Review on Network Security and Cryptography (2015)

With the advent of the World Wide Web and the emergence of e-commerce applications and social networks, organizations across the world generate a large amount of data daily. Data security is the utmost critical issue in ensuring safe transmission of information through the internet. Also network security issues are now becoming important as society is moving towards digital information age. As more and more users connect to the internet it attracts a lot of cyber-criminals. It comprises authorization of access to information in a network, controlled by the network administrator. The task of network security not only requires ensuring the security of end systems but of the entire network. In this paper, an attempt has been made to review the various Network Security and Cryptographic concepts. This paper discusses the state of the art for a broad range of cryptographic algorithms that are used in networking applications.
Cardiac Arrhythmia: Current Therapy (1999)

Rhythm disturbances can range from the harmless to the life-threatening, and treatment varies accordingly, from watchful waiting to emergency intervention. Traditional antiarrhythmic medications have largely been supplanted by newer agents; pharmacologic therapy is giving way to device-based treatment, including pacemakers, defibrillators, and catheter ablation.
Multi-pass algorithm of motion estimation in video encoding for generic GPU (2006)

The importance of video encoding has boomed rapidly since video data communication was widely needed. In this paper, we propose a multi-pass algorithm to accelerate the motion estimation (ME), the dominant part in video encoding, with the graphics processing unit (GPU). By the multi-pass method to unroll and rearrange the multiple nested loops, the complex ME can be implemented on GPU. Besides, ME can be executed efficiently with the built-in parallel processing and texture filter of GPU. Experimental results show that, by utilizing the computing power of GPU, about two times and 14 times speed-up can be achieved for integer-pel ME and MPEG-1/2 half-pel ME, respectively
Development of retinal amacrine cells in the mouse embryo: Evidence for two modes of formation (1983)

Developing amacrine and ganglion cells have been graphically reconstructed from a series of 567 consecutive thin sections of the E17 mouse retina on the first day when an obvious inner plexiform layer (IPL) is present and 2 days later than for our previous study of amacrine cell formation at E15 (Hinds and Hinds ('78). At E17 amacrine cells of the neuroblastic layer (normally placed amacrine cells), unlike those at E15, appear to develop directly from ventricular cells; intermediate elements are bipolar-shaped cells with terminal arborization in the IPL. On the other hand, the development of displaced amacrine cells and some normally placed amacrine cells at E17 appears to closely resemble that described for all amacrine cells at E15: derivation from "ganglion cells" by loss of the axon and transformation of the cell. Three lines of evidence support this conclusion. (1) Cells have been found that resemble ganglion cells except that they have only an apparent axon remnant and have somata restricted to the IPL and the immediately adjacent portion of the ganglion cell layer (GCL); amacrine cells transitional between these cells and the smaller and darker, normally placed amacrine cells also occur in the IPL. (2) Axons of two ganglion cells have been found which appeared to be in the process of breaking up and degenerating. (3) The fraction of anaxonic cells with somata in the GCL (two out of 79, or 3%) or in the GCL plus IPL (ten out of 88 or 11%) is too small to account easily for the large fraction (probably at least 45%) of displaced amacrine cells found in the adult, even with conservative assumptions (P less than 0.05). A mathematical model suggests that approximately 40% of the ganglion cells present at E17 will lose their axon, and of these around half will migrate to the neuroblastic layer, while the other half will become displaced amacrine cells. The results suggest a natural explanation for the recent finding that wide field amacrine cells are found with somata on both sides of the IPL, while narrow field amacrine cells are never displaced: the former may be derived from ganglion cells by loss of the axon, while the latter may be formed directly from ventricular cells.
Lack of Transmission of HTLV-III/LAV Infection to Household Contacts of Patients with AIDS or AIDS-Related Complex with Oral Candidiasis (1986)

To determine the risk of transmission of human T-cell lymphotropic virus Type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (HTLV-III/LAV) to close but nonsexual contacts of patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), we studied the nonsexual household contacts of patients with AIDS or the AIDS-related complex with oral candidiasis. Detailed interviews, physical examinations, and tests for serum antibody to HTLV-III/LAV were performed on 101 household contacts of 39 AIDS patients (68 children and 33 adults), all of whom had lived in the same household with an index patient for at least three months. These contacts had shared household items and facilities and had close personal interaction with the patient for a median of 22 months (range, 3 to 48) during the period of presumed infectivity. Only 1 of 101 household contacts--a five-year-old child--had evidence of infection with the virus, which had probably been acquired perinatally rather than through horizontal transmission. This study indicates that household contacts who are not sexual partners of, or born to, patients with AIDS are at minimal or no risk of infection with HTLV-III/LAV.
Laser pulse compression by stimulated Brillouin scattering in tapered waveguides (1983)

The use of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) for laser pulse compression by backward wave amplification in a tapered waveguide offers an attractive alternative to systems based on SRS for use with narrowband laser pulses. Almost one hundred percent conversion efficiencies may be achieved since it is not seriously limited by second Stokes production and with the added advantage that the Stokes pulse is a phase conjugate of the input pulse, under appropriate conditions. Due to the characteristically long damping times of Brillouin-active media, the SBS process is transient. In this regime, the tail of the Stokes pulse may experience a gain and loss modulation with the laser field resulting in a breakup of the Stokes pulse. This effect can be controlled by the geometric taper on the waveguide. A practical consideration of the scaling of a Brillouin compressor to high-power laser systems, notably KrF, is presented. Specific compressor configurations for the extraction of laser pulses in the nanosecond time scale are presented, and a survey of some promising compressor media indicate the practical possibility of accomplishing compression by SBS.
COMPACT: a hybrid method for compressing test data (2002)

The overall throughput of automatic test equipment (ATE) is sensitive to the download time of test data. An effective approach to the reduction of the download time is to compress test data before the download. The authors introduced a test data compression method which outperforms other methods for compressing test data. Our previous method was based on the Burrows-Wheeler transformation on the sequence of test patterns and run-length coding. In this paper, we present a new method, called COMPACT, which further improves our previous method. The key idea of COMPACT is to employ two data compression schemes, run-length coding for data with low activity and GZIP for data with high activity. COMPACT increases the compression ratio of test data, on average, by 1.9 times compared with our previous method.
A Comparison of In-House Real-Time LAMP Assays with a Commercial Assay for the Detection of Pathogenic Bacteria (2015)

Molecular detection of bacterial pathogens based on LAMP methods is a faster and simpler approach than conventional culture methods. Although different LAMP-based methods for pathogenic bacterial detection are available, a systematic comparison of these different LAMP assays has not been performed. In this paper, we compared 12 in-house real-time LAMP assays with a commercialized kit (Isothermal Master Mix) for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli O157, E. coli O26, E. coli O45, E. coli O103, E. coli O111, E. coli O121, E. coli O145 and Streptococcus agalactiae. False-positive results were observed in all 12 in-house real-time LAMP assays, while all the negative controls of Isothermal Master Mix remained negative after amplification. The detection limit of Isothermal Master Mix for Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli O157, E. coli O26, E. coli O45, E. coli O103, E. coli O111, E. coli O121 and Streptococcus agalactiae was 1 pg, whereas the sensitivity of the commercialized kit for E. coli O145 was 100 pg. In conclusion, the 12 in-house real-time LAMP assays were impractical to use, while the commercialized kit Isothermal Master Mix was useful for the detection of most bacterial pathogens.
Surface-emitting distributed-feedback dye laser of a polymeric multilayer fabricated by spin coating (2006)

A distributed-feedback laser was demonstrated by using a fluorescent dye-doped polymer. The periodic structure of a one-dimensional photonic crystal was fabricated through spin coating and alternate stacking of high and low refractive-index polymers. The rhodamine-6G-doped multilayer showed a photonic band gap in the transmissivity spectrum at the fluorescent wavelength range. Laser emission from the surface of the multilayer was attained at the band edge for a pump of the second harmonic of a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser. Wavelength tuning was possible by spin coating a multilayer onto a concave substrate.
N-Heterocyclic carbene stabilized adducts of alkyl magnesium amide, bisalkyl magnesium and Grignard reagents: trapping oligomeric organo s-block fragments with NHCs (2010)

Developing N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) chemistry of simple organomagnesium compounds, this study reports the synthesis, X-ray crystallographic, and NMR spectroscopic characterization of three such new carbene complexes. The 1 : 1 alkyl magnesium amide : carbene complexes nBuMg(TMP)·IPr 1 and nBuMg(HMDS)·IPr 2 both exist as mononuclear complexes in the crystal but differ in solution as 2 remains intact whereas 1 undergoes a dynamic exchange involving partial decoordination of IPr [TMP is 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide; IPr is 1,3-bis-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene); HMDS is 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazide]. Reaction of commercial nBu(2)Mg with IPr surprisingly produced the organoaluminium carbene complex nBu(3)Al·IPr, 3, which also forms a simple mononuclear structure in the crystal. The presence of the Al could be traced to the deliberate addition of a small quantity of Et(3)Al as a stabilizing agent in the commercial nBu(2)Mg reagent. Repeating this reaction with Al-free nBu(2)Mg afforded the hemisolvated carbene complex nBu(8)Mg(4)·2IPr, 4, the stoichiometry of which is dictated by its structure rather than by that used in the initial reaction mixture. The molecular structure of 4 is tetranuclear with a linear chain of 4 Mg centres bridged by nBu ligands and capped at each end by terminal nBu and IPr ligands. Synthesized by treating the Grignard reagent nBuMgCl with IPr, nBuMgCl·IPr, 5, forms a cyclodimer structure with chloro bridges and terminal nBu and IPr ligands.
Development and field demonstration of a hardware-compressive fiber-optic true-time-delay steering system for phased-array antennas (1994)

Comparative interactomics for virus–human protein–protein interactions: <scp>DNA</scp> viruses versus <scp>RNA</scp> viruses (2016)

Viruses are obligatory intracellular pathogens and completely depend on their hosts for survival and reproduction. The strategies adopted by viruses to exploit host cell processes and to evade host immune systems during infections may differ largely with the type of the viral genetic material. An improved understanding of these viral infection mechanisms is only possible through a better understanding of the pathogen–host interactions ( PHI s) that enable viruses to enter into the host cells and manipulate the cellular mechanisms to their own advantage. Experimentally‐verified protein–protein interaction ( PPI ) data of pathogen–host systems only became available at large scale within the last decade. In this study, we comparatively analyzed the current PHI networks belonging to DNA and RNA viruses and their human host, to get insights into the infection strategies used by these viral groups. We investigated the functional properties of human proteins in the PHI networks, to observe and compare the attack strategies of DNA and RNA viruses. We observed that DNA viruses are able to attack both human cellular and metabolic processes simultaneously during infections. On the other hand, RNA viruses preferentially interact with human proteins functioning in specific cellular processes as well as in intracellular transport and localization within the cell. Observing virus‐targeted human proteins, we propose heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins and transporter proteins as potential antiviral therapeutic targets. The observed common and specific infection mechanisms in terms of viral strategies to attack human proteins may provide crucial information for further design of broad and specific next‐generation antiviral therapeutics.
MBE growth of high quality AlGaN/GaN HEMTs on resistive Si[111] substrate with RF small signal and power performances (2003)

For high-power and high-frequency electronic applications, the III-V nitride layers are usually grown on sapphire or silicon carbide substrates. However, the development of these applications on silicon substrates has obvious technological advantages (cost, integration). In the present work, AlGaN/GaN heterostructures are grown on a resistive [111] silicon substrate (4000-10000 /spl Omega/.cm) in a reactive molecular beam epitaxy system using ammonia (Riber Compact 21). The structural quality of the epilayers as well as electrical properties have been investigated. AlGaN/GaN HEMT devices with different gate lengths and source to drain spacings have been realized in order to investigate their static characteristics and RF power performances.
Multi-Agent Systems for Power Engineering Applications—Part II: Technologies, Standards, and Tools for Building Multi-agent Systems (2007)

This is the second part of a two-part paper that has arisen from the work of the IEEE Power Engineering Society's Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) Working Group. Part I of this paper examined the potential value of MAS technology to the power industry, described fundamental concepts and approaches within the field of multi-agent systems that are appropriate to power engineering applications, and presented a comprehensive review of the power engineering applications for which MAS are being investigated. It also defined the technical issues which must be addressed in order to accelerate and facilitate the uptake of the technology within the power and energy sector. Part II of this paper explores the decisions inherent in engineering multi-agent systems for applications in the power and energy sector and offers guidance and recommendations on how MAS can be designed and implemented. Given the significant and growing interest in this field, it is imperative that the power engineering community considers the standards, tools, supporting technologies, and design methodologies available to those wishing to implement a MAS solution for a power engineering problem. This paper describes the various options available and makes recommendations on best practice. It also describes the problem of interoperability between different multi-agent systems and proposes how this may be tackled.
A Federated Learning Based Privacy-Preserving Smart Healthcare System (2021)

The rapid development of the smart healthcare system makes the early-stage detection of dementia disease more user-friendly and affordable. However, the main concern is the potential serious privacy leakage of the system. In this article, we take Alzheimer's disease (AD) as an example and design a convenient and privacy-preserving system named <sc xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">ADDetector</small> with the assistance of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and security mechanisms. Particularly, to achieve effective AD detection, <sc xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">ADDetector</small> only collects user's audio by IoT devices widely deployed in the smart home environment and utilizes novel topic-based linguistic features to improve the detection accuracy. For the privacy breach existing in data, feature, and model levels, <sc xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">ADDetector</small> achieves privacy-preserving by employing a unique three-layer (i.e., user, client, cloud, etc.) architecture. Moreover, <sc xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">ADDetector</small> exploits <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">federated learning (FL) based scheme</i> to ensure the user owns the integrity of raw data and secure the confidentiality of the classification model and implement <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">differential privacy (DP) mechanism</i> to enhance the privacy level of the feature. Furthermore, to secure the model aggregation process between clients and cloud in FL-based scheme, a novel <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">asynchronous privacy-preserving aggregation framework</i> is designed. We evaluate <sc xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">ADDetector</small> on 1010 AD detection trials from 99 health and AD users. The experimental results show that <sc xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">ADDetector</small> achieves high accuracy of 81.9% and low time overhead of 0.7 s when implementing all privacy-preserving mechanisms (i.e., FL, DP, and cryptography-based aggregation).

The data presented here provide a comprehensive compilation of this fundamental (but often hard to come by) characteristic of ultraviolet lamps.
A phase I dose escalation trial of yttrium-90 microspheres in the treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (1992)

Intraarterial instillation of Y-90 microspheres appears to be safe and deserves additional evaluation to determine whether there is meaningful activity in patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma.
The implementation and evaluation of integrity maintenance rules in an object-oriented database (2003)

The authors describe an approach to the declarative representation of integrity constraints in an object-oriented database and the use of integrity maintenance rules for the active maintenance of constraints. A semantic data model is used to automatically generate class definitions and state-altering database operations with constraints represented as objects in the database. Integrity maintenance production rules are automatically generated from constraints and stored as extensions to class operations, hiding the details of constraint checking and rule triggering. High-level transactions call state-altering operations and invoke the integrity maintenance process at commit time. Integrity constraints are declaratively represented in the database system, with operations encapsulating rules about how to respond to constraint violations. An analysis of problems associated with cyclic and anomalous rule behavior.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Caffeine citrate enhanced cisplatin antitumor effects in osteosarcoma and fibrosarcoma in vitro and in vivo (2019)

This is the first report demonstrating that caffeine citrate has a significantly greater potentiating effect on cisplatin than adding either caffeine or citric acid. The combination of cisplatin with caffeine citrate is a novel treatment that might hold promise for improving the outcome of osteosarcoma and fibrosarcoma, which up till now has generally not responded well to chemotherapy.
