data gathered by Lincoln Labs. Through a variety of experiments and analysis, it is found that, with appropriately chosen population size, program size, crossover rate and mutation rate, LGPs outperform other techniques in terms of detection accuracy at the expense of time. SVMs outperform MARS and ANNs in three critical aspects of intrusion detection: accuracy, training time, and testing time.
Factor complexity of infinite words associated with non-simple Parry\n numbers (2008)

The factor complexity of the infinite word $\\ubeta$ canonically associated to\na non-simple Parry number $\\beta$ is studied. Our approach is based on the\nnotion of special factors introduced by Berstel and Cassaigne. At first, we\ngive a handy method for determining infinite left special branches; this method\nis applicable to a broad class of infinite words which are fixed points of a\nprimitive substitution. In the second part of the article, we focus on infinite\nwords $\\ubeta$ only. To complete the description of its special factors, we\ndefine and study $(a,b)$-maximal left special factors. This enables us to\ncharacterize non-simple Parry numbers $\\beta$ for which the word $\\ubeta$ has\naffine complexity.\n
Quantitative Characterization of Grain Structure and Orientation using Electron Back-Scattered Diffraction Patterns Collected by Serial Sectioning (2005)

It is well-known that some parameters such as the true size, true shape, and connectivity of microstructural features cannot be determined from two dimensional (2-D) images This problem can be overcome if one can obtain a 3D volume representation of the material microstructure. In addition, many stereological calculations yield only average values to describe microstructural features, whereas characterizing the full distribution of these features may be of interest, especially for properties which are affected by the tails of the distribution. The need to more completely characterize microstructure has led to the development of new experimental and computational tools for characterizing microstructure in 3-D. This paper will present a methodology that allows one to calculate stereological parameters of grain structures from a series of two dimensional (2-D) electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) maps. The crystallographic maps were collected using a Dual Beam Focused Ion Beam-Scanning Electron Microscope (FIB-SEM) outfitted with an EBSD system [2,3]. This system was used to serial-section a fine-grained nickel-base superalloy via FIB-milling. An example data set consisted of sectioning a ~ 40 x 40 x 30 micron volume with an inter-slice thickness of 250 nanometers, and an EBSD map was collected for each section. Custom software scripts were developed to automate the serialsectioning and data collection process.
Collaborative Offloading for Distributed Mobile-Cloud Apps (2018)

Computation offloading has been widely used to improve the energy consumption and completion time for standalone apps in mobile-cloud platforms. However, existing approaches have not been designed for distributed mobile-cloud apps and, thus, they are unable to provide effective solutions for such apps that have job and device dependencies, specific to their distributed nature. This paper presents CASINO, a dynamic and collaborative computation offloading framework which employs distributed profiling, decision making, and job execution to achieve an optimized completion time of the distributed computation. CASINO's main component is its job scheduler that works in real-time and considers the global resource conditions and job/device dependencies in order to generate an optimized job schedule for a distributed app. We validated this scheduler by using simulated albeit realistic data. We also built a prototype of CASINO and evaluated it using a proof-of-concept distributed app. The results show that CASINO can significantly improve the computation latency when compared to solutions that execute all offloadable jobs on mobile devices or in the cloud.
Common Misconceptions About Professional Licensure (2012)

Although most health care professionals know that licensing boards can take disciplinary action against them for professional misconduct or gross negligence in clinical practice, nurses may not appreciate the true extent of authority the nursing boards maintain or the issues they address. This three-part series will discuss nursing disciplinary actions and provide tips for maintaining one's license in good standing. Part 1 discusses misconceptions nurses commonly have about licensure. Part 2 will discuss common reasons boards of nursing conduct investigations and take disciplinary action. Part 3 will be a discussion of strategies for protecting your license.

Cobalt-Catalyzed Arylative Cyclization of Acetylenic Esters and Ketones with Arylzinc Reagents through 1,4-Cobalt Migration (2016)

1,4-Migrations of organopalladium and organorhodium species have been utilized for the development of various cascade reactions involving remote C–H bond activation. Recently, we reported a cobalt-catalyzed migratory arylzincation reaction of an alkyne that features alkenyl-to-aryl 1,4-cobalt migration and cobalt-to-zinc transmetalation as key steps. We report herein that the cobalt/arylzinc combination can also promote a cascade arylative cyclization reaction of alkynes bearing pendant ester or ketone moieties to afford benzo-fused cyclic ketone or alcohol products, respectively. The reaction is considered to proceed through insertion of the alkyne into an arylcobalt species, 1,4-cobalt migration, and intramolecular organocobalt addition to the carbonyl group. The present cobalt/arylzinc system may not only serve as an alternative to previously reported rhodium/arylboron and iridium/arylboron systems but also complement their scopes in the arylative cyclization.
THE RELATION OF CERVICAL MUCUS PROTEINS TO SPERM PENETRABILITY (1970)

Summary An investigation correlating protein analyses of cervical mucus with sperm penetration tests and an assessment of consistency is presented. When the protein content was below 1·5 μg. per mg. of wet mucus and only albumin was present, sperm penetrability was optimal. When the protein content was greater than 12·5 μg. per mg. of wet mucus and transferrin and immunoglobulin were present in addition to albumin, sperm penetration was severely restricted. Protein analyses are proposed as a useful method of assessing cervical mucus function with particular reference to the effect of progestogens on the genital tract.
Building call graphs for embedded client-side code in dynamic web applications (2014)

When developing and maintaining a software system, programmers often rely on IDEs to provide editor services such as syntax highlighting, auto-completion, and "jump to declaration". In dynamic web applications, such tool support is currently limited to either the server-side code or to hand-written or generated client-side code. Our goal is to build a call graph for providing editor services on client-side code while it is still embedded as string literals within server-side code. First, we symbolically execute the server-side code to identify all possible client-side code variations. Subsequently, we parse the generated client-side code with all its variations into a VarDOM that compactly represents all DOM variations for further analysis. Based on the VarDOM, we build conditional call graphs for embedded HTML, CSS, and JS. Our empirical evaluation on real-world web applications show that our analysis achieves 100% precision in identifying call-graph edges. 62% of the edges cross PHP strings, and 17% of them cross files - in both situations, navigation without tool support is tedious and error prone.
Management of psychiatric issues in patients with intellectual disability. (2004)

The psychiatric treatment of people with intellectual disability and mental illness has progressed substantially. Not only have our interventions improved, the willingness and ability of psychiatrists to provide such care has grown enormously. Inclusion of psychiatric residents in this endeavor enhances the likelihood of future treatment interest by them as professionals in their own careers. Meaningful improvement in functional capacity and in reduction of symptom burden is achievable in most patients. Multiple levels of service delivery are adapted readily to care provision for this population when attention is paid to the environment of care and the education and training of staff is addressed. With greater attention now being paid to this population, continued improvement in the quality and capacity of service delivery is on the horizon.
A Microporous Metal‐Organic Framework Supramolecularly Assembled from a CuII Dodecaborate Cluster Complex for Selective Gas Separation (2019)

Abstract A novel 3D metal‐organic framework BSF‐1 based on the closo‐dodecaborate cluster [B 12 H 12 ] 2− was readily prepared at room temperature by supramolecular assembly of CuB 12 H 12 and 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)acetylene. The permanent microporous structure was studied by X‐ray crystallography, powder X‐ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and gas sorption. The experimental and theoretical study of the gas sorption behavior of BSF‐1 for N 2 , C 2 H 2 , C 2 H 4 , CO 2 , C 3 H 8 , C 2 H 6 , and CH 4 indicated excellent separation selectivities for C 3 H 8 /CH 4 , C 2 H 6 /CH 4 , and C 2 H 2 /CH 4 as well as moderately high separation selectivities for C 2 H 2 /C 2 H 4 , C 2 H 2 /CO 2 , and CO 2 /CH 4 . Moreover, the practical separation performance of C 3 H 8 /CH 4 and C 2 H 6 /CH 4 was confirmed by dynamic breakthrough experiments. The good cyclability and high water/thermal stability render it suitable for real industrial applications.
A Study on the Mechanical Property and 3D Fiber Distribution in Injection Molded Glass Fiber Reinforced PA66 (2014)

Abstract Polyamide66 (PA66) is being widely used for automobile part and other applications. In many cases, PA66 is reinforced with glass fiber to enhance its mechanical properties. In this study, the mechanical properties and glass fiber distributions in injection molded part have been investigated for glass fiber reinforced PA66. Two shapes of glass fibers, circular and flat, were used for the glass fiber reinforced PA66. X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) was used to observe the glass fiber distributions in the PA66 composites. Micro-CT photos were taken in three directions to observe the three-dimensional glass fiber distributions in the injection molded specimens. Investigation of the mechanical properties in relation to the glass fiber orientation revealed that the orientation of the fibers enhanced the mechanical properties. Glass fibers with smaller diameters resulted in better mechanical properties. Circular glass fiber reinforced PA66 exhibited better mechanical properties than flat glass fiber reinforced PA66. The skin layer showed that the glass fibers strongly orientated to the flow direction while glass fibers in the core layer orientated perpendicular to the flow direction because of fountain flows. Glass fibers in the core layer also oriented to the width direction of the flow. Consequently, glass fibers in this core region oriented three dimensionally. Full three-dimensional model of glass fiber orientation was proposed in this paper.
<title>Scattering of flexural waves of a symmetric piezoelectric laminated plate with a through crack</title> (1997)

Following the theory of linear piezoelectricity, we consider the dynamic bending of a cracked composite plate with attached piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride layers subjected to electric field loading and incident flexural waves. The input waves are generated by a combination of bending moments applied to the plate edge causing the plates to vibrate in the transverse direction, and the electric field and the poling direction are perpendicular to the plate surfaces. Fourier transforms are used to reduce the mixed boundary value problem to the solution of a pair of dual integral equations. The integral equations are further reduce to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. Numerical results are given for the dynamic moment intensity factor versus frequency for several values of the electric field and the geometrical parameters.
A theory of electrical circuits with resistively coupled distributed structures: delay time predicting (1988)

Qualitative properties (existence, uniqueness, and especially, stability) and numerical solution of a circuit consisting of a resistive multiport with r-c-g exactly modeled distributed elements connected to its terminals, are studied. These results are useful, for instance, when the effects of interconnections on the speed of the transient process in an integrated structure are studied. A formula to evaluate the delay time as a global parameter of the circuit is given and verified by numerical calculus.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Tumor regression during radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer patients using cone-beam computed tomography images (2019)

Abstract Purpose Previous literature has reported contradicting results regarding the relationship between tumor volume changes during radiotherapy treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and locoregional recurrence-free rate or overall survival. The aim of this study is to validate the results from a previous study by using a different volume extraction procedure and evaluating an external validation dataset. Methods For two datasets of 94 and 141 NSCLC patients, gross tumor volumes were determined manually to investigate the relationship between tumor volume regression and locoregional control using Kaplan–Meier curves. For both datasets, different subgroups of patients based on histology and chemotherapy regimens were also investigated. For the first dataset ( n = 94), automatically determined tumor volumes were available from a previously published study to further compare their correlation with updated clinical data. Results A total of 70 out of 94 patients were classified into the same group as in the previous publication, splitting the dataset based on median tumor regression calculated by the two volume extraction methods. Non-adenocarcinoma patients receiving concurrent chemotherapy with large tumor regression show reduced locoregional recurrence-free rates in both datasets ( p &lt; 0.05 in dataset 2). For dataset 2, the opposite behavior is observed for patients not receiving chemotherapy, which was significant for overall survival ( p = 0.01) but non-significant for locoregional recurrence-free rate ( p = 0.13). Conclusion The tumor regression pattern observed during radiotherapy is not only influenced by irradiation but depends largely on the delivered chemotherapy schedule, so it follows that the relationship between patient outcome and the degree of tumor regression is also largely determined by the chemotherapy schedule. This analysis shows that the relationship between tumor regression and outcome is complex, and indicates factors that could explain previously reported contradicting findings. This, in turn, will help guide future studies to fully understand the relationship between tumor regression and outcome.
Design and implementation of serializing method for non-procedural object transfer between JavaVMs (2011)

In a heterogeneous processing environment in a computer network where multiple PCs running JavaVM on them are connected to, it is very useful to make any class instance movable among any PCs. However, JavaVM can't inherently load and execute unknown classes dynamically which are not in the class path specified at startup of the JavaVM. In this research, we propose and develop a new mechanism to recognize and execute any unknown class dynamically by implementing a multi-tiered classloader, special object stream and dispatch mechanism for transferred objects. This proposed technology is useful and indispensable component technology for parallel distributed processing system based on mobile agent system with strong migration mobility. This technology makes it possible to implement various non-stop software services.
Closed loop registration control (RegC) using PROVE as the data source for the RegC process (2012)

At sub 4X nm nodes in memory and sub 3X nodes in logic devices mask registration (Reg) is becoming a significant yield limiting factor. This is especially true for Double Patterning Technologies (DPT) where mask to mask overlay on the wafer is heavily influenced by mask registration error. Getting advanced mask registration into specification is a challenge for all mask shops as the tight registration specs are driven by tight wafer overlay specs. The first step in meeting the registration spec challenge in the mask shop is to be able to measure registration with the required specifications. With PROVE&#174; Carl Zeiss SMS has recently introduced into the market a new registration and overlay metrology system which utilizes 193nm illumination for high resolution and a six axes controlled stage. The second step in meeting the registration spec challenge is to actively correct for intrinsic registration errors on the mask. For this Carl Zeiss SMS has developed the RegC&#174; tool. The RegC&#174; tool is based on writing strain zones with the help of an ultrashort pulse laser in the bulk of the mask. The strain zones induce deformations in the mask which practically push the misplaced features to a new location that after removing scale and orthogonality (S/O) correctable errors reflects a smaller residual registration error. By combining the RegC&#174; tool with data generated by PROVE&#174; it is possible to close the loop on the registration control process in the mask shop without wafer print or mask re-write. In this paper we report the demonstration results of a closed loop process between PROVE&#174; and the RegC&#174; tools.
A 128 $\times$ 128 Single-Photon Image Sensor With Column-Level 10-Bit Time-to-Digital Converter Array (2008)

An imager for time-resolved optical sensing was fabricated in CMOS technology. The sensor comprises an array of 128times128 single-photon pixels, a bank of 32 time-to-digital-converters, and a 7.68 Gbps readout system. Thanks to the outstanding timing precision of single-photon avalanche diodes and the optimized measurement circuitry, a typical resolution of 97 ps was achieved within a range of 100 ns. To the best of our knowledge, this imager is the first fully integrated system for photon time-of-arrival evaluation. Applications include 3-D imaging, optical rangefinding, fast fluorescence lifetime imaging, imaging of extremely fast phenomena, and, more generally, imaging based on time-correlated single photon counting. When operated as an optical rangefinder, this design has enabled us to reconstruct 3-D scenes with milimetric precisions in extremely low signal exposure. A laser source was used to illuminate the scene up to 3.75 m with an average power of 1 mW, a field-of-view of 5deg and under 150 lux of constant background light. Accurate distance measurements were repeatedly achieved based on a short integration time of 50 ms even when signal photon count rates as low as a few hundred photons per second were available.
The XXL survey: First results and future (2017)

The XXL survey currently covers two 25 deg 2 patches with XMM observations of ∼10 ks. We summarize the scientific results associated with the first release of the XXL dataset, which occurred in mid‐2016. We review several arguments for increasing the survey depth to 40 ks during the next decade of XMM operations. X‐ray ( z &lt; 2) cluster, ( z &lt; 4) active galactic nuclei ( AGN ), and cosmic background survey science will then benefit from an extraordinary data reservoir. This, combined with deep multi‐ λ observations, will lead to solid standalone cosmological constraints and provide a wealth of information on the formation and evolution of AGN , clusters, and the X‐ray background. In particular, it will offer a unique opportunity to pinpoint the z &gt; 1 cluster density. It will eventually constitute a reference study and an ideal calibration field for the upcoming eROSITA and Euclid missions.
Relaxation dynamics in bio-colloidal cholesteric liquid crystals confined to cylindrical geometry (2020)

Para-nematic phases, induced by unwinding chiral helices, spontaneously relax to a chiral ground state through phase ordering dynamics that are of great interest and crucial for applications such as stimuli-responsive and biomimetic engineering. In this work, we characterize the cholesteric phase relaxation behaviors of β-lactoglobulin amyloid fibrils and cellulose nanocrystals confined into cylindrical capillaries, uncovering two different equilibration pathways. The integration of experimental measurements and theoretical predictions reveals the starkly distinct underlying mechanism behind the relaxation dynamics of β-lactoglobulin amyloid fibrils, characterized by slow equilibration achieved through consecutive sigmoidal-like steps, and of cellulose nanocrystals, characterized by fast equilibration obtained through smooth relaxation dynamics. Particularly, the specific relaxation behaviors are shown to emerge from the order parameter of the unwound cholesteric medium, which depends on chirality and elasticity. The experimental findings are supported by direct numerical simulations, allowing to establish hard-to-measure viscoelastic properties without applying magnetic or electric fields.
Development of Autonomous Vehicle - Overview of Autonomous Driving Demonstration in ITS World Congress 2013 (2014)

Recently, fully automated autonomous vehicles have been developed, and field examinations in public road have also been conducted, especially in United States. In this paper, preparation of our laboratory toward field examination of the autonomous vehicle is reported. Additionally, overview of demonstration in the ITS world Congress 2013 (ITSWC2013) is reported.
