Identity Federations Beyond the Web: A Survey (2014)

Internet service providers have, in recent years, adopted identity federation technologies with a high degree of success. A typical Internet user will regularly use these in her daily use of the Internet, even if she does not notice it. For example, she will use these technologies when publishing a picture in Flickr, when sharing it with her friends in her Facebook wall, when she performs a roaming telephone call over the 3G network, or when she obtains access to the eduroam network at her university. Until recently, identity federation technologies were mainly applicable to web and network access services. However, the proliferation of new emerging infrastructures, such as the cloud and grids, is motivating service providers to consider new solutions capable of satisfying identity federation for any almost kind of Internet service (SSH, NFS, SMTP, Cloud, Grid, etc.). This has been called identity federation beyond the Web. International projects and standardization bodies have also been considering ways to satisfy this urgent need. This paper describes the unmet requirement for federating any other kind of (non-Web-based) Internet service. In particular, it provides a detailed survey of the two main proposals, i.e., Application Bridging for Federated Access Beyond Web (ABFAB) and Federated Kerberos (FedKERB), which are currently discussed to provide a solution for this new type of federation, known as Identity Federations beyond the Web. Finally, this paper shows a fair comparison between both alternatives.

Bus-pin-aware bus-driven floorplanning (2010)

As the number of buses increase substantially in multi-core SoC designs, the bus planning problem has become the dominant factor in determining the performance and power consumption of SoC designs. To cope with the bus planning problem, it is desirable to consider this issue in early floorplanning stage. Recently, bus-driven floorplanning problem has attracted much attention in the literature. However, current algorithms adopt an over-simplified formulation ignoring the position and orientation of the bus pins may deteriorate the chip performance. In this paper, we propose the bus-driven floorplanning algorithm that fully considers the impacts of bus pins. By fully utilizing the position and orientation of bus pins, bus bendings are not restricted to occur at the modules on the bus that have more flexibilities in bus routing. With more flexibilities in the shapes of buses, the size of the solution space is increased and a better bus-driven floorplanning solution can be obtained. Compared with the state-of-the-art bus-driven floorplanner [5], the experimental results show that our algorithm performs better in runtime by 3.5x, success rate by 1.2x, wirelength by 1.8x, and reduced the deadspace by 1.2x.
The Human Difference: Animals, Computers, and the Necessity of Social Science. (1994)

This critique of modern American intellectual life examines the antihumanism underlying many contemporary academic trends and calls for a return to a moral and humanistic social science in which the qualities that distinguish humans as a species are given full rein.
Applying mixed methods under the framework of theory‐driven evaluations (1997)

Abstract The application of mixed methods under the framework of theory‐driven evaluations can minimize the potential tension and conflict of mixing qualitative and quantitative methods, as well as compensate for each method's weaknesses. Mixed methods should not be applied indiscriminantly, however, but rather contingently under particular conditions as described in this chapter.
Reframing arguments about the value of contemporary dance: Putting creativity at the centre of dance practice, policy and education (2009)

This paper is based on the eighth Ausdance Peggy Van Praagh Memorial Address, which I delivered at the World Dance Alliance Global Summit in Brisbane in July in 2008. It extends the arguments about the value of contemporary dance to Australia put forward in that address and frames them within the context of an increasingly prevalent creative industries discourse. At one level, the major challenge for contemporary dance is the same as all other performing arts sectors. It can be described in a single word: sustainability. The challenges of sustainability for contemporary dance spans education, policy, and cultural attitudes towards dance. Drawing upon accounts of contemporary dance as they are expressed in policy and academia, I argue that the notion of creativity should be at the centre of future debates about the value of contemporary dance. In this respect, I am arguing that we need to take a broad-based approach to the sustainability of contemporary dance and leverage creative industries discourse to promote the value of contemporary dance for its intrinsic, cultural, and economic benefits.
Toward supramolecular architectures of the anti-HIV drug lamivudine: understanding the effect of the inclusion of water in a hydrochloride form (2012)

Two salts of the anti-HIV drug lamivudine, namely, lamivudine hydrochloride and lamivudine hydrochloride monohydrate, were prepared for the first time. Structural relationships and the role of water in crystal assembly and lamivudine conformation were established and allowed for a rational approach to understand how solid state properties could be changed by engineering new salts of the drug.
Molecular Epidemiology and Evolution of Enterovirus 71 Strains Isolated from 1970 to 1998 (1999)

Enterovirus 71 (EV71) (genus Enterovirus, family Picornaviridae), a common cause of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), may also cause severe neurological diseases, such as encephalitis and poliomyelitis-like paralysis. To examine the genetic diversity and rate of evolution of EV71, we have determined and analyzed complete VP1 sequences (891 nucleotides) for 113 EV71 strains isolated in the United States and five other countries from 1970 to 1998. Nucleotide sequence comparisons demonstrated three distinct EV71 genotypes, designated A, B, and C. The genetic variation within genotypes (12% or fewer nucleotide differences) was less than the variation between genotypes (16.5 to 19.7%). Strains of all three genotypes were at least 94% identical to one another in deduced amino acid sequence. The EV71 prototype strain, BrCr-CA-70, isolated in California in 1970, is the sole member of genotype A. Strains isolated in the United States and Australia during the period from 1972 to 1988, a 1994 Colombian isolate, and isolates from a large HFMD outbreak in Malaysia in 1997 are all members of genotype B. Although strains of genotype B continue to circulate in other parts of the world, none have been isolated in the United States since 1988. Genotype C contains strains isolated in 1985 or later in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the Republic of China. The annual rate of evolution within both the B and C genotypes was estimated to be approximately 1.35 x 10(-2) substitutions per nucleotide and is similar to the rate observed for poliovirus. The results indicate that EV71 is a genetically diverse, rapidly evolving virus. Its worldwide circulation and potential to cause severe disease underscore the need for additional surveillance and improved methods to identify EV71 in human disease.
Tracking by Third-Order Tensor Representation (2010)

This paper proposes a robust tracking algorithm by third-order tensor representation and adaptive appearance modeling. In this method, the target in each video frame is represented by a third-order tensor. This representation preserves the spatial correlation inside the target region and can integrate multiple appearance cues for target description. Based on this representation, a multilinear subspace is learned online to model the target appearance variations during tracking. Compared to other methods, our approach can detect local spatial structure in the target tensor space and fuse information from different feature spaces. Therefore, the learned appearance model is more discriminative when there are significant appearance variations of the target or when the background gets cluttered. Applying the multilinear algebra, our appearance model can efficiently be learned and updated online, without causing high-dimensional data-learning problems. Then, tracking is implemented in the Bayesian inference framework, where a likelihood model is defined to measure the similarity between a test sample and the learned appearance model, and a particle filter is used to recursively estimate the target state over time. Theoretic analysis and experiments compared with other state-of-the-art methods demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
LUCID: The data flow programming language (1985)

Lucid is a functional language, but one which supports variables, i.e. values which change with time. Lucid programmers can therefore use iteration (repetition) as well as recursion. The statements of a Lucid program are equations which can be thought of as defining a network of processors and communication lines. Lucid's dataflow approach to programming has more in common with that of the UNIX (TM) shell, with its filters and pipelines, than with the imperative, one-step-at-a-time approach of a conventional language like C or Pascal.
Second messenger modulation of the asialoglycoprotein receptor. (1990)

Post-transcriptional regulation of the asialoglyco-protein receptor (ASGR) in the HepG2 cell line can be mediated by the presence of biotin in the culture medium. To determine if the induction by biotin of intracellular cGMP affects ASGR expression, HepG2 were grown in biotin-depleted medium with the cell-permeant 8-bromo-cGMP (8-Br-cGMP). Both cell-surface and total ASGR binding of iodinated asialoorosomucoid (125I-ASOR) was increased from 30 to 95% of control levels by the addition of increasing concentrations of 8-Br-cGMP. The rate of ASGR-mediated endocytosis of 125I-ASOR also increased with increasing concentrations of 8-Br-cGMP. Estimates of the steady state levels of ASGR by transblot analysis utilizing both antisera to affinity-purified ASGR and to isoform-specific antibodies prepared against synthetic peptides confirmed that the increase in 125I-ASOR binding was due to an increase in ASGR expression. Metabolic labeling of biotin-deprived HepG2 with [35S] cysteine and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of immunoprecipitants revealed an increase of radiolabeled ASGR within 30 min of the addition of 8-Br-cGMP. Induction of cGMP by atrial natriuretic factor also increased the metabolic labeling of ASGR. ASGR expression in a second hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, HuH-7, responded in a similar fashion to the addition of 8-Br-cGMP. In contrast to 8-Br-cGMP, exposure to 8-bromo-cAMP results in a reduction of ASGR expression even in the presence of biotin-containing medium. The antagonistic roles of cGMP and cAMP suggest a balance between cyclic nucleotides is required for the maintenance of differentiated functions by the hepatocyte.
Evaporation‐Induced Coating and Self‐Assembly of Ordered Mesoporous Carbon‐Silica Composite Monoliths with Macroporous Architecture on Polyurethane Foams (2008)

Abstract A facile approach of solvent‐evaporation‐induced coating and self‐assembly is demonstrated for the mass preparation of ordered mesoporous carbon‐silica composite monoliths by using a polyether polyol‐based polyurethane (PU) foam as a sacrificial scaffold. The preparation is carried out using resol as a carbon precursor, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as a silica source and Pluronic F127 triblock copolymer as a template. The PU foam with its macrostructure provides a large, 3D, interconnecting interface for evaporation‐induced coating of the phenolic resin‐silica block‐copolymer composites and self‐assembly of the mesostructure, and endows the composite monoliths with a diversity of macroporous architectures. Small‐angle X‐ray scattering, X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy results indicate that the obtained composite monoliths have an ordered mesostructure with 2D hexagonal symmetry ( p6m ) and good thermal stability. By simply changing the mass ratio of the resol to TEOS over a wide range (10–90%), a series of ordered, mesoporous composite foams with different compositions can be obtained. The composite monoliths with hierarchical macro/mesopores exhibit large pore volumes (0.3–0.8 cm 3 g −1 ), uniform pore sizes (4.2–9.0 nm), and surface areas (230–610 m 2 g −1 ). A formation process for the hierarchical porous composite monoliths on the struts of the PU foam through the evaporation‐induced coating and self‐assembly method is described in detail. This simple strategy performed on commercial PU foam is a good candidate for mass production of interface‐assembly materials.
Cable rating methods applied to a real-time cable system monitor (1993)

The authors outline how the National Grid Company (NGC) has a national scheme to provide cable system monitors (CSMs) installed in its area control centres. The CSMs provide online continuous and overload thermal ratings of cables based on system measurements and real-time thermal modelling, and enable the control engineers to assess the present security of the system and plan the operation of the system for the next day or possibly the following week. The CSM also holds archive data for retrieval and subsequent analysis.

Cloud Investigations of Illegal IPTV Networks (2018)

Kodi software has gained much attention in recent years due to its powerful capabilities for streaming legal and illegal media sources. This has led to numerous court cases and media reports around piracy and copyright infringement. This paper examines some of the most popular Kodi video addons on a Raspberry Pi 3 running Open Source Media Center (OSMC). There are a variety of different roles involved in the Kodi community such as normal users, addon authors and distributors. This paper identifies and defines these key roles. It looks at the relationships between addons and their authors and distributors. It shows how cloud evidence can be used to connect devices to the addon distributors. It further investigates the networks found among these authors and distributors using GraphQL in the GitHub cloud.

Vitamin C and vitamin E — synergistic interactions in vivo? (1992)

The synergistic relationship between ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) in the inhibition of lipid peroxidation has been known for some time and is now well established in vitro systems. The possibility that ascorbic acid may also reduce tocopheroxyl radicals in vivo is a subject of some interest and speculation. Although not all experiments have failed to suggest a synergistic antioxidant interaction, recent data indicate that the postulated synergism between these vitamins might be relatively unimportant compared with other metabolic processes.
Hepato-protective Effect of Clove Bud Polyphenols (Syzygium aromaticum L.) (Clovinol®) by Modulating Alcohol Induced Oxidative Stress and Inflammation (2017)

The pathogenesis of alcoholic liver diseases progresses from fatty liver to hepatic inflammation and necrosis to fibrosis. Clove buds (Syzygium aromaticum L.) are one of the richest sources of dietary polyphenols with many traditional medicinal uses. Hence, the present work attempted to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of a standardized polyphenol-rich extract of clove buds (Clovinol). The experiment was conducted on Wistar rats designated into three groups. First group was vehicle control and hepatotoxicity was induced to the second group by the administration of ethanol at the fixed dose of 12.5 g/kg body wt., orally for 30 days. Clovinol (100 mg/kg body wt.) was co-administered with ethanol in the third group. The liver toxicity was assessed by the estimation of liver marker enzymes in addition to which, assays of antioxidant enzymes, inflammatory markers, and liver histopathology studies were also conducted. Ethanol treatment significantly increased (p<0.05) liver function markers (SGOT and SGPT) and reduced (p<0.05) the antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, and GPx) and GSH. It also increased the WBC count, inflammatory markers (nitrite, CRP, COX-2, IL-6 and TNF-α) and lipid peroxidation, significantly (p<0.05). Supplementation of Clovinol showed significant (p<0.05) reversal of all these biochemical and molecular variables indicating the efficacy of Clovinol in the downregulation of alcohol-induced oxidative stress and inflammatory changes, bringing about a significant reduction in the associated liver pathology. To summarize, we found that Clovinol could be a potential functional ingredient for liver health.
The use of electrical capacitance to determine growth and vigor of spruce and fir trees and stands in New Brunswick (1988)

A capacitance meter based on an integrating operational amplifier design was used to measure electrical capacitance of over 3400 trees in 90 spruce–fir stands in New Brunswick. Trends of capacitance were compared with trends of tree growth, tree characteristics, and defoliation by spruce budworm (Choristoneurafumiferana (Clem.)). Capacitance differed among tree species, with balsam fir (Abiesbalsamea (L.) Mill.) and white spruce (Piceaglauca (Moench) Voss) having generally higher values than red spruce (Picearubens Sarg.) and black spruce (Piceamariana (Mill.) B.S.P.). Capacitance also decreased with crown class and with increasing cumulative defoliation. Correlations between tree growth and capacitance ranged from about 0.6 to 0.7 for tree data, and 0.6 to 0.9 for stand data. Regressions between mean growth per stand and mean capacitance explained about 40 to 70% of the variability in growth. These results indicate that it is practical to use electrical capacitance measurements to assess tree growth and vigor.
Soil temperature regimes and nematode distribution in India (2000)

The optimum, basal and upper threshold temperature requirement of most important plant-parasitic nematodes, Heterodera avenae, Heterodera cajani, Hirschmanniella oryzae, Meloidogyne incognita, M javanica, Pratylenchus zeae, Radophoh sitnilis, Rotylenchulus reniformis and Tylenchulus semipenetrans in India were related with respective mean soil temperatures of different states. The distribution of nematode and their field problem has been found to be dependent on the mean soil temperatures. The spread of these nematodes to newer places, which possess a favourable temperature, is predicted.
The statins as anticancer agents. (2003)

3-Hydroxy-3-methylgutaryl CoA reductase inhibitors, commonly referred to as the statins, have proven therapeutic and preventative effects in cardiovascular diseases. Recently, there are emerging interests in their use as anticancer agents based on preclinical evidence of their antiproliferative, proapoptotic, anti-invasive, and radiosensitizing properties. Inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methylgutaryl CoA reductase by the statins interferes with the rate-limiting step of the mevalonate pathway, leading to reduced levels of mevalonate and its downstream products, many of which play important roles in critical cellular functions such as membrane integrity, cell signaling, protein synthesis, and cell cycle progression. Perturbations of these processes in neoplastic cells by the statins may therefore result in control of tumor initiation, growth, and metastasis. The statins have demonstrated growth inhibitory activity in cancer cell lines and preclinical tumor models in animals. Phase I trials of statins in humans have demonstrated myotoxicity as their main dose-limiting toxicity, and Phase II trials in various tumor types are ongoing to evaluate their efficacy. Potential future directions in the development of the statins as anticancer agents include combinations with chemotherapeutic or other molecular-targeted agents, combinations with radiotherapy, maintenance therapy in minimal disease status, and as chemopreventive therapy.
Sulfide : quinone oxidoreductase (SQR) from the lugworm <i>Arenicola marina</i> shows cyanide‐ and thioredoxin‐dependent activity (2008)

The lugworm Arenicola marina inhabits marine sediments in which sulfide concentrations can reach up to 2 mM. Although sulfide is a potent toxin for humans and most animals, because it inhibits mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase at micromolar concentrations, A. marina can use electrons from sulfide for mitochondrial ATP production. In bacteria, electron transfer from sulfide to quinone is catalyzed by the membrane-bound flavoprotein sulfide : quinone oxidoreductase (SQR). A cDNA from A. marina was isolated and expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which lacks endogenous SQR. The heterologous enzyme was active in mitochondrial membranes. After affinity purification, Arenicola SQR isolated from yeast mitochondria reduced decyl-ubiquinone (K(m) = 6.4 microm) after the addition of sulfide (K(m) = 23 microm) only in the presence of cyanide (K(m) = 2.6 mM). The end product of the reaction was thiocyanate. When cyanide was substituted by Escherichia coli thioredoxin and sulfite, SQR exhibited one-tenth of the cyanide-dependent activity. Six amino acids known to be essential for bacterial SQR were exchanged by site-directed mutagenesis. None of the mutant enzymes was active after expression in yeast, implicating these amino acids in the catalytic mechanism of the eukaryotic enzyme.
