Improved IoT Device Authentication Scheme Using Device Capability and Digital Signatures (2018)

Internet of Things (IoT) device authentication is weighed as a very important step from security perspective. Privacy and security of the IoT devices and applications is the major issue. From security perspective, important issue that needs to be addressed is the authentication mechanism, it has to be secure from different types of attacks and is easy to implement. The paper gives general idea about how different authentication mechanisms work, and then secure and efficient multi-factor device authentication scheme idea is proposed. The proposed scheme idea uses digital signatures and device capability to authenticate a device. In the proposed scheme device will only be allowed into the network if it is successfully authenticated through multi-factor authentication otherwise the authentication process fails and whole authentication process will restart. By analyzing the proposed scheme idea, it can be seen that the scheme is efficient and has less over head. The scheme not only authenticates the device very efficiently through multi-factor authentication but also authenticates the authentication server with the help of digital signatures. The proposed scheme also mitigates the common attacks like replay and man in the middle because of nonce and timestamp.
On Redirecting Documents with a Mobile Camera (2006)

This paper presents a method for facilitating document redirection in a physical environment via a mobile camera. With this method, a user is able to move documents among electronic devices, post a paper document to a selected public display, or make a printout of a white board with simple point-and-capture operations. More specifically, the user can move a document from its source to a destination by capturing a source image and a destination image in a consecutive order. The system uses SIFT (scale invariant feature transform) features of captured images to identify the devices a user is pointing to, and issues corresponding commands associated with the identified devices. Unlike RF/IR based remote controls, this method uses the visual features of an object as an always available identifier for many tasks, and therefore is easy to deploy. We present experiments on identifying three public displays and a document scanner in a conference room for evaluation
High-performance two-axis gimbal system for free space laser communications onboard unmanned aircraft systems (2011)

A custom designed and manufactured gimbal with a wide field-of-view and fast response time is developed. This enhanced custom design is a 24 volt system with integrated motor controllers and drivers which offers a full 180o fieldof- view in both azimuth and elevation; this provides a more continuous tracking capability as well as increased velocities of up to 479° per second. The addition of active high-frequency vibration control, to complement the passive vibration isolation system, is also in development. The ultimate goal of this research is to achieve affordable, reliable, and secure air-to-air laser communications between two separate remotely piloted aircraft. As a proof-of-concept, the practical implementation of an air-to-ground laserbased video communications payload system flown by a small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) will be demonstrated. A numerical tracking algorithm has been written, tested, and used to aim the airborne laser transmitter at a stationary ground-based receiver with known GPS coordinates; however, further refinement of the tracking capabilities is dependent on an improved gimbal design for precision pointing of the airborne laser transmitter. The current gimbal pointing system is a two-axis, commercial-off-the-shelf component, which is limited in both range and velocity. The current design is capable of 360o of pan and 78o of tilt at a velocity of 60o per second. The control algorithm used for aiming the gimbal is executed on a PC-104 format embedded computer onboard the payload to accurately track a stationary ground-based receiver. This algorithm autonomously calculates a line-of-sight vector in real-time by using the UAV autopilot's Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) which provides latitude, longitude, and altitude and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) which provides the roll, pitch, and yaw data, along with the known Global Positioning System (GPS) location of the ground-based photodiode array receiver.
Circulating plasma cells in multiple myeloma: characterization and correlation with disease stage (1997)

The aim of this study was to develop a flow cytometric test to quantitate low levels of circulating myeloma plasma cells, and to determine the relationship of these cells with disease stage. Cells were characterized using five-parameter flow cytometric analysis with a panel of antibodies, and results were evaluated by comparison with fluorescent consensus-primer IgH-PCR. Bone marrow myeloma plasma cells, defined by high CD38 and Syndecan-1 expression, did not express CD10, 23, 30, 34 or 45RO, and demonstrated weak expression of CD37 and CD45. 65% of patients had CD19- 56+ plasma cells, 30% CD19- 56(low), and 5% CD19+ 56+, and these two antigens discriminated myeloma from normal plasma cells, which were all CD19+ 56(low). Peripheral blood myeloma plasma cells had the same composite phenotype, but expressed significantly lower levels of CD56 and Syndecan-1, and were detected in 75% (38/51) of patients at presentation, 92% (11/12) of patients in relapse, and 40% (4/10) of stem cell harvests. Circulating plasma cells were not detectable in patients in CR (n = 9) or normals (n = 10), at a sensitivity of up to 1 in 10,000 cells. There was good correlation between the flow cytometric test and IgH-PCR results: myeloma plasma cells were detectable by flow cytometry in all PCR positive samples, and samples with no detectable myeloma plasma cells were PCR negative. Absolute numbers decreased in patients responding to treatment, remained elevated in patients with refractory disease, and increased in patients undergoing relapse. We conclude that flow cytometry can provide an effective aternative to IgH-PCR that will allow quantitative assessment of low levels of residual disease.
Risk management, professional judgement, chaos theory and fuzzy possibility (2003)

Professional judgement is an integral part of risk assessment, and an important tool in rationalizing risk management. In order to exercise professional judgement, corporate decision makers make intuitive assumptions about the complex behaviour of businesses and corporations. They implicitly assume (1) a degree of continuity, and (2) the possibility of discontinuities. The informal, professional reasoning that follows from these assumptions is described. Then, the author uses the two fundamental principles of self organization from chaos theory (self similarity, and sensitivity-to-prevailing-conditions), to make these assumptions explicit. Finally, reference is made to a fuzzy implication operator that captures mathematically the informal reasoning inherent in professional judgement. It is argued that the mathematical tools that embody the new operator can make the everyday exercise of professional judgement in risk assessment more consistent and rigorous.

Simultaneous preoperative injection of recombinant adenoviral vectors encoding VEGF and HGF effectively stimulates liver regeneration in cirrhotic rats.
Functions of phospholipid flippases (2010)

Asymmetrical distribution of phospholipids is generally observed in the eukaryotic plasma membrane. Maintenance and changes of this phospholipid asymmetry are regulated by ATP-driven phospholipid translocases. Accumulating evidence indicates that type 4 P-type ATPases (P4-ATPases, also called flippases) translocate phospholipids from the exoplasmic leaflet to the cytoplasmic leaflet of the plasma membrane and internal membranes. Among P-type ATPases, P4-ATPases are unique in that they are associated with a conserved membrane protein of the Cdc50 family as a non-catalytic subunit. Recent studies indicate that flippases are involved in various cellular functions, including transport vesicle formation and cell polarity. In this review, we will focus on the functional aspect of phospholipid flippases.
Distortion Minimization and Continuity Preservation in Surface Pasting (2003)

We introduce the Camera Aware View-dEpendent Continuous Level Of Detail (CAVECLOD) polygon mesh representation. Several techniques recently have been developed that use a hierarchy of vertex split and merge operations to achieve continuous LOD. These techniques exploit temporal coherence. However, when multiple cameras are simultaneously viewing a polygon mesh at continuous LOD, the exploitation of temporal coherence is difficult. The CAVECLOD mesh representation enables multiple cameras to simultaneously exploit temporal coherence. Texture coordinates and normal vectors are preserved and the algorithm uses Microsoft DirectX Vertex Buffers and Index Buffers for efficient rendering. Interactive frame rates are achieved on large models on commercially available hardware.
A hybrid decision tree training method using data streams (2010)

Classical classification methods usually assume that pattern recognition models do not depend on the timing of the data. However, this assumption is not valid in cases where new data frequently become available. Such situations are common in practice, for example, spam filtering or fraud detection, where dependencies between feature values and class numbers are continually changing. Unfortunately, most classical machine learning methods (such as decision trees) do not take into consideration the possibility of the model changing, as a result of so-called concept drift and they cannot adapt to a new classification model. This paper focuses on the problem of concept drift, which is a very important issue, especially in data mining methods that use complex structures (such as decision trees) for making decisions. We propose an algorithm that is able to co-train decision trees using a modified NGE (Nested Generalized Exemplar) algorithm. The potential for adaptation of the proposed algorithm and the quality thereof are evaluated through computer experiments, carried out on benchmark datasets from the UCI Machine Learning Repository.
Phosphoramidate‐peptide synthesis by solution‐ and solid‐phase Staudinger‐phosphite reactions (2010)

The chemoselective incorporation of phosphoramidate moieties into peptides by a Staudinger-phosphite reaction of azides can be performed in many solvents, including water. In this report, we present two strategies for an efficient synthesis of phosphoramidate-containing peptides, in which the Staudinger-phosphite reaction is performed either on the solid support or in solution with aryl azido-containing peptides. The corresponding Staudinger reactions proceed in high conversion rates and deliver phosphoramidate peptides, in which the modification site is located in the middle of the peptide sequence.
Flexible micromirror linear array for high-resolution projection display (2003)

The visual displays of contemporary military flight simulators lack adequate definition to represent scenes in basic fast-jet fighter tasks. For example, air-to-air and air-to-ground targets are not projected with sufficient contrast and resolution for a pilot to perceive aspect, aspect rate and object detail at real world slant ranges. Simulator display geometries require the development of ultra-high resolution projectors with greater than 20 megapixel resolution at 60 Hz frame rate. A new micromirror device has been developed to address this requirement; it is able to modulate light intensity in an analog fashion with switching times shorter than 5 μs. When combined with a scanner, a microlaser and Schlieren optics, a linear array of these flexible micromirrors can display images composed of thousands of lines at a frame rate of 60 Hz. The approach selected for light modulation and the micromirror fabrication process flow are reviewed. Static and dynamic performances of these electrostatic MOEMS are described. Preliminary results following the integration of the described modulator into a projector prototype are reported. Developments toward a fully addressable 2000 × 1 flexible micromirror array are presented. The specifications and design of the CMOS circuit required to control this micromirror array are described. Packaging issues related to these large arrays are discussed.
Does cardiologist- or radiographer-operated fluoroscopy and image acquisition influence optimization of patient radiation exposure during routine coronary angiography? (2002)

The operator of radiation exposure during coronary angiography varies between different centres. The purpose of this study was to explore whether radiation dose was lower during cardiologist- or radiographer-controlled radiation exposure and to determine if the grade of cardiologist performing angiography influenced radiation dose. Patients were randomly allocated either to cardiologist- or radiographer-controlled radiation exposure during coronary angiography. Screening time and radiation dose during fluoroscopy and image acquisition, measured by dose-area product meter, were recorded. Mean radiation dose during cardiologist-controlled radiation exposure (n=176) of 15.6 Gy cm(2) (95% confidence interval (CI), 14.4-16.8) was significantly lower than that produced by the radiographer-controlled group (n=192) of 17.3 Gy cm(2) (95% CI, 16.2-18.6) (p<0.044). There was no significant difference in screening times produced by the two groups of radiation exposure operators. The difference in radiation dose produced by the two operator groups was principally owing to exposure produced at image acquisition. Irrespective of radiation exposure operator, consultant cardiologists produced significantly lower screening times and radiation doses compared with registrars. During routine coronary angiography, radiographer-controlled radiation exposure does not reduce screening time or radiation dose. Senior cardiologists produce the lowest radiation doses during coronary angiography when they are responsible for radiation exposure.
Configuration of Unipolar Atrial Electrograms During Electrically Induced Atrial Fibrillation in Humans (1997)

The morphology of single unipolar electrograms during AF reflects the occurrence of various specific patterns of conduction. This might be used to differentiate between different types of AF and to identify regions with structural conduction disturbances involved in perpetuation of chronic AF.
Quantum and Thermal Phase Slips in Superconducting Niobium Nitride (NbN) Ultrathin Crystalline Nanowire: Application to Single Photon Detection (2012)

We present low-temperature electronic transport properties of superconducting nanowires obtained by nanolithography of 4-nm-thick niobium nitride (NbN) films epitaxially grown on sapphire substrate. Below 6 K, clear evidence of phase slippages is observed in the transport measurements. Upon lowering the temperature, we observe the signatures of a crossover between a thermal and a quantum behavior in the phase slip regimes. We find that phase slips are stable even at the lowest temperatures and that no hotspot is formed. The photoresponse of these nanowires is measured as a function of the light irradiation wavelength and temperature and exhibits a behavior comparable with previous results obtained on thicker films.
Regulation of Osteoclast Apoptosis and Motility by Small GTPase Binding Protein Rac1 (2005)

Small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) Rac1 is critically involved in M-CSF receptor signaling and mediates survival signaling of osteoclasts primarily by modulating PI3K/Akt pathways. Rac1 also plays a significant role in the bone resorptive activity of cells, probably by regulating the motility of osteoclasts.
Heterogeneous resistance to quizartinib in acute myeloid leukemia revealed by single-cell analysis (2017)

Genomic studies have revealed significant branching heterogeneity in cancer. Studies of resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy have not fully reflected this heterogeneity because resistance in individual patients has been ascribed to largely mutually exclusive on-target or off-target mechanisms in which tumors either retain dependency on the target oncogene or subvert it through a parallel pathway. Using targeted sequencing from single cells and colonies from patient samples, we demonstrate tremendous clonal diversity in the majority of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with activating <i>FLT3</i> internal tandem duplication mutations at the time of acquired resistance to the FLT3 inhibitor quizartinib. These findings establish that clinical resistance to quizartinib is highly complex and reflects the underlying clonal heterogeneity of AML.

Multivariable Feedback Control of Semiconductor Wafer Temperature (1992)

Rapid thermal processing (RTP) of semiconductor wafers involves processing single wafers in small reaction chambers. Powerful lamp arrays are used to heat wafers quickly. The nature of RTP makes control of wafer temperature a difficult problem; ensuring near-uniform temperature across the wafer is critical. After a brief introduction to RTP and the RTP temperature control problem, this paper presents a novel approach to the analysis of candidate sensor configurations for multi-actuator, multi-sensor feedback control systems needed to ensure small temperature error in the face of substantial disturbances.
<i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i>-Induced Tolerance as a Model of Persistence via Immunosuppression (2003)

If left untreated, infection with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato may lead to chronic Lyme borreliosis. It is still unknown how this pathogen manages to persist in the host in the presence of competent immune cells. It was recently reported that Borrelia suppresses the host's immune response, thus perhaps preventing the elimination of the pathogen (I. Diterich, L. Härter, D. Hassler, A. Wendel, and T. Hartung, Infect. Immun. 69:687-694, 2001). Here, we further characterize Borrelia-induced immunomodulation in order to develop a model of this anergy. We observed that the different Borrelia preparations that we tested, i.e., live, heat-inactivated, and sonicated Borrelia, could desensitize human blood monocytes, as shown by attenuated cytokine release upon restimulation with any of the different preparations. Next, we investigated whether these Borrelia-specific stimuli render monocytes tolerant, i.e. hyporesponsive, towards another Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) agonist, such as lipoteichoic acid from gram-positive bacteria, or towards the TLR4 agonist lipopolysaccharide. Cross-tolerance towards all tested stimuli was induced. Furthermore, using primary bone marrow cells from TLR2-deficient mice and from mice with a nonfunctional TLR4 (strain C3H/HeJ), we demonstrated that the TLR2 was required for tolerance induction by Borrelia, and using neutralizing antibodies, we identified interleukin-10 as the key mediator involved. Although peripheral blood mononuclear cells tolerized by Borrelia exhibited reduced TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA levels, the expression of the respective proteins on monocytes was not decreased, ruling out the possibility that tolerance to Borrelia is attributed to a reduced TLR2 expression. In summary, we characterized tolerance induced by B. burgdorferi, describing a model of desensitization which might mirror the immunosuppression recently attributed to the persistence of Borrelia in immunocompetent hosts.
A method of calculating the field over a plane aperture required to produce a given polar diagram (1946)

A summation method, especially adapted for numerical computation, is evolved for finding the magnitude and phase of the field distribution over a plane aperture which will yield an approximation to a specified polar diagram on one side of the aperture plane. The method is illustrated with a detailed example. A concise statement of numerical procedure is given.
Dimensional Accuracy of the Skull Models Produced by Rapid Prototyping Technology Using Stereolithography Apparatus (2006)

The purpose of this study was to determine the dimensional accuracy of the skull models produced by Rapid prototyping technology using stereolithography apparatus. Computed tomography images were captured from four dry normal adult human skulls. The resultant 2-D images were stored in Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format. The segmentation of the images was prepared in MIMICS software. The slice files were then exported to a stereolithography apparatus (SLA) to produce the replica of each skull. Eight linear measurements were repeatedly made between identified landmarks on each of the original skull and its replica model using an electronic digital calliper. Each of the linear measurements was repeated 5 times and the average was taken to determine the absolute difference and percent difference between the original skull and its replica model. The overall absolute difference between the four human adult skulls and its replica models was 0.23 mm with a standard deviation of 1.37 mm. The percent difference was 0.08% with a standard deviation of 1.25%. The degree of error established by this system seems affordable in clinical applications when these models are used in the field of dental surgery for surgical treatment planning.
