An Intelligent System for Phishing Attack Detection and Prevention (2019)

Cyber security is a most important trepidation in the widespread adoption of internet technologies in the everyday activities of human being. Even though more sophisticated technologies emerged on the Internet, but different kinds of attacks and threats are also increasing day by day. Cyber attacks causes loss of customer confidence in adopting internet based applications. Phishing attack is one of the common vulnerabilities in the cyber space. Most of the anti-phishing solutions proposed so are focused only on a single issue and needs improvement. For malicious web page detection and prevention, an intelligent multi agent solution is proposed in this paper with the help of machine learning methods. The proposed approach detects both phishing sites and websites with malicious content. This multi-agent system contains four autonomous intelligent agents, which communicate with each other using the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) for decision-making. The first is a monitoring agent, second and third is for decision-making (using the machine-learning classifiers) and the fourth is for action-performing. The first agent is responsible for extracting URLs. It passes the extracted URLs to the second agent for feature extraction and classification. If any phishing is detected, the second agent communicates with the fourth agent and the site is blocked. Otherwise, the second agent communicates with the third agent for malicious script detection. If any malicious script is detected then the fourth agent blocks the entire web page. We have tested the performance and accuracy of the proposed method and obtained results ensures its efficiency.

Activation of inositol phospholipid breakdown by prostaglandin F2α without any stimulation of proliferation in quiescent NIH-3T3 fibroblasts (1990)

Stimulation of NIH-3T3 cells with prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) caused a dose- and time-dependent generation of inositol phosphates. The first detectable changes were in the levels of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. Increases in Ins(1,3,4)P3, InsP2 and InsP were detected later, and only minor changes were observed in putative InsP5 or InsP6. The accumulation of inositol phosphates was synergistically increased by the addition of calf serum, whereas PGF2 alpha had no effects on cell proliferation in either the presence or the absence of calf serum. Stimulation of a different clone of NIH-3T3 cells (AmNIH-3T3) or Swiss 3T3 cells with PGF2 alpha resulted in both inositol phospholipid breakdown and cell proliferation. No differences were found in the characteristics of PGF2 alpha-stimulated inositol phosphate generation between the two clones of NIH-3T3 cells, nor was there any difference in receptor number of Kd. These results question the role of inositol phospholipid breakdown in mitogenesis and demonstrate significant differences in the biochemical properties of apparently the 'same' cells.

A Direct Current Torque Motor for Application on a Variable Frequency Transformer (2007)

A wound rotor induction machine can be used in a variable frequency transformer (VFT) to allow interconnection of two power grids that run asynchronously to each other. The transfer of power across the air gap of the machine is controlled by variation of the torque that is applied to the shaft of the VFT. The magnitude of the power transfer is directly proportional to the shaft torque while the direction of power flow is dependent on the direction in which the torque is applied. The rotor of the VFT spins at a speed that is proportional to the difference between the two grid frequencies. When two grids with the same nominal frequency are interconnected, the torque on the shaft of the VFT must be controlled at stall or near stall conditions. DC motors are well suited to this type of duty and have been used in the past for applications with similar requirements; for instance, steel mill looper motors operate at near stall conditions. High torque low speed DC motors have also been applied to steel mill roughers and low speed steel mill finishers. This paper will describe some of the considerations that must be addressed when designing a DC torque motor for a VFT application. It will also outline the main features of a 20 pole, 2,796 kW, 48/93 rpm, 750 V dc motor that was built for the commercial installation of a VFT at Hydro- Quebec's Langlois substation.
Electroplated indium bump arrays and the bonding reliability (2010)

A novel electroplating indium bumping process is described, as a result of which indium bump arrays with a pitch of 100 μm and a diameter of 40 μm were successfully prepared. UBM (under bump metallization) for indium bumping was investigated with an XRD technique. The experimental results indicate that Ti/Pt (300 Å / 200 Å) has an excellent barrier effect both at room temperature and at 200 °C. The bonding reliability of the indium bumps was evaluated by a shear test. Results show that the shear strength of the indium bump significantly increases after the first reflow and then changes slowly with increasing reflow times. Such a phenomenon may be caused by the change in textures of the indium after reflow. The corresponding flip-chip process is also discussed in this paper.
Toll-like receptors: lessons to learn from normal and malignant human B cells (2008)

Abstract The humoral immune system senses microbes via recognition of specific microbial molecular motifs by Toll-like receptors (TLRs). These encounters promote plasma cell differentiation and antibody production. Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of the TLR system in enhancing antibody-mediated defense against infections and maintaining memory B cells. These results have led the way to the design of vaccines that target B cells by engaging TLRs. In hematologic malignancies, cells often retain B cell–specific receptors and associated functions. Among these, TLRs are currently exploited to target different subclasses of B-cell leukemia, and TLR agonists are currently being evaluated in clinical trials. However, accumulating evidence suggests that endogenous TLR ligands or chronic infections promote tumor growth, thus providing a need for further investigations to decipher the exact function of TLRs in the B-cell lineage and in neoplastic B cells. The aim of this review is to present and discuss the latest advances with regard to the expression and function of TLRs in both healthy and malignant B cells. Special attention will be focused on the growth-promoting effects of TLR ligands on leukemic B cells and their potential clinical impact.
The Guerrilla management architecture for ad hoc networks (2003)

Ad hoc networks, where mobile nodes communicate via multihop wireless links, facilitate network connectivity without the aid of any pre-existing networking infrastructure. The intrinsic attributes of ad hoc networks, such as dynamic network topology, limited battery supply, constrained wireless bandwidth and quality, and large number of heterogeneous nodes, make network management significantly more challenging than stationary and wireline networks. In particular, the conventional client/server-based manager-agent management paradigm falls short of addressing these issues. We describe the Guerrilla management architecture to facilitate adaptive and autonomous management of ad hoc networks and demonstrate its capability via simulation. Apart from its functionalities, the management capability itself is scalable to accommodate the sheer number and heterogeneity of nodes, autonomous and survivable to adapt to network dynamics, and economical to minimize management overhead.
Intrinsic Evaluations of Word Embeddings: What Can We Do Better? (2016)

This paper presents an analysis of existing methods for the intrinsic evaluation of word embeddings.We show that the main methodological premise of such evaluations is "interpretability" of word embeddings: a "good" embedding produces results that make sense in terms of traditional linguistic categories.This approach is not only of limited practical use, but also fails to do justice to the strengths of distributional meaning representations.We argue for a shift from abstract ratings of word embedding "quality" to exploration of their strengths and weaknesses.
Design and implementation of an efficient flash-based SSD architecture (2014)

Flash memory based solid-state disk (SSD) has shown a tremendous potential through its high performance. Recent studies mainly focus on the address mapping in the Flash Translation Layer (FTL) and improving the parallelism in the Flash Controller (FC). However, new features of NAND flash have allowed the performance loss caused by technical limitations to be fully offset by optimize the timing budgets throughout systems. In this paper, an FPGA-based high-performance SSD architecture is proposed to maximize the parallelism of commands and data in chip-level and bus-level. Performance evaluation based on the FPGA-based SSD architecture demonstrates that the bandwidth in hybrid pattern can be more than 65 percent better than the best of comparable SSD.
What technique should I use to measure cardiac output? (2007)

Less invasive cardiac output monitoring techniques may replace the pulmonary artery catheter in different clinical settings considering the specific properties of these techniques. The pulmonary artery catheter, however, may still be recommended for cardiac output measurement in specific clinical situations when monitoring of pulmonary artery pressures is desirable.
Binding of p-Nitrophenyl Phosphate and Other Aromatic Compounds by β-Lactoglobulin (1987)

Results obtained from gel filtration showed that beta-lactoglobulin binds p-nitrophenyl phosphate with a stoichiometry of 1 mol of ligand per 18,360 monomer. Circular dichroic spectra confirmed the binding and implicated tryptophan and phenylalanine residues in the interaction. Fluorescence of the protein was quenched on binding also supporting complex formation; analysis of these data indicates that p-nitrophenyl phosphate binds to beta-lactoglobulin A with a dissociation constant of 31 microM. The B and C genetic variants of beta-lactoglobulin bind p-nitrophenyl phosphate with dissociation constants of 63 and 70 microM, respectively. In addition, a series of other nitrophenyl compounds and pyridoxal phosphate were also investigated by fluorescence analysis and found to bind to the protein. These results are discussed with respect to a recent hypothesis that beta-lactoglobulin binds retinol and is structurally related to serum retinol binding protein.
Electrical breakdown at semiconductor grain boundaries (1986)

Carrier transport through electrically active grain boundaries is studied under high-electric-field conditions. Electrons trapped at the interface and screened by ionized shallow and deep bulk defects are responsible for the formation of double Schottky barriers which reduce the carrier flow by several orders of magnitude. At large applied bias, electric fields up to 1 MV/cm can build up near the interface, leading to the generation of hot electrons and to the subsequent production of holes by impact ionization. This process is studied in a realistic model, taking the inhomogeneous field as well as longitudinal-optic and -acoustic phonon scattering into account. The hot-electron distribution function is calculated as the solution of a Fokker-Planck equation in energy space. With a reasonable estimate for the pair-creation rate we determine the yield for hole production near the interface. These minority carriers are swept back to the grain boundary where they serve as an additional screening charge for the electrons. We determine the steady-state and dynamic behavior of the barrier, including the holes in our calculations. The accumulation of holes at the interface can lead to the breakdown of the barrier which, in its most dramatic form, can even result in a bistability. The dynamic behavior of the barrier reflects the presence of holes through the development of a negative capacitance, in agreement with experimental observations. The negative capacitance is explained by the finite recombination time of the holes at the interface. In a model where the recombination is substituted by hole emission, a realistic current-voltage characteristic but no negative capacitance is found.
Silicon bipolar balanced active mixer MMIC's for RF and microwave applications up to 6 GHz (2003)

A monolithic silicon bipolar technology based on transistors with f/sub T/s of 10 GHz and f/sub max/s of 20 GHz has been used to develop double balanced active mixers. These circuits are based on Gilbert cell multipliers and exhibit conversion gain for RF and LO (local oscillator) bandwidths to 6 GHz and IF (intermediate frequency) bandwidths to 2 GHz. The mixers have conversion gains of up to 16 dB with exceptionally low LO power requirements. Load-insensitive performance is achieved along with wideband on-chip impedance matching. Small chip size is obtained with low to moderate power dissipations. Dynamic range, however, is partially sacrificed due to the fundamental circuit topology chosen. RF measurements for two representative designs are summarized.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Blindness as a Complication of Le Fort I Osteotomy for Maxillary Distraction (2002)

High Le Fort I osteotomy and maxillary distraction has become an accepted method for the treatment of maxillary retrusion in children and teenagers with cleft lip and palate or craniofacial anomalies. This procedure effectively corrects the dentofacial deformity in these patients. No major surgical morbidity has been reported. During the past 4 years, 94 cleft patients with maxillary hypoplasia received Le Fort I osteotomy and distraction osteogenesis at the authors' center. Two of them developed blindness after this operation. The first case was a girl with bilateral cleft lip and palate with median facial dysplasia. She received high Le Fort I osteotomy at age 12 years 4 months to correct maxillary retrusion. Right eye swelling and ecchymosis was found after surgery. The patient complained of vision loss in that eye 2 days later. Computed tomography showed subarachnoid hemorrhage and skull base hematoma. There were no atypical fractures in the orbit, pterygoid plates, sphenoid bone, and skull base. Angiogram revealed left ophthalmic and basilar artery aneurysm. The second case was a 12-year-old boy with left cleft lip and palate. He received Le Fort I osteotomy to correct maxillary retrusion. During surgery, abnormal pupil dilatation was found after the osteotomy and down-fracture of maxilla. Emergent computed tomography found no hemorrhage or atypical fractures. Examination revealed complete left optic neuropathy and partial right abducens nerve palsy with mydriasis. Magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance angiography, and repeated computed tomography revealed no sign of orbital injury, vascular problem, or abnormal fractures. The cause of blindness was unknown. In both cases, a steroid was used. Maxillary distraction was continued. Recovery of meaningful visual sense did not occur after 3 and 2 years' follow-up, respectively. A review of the literature revealed five other patients who suffered from visual loss after Le Fort I osteotomy. Inadvertent skull base fractures were identified in two cases, but a cause for the blindness was not known in the others. Induced hypotension and indirect trauma may be responsible for the optic nerve injury. In none of the cases was meaningful visual sense recovered, although high-dose steroids were given. In conclusion, a total of seven cases developed blindness after Le Fort I osteotomy. Once blindness develops, the prognosis is poor. High Le Fort I osteotomy should be performed with extreme care, and perhaps the informed consent should include visual loss as a complication of the procedure.
Fast Disintegrating Tablets Of Atenolol by Dry Granulation Method (2004)

Atenolol was formulated as fast disintegrating tablet using three superdisintegrants, croscarmellose sodium (Ac-Di-Sol), crospovidone (Polyplasdone XL) and sodium starch glycolate (Explotab). Thirteen formulations were prepared and all had the same amount of ingredients except, the superdisintegrant level. All the superdisintegrants were used at different concentration levels to assess their efficiency and critical concentration level. Physical characteristics, in vitro release characteristics, moisture uptake and stability profile of various formulations were evaluated. Moisture uptake by formulations was studied to reveal any relationship between moisture uptake and disintegration and/or dissolution efficiency. Ac-Di-Sol proved to be the best among the three and showed satisfactory results at 3 kg/cm2 hardness. Formulations were found stable in release profile after 30 d stability studies at room temperature.
Taxonomic Features of Seven Serotypes of Simian and Ape Foamy Viruses (1971)

Two new simian viruses were recovered from squirrel monkeys and galagos. They possess foamy virus group properties which appear distinct from other virus groups. Serologically they were designated types 4 and 5 and are completely specific from each other and from types 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 by neutralization tests. The study includes a comparison of the properties of all seven types in one laboratory.
Measuring Distribution Similarities Between Samples: A Distribution-Free Overlapping Index (2019)

Every day cognitive and experimental researchers attempt to find evidence in support of their hypotheses in terms of statistical differences or similarities among groups. The most typical cases involve quantifying the difference of two samples in terms of their mean values using the <i>t</i> statistic or other measures, such as Cohen's <i>d</i> or <i>U</i> metrics. In both cases the aim is to quantify how large such differences have to be in order to be classified as notable effects. These issues are particularly relevant when dealing with experimental and applied psychological research. However, most of these standard measures require some distributional assumptions to be correctly used, such as symmetry, unimodality, and well-established parametric forms. Although these assumptions guarantee that asymptotic properties for inference are satisfied, they can often limit the validity and interpretability of results. In this article we illustrate the use of a distribution-free overlapping measure as an alternative way to quantify sample differences and assess research hypotheses expressed in terms of Bayesian evidence. The main features and potentials of the overlapping index are illustrated by means of three empirical applications. Results suggest that using this index can considerably improve the interpretability of data analysis results in psychological research, as well as the reliability of conclusions that researchers can draw from their studies.
Evolutionary Function Approximation for Reinforcement Learning (2006)

Abstract. Temporal difference methods are theoretically grounded and empirically effective methods for addressing sequential decision making problems with delayed rewards. Most problems of real-world interest require coupling TD methods with a function approximator to represent the value function. However, using function approximators requires manually making crucial representational decisions. This paper introduces evolutionary function approximation, a novel approach to automatically selecting function approximator representations that enable efficient individual learning. Our method evolves individuals that are better able to learn. We present a fully implemented instantiation of evolutionary function approximation which combines NEAT, a neuroevolutionary optimization technique, and Q-learning, a popular temporal difference method. The resulting NEAT+Q algorithm automatically learns effective representations for neural network function approximators. Empirical results in a server job scheduling task demonstrate that NEAT+Q can significantly improve the performance of TD methods. 1
An Accurate Crowdsourcing-Based Adaptive Fall Detection Approach Using Smart Devices (2016)

A low-cost but high-accuracy mechanism for detecting falls is critical for many health and safety applications, including caring for the elderly. Existing approaches are unduly expensive and sensitive to user physique and biometrics. Additionally, most approaches were developed using limited, simulated fall data and often perform poorly in field tests. To resolve these issues, in this paper we propose an accurate, crowdsourcing-based, adaptive fall detection approach using smart devices with built in wireless connection and sensors. We adaptively refine the fall detection algorithm and user groupings for improved accuracy based on the real, crowdsourced data. Field tests show that our proposed approach improves fall detection accuracy rate to 97%, compared to 68% with other traditional approaches.
Scattering from a cylindrically conformal slotted waveguide array antenna (1997)

A numerical method is developed to investigate electromagnetic scattering by a cylindrically conformal waveguide-fed slot array. The problem is first formulated in terms of integral equations using the equivalence principle. The integral equations are then solved using the method of moments (MoM) in conjunction with global sinusoidal basis functions and Galerkin's testing procedure. The MoM solution requires the evaluation of the generalized admittance matrices involving various dyadic Green's functions. The slow convergence of the series associated with the summation of waveguide modes is accelerated using the Kummer transformation and the slow convergence of the series associated with the summation of the exterior modes is avoided by using the asymptotic solutions with proper treatment for singular integrals. The evaluation of the excitation vector and scattered field is also accelerated using Watson's transformation and asymptotic solutions. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the scattering characteristics of the cylindrically conformal waveguide-fed slot arrays, such as the effects of curvature, slot thickness, and waveguide termination on the radar cross section (RCS) of the arrays.
