Joint Task Offloading and User Scheduling in 5G MEC Under Jamming Attacks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we propose a novel joint task offloading and user scheduling (JTO-US) framework for 5G mobile edge computing (MEC) systems under security threats from jamming attacks. The goal is to minimize the delay and the ratio of dropped tasks, taking into account both communication and computation delays. The system model includes a 5G network equipped with MEC servers and an adversarial on-off jammer that disrupts communication. The proposed framework optimally schedules tasks and users to minimize the impact of jamming while ensuring that high-priority tasks are processed efficiently. Genetic algorithm (GA) is used to solve the optimization problem, and the results are compared with benchmark methods such as GA without considering jamming effect, Shortest Job First (SJF), and Shortest Deadline First (SDF). The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed JTO-US framework achieves the lowest drop ratio and effectively manages priority tasks, outperforming existing methods. Particularly, when the jamming probability is 0.8, the proposed framework mitigates the jammer's impact by reducing the drop ratio to 63%, compared to 89% achieved by the next best method.
Embryogenic Capabilities of Cotton through Tissue Culture and Expression Analysis of SERK3 for Regeneration Potential

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Plant tissue culture technique was used to develop a regeneration procedure in local Pakistani cotton varieties. Three cotton varieties Coker 312, CEMB66 and Klean cotton were cultured on MS media supplemented with vitamins and growth regulators. The results showed that the regeneration potential of Coker 312 was higher, CEMB 66 moderate while Klean cotton lacks the cotton regeneration potential. The molecular analysis identified the Somatic Embryogenesis Receptor Kinase3 (SERK3) gene and its expression analysis confirmed that it plays role for embryo formation through tissue culture. Its low expression resulted in calli to die rather than forming embryos. Therefore, SERK3 gene is considered important for callus induction and its development into primary embryogenic and embryogenic stage. Further investigations will be helpful to understand the mechanism of regeneration potential of cotton through tissue culture.
More common hawk moths : the Death's Head Hawk and the Fulvous Hawk

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In a previous article on common hawk moths I described the general characteristics of hawk moths (Sphingidae or sphinx moths) and dealt in some detail with the Common Striped Hawk and the African Humming Bird Hawk. I shall now introduce two other common hawk moths that also turn up in many places including private gardens, especially if there are foodplants for their larvae on offer.
EVALUATION OF DOWNY MILDEW (HYALOPERONOSPORA BRASSICAE) INFECTION SEVERITY ON DIFFERENT CRUCIFEROUS OILSEED CROPS

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Diseases constitute an important economic problem in oilseed rape (Brassica napus) cultivation. Although downy mildew has been counted so far as a minor disease, under intensive cultivation system and short rotation interval, the impact of diseases could increase in the future, especially under predicted more humid northern climatic conditions. This research study is the first report about the severity of downy mildew infection on cruciferous crops in Estonia. During two years (2010 − 2011), downy mildew infection severity was assessed in six different cruciferous crops (B. napus, B. juncea, B. nigra, Sinapis alba, Raphanus sativus, Eruca sativa) in field trials located in Eerika, Tartu County, Estonia. On both study years, four disease assessments were done. Downy mildew infection started a week earlier in 2010, but the overall disease pressure was lower compared to 2011. Based on our field trial results, S. alba, E. sativa and R. sativus plants were significantly more resistant to downy mildew compared to other tested crops. Furthermore, in 2010 downy mildew symptoms were not recorded on two cruciferous species E. sativa and R. sativus. Brassica nigra and B. napus plants were the most susceptible to downy mildew, with especially severe infection in 2011. Based on our two years data, downy mildew can damage foliage on spring oilseed rape (B. napus) and black mustard (B. nigra) in a notable extent. We conclude that downy mildew is an important pathogen, which should be monitored on different oilseed cruciferous crops in Estonia.
Psychological characteristics of users of child pornography on the internet

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This thesis uses the Integrated Theory of Sexual Offending (Ward & Beech, 2006) as a framework by which to investigate the psychological characteristics of individuals who access sexually explicit material involving children on the Internet. Chapter one reviews the applicability of sex offender theory to internet offender behaviour. Chapter two compares internet and contact sex offenders on a battery of self-report assessments, finding that internet offenders demonstrated greater victim empathy, fewer offence-supportive attitudes, and greater identification with fictional characters. Chapter three compared internet, contact and mixed internet/contact offenders on the same assessments, finding that mixed offenders were more similar to internet than contact offenders, with unique problems with self-management. Chapter four examined internet-specific offence-supportive attitudes in internet offenders, finding that endorsement levels were generally low, that items related to sexual compulsivity were most frequently endorsed, and that high-frequency online sex users endorsed more sexual compulsivity items and individuals without long-term relationships endorsed more online identity items. Chapter five examined the effects of exposure to sexually-salient material on decision-making, finding that previously-reported significant effects could not be replicated and that internet offenders did not differ from non-offender controls. The results are discussed in terms of theoretical and practical implications, further research, and methodological limitations.

Origin of lingual proprioceptive afferents in Japanese monkey, M. fuscata fuscata. Studied by HRP-labeling technique.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The peripheral course of the axon of the lingual proprioceptive neurons in 5 Japanese monkeys was studied by injecting HRP into the distal part of the hypoglossal nerve through the proximal stump. The present authors confirmed that the HRP-labeled cell bodies appeared ipsilaterally in the C2, C3 and C4 spinal ganglia. The afferents to the C2, C3 and C4 ganglia pass through the ansa hypoglossi and direct neuronal anastomosis existing between the first cervical nerve and the hypoglossal nerve. It was confirmed that in the Japanese monkey, having abundant muscle spindles in the tongue, the lingual proprioceptive neuron soma exist in the C2, C3 and C4 spinal ganglia, their peripheral axons passing through the ansa hypoglossi and the direct neuronal anastomosis.
Survey on the antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance during 2005 to 2006

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objectives To investigate the pattern of antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance tendency in a tertiary children's hospital. Methods Detailed antibiotic utilization in hospitalized patients was retrospectively reviewed using the hospital medical records from Jan. 2005 to Dec. 2006. The use of antibiotics was expressed in defined daily dose(DDD). The case report form(CRF)was created based on the standard of diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. From the medical history of patients the CRF forms were filled out in selected patients with respiratory diseases or infectious diseases,and patients in pediatric intensive care unit. So the basic information of patients and pattern of antibiotics use were obtained. Meanwhile,the bacteria were isolated and identified,and the susceptibility was tested by using Kirby-Bauer. The results were interpreted in accordance with NCCLS 2005 year guideline. Eight species of most often isolated bacteria,such as Staphylocccus aureus,and their antibiotic resistance tendency in two years were evaluated. Results The proportions of the cost of antibiotics in all drugs were 51.88% in 2005 and 48.17% in 2006 respectively. The percentages of DDDs of antibiotics in all drugs' were 11.53% in 2005 and 11.95% in 2006 respectively. Antibiotics were used in 63.29% patient during two years. On average hospitalized patients were given 3.14 different antibiotics. Eight species of 5767 strains of bacteria were isolated 60.20% bacteria were gram negative most of them were Enterobacteria(25.30%),Klebsiellar pneumoniae(23.25%),P. aeruginosa(7.82%)and Haemophilus influenzae(3.83%). The separation of extended spectrum B-lactamase(ESBL)were seen in more than 50% bacillus bacterium. Imipenem,Cefepime and Ciprofloxacin were the most potant antibacterial for bacillus bacterium. 39.80% bacteria were gram positive most of them were pneumococcus (21.00%)and Staphylocccus aureus(16.79%). The percentages of pneumococcus resistant to penicillin were 63.18% in 2005 and 63.45% in 2006. The percentages of Staphylocccus aureus resistent to penicillin were 93.54% in 2005 and 95.89% in 2006. Conclusions The total expenditure of antibiotics remains at a high level. The extended spectrum B-lactamase(ESBL)is still the major problem in gram negative germ. Vancomyein-resistant Enterococcus has not been discovered. It is urgent to conduct epidemiological investigation and to take appropriate measures in control of bacterial resistance.
A design and implementation of IoT based on earlier recognition and intimation of wild animals attack on farming lands

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Nowadays "Internet of things" is commonly used in fitness, agriculture, hospitality, intelligent environments. We are focusing on agriculture, forests and wild animals in this proposed scheme. In this scheme, we use the Internet of things to deter the assault on farm fields closer to the forest by wild animals. We use the motion sensors, sound sensors and camera in this project to track animal movements at the forest edge. The controller shall decide and command speakers for the production of noise, according to information from the sensors, to prevent them from entering farmland and crossing the wood boundary. Simultaneously information's related to animal intrusion will be send to the nearby forest office, farmers with the help of IOT to take safety precautions measures. The primary objective is to avoid the destruction of bodies to defend the land formed from wild animals, causing considerable harm to farmland. Farming plays an important role in India. Farmer is our country's principal backbone. More than 70% of the Indians rely on farm incomes. But Indian farmers face many challenges, including attacks on the crops by wild animals. These attacks on wild animals contribute to crop destruction, killing farmers, home animals and wildlife. Our main objective is to track and avoid wild animals in the villages outside the forest areas beforehand. The disadvantages are "Crops wastage due to the attack of wild animals, sometimes unexpectedly Human deaths also occur, and Wild animals affected because of electric shocks".
Absent Subsequences in Words

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

An absent factor of a string w is a string u which does not occur as a contiguous substring (a.k.a. factor) inside w. We extend this well-studied notion and define absent subsequences: a string u is an absent subsequence of a string w if u does not occur as subsequence (a.k.a. scattered factor) inside w. Of particular interest to us are minimal absent subsequences, i.e., absent subsequences whose every subsequence is not absent, and shortest absent subsequences, i.e., absent subsequences of minimal length. We show a series of combinatorial and algorithmic results regarding these two notions. For instance: we give combinatorial characterisations of the sets of minimal and, respectively, shortest absent subsequences in a word, as well as compact representations of these sets; we show how we can test efficiently if a string is a shortest or minimal absent subsequence in a word, and we give efficient algorithms computing the lexicographically smallest absent subsequence of each kind; also, we show how a data structure for answering shortest absent subsequence-queries for the factors of a given string can be efficiently computed.
The Effects of School Climate on Sixth Form Teachers’ Self-Efficacy in Malaysia

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In Malaysia, sixth form is a post-secondary education that is comparable to pre-university programs such as A-level and Foundation qualifications. Enrolment in sixth forms has dwindled over the past ten years due to assumptions that the curriculum is difficult and because it is offered in regular secondary schools. Thus, the sixth form transformation program was introduced in 2015 with the purpose to rebrand sixth form education to a new setting comparable to other pre-university education, with a focus on improving the school climate and increasing teacher self-efficacy. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the level and relationship of the school climate on teacher self-efficacy. This survey was carried out using a questionnaire instrument, involving 695 sixth form teachers currently in Selangor. The findings showed that the level of school climate and teacher self-efficacy in all sixth form centers were at a high level. There was also a strong positive relationship between the school climate and sixth form teachers’ self-efficacy. Social and academic dimensions contributed significantly to the teacher self-efficacy of 38%. Hence, further studies looking at aspects that suggestively contribute to the school climate should be given due attention to ensure that transformation planning can be implemented as intended.
[Internal male pseudo-hermaphrodism (male with a uterus). Apropos of 6 cases].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Internal male pseudo-hermaphrosdism (man with a uterus) constitutes an uncommon range of sexual ambiguity. Regard to 6 personal case histories covering 3 families of 2 brothers, and gazing on the different cases picking out the literature, some problems are looking on successively: concerning the etiopathogenesis, the genetical transferring way, the aspect of the mullerian duct structures and of the male internal genital canals, the prognosis and the chirurgical therapy of this disease which is founded by chance, most of the times during the chirurgical therapy of a cryptorchidy or during a laparotomy.
Railways and commemoration: anniversaries, commemorative cultures and the making of railway history in Britain

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Since the nineteenth century, communities connected to the railways industry have and continue to show a strong interest in their history and heritage. While historians of technology and industry are increasingly examining the wider impact of these inventions and innovations, there is room to analyse how the different facets of the railways have impacted social relationships and encounters, and how this self-reflection has been translated into commemorative practice. Examining the different customs and traditions that were created to celebrate railway history, and signalled toward its developments in the present and future, offers a unique insight into how the past has shaped and reshaped the identities of railway communities and the industry more broadly. \nCommemoration, or the performative use of history and social memory, is the central concept of the thesis. This involves a number of revolving spheres of actions and thoughts that come together to define and shape the functions of these practices. Focussing on this practice as a social phenomenon, this thesis examines the forms and functions of commemorations of the British railway industry from the nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century. \nTaking examples from a range of communities and geographical locations, it analyses how and why narratives about the history of the industry have been strategically mobilised through commemorative practices, from larger national practices down to the cultures that functioned for smaller communities. These include commemorations by and for railway companies and unions, personal celebrations of friends and colleagues, events organised for enthusiasts and interest groups, commemorative practices about and supported by heritage organisations, and celebrations of symbols of the industry. \nOverall, this thesis argues that commemoration is an important tool for socialising the narratives and temporality of British railways, and illuminates how and why communities associated with this industry engaged with their shared history.
Elastic resistance training in people with COPD: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Elastic resistance training can be a practical and low-cost alternative to conventional weight resistance training. Although elastic resistance is portable and may be a very promising alternative, a systematic review of the current evidence on the effectiveness of this intervention in people with COPD has not been undertaken. Aim: To investigate the effectiveness of elastic resistance training on improving muscle strength, functional exercise capacity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and dyspnea in people with stable COPD. Methods: We searched PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Embase, PEDro, SciELO and CINAHL up to November 2019. Randomized clinical trials in which people with COPD were allocated to an experimental group (elastic resistance training) or to a control group that received either (i) no/sham resistance training (i.e. non-exercise control) or (ii) resistance training using weights/weight machines (i.e. conventional resistance training) were included. Two independent authors screened/identified the studies for inclusion. Meta-analyses were performed. Results: Eight studies on 332 participants were included. Compared to the non-exercise control group, knee extensors strength was higher in the elastic resistance training group (standardized mean difference [95% CI] 0.52 [0.09 to 0.95]). No difference in muscle strength, functional exercise capacity, HRQoL and dyspnea was demonstrated between elastic resistance training and conventional resistance training (95% CI transversed the line of no effect for all). Conclusions: The current review suggests elastic resistance as a potential alternative to conventional resistance training in people with COPD.
Colpotomy in total laparoscopic hysterectomy without using an energy source: a new approach

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Structured Abstract : At present, energy source is used, either monopolar current or harmonic scalpel in total laparoscopic hysterectomy for colpotomy. This is associated with lateral thermal damage to adjacent organs. The risk of scar dehiscence is high as compared to abdominal hysterectomy The objective of the new technique is to reduce these complications. The colpotomy is done by blade and scissors through the vaginal tube and not by any energy source. The cut edge is sharp making it easy to pick full thickness. Colpotomy is quicker than by using energy source, there are no toxic fumes thus visibility is not affected. Cardinal ligaments are tied to edge of vaginal angle, as is done in abdominal hysterectomy. Key words: colpotomy, energy source, laparoscopic hysterectomy, ureteral injury
Corporate Philanthropy Affecting Consumer Patronage Behavior: The Effect of Reciprocity and the Moderating Roles of Vicarious Licensing and Strategic Fit

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This study investigates the manner in which corporate philanthropy affects consumer patronage toward a brand. In so doing, we propose reciprocity as a key mechanism, which manifests the effect of corporate philanthropy on patronage behavior, and examine how vicarious licensing and strategic fit would mitigate the relationship between reciprocity and patronage behavior. The results indicate that reciprocity significantly increases one’s intention to participate in the philanthropic activities that a company supports and the intention to purchase its products. Vicarious licensing is found to lessen the effects of reciprocity on participation intention and purchasing intention. Strategic fit strengthens the path from participation intention to purchasing intention.

A Low-Cost High-Speed Pulse Response Based Built-In Self Test For Analog Integrated Circuits

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents a pulse response-based builtin self test technique and implementation for the testing of analog integrated circuits in mixed-signal systems. This BIST technique employs two narrow width pulses as input stimuli, and monitors two voltage samples on pulse response waveform for fault detection through allowable tolerances. The BIST system implementation realizes a programmable delay line for generating pulse stimuli, and a sample-and-hold circuit with comparators for fault detection process. Demonstrations of the testing for a Sallen-Keylow-pass ¯lter using 0.18-?m CMOS technology yields relatively high fault coverage. The fault coverage of catastrophic faults is 100%, and the fault coverage of capacitor and resistor variations are 93.75% and 87.5%, respectively. The proposed BIST technique uses low testing time within two short pulse response waveforms, and o®ers low implementation cost since onchip sinusoidal stimuli, test algorithms, and external digital processing unit are not necessary.
Ecology of epiphyllous stages of endophytes and implications fro horizontal dissemination

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Experiments were conducted to examine aspects of the ecology of the epiphyllous stage of a Neotyphodium endophyte on leaves of Poa ampla (big bluegrass) plants. Conidia were found to be readily water dispersed and to survive for several weeks on leaf surfaces. Neotyphodium was found to colonise excised grass leaves and grow on growing meristems of seedlings. The significance of epiphyllous stages of endophytes was also evaluated and discussed. Keywords: Clavicipitaceae, Neotyphodium, conidia, dissemination, water dispersal, endophytes, epiphytes, epiphyllous, big bluegrass, Poa ampla
