A Framework for Enabling Security Services Collaboration Across Multiple Domains (2017)

Collaboration among Security Service Functions (SSF) is expected to become as essential to SECaaS (SECurity as a Service) systems as elasticity is to IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). The virtualization opens new era in network security as new security appliances can be created on demand in appropriate places in the network. At the same time, the increasing size and diversity of attacks make it necessary to come up with new approaches for more efficient and more resilient security mechanisms. In this paper, we propose a new framework leveraging SDN (Software Defined Networking) and SFC (Service Function Chaining) to enhance the collaboration among different SSFs to mitigate large scale attacks. We describe a framework that allows SSFs from different domains to negotiate and dynamically control the amount of resources allocated for collaboration, in what we call a "best-effort" collaboration mode. This SSF collaboration framework creates a distributed mitigation system for handling large scale attacks in a dynamic and scalable manner. The efficiency and feasibility of this framework is experimentally assessed, showing that our approach incurs low overhead, increases the amount of traffic treated by SSFs and reduces the dropped traffic due to the lack of resources from the security mechanisms.
Pore pressure estimation - what can we learn from 4D (2002)

Abnormally high pore pressures in the subsurface pose a hazard to drilling operations worldwide. The problem is not unusual on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Knowledge of the pore pressure prior to drilling may reduce the risk related to drilling in high pressure zones. Pore pressure is also a vital paramter for producinig fields, and knowledge of how the pressure develops over time can be important for increased oil recovery. Seismic data contain information on the pore pressure and may contribute to increased understanding of subsurface pressure conditions. The thesis deals with methods for estimation of pressure from seismic velocity and amplitude data.

Practical Applications for Periplasmic Protein Accumulation (2014)

The biotechnology industry has exploited the unique properties of the periplasm to produce industrially relevant products. For efficient periplasmic protein accumulation to occur, events in the cytoplasm related to translation initiation and protein folding of the mature domain need to be coordinated. In this chapter the authors demonstrate that nucleotide changes in the translation initiation region of the gene profoundly influenced periplasmic protein accumulation. There are many documented examples of cytoplasmic proteins having positive effects on periplasmic protein accumulation of endogenous or recombinant proteins. A possible molecular explanation is that the cytoplasmic resident protein is preventing the preprotein from negative pathways, such as premature folding and inclusion body formation, and keeping the protein in an unfolded state and allowing efficient export. There are three possible fates for newly secreted proteins upon release into the periplasmic space. First, proteins can misfold and aggregate forming insoluble inclusion bodies. Second, proteins can be proteolyzed by endogenous periplasmic and membrane proteases where the protease domain of membrane proteases is located in the periplasm. Lastly, proteins can successfully fold into the correct conformation and exist as soluble, biologically active proteins. The lack of an identified chaperone system in the periplasm has been hindering the advancement of recombinant periplasmic protein accumulation. The combination of over-expression of periplasmic components participating in protein-folding pathways and the inclusion of chemical additives has been reported and shown to have positive benefits.
Role of Calcium in Photodynamically Induced Cell Damage of Human Fibroblasts (1996)

Photodynamically induced changes in the cytoplasmic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and its role in cell damage were investigated in human skin fibroblasts using confocal laser microscopy. Fluorescence and absorbance spectrophotometry measurements indicate that the photosensitizer aluminum phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate (AIPcS4) binds to the plasma membrane and only after irradiation is able to enter the cells, causing massive morphologic alterations. Upon irradiation of sensitizer-treated cells, the increase in [Ca2+]i is related to the amount of light and extracellular [Ca2+]e. The increase in [Ca2+]i was substantially reduced in the absence of [Ca2+]a. Cell damage or death after photodynamic treatment was prevented and shifted toward higher fluence by increasing [Ca2+]i at high [Ca2+]e and was greater at low [Ca2+]e. Application of Ca2+ channel blockers, such as Co2+, Cd2+ or verapamil, could not prevent the increase of [Ca2+]i. Our results indicate that activation of the photosensitizer, AIPcS4, causes an influx of Ca2+, which protects cells from, photodamage. At low [Ca2+]e and high fluence values, release of Ca2+ from internal stores probably as a protective measure occurs in order to increase the [Ca2+]i.
Impaired wound healing in embryonic and adult mice lacking vimentin (2000)

It is generally assumed that the vimentin intermediate filament network present in most mesenchymally-derived cells is in part responsible for the strength and integrity of these cells, and necessary for any tissue movements that require the generation of significant tractional forces. Surprisingly, we have shown that transgenic KO mice deficient for vimentin are apparently able to undergo embryonic development absolutely normally and go onto develop into adulthood and breed without showing any obvious phenotype. However, fibroblasts derived from these mice are mechanically weak and severely disabled in their capacity to migrate and to contract a 3-D collagen network. To assess whether these functions are necessary for more challenging tissue movements such as those driving in vivo tissue repair processes, we have analysed wound healing ability in wild-type versus vimentin-deficient embryos and adult mice. Wounds in vimentin-deficient adult animals showed delayed migration of fibroblasts into the wound site and subsequently retarded contraction that correlated with a delayed appearance of myofibroblasts at the wound site. Wounds made to vimentin-deficient embryos also failed to heal during the 24 hour culture period it takes for wild-type embryos to fully heal an equivalent wound. By DiI marking the wound mesenchyme and following its fate during the healing process we showed that this impaired healing is almost entirely due to a failure of mesenchymal contraction at the embryonic wound site. These observations reveal an in vivo phenotype for the vimentin-deficient mouse, and challenge the dogma that key morphogenetic events occurring during development require generation of significant tractional forces by mesenchymal cells.
Patient Monitors in Critical Care: Lessons for Improvement (2008)

Unexpected incidents are common in intensive care medicine. One means of detecting, diagnosing, and treating these events is use of physiologic displays that show the patients ’ vital signs. Monitors currently in use in intensive care units (ICUs) provide information in numerical and waveform formats, but most such displays originated in patient monitors developed for use by anesthesiologists. The present study focused on problems related to patient monitoring and needs of ICU nurses. Semistructured interviews of 26 experienced ICU nurses were employed to identify monitor usability problems. Among their comments, interviewed nurses mentioned that monitors now in use make it difficult to access vital sign trends and do not permit marking of events or interventions on trend displays. The present results indicate that patient monitoring in the ICU could be improved, but that such improvement will require identification of the tasks nurses perform and the development of new monitoring tools that fit their specific needs.
Extracellular <scp>DNA</scp> traps in allergic, infectious, and autoimmune diseases (2013)

Extracellular DNA traps are part of the innate immune response and are seen with many infectious, allergic, and autoimmune diseases. They can be generated by several different leukocytes, including neutrophils, eosinophils, and monocytes, as well as mast cells. Here, we review the composition of these extracellular DNA-containing structures as well as potential mechanisms for their production and function. In general, extracellular DNA traps have been described as binding to and killing pathogens, particularly bacteria, fungi, but also parasites. On the other hand, it is possible that DNA traps contribute to immunopathology in chronic inflammatory diseases, such as bronchial asthma. In addition, it has been demonstrated that they can initiate and/or potentiate autoimmune diseases. Extracellular DNA traps represent a frequently observed phenomenon in inflammatory diseases, and they appear to participate in the cross-talk between different immune cells. These new insights into the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases may open new avenues for targeted therapies.

Liposomal transfection of human γ-interferon gene into human glioma cells and adoptive immunotherapy using lymphokine-activated killer cells (1994)

The authors evaluated the effect of liposomal transfection of human gamma-interferon (HuIFN-gamma) gene into human glioma cells and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells, alone and in combination. An HuIFN-gamma gene inserted in a eukaryotic expression vector was entrapped in liposomes bearing positive surface charges. Liposomal gene transfection induced production of HuIFN-gamma and its secretion in culture medium of human glioma cell lines (SK-MG-1 and U-251 MG). At 4 days after transfection, the cells produced 10 to 50 U/ml of HuIFN-gamma in the medium, whereby the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and II antigens, as well as intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), were induced on the glioma cell surface. The growth-inhibiting effect of transfection-induced HuIFN-gamma was much stronger in comparison with control cultures exposed to 500 U/ml of exogenously added HuIFN-gamma. In addition, 20% to 40% growth inhibition was obtained in the glioma cells when they were treated with LAK cells alone at a 5:1 ratio of effector to target cells. Liposomal transfection of HuIFN-gamma gene into human glioma cells combined with immunotherapy using LAK cells was more effective than either technique alone. The reinforcement of growth inhibition in the case of combined therapy was quenched by anti-ICAM-1 monoclonal antibody, but not by anti-MHC class I or II monoclonal antibodies. These results suggest that the combined effect of liposomal transfection of HuIFN-gamma gene plus LAK cells into human glioma cells is a potentially useful therapy for malignant glioma, and that the mechanisms of the reinforcement of growth inhibition are closely related to the expression of ICAM-1 on the glioma cell surface.
Microwave sintering of alumina-SiC composites at 2. 45 and 60 GHz (1988)

Composites of alumina-10 vol % silicon carbide whiskers were sintered to 70% of theoretical density using both 2.45 and 60 GHz microwave radiation. Further densification was inhibited by formation of a constrained network of whiskers. Alumina-10 vol % silicon carbide platelet composites were sintered to 94% of theoretical density with 2.45 GHz microwaves in less than 20 minutes. 4 refs., 11 figs.
Linking the Cellular Functions of<i>BRCA</i>Genes to Cancer Pathogenesis and Treatment (2008)

Single-gene disorders that predispose to cancer afford a unique window into the mechanisms of carcinogenesis. I argue that the instability in chromosome structure and number provoked by inactivation of the breast cancer-susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 arises from the distinct functions served by their products in DNA repair or mitosis, explains many features of cancer pathogenesis in this setting, and has important implications for treatment. The chromosomal instability model proposed here suggests a conceptual framework for the connections between chromosomal aberrations and cancer.
An Efficient Technique for Mining Approximately Frequent Substring Patterns (2007)

Sequential patterns are used to discover knowledge in a wide range of applications. However, in many scenarios pattern quality can be low, due to short lengths or low supports. Furthermore, for dense datasets such as proteins, most of the sequential pattern mining algorithms return a tremendously large number of patterns, which are difficult to process and analyze. However, by relaxing the definition of frequency and allowing some mismatches, it is possible to discover higher quality patterns. We call these patterns Frequent Approximate Substrings or FAS-patterns and we introduce an algorithm called FAS-Miner, to handle the mining task efficiently. The experiments on real-world protein and DNA datasets show that FAS-Miner can discover patterns of much longer lengths and higher supports than standard sequential mining approaches.
CF4/O2 plasma etching and surface modification of polyimide films: Time-dependent surface fluorination and fluorination model (1990)

The interaction of CF4/O2 plasma mixtures with polyimide pyromellitic dianhydride–oxydianiline (PMDA-ODA) films is a complex process. In this investigation, the reactions of PMDA-ODA with a gas mixture containing 90% CF4/10% O2, as a function of treatment time, are studied with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Curve fitting of the resulting spectra yields the distribution of CFx species formed during reaction. A detailed reaction mechanism of F atom addition to PMDA-ODA is constructed on a simplified monomer unit. The experimental results fitted to the proposed model yield apparent reaction rate constants and the time dependent concentration of unstable surface species in the reaction zone.
Characteristics of Carbon Nanospheres Prepared from Locally Deoiled Asphalt (2013)

Iraqi deoil asphalt as a source of carbon is used to prepare the carbon nanospheres (CNS) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Asphalt after further chemical treatment to remove aromatic oil and impurities was crushed, weighted and evaporated under inert atmosphere using argon. The vapor/argon mixture was allowed to pass through high temperature zone 900°C in quartz tube over CO/Al 2 O 3 catalyst material. The carbon precipitated from the decomposition of asphalt vapor was collected and identified using atomic force microscope (AFM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), BET surface area technique and atomic force microscope. A sphere shape of carbon (94%) with nanosize and diameter less than 100 nm with surface area of 360 m 2 /g has been obtained.
Electrostatic decay measurement theory and applications (1995)

Electrostatic decay tests have gained increased attention as a controversial test method. Changes in capacitance and resistance are causes of unusual discharge rates. The EIA-541 calibration method is used to compare actual resistor decay time traces to homogeneous and non-homogeneous materials such as ESD epoxy flooring, dissipative paints, ESD bags, etc. Standard decay test instrumentation is compared to a variety of standard, non-standard, and proposed static decay tests.
CD8+ T-cell-mediated suppression of HIV-1 long terminal repeat-driven gene expression is not modulated by the CC chemokines RANTES, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α and MIP-1β (1997)

RANTES, MIP-1 alpha and MIP-1 beta do not alter HIV-1 LTR-directed gene expression at doses up to 100 ng/ml. Although present in varying concentrations in supernatants derived from CD8+ lymphocytes from HIV-positive individuals, these chemokines are not responsible for the powerful CD8-derived suppressive effect on HIV-1 LTR-mediated gene expression observed in our system.

Rewriting systems on FP expressions that reduce the number of sequences they yield (1984)

In this paper, we are interested in the application of program transformation for minimizing the number of intermediary sequences used in iterative programs. We shall use the FP language for presenting programs. The transformation rules are based on the algebra of functional programs. In contrast to the other systems of rules for program transformation, sets of rules presented here are convergent (i.e. finitely terminating and confluent) rewriting systems. These rewriting systems are the result of the Knuth-Bendix procedure applied to a set of equations. The equations are valided by the algebra of functional programs. We use the implementation of the Knuth-Bendix procedure in the system REVE. If REVE is applied to a set of equations and if it does not fail, then it returns a convergent rewriting set of rules. With such a rewriting system, the task of transforming a program is reduced to rewrite it until we get its normal form. Thus we propose a set of valid equations and we discuss how convergent rewriting systems can be generated using REVE.
The Computational and Storage Potential of Volunteer Computing (2006)

"Volunteer computing" uses Internet-connected computers, volunteered by their owners, as a source of computing power and storage. This paper studies the potential capacity of volunteer computing. We analyzed measurements of over 330,000 hosts participating in a volunteer computing project. These measurements include processing power, memory, disk space, network throughput, host availability, userspecified limits on resource usage, and host churn. We show that volunteer computing can support applications that are significantly more data-intensive, or have larger memory and storage requirements, than those in current projects.
Robust Servo System of Optical Disk Drive (1992)

The requirement for an optical disk drive to operate properly under the existence of violent external vibration has been growing because portability of the drive increases as it becomes miniaturized. In order to improve a servo system's resistance to external vibration, an objective lens velocity feedback method in a two-stage tracking servo system and two-degree-of-freedom velocity control drive of a linear motor during the seeking operation are proposed. These methods are incorporated in 90 mm optical disk drives, and a vibration test is performed to investigate improvements in the servo performance. When the vibration is 0.5 g at 50 Hz, the average seeking time increases only 10% when compared with the condition of no external vibration.
Kinetics and Cellular Site of Glycolipid Loading Control the Outcome of Natural Killer T Cell Activation (2009)

CD1d-restricted natural killer T cells (NKT cells) possess a wide range of effector and regulatory activities that are related to their ability to secrete both T helper 1 (Th1) cell- and Th2 cell-type cytokines. We analyzed presentation of NKT cell activating alpha galactosylceramide (alphaGalCer) analogs that give predominantly Th2 cell-type cytokine responses to determine how ligand structure controls the outcome of NKT cell activation. Using a monoclonal antibody specific for alphaGalCer-CD1d complexes to visualize and quantitate glycolipid presentation, we found that Th2 cell-type cytokine-biasing ligands were characterized by rapid and direct loading of cell-surface CD1d proteins. Complexes formed by association of these Th2 cell-type cytokine-biasing alphaGalCer analogs with CD1d showed a distinctive exclusion from ganglioside-enriched, detergent-resistant plasma membrane microdomains of antigen-presenting cells. These findings help to explain how subtle alterations in glycolipid ligand structure can control the balance of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory activities of NKT cells.
Enhanced reactivation and enhanced mutagenesis of herpes simplex virus in normal human and xeroderma pigmentosum cells. (1984)

Enhanced reactivation (ER) and enhanced mutagenesis (EM) of herpes simplex virus type 1 were studied simultaneously in UV-irradiated stationary cultures of diploid normal human and xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) fibroblasts. Mutagenesis was assayed with unirradiated herpes simplex virus type 1 as a probe in a forward mutation assay (resistance to iododeoxycytidine). Dose-response studies showed that ER increased with the UV dose given to the virus. Optimal reactivation levels were obtained when normal cells and XP variant cells were exposed to a UV dose of 8 J . m-2 and the virus was irradiated with 150 J . m-2. Repair-deficient XP cells of complementation groups A, C, and D showed optimal reactivation levels with a UV dose to the cells of 1.0 J . m-2 and a UV dose to the virus of 40 J . m-2. The time course of appearance of ER and EM was also studied, both in the normal and XP cells. In all cell types except the XP variant cells, EM followed similar kinetics of appearance as did ER. Maximal activities occurred when infection was delayed 1 or 2 days after cell treatment. In XP variant cells, however, maximal expression of the EM function was significantly delayed with respect to ER. The results indicate that ER and EM are transiently expressed in normal and repair-deficient XP cells. Although both phenomena may be triggered by the same cellular event, ER and EM appear to be separate processes that occur independently of each other.
Dynamic neural unit and function approximation (2002)

A dynamic model of a neuron for applications in robotics and control is developed. The proposed model, called the dynamic neural unit (DNU), comprises two distinct operations: the synaptic operation, which determines the optimum feedforward and feedback synaptic weights controlling the dynamics of the neuron; and the somatic operation, which determines the optimum gain of the nonlinear activation function for a given task. The function approximation capability of the network of DNUs is described by considering linear and trigonometric operators. Computer simulation results are presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
