Work in Progress: Bro-LAN Pervasive Network Inspection and Control for LAN Traffic

Network intrusion detection and prevention systems (NIDS and NIPS) have to date focused on protecting external access links, or, when internally deployed, links between major enclaves in an enterprise. As previously argued, major threats (worms, insiders, and attackers with a toehold) come from inside the local network, rather than outside. Recently, two approaches have arisen to address this threat: ubiquitous deployment of end system monitors and custom hardware to replace switching infrastructure. This paper presents a third way: exploiting the VLAN capabilities of modern switches to enforce that all LAN communications must traverse and meet the approval of an intrusion detection monitor that operates separately from the switches. This architecture can realize two key benefits: (1) deployment and operation in today's enterprise networks without requiring replacement of existing network infrastructure, and (2) the use of highly flexible, commodity PCs for LAN monitoring, rather than algorithms embedded in difficult-to-reprogram custom hardware

Screening of Placental Proteins Against Proteases for their Potential Use in Osteoarthritis: A Computational Approach

Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint condition owing to increasing articular cartilage weakening and deterioration. Novel agents targeting articular cartilage molecular mechanisms seem to be most promising. The placental tissues are biocompatible, immunoprivileged and rich in bio factors such as growth factors, cytokines, extracellular matrix and proteins. Placental proteins might reduce cartilage degradation through suppressing the expression of matrix metalloproteases. This study focuses on screening placental proteins against proteases using protein-protein docking and dynamic studies. Protein-protein docking was performed on twenty-six ligand proteins present in placental tissue against matrix metalloproteinase 13 by ZDOCK server and visualized through Biovia Discovery studio. Molecular dynamic study was carried out by DESMOND. Most of the placental proteins were found to have better binding to matrix metalloproteinase 13. Protein-protein docking study showed scores ranging from 1046.272 to 2229.332. Among all the proteins, metalloproteinase inhibitor 3 and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 scores were found to be 2229.332 and 2131.215 respectively. These ligand proteins bound tightly with the target protein, indicated by greater number of hydrogen bond interactions on the surfaces. Molecular dynamic studies were carried out for the two complexes, complex was found to be stable during molecular dynamic simulation. From the results, metalloproteinase inhibitor 3 and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 of placenta are found to be a promising candidate for the treatment of osteoarthritis. Based on these findings placental protein can be explored for its anti-arthritis property.

Teacher-Student’s Instructional Communication: A Case Study of Students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (SwADHD) in Inclusive Classroom

The purpose of this study is to explore the types of instructional communication between general teacher (GT) and ADHD students (SwADHD) during activities of the: pre-instructional, instructional process, and instructional evaluation. Data collection was carried out by observation and interviews. The data analysis used was thematic analysis. The results showed that the types of instructional communication between GT and SwADHD were: verbal, non-verbal, and verbal-non-verbal. The three types of instructional communication aim to: improve the socio-emotional relationship between GT and SwADHDs, reduce negative behavior that often appears in SwADHDs in the classroom, and improve quality of instruction; to achieve quality educational goals according to their characteristics and needs. The type of communication used between GT and SwADHDs has a significant impact on teachers in developing individual education programs. These result in a more humane experience for SwADHDs both academically and non-academically.

<b>MiR-155 promotes compensatory lung growth by inhibiting JARID2 activation of CD34</b><sup><strong>+ </strong></sup><b>endothelial progenitor cells</b>

Bone marrow-derived CD34-positive (CD34<sup>+</sup>) endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) has unique functions in the mechanism of compensatory lung growth (CLG). The content of this study is mainly to describe the effect of microRNA (miR)-155 in the mechanisms of EPCs and CLG. Our study found that transfection of miR-155 mimic could promote EPC proliferation, migration and tube formation, while transfection of miR-155 inhibitor had the opposite effect. It was also found that transfection of pc-JARID2 inhibited EPC proliferation, migration and tube formation, while transfection of si-JARID2 had the opposite effect. miR-155 can target and negatively regulate JARID2 expression. Overexpression of JARID2 weakened the promoting effects of miR-155 mimic on EPC proliferation, migration, and tubular formation, while silencing JARID2 weakened the inhibitory effects of miR-155 inhibitors on EPC proliferation, migration, and tubular formation. Transplantation of EPCs transfected with miR-155 mimic into the left lung model effectively increased lung volume, total alveolar number, diaphragm surface area, and lung endothelial cell number, while transplantation of EPCs co-transfected with miR-155 mimic and pc-JARID2 reversed this phenomenon. Overall, we found that miR-155 activates CD34<sup>+ </sup>EPC by targeting negative regulation of JARID2 and promotes CLG.

Some clinical factors contributing to the development of the diabetic foot.

Clinical neurological studies, blood pressure measurements and some haematological investigations were performed on a random sample of forty-four patients, at the Diabetes Out-Patient Clinic of the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI), to examine some of the factors that predispose to the development of the diabetic foot. Our results revealed that 86% of the patients had elevated glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1 > 9.0%), 82% had clinical signs of peripheral sensory neuropathy, 29% had signs of autonomic neuropathy in addition to peripheral sensory neuropathy. Sixty-one per cent (61%) of the patients had ankle/arm systolic blood pressure ratio less than 1.0 and were diagnosed as having peripheral vascular disease (PVD). The group with neuropathy was found to have a significantly lower diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.0005) than the group without neuropathy. We believe that hyperglycaemia-induced vasodilation (indicated by a lower diastolic blood pressure) in a significant number of diabetics resulted in compensatory shunting of blood from the deeper tissues, including nerves, to the periphery. The resulting endoneural hypoxia could be responsible for the unusually high incidence of peripheral sensory neuropathy detected in this sample of diabetic patients. Metabolic factors may also play a role.

Ultra‐thin (002)‐oriented Al‐doped zinc oxide transparent electrode grown on oxygen‐controlled homo‐seed layer

Abstract Highly (002)‐oriented Al‐doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films with the thickness of less than 200 nm have been deposited on an oxygen‐controlled homo‐seed layer at 200 °C by DC magnetron sputtering. With the homo‐seed layer being employed, the full‐width at half maximum (FWHM) of the (002) diffraction peak for the AZO ultra‐thin films decreased from 0.33° to 0.22°, and, the corresponding average grain size increased from 26.8 nm to 43.0 nm. The XRD rocking curves revealed that the AZO ultra‐thin film grown on the seed layer deposited in atmosphere of O 2 /Ar of 0.09 exhibited the most excellent structural order. The AZO ultra‐thin film with homo‐seed layer reached a resistivity of 4.2 × 10 –4 Ω cm, carrier concentration of 5.2 × 10 20 cm –3 and mobility of 28.8 cm 2 V –1 s –1 . The average transmittance of the AZO ultra‐thin film with homo‐seed layer reached 85.4% in the range of 380–780 nm including the substrate. (© 2014 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

John T. Noonan as Judge: What Can Empathic Judging Mean for Women?

Judge Noonan's book, Persons and Masks of the Law,1 written a decade before he became judge, stirred up both hope and skepticism. On the one hand, readers felt drawn to what today might be called a kinder, gentler vision of judging.2 It is a vision that insists on viewing people in their full and connected humanity, rather than as the abstracted and partial legal constructs that filter through the laws of evidence and trial court decisions to the briefs and arguments that appellate judges see. On the other hand, some readers expressed concern that the richer contextualization Noonan had modeled could not, by itself, determine particular outcomes.3 Those contextualizing facts require interpretation and

Semi-automatic 3-D segmentation of Computed Tomographic imagery by iterative gradient-driven volume growing

We propose a novel gradient driven methodology for three dimensional (3-D) segmentation of Computed Tomographic (CT) imagery. Our approach begins interactively where-in a user marks a set of voxels within the cross-section of a Sub-Volume Of Interest (SVOI), using a single slice of the CT volume. Subsequently, a 3-D gradient detection scheme is utilized to determine the radiodensity variations across the volume. The resultant gradient information is employed in an iterative volume growing procedure, which is initiated at voxels with small gradient magnitudes adjoining the user-selected voxels and culminates at voxels with large gradient magnitudes, to arrive at the final 3-D segmentation result of the SVOI. The aforementioned method was tested on multiple studies and the results show favorable performance against a state-of-the-art technique.

Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Hemodialysis Patients: Treatment Outcomes and Drug-drug Interactions Management

Objectives:The aim of this study was to evaluate the success of the paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir/dasabuvir (PROD), ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/ SOF) and peginterferon (Peg-IFN) alfa-2a in the elimination of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in HCV positive hemodialysis patients, and to assess the management of concomitant drug-drug interactions in patients receiving direct acting antiviral (DAA).Materials and Methods:The demographical characteristics, comorbid diseases, laboratory data, and treatment regimen and duration of 10 patients who were infected with HCV genotype 1 were retrospectively screened from the electronic hospital records. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to treatment regimen: PROD, LDV/SOF and Peg-IFN. Data on virologic response, adverse events, and biochemical and hematological parameters during and after therapy were analyzed. Also, concomitant drug use and drug-drug interactions were evaluated in patients receiving DAA regimen.Results:The median age was 48 (21-74) years, 5 (50%) of patients were female. 2 patients (20%) received LDV/SOF, 5 (50%) PROD and 3 (30%) Peg-IFN. Six of patients (60%) were HCV treatment-experienced and were failed to previous Peg-IFN therapy. All patients achieved sustained virologic response (100%). At the end of the one-year follow-up period, none of patients presented with HCV reactivation, and thus HCV was eliminated from our hemodialysis unit. No patient experienced serious adverse event leading to medication discontinuation during the course of treatment. Drug-drug interactions had to be modified with the treatment initiation in 2 out of 7 patients who received DAA.Conclusion:When multidrug use and comorbidities in hemodialysis patients are considered, multidisciplinary approach led by nephrologist are very important for increased access to treatment and more effective management of patients.

Representations of Home in Obasan and Nihonjin: The Issei, Nisei, Sansei of Canada and Brazil

Joy Kogawa’s <em>Obasan </em>(1981) and Oscar Nakasato’s <em>Nihonjin </em>(2011) are two novels that narrate the lives of Japanese diaspora in Canada and Brazil respectively. Both countries share a rich tradition of Japanese migration during the late 19<span>th </span>and early 20<span>th </span>centuries, which, while distinct in important ways, has resulted in a significant body of cultural production. In this article, I examine spatiotemporal treatments of the home space in <em>Obasan </em>and <em>Nihonjin</em>, arguing that this realm serves two primary functions: 1) as a site for the expression and construction of identity 2) as a point of disruption and resistance in the face of cultural, linguistic and national alienation. Examining Japanese migration literature from a comparative lens sheds light on the past as a gateway to the present, while nuancing national discourses around race and ethnicity. Although these two narratives are separated by thousands of miles and thirty years in their publication dates, Japanese migrant tales from Brazil and Canada teach us diverse and intersecting lessons about ethnic heritage and cultural plurality. The domestic space is particularly critical for observing these crossings as its attention to language, food culture and other artifacts reveals a multi-layered experience.

A new model for physical layer security in cellular networks

In this paper, we study physical layer security for the downlink of cellular networks. In a cellular network, the confidential messages transmitted to each mobile user can be eavesdropped by the other users in the same cell and also by the users in the other cells. We model the locations of base stations and mobile users as two independent two-dimensional Poisson point processes. By combining tools from stochastic geometry and random matrix theory, we analyze the secrecy rates achievable with regularized channel inversion (RCI) precoding under Rayleigh fading. Our analysis shows that unlike isolated cells, the secrecy rate in a cellular network does not grow monotonically with the transmit power. Moreover, we find that the network tends to be in secrecy outage if the transmit power grows unbounded. Furthermore, we show that there exists an optimal value for the base station deployment density that maximizes the secrecy rate.

PPFM: Image denoising in photon-counting CT using single-step posterior sampling Poisson flow generative models

Diffusion and Poisson flow models have shown impressive performance in a wide range of generative tasks, including low-dose CT image denoising. However, one limitation in general, and for clinical applications in particular, is slow sampling. Due to their iterative nature, the number of function evaluations (NFE) required is usually on the order of $10-10^3$, both for conditional and unconditional generation. In this paper, we present posterior sampling Poisson flow generative models (PPFM), a novel image denoising technique for low-dose and photon-counting CT that produces excellent image quality whilst keeping NFE=1. Updating the training and sampling processes of Poisson flow generative models (PFGM)++, we learn a conditional generator which defines a trajectory between the prior noise distribution and the posterior distribution of interest. We additionally hijack and regularize the sampling process to achieve NFE=1. Our results shed light on the benefits of the PFGM++ framework compared to diffusion models. In addition, PPFM is shown to perform favorably compared to current state-of-the-art diffusion-style models with NFE=1, consistency models, as well as popular deep learning and non-deep learning-based image denoising techniques, on clinical low-dose CT images and clinical images from a prototype photon-counting CT system.

IgE antibodies to foods are not a feature of cystic fibrosis.

It has been suggested that patients with cystic fibrosis have abnormal immune responses to foods. We have measured IgE antibodies to inhalants and foods (by RAST) in 105 patients with cystic fibrosis aged between 8 months and 28 years. Serum IgE was elevated (greater than 180 kU/l) in 21 patients. In 43, IgE antibodies were detected in serum. The majority of positive results were with house-dust mite, grass pollen or Aspergillus. Only four of the patients had a positive RAST to a food--one to milk, one to wheat and two to egg. On the basis of high serum IgE or positive RAST results, 44.8 per cent of the patients were atopic and the frequency of atopy was age-related, being higher in patients aged 4 years or more. However, the presence of food antibodies was unrelated to age. This study confirms the high prevalence of atopy in patients with cystic fibrosis but unequivocally demonstrates that the presence of IgE antibodies to foods in their serum is rare.

Parents and partners

Prior work examining intimate partner violence (IPV) among young adults often has emphasized familial characteristics, such as parent–child physical aggression (PCPA), and romantic relationship dynamics, such as jealousy and controlling behaviors, but has not considered these two domains simultaneously. Likewise, research examining how these two domains affect IPV perpetration over time for young adults is still limited. Using five waves of data from the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study ( N = 950), the present study examined the influence of parent–child relationship factors and romantic relationship dynamics in both their main and interactive effects on IPV perpetration spanning adolescence through young adulthood. Results from random-effects analyses indicated that both familial and romantic relationship dynamics should be taken into account when predicting IPV perpetration. Importantly, these two domains interacted to produce cumulatively different risk for engaging in violence against a romantic partner. Individuals were more likely to perpetrate IPV when their romantic relationship was characterized by verbal aggression if they reported PCPA experiences.

Two cases of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans -in the head and neck-

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon, slow growing malignant tumor of the skin. DFSP often arises in the skin of the trunk or proximal limbs, but it is rare in the head and neck. We report two cases of DFSP in the head and neck. Case 1: A 61-year-old female had a slow growing mass for 20 years in the center of the anterior neck. A 40×32 mm tumor was diagnosed as DFSP by incisional cutaneous biopsy. She was treated by wide excision of the tumor with surgical margins of 3 cm and by reconstruction of the skin defect with a delto-pectral skin flap. Case 2: A 68-year-old male had a slow growing mass for 2 years on the cheek. A 15×15 mm tumor was diagnosed as DFSP by incisional cutaneous biopsy. He was treated by wide excision of the tumor with surgical margins of 1.5 cm in the upper lip and 3 cm in the other portion. The large skin defect was reconstructed with a cervico-facial skin flap. We successfully treated these two cases of DFSP without recurrence of tumor for 36 month and 14 months, respectively. Regional lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis of DFSP is very rare, but a high rate of local recurrence has been reported. It is important to excise widely at the first treatment.
