ID-based Encryption Scheme Secure against Chosen Ciphertext Attacks. (2005)

ID-based encryption allows for a sender to encrypt a message to an identity without access to a public key certificate. Based on the bilinear pairing, Boneh and Franklin proposed the first practical IDbased encryption scheme and used the padding technique of FujisakiOkamto to extend it to be a chosen ciphertext secure version. In this letter, we would like to use another padding technique to propose a new ID-based encryption scheme secure against chosen ciphertext attacks. The security of our scheme is based on the Gap bilinear Diffie-Hellman assumption in the random oracle model.
Risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission from on-field player contacts in amateur, youth and professional football (soccer) (2021)

On-field transmission risk of SARS-CoV-2 in football is very low. Sources of infections in football players are most likely not related to activities on the pitch.
Read bulk data from computational RFIDs (2014)

Without the need of local energy supply, computational RFID (CRFID) sensors are emerging as important platforms enabling a variety of sensing and computing applications. Nevertheless, the data throughput of CRFIDs is very low. This paper aims at efficiently transferring bulk data from CRFIDs to commodity RFID readers. We first investigate the problem of low data throughput of CRFIDs. We then propose several simple yet effective techniques to allow CRFIDs to meet stringent timing requirement of commodity RFID readers and achieve efficient data transfer. We implement a prototype system based on the WISP CRFIDs and commercial off-the-self RFID reader. The experiment results show that our approach provides better compatibility with EPCglobal C1G2 compliant RFID devices and works perfectly with the commodity RFID readers.

Climate change and economic growth: impacts and interactions (2012)

An integrated assessment model (ENVISAGE), including a CGE-based economic module and a climate module, is used to assess the effects of a variety of economic impacts induced by climate change. These impacts include: sea level rise, variations in crop yields, water availability, human health, tourism, energy demand. Two scenarios are compared: a baseline growth path, disregarding any climate change effect, and a counterfactual case, accounting for the impacts. The model assesses the overall magnitude of the impacts, their regional distribution, and the contribution of each specific impact to the overall variation of income and welfare. Results (e.g., on real GDP) show that climate change impacts are substantial, especially for developing countries and in the long run, so that mitigation/adaptation policies are needed to make economic growth sustainable.
The ability of large T antigen to complex with p53 is necessary for the increased life span and partial transformation of human cells by simian virus 40 (1991)

Simian virus 40 (SV40) T antigen binds to the tumor suppressor p53 protein, and this association may contribute to oncogenic transformation by the virus. We investigated the importance of this binding on transformation by examining three replication-competent mutants of SV40 (402DE, 402DN, and 402DH). These mutants express T antigens defective in binding to human and monkey p53s but retain some binding with mouse p53. All showed significant reduction in their ability to induce transformed cell foci of two normal human cell lines as well as a slight reduction with mouse embryo cells. Other comparable mutants which express T antigens retaining the ability to complex with p53 were able to induce foci at wild-type levels in both human and mouse cells. Further studies were performed with five T-antigen-positive clones isolated from the few human cell foci that appeared after transfection with 402 mutant DNAs. All five clones reached senescence at about the same point as did the parental untransformed cells. However, six other human cell clones obtained after transfection with DNA from nondefective mutants or wild-type virus were still growing well at more than 10 passages beyond their expected life span. These results suggest that the ability of T antigen to form stable complexes with p53 is necessary for SV40 to extend the life span and partially transform human cells in culture.
Obstructive Sleep apnea Therapy (2008)

In clinical practice, oral appliances are used primarily for obstructive sleep apnea patients who do not respond to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. We hypothesized that an oral appliance is not inferior to CPAP in treating obstructive sleep apnea effectively. We randomly assigned 103 individuals to oral-appliance or CPAP therapy. Polysomnography after 8-12 weeks indicated that treatment was effective for 39 of 51 persons using the oral appliance (76.5%) and for 43 of 52 persons using CPAP (82.7%). For the difference in effectiveness, a 95% two-sided confidence interval was calculated. Non-inferiority of oral-appliance therapy was considered to be established when the lower boundary of this interval exceeded -25%. The lower boundary of the confidence interval was -21.7%, indicating that oral-appliance therapy was not inferior to CPAP for effective treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. However, subgroup analysis revealed that oral-appliance therapy was less effective in individuals with severe disease (apnea-hypopnea index > 30). Since these people could be at particular cardiovascular risk, primary oral-appliance therapy appears to be supported only for those with non-severe apnea.

Intrusion Detection Based on IDBM (2016)

With the advancement of internet, computer network security has brought serious concerns. Intrusion detection is an important topic in network security framework. To address the effectiveness and efficiency problem with traditional intrusion detection models, we present an intrusion detection method based on deep leaning. The deep belief network (DBN) constructed via the stacked Boltzmann machine model (RBM) is selected. Firstly, combining numeralization of symbolic features and numeric features normalization are used to processing network log features. In addition, extreme learning machine (ELM) was applied into the learning process of DBN. Compared with traditional DBN, the experimental results on the NSL KDD dataset demonstrate that intrusion detection based on IDBN has double training speed compared to DBN, while achieving a reliable detection rate.
Proportion of genome shared identical by descent by relatives: concept, computation, and applications. (1995)

One widely used measure of genetic similarity for pairs of relatives is gene identity-by-descent (IBD) sharing. Genes that are copies of a single gene in a common ancestor of the individuals who now carry them are said to be IBD. One obvious extension of the IBD concept is IBD gene(s) shared by more than two individuals. In this paper, I further extend the gene IBD concept to the proportion of genomes shared IBD by every member of a group of relatives. Genome may refer either to the entire autosomal genome or to one or more chromosomal segments or regions with known lengths. Consideration of a genome instead of one or two loci has several advantages. I present a model to describe the crossover process, based on the work of K. P. Donnelly. On the basis of this model, I give a mathematical definition of the proportion of genome shared IBD by relatives, or IBDP for short. Since the distribution of the IBDP is in general very difficult to determine, and since in most applications the mean and variance of the IBDP will suffice, I then provide a method for computing the first two moments of the IBDP. Applications to assessing gene survival, to genetic resemblance between two relatives, and to gene mapping are illustrated with examples. Finally, I discuss the utility of the IBDP in other areas.
Unscented transformation-based probabilistic optimal power flow for modeling the effect of wind power generation (2013)

The unprecedented increasing penetration of distributed energy resources, mainly harvesting renewable energies, is a direct result of environmental concerns. These types of energy resources bring about more uncertainties in the power system and, consequently, necessitate probabilistic analyses of the system performance. This paper develops a new approach for probabilistic optimal power flow (P-OPF) by adapting the unscented transformation (UT) method. The heart of the proposed method lies in how to produce the sampling points. Appropriate sample points are chosen to perform the P-OPF with a high degree of accuracy and less computational burden in comparison with the features of other existing methods. Another salient feature of the UT technique is its capability in modeling the correlated uncertain input variables. This attribute is very desirable in the accommodation of wind generations, which likely have a correlation regarding the geographical proximity. In order to examine the performance of the proposed method, 2 case studies are conducted and the results are compared with those of other existing methods, such as Monte Carlo simulation and 2-point estimation methods. The case studies are the Wood and Wollenberg 6-bus and the IEEE 118-bus test systems. A comparison of the results justifies the effectiveness of the proposed method with regards to the accuracy and execution time.
A Dependency Markup Language for Web Services (2003)

Abstract. Current mechanisms for the description of Web Services and their composition are either to coarse – by specifying a functional interface only – or too fine – by specifying a concrete control flow amongst services. We argue that more adequate specifications can be built on the notion of dependency of activities and coordination activities to manage these dependencies. We propose a Dependency Markup Language to capture dependencies amongst activities and generalizations/specializations amongst processes. With that, we can describe composite services at more suited levels of abstraction and have several options to use such descriptions for service coordination, service discovery and service classification. 1
Environmental Enrichment Reverses the Effects of Maternal Separation on Stress Reactivity (2002)

Postnatal maternal separation increases hypothalamic corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) gene expression and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and behavioral responses to stress. We report here that environmental enrichment during the peripubertal period completely reverses the effects of maternal separation on both HPA and behavioral responses to stress, with no effect on CRF mRNA expression. We conclude that environmental enrichment leads to a functional reversal of the effects of maternal separation through compensation for, rather than reversal of, the neural effects of early life adversity.
Extensible Markup Language (XML) Formats for Representing Resource Lists (2007)

In multimedia communications, presence, and instant messaging systems, there is a need to define Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) that represent services that are associated with a group of users. One example is a resource list service. If a user sends a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) SUBSCRIBE message to the URI representing the resource list service, the server will obtain the state of the users in the associated group, and provide it to the sender. To facilitate definition of these services, this specification defines two Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents. One document contains service URIs, along with their service definition and a reference to the associated group of users. The second document contains the user lists that are referenced from the first. This list of users can be utilized by other applications and services. Both documents can be created and managed with the XML Configuration Access Protocol (XCAP).
Comparison and combination of emergency control methods for voltage stability (2004)

This work presents and compares alternative methods for undervoltage emergency protection. The methods considered include LTC tap adjustments (blocking, locking, reversing), distribution side voltage setpoint reduction, and finally load shedding. The paper also considers how some of the above methods can be combined in designing an emergency control scheme. The techniques are demonstrated in a small power system with three loads with promising results.

Probabilistic waveform inversion for focal parameters of local earthquakes (2005)

For a given earth model and hypocenter location, short-period local waveforms are inverted for the six unknown moment tensor rate functions (MTRFs) by a linear procedure. Subsequently, the MTRFs are decomposed into the source time function (STF) and the time independent moment tensor, fully describing the focal mechanism of the event. In case of short epicentral distances, routinely determined hypocenters are usually not accurate enough to be used in focal mechanism inversion. However, introducing hypocenter co-ordinates as unknown parameters leads to a nonlinear inversion problem. In order to solve this nonlinear problem, a probabilistic approach is applied in this study. The a priori probability density function (PDF) for the hypocenter location is given by a routinely used location algorithm. Assuming that all uncertainties can be described by Gaussian PDFs, measurement errors and theoretical errors are estimated. Then the results of the Bayesian approach are the posterior PDFs for both the hypocenter co-ordinates and the MTRFs. Decomposing the MTRFs, the PDFs for the STF and the moment tensor are also deduced. The estimated uncertainties in the moment tensor components are plotted on the focal sphere in such a way, that the significance of the double-couple, the CLVD, and the volumetric parts of the source can be assessed. The method is illustrated through the waveform inversion of a local event that occurred in the central part of the Pannonian Basin. The moment tensor solution for the selected event has negligible volumetric part, implying the tectonic nature of the event. The retrieved mechanism is in agreement with the available clear readings of first-arrival P-wave polarities. The principal axes of the resulting source mechanism also agrees well with the main stress pattern published for the epicentral region.
Unexpected quenching effect on new particle formation from the atmospheric reaction of methanol with SO <sub>3</sub> (2019)

Despite the high abundance in the atmosphere, alcohols in general and methanol in particular are believed to play a small role in atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) largely due to the weak binding abilities of alcohols with the major nucleation precursors, e.g., sulfuric acid (SA) and dimethylamine (DMA). Herein, we identify a catalytic reaction that was previously overlooked, namely, the reaction between methanol and SO<sub>3</sub>, catalyzed by SA, DMA, or water. We found that alcohols can have unexpected quenching effects on the NPF process, particularly in dry and highly polluted regions with high concentrations of alcohols. Specifically, the catalytic reaction between methanol and SO<sub>3</sub> can convert methanol into a less-volatile species--methyl hydrogen sulfate (MHS). The latter was initially thought to be a good nucleation agent for NPF. However, our simulation results suggest that the formation of MHS consumes an appreciable amount of atmospheric SO<sub>3</sub>, disfavoring further reactions of SO<sub>3</sub> with H<sub>2</sub>O. Indeed, we found that MHS formation can cause a reduction of SA concentration up to 87%, whereas the nucleation ability of MHS toward new particles is not as good as that of SA. Hence, a high abundance of methanol in the atmosphere can lower the particle nucleation rate by as much as two orders of magnitude. Such a quenching effect suggests that the recently identified catalytic reactions between alcohols and SO<sub>3</sub> need to be considered in atmospheric modeling in order to predict SA concentration from SO<sub>2</sub>, while also account for their potentially negative effect on NPF.
Experiments on Slamming of Wedge-Shaped Bodies (1967)

A series of experimental investigations of rigid-body slamming was performed at the Naval Ship Research and Development Center by dropping one flat-bottom steel model and five wedge-shaped steel models with small deadrise angles (up to 15 deg) from various elevated positions above a calm water surface. The test results were used to provide a set of charts for estimating the maximum impact pressure due to rigid-body slamming of wedges.
Development and Validation of a New Index to Measure Emergency Department Crowding (2003)

EDWIN correlated well with staff assessment of ED crowding and diversion. The index can be programmed into tracking software for use as a "dashboard" to alert staff when the ED is approaching crisis. If validated across other sites, EDWIN may provide a tool to compare crowding levels among different EDs.

UV Index forecasting on a global scale (2005)

A method is presented to forecast the UV Index (UVI) on a global scale for up to 3 days, taking into account ozone, aerosol, cloudiness, altitude and albedo. Particular consideration is made for the adjustment of the UVI to altitude and for seasonal changes in aerosol optical depth. The UVI describes the level of erythemal weighted solar irradiance and consequently is an indicator of the potential for skin damage by UV radiation. Thus the UVI is an important vehicle to raise public awareness of the risks of UV radiation, and forecasted UVI may help to adapt the human behaviour. The UVI is forecasted by the German Meteorological Service (DWD) using adequate values of the relevant atmospheric and surface properties. The UVI is calculated via lookup tables valid for sea level, clear sky conditions, an aerosol optical depth at 550 nm (AOD) of 0.2, and an albedo of 3 %. The lookup tables have a high resolution in total column ozone and sun zenith angle. The ozone values are forecasted within the global numerical weather prediction model GME of DWD. The module structure of the UV model allows for a subsequent adjustment of UVI to changes in AOD, to the topography, to the albedo of predicted snow, and to forecasted cloudiness, the latter by using empirical cloud modification factors. The factor applied to account for changes in AOD depends on solar zenith angle and on aerosol single scattering albedo, and that for altitude effects additionally on AOD. Since forecasts of AOD are not yet available, regional monthly mean values of AOD have been derived from MODIS and TOMS measurements. The forecasted UVI for all effective atmospheric conditions are compared with measurements at 12 locations in Europe for the summer seasons 1999 and 2003. 80 % of the forecasts for all atmospheric conditions were within the range of ±1 UVI; the predominant error can be attributed to cloudiness.
VLSI circuit design with built-in reliability using simulation techniques (2002)

The use of reliability assurance and enhancement of integrated circuits in the design of high-performance electronic systems is discussed. Circuit simulators with embedded degradation models can be utilized to accurately predict VLSI reliability due to hot-carrier effects and electromigration. Basic design methods for constructing digital and analog circuit blocks with adequate built-in reliability are presented. Lifetime for DRAM circuitries and operational amplifiers can be significantly increased through these novel simulation techniques. Several practical VLSI design examples using an integrated-circuit reliability simulator are discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
