Development of Pipelined Blowfish Algorithm with Memory based S-Box

Abstract The main aim in the design of any encryption algorithm is to provide security against unauthorized attacks. With the fast progression of digital data exchange information security has become an important issue in data communication. Encryption algorithms play an important role in information security system. These algorithms consume a significant amount of computing resources such as CPU time, memory, and battery power. The data encryption algorithms should provide security and also should not be slow in performance because it is a common practice to embed encryption algorithms in other applications. Embedding of encryption algorithms in other applications also precludes a hardware implementation, and is thus a major cause of degraded overall performance of the system. Advanced encryption standard (AES) algorithm is used for protection against various classes of wireless attacks but it consumes more core area and power. Hence, we propose a development of pipelined Blowfish algorithm as an alternative security algorithm. In this paper the pipelined blowfish algorithm with memory based S box(with different memory sizes) has been developed and simulated using Xilinx Ise 14.2 using Verilog HDL using Zynq7000. The memory-based method is used to optimize the performance of Blowfish. The performance is analyzed in terms of its area, power and throughput.

DOA Estimation for Monostatic Coprime MIMO Radar With Mixed-Resolution Quantization

In this correspondence, we address the issue of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation for coprime multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar employing mixed-resolution quantization. First, we derive the received signal model of coprime MIMO radar under mixed-resolution quantization, and utilize mixed-resolution measurements to construct an augmented signal vector via virtual array interpolation. Subsequently, we reconstruct a low-rank augmented covariance matrix without the effect of quantization error by solving an atomic norm minimization problem. Finally, we extract the DOAs of targets by applying MUSIC method on the reconstructed low-rank matrix. Unlike the existing techniques, our method not only recovers the missing correlation information, but also reduces the influence of noise and quantization error. Simulation results illustrate the advantage of the proposed approach over the existing techniques when handling mixed-resolution measurements.

AGHmatrix: R Package to Construct Relationship Matrices for Autotetraploid and Diploid Species: A Blueberry Example

Progress in the rate of improvement in autopolyploid species has been limited compared with diploids, mainly because software and methods to apply advanced prediction and selection methodologies in autopolyploids are lacking. The objectives of this research were to (i) develop an R package for autopolyploids to construct the relationship matrix derived from pedigree information that accounts for autopolyploidy and double reduction and (ii) use the package to estimate the level and effect of double reduction in an autotetraploid blueberry breeding population with extensive pedigree information. The package is unique, as it can create A‐matrices for different levels of ploidy and double reduction, which can then be used by breeders to fit mixed models in the context of predicting breeding values (BVs). Using the data from this blueberry population, we found for all the traits that tetrasomic inheritance creates a better fit than disomic inheritance. In one of the five traits studied, the level of double reduction was different from zero, decreasing the estimated heritability, but it did not affect the prediction of BVs. We also discovered that different depths of pedigree would have significant implications on the estimation of double reduction using this approach. This freely available R package is available for autopolyploid breeders to estimate the level of double reduction present in their populations and the impact in the estimation of genetic parameters as well as to use advanced methods of prediction and selection.

Rescue of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha-deficient tumor growth by wild-type cells is independent of vascular endothelial growth factor

In tumors, rapid cell proliferation associated with deficient vascularization leads to areas of hypoxia. Tumor hypoxia has direct consequences on clinical and prognostic parameters and is a potential therapeutic target. The hypoxic response depends critically on hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) in pathological (e.g., tumorigenesis) as well as physiological (e.g., development and wound healing) processes. By s.c. injection of HIF-1alpha(-/-) embryonic stem (ES) cells in nude mice, we were able to demonstrate the role of HIF-1alpha in cell differentiation of teratocarcinomas. HIF-1alpha(+/+) tumors grow fast and preferentially form neuronal tissue, whereas HIF-1alpha(-/-) tumors show delayed growth and favorably form mesenchyme-derived tissue. Mixing wild-type and HIF-1alpha(-/-) ES cells in the same tumor at a ratio as low as 1:100, we showed that HIF-1alpha(+/+) cells can rescue the growth of mixed tumors although these tumors are not significantly different phenotypically or genotypically from the original HIF-1alpha(-/-) tumors. Interestingly, these results are not restricted to teratocarcinomas: they were confirmed with mixtures of Hepa1/Hepa1C4 cells (where HIF-1beta is mutated), demonstrating that growth changes are not related to differences in differentiation observed within teratocarcinomas. We also showed that despite lower mRNA expression, vascular endothelial growth factor protein status in HIF-1alpha(-/-) and mixed tumors does not significantly differ from the HIF-1alpha(+/+) tumors. Moreover, we demonstrated that tumor vascularization remains proportional to vascular endothelial growth factor protein levels, but that hypoxic up-regulation of this growth factor is not the decisive factor influencing tumor growth. Differences in levels of apoptosis are not responsible for alteration in growth because poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage, a hallmark of the apoptotic process, was similar in HIF-1alpha(+/+), HIF-1alpha(-/-), and mixed tumors. Our data demonstrate that the HIF-1alpha-dependent response of a few cells is capable of sustaining the growth of the whole tumor, probably through the secretion of factors up-regulated under low oxygen conditions.

The Use of Insecticide-Treated Curtains for Control of<i>Aedes aegypti</i>and Dengue Virus Transmission in “Fraccionamiento” Style Houses in México

Dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever, and Zika viruses transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are major public health threats in the tropical and subtropical world. In México, construction of large tracts of “fraccionamientos” high density housing to accommodate population growth and urbanization has provided fertile ground for Ae. aegypti -transmitted viruses. We investigated the utility of pyrethroid-treated window curtains to reduce both the abundance of Ae. aegypti and to prevent dengue virus (DENV) transmission in fraccionamiento housing. Windows and doors of fraccionamiento homes in urban/suburban areas, where Ae. aegypti pyrethroid resistance associated with the Ile1016 knock down resistance (kdr) mutation in the voltage gated sodium channel gene was high, and in rural areas, where kdr resistance was low, were fitted with either insecticide-treated curtains (ITCs) or non-treated curtains (NTCs). The homes were monitored for mosquito abundance and DENV infection. ITCs reduced the indoor abundance of Ae. aegypti and the number of DENV-infected mosquitoes in homes in rural but not in urban/suburban study sites . The presence of non-treated screens also was associated with reduced numbers of mosquitoes in homes. “Super-infested” homes, yielding more than 50 mosquitoes, including DENV-infected mosquitoes, provide a significant public health risk to occupants, visitors, and people in neighboring homes.

EFEK INSENTIF PERPAJAKAN BERDASARKAN DASAR PENGENAAN PAJAK DAN TARIF PAJAK TERHADAP EKONOMI SECARA MAKRO : STUDI KASUS INDONESIA

Due to National Economy Recovery program, the Indonesian Government had conducted severalTax Incentive Policies to escalate economic growth faster. However, we have not found any studyto measure the policies' effect on macroeconomic indicators. In this paper, we attempt to find theimpact of Tax Incentive Policies that had been implemented for the end of the year of 2018. Ourpurpose is solely to find general understanding and knowledge about Tax Incentive Policies' effecton Macroeconomy. Based on the examination test using The Impulse Response Function method,we discovered that Tax Incentive Policies positively impact Investment, gross domestic product, and unemployment.Specifically, Tax Incentive Policies based on Tax Rates have a better positive impact than TaxIncentive Policies based on Tax Base. However, those impact only relatively sustains in a short period.

Devouring Nature: On Biomorphism and Transformation in the Works of Tarsila do Amaral

Tarsila do Amaral’s paintings of rural Brazilian landscapes present a natural world replete with vibrant colors, whimsical creatures, and luxuriant plant life. By co-opting aspects of surrealism’s visual lexicon, particularly biomorphism, Amaral created timeless myths that in their strangeness and indecipherability conveyed the uncertainly of the moment. When she exhibited these paintings in Paris in 1928, Amaral’s adoption of surrealist notions of transformation, ambiguity and uncertainly was on full display. Her landscapes of this period present dichotomies between the rational and the irrational, the natural and the artificial, order and chaos, thereby challenging Parisians’ imagined construct of Brazil, and creating an original and enigmatic interpretation of the natural world.

Specificity and phenotype of IL-2 expanded clones of human large granular lymphocytes.

Clones of human large granular lymphocytes (LGL) derived from a single blood donor were grown in culture medium supplemented with interleukin-2 (IL-2). The source of IL-2 was the supernatant of a gibbon lymphosarcoma cell line, MLA-144. Of 89 LGL clones tested for their ability to lyse a panel of natural killer (NK)-susceptible tumor cell lines in a cytotoxicity assay, a total of 12 clones were cytotoxic, showing a heterogeneous pattern of reactivity. In contrast, all clones from T lymphocytes grown in the same conditions were consistently negative against all the targets. Four of the cytotoxic LGL clones lysed K562 and Alab and also had antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC); three clones were cytotoxic only for K562; two clones were reactive only in ADCC; one lysed both the ADCC target and Alab; two lysed only Daudi. Thirty LGL clones (among which 9 demonstrated cytotoxic activity) were also studied for their surface phenotypes with monoclonal antibodies. Most of these LGL clones were OKM1+ and weakly OKT3+. Of the clones with cytotoxic activity, 55% reacted with OKT8 and OKT10 whereas among the noncytotoxic clones, 90% were OKT10+, and 10% were OKT8+. These results demonstrate diversity among cytolytic clones of LGL, supporting the hypothesis of a clonal distribution of specificity within the NK cell population.

Benchmarking Runtime Scripting Performance in Wasmer

In this paper, we explore the use of Wasmer and WebAssembly (WASM) as a sandboxed environment for general-purpose runtime scripting. Our work differs from prior research focusing on browser-based performance or SPEC benchmarks. In particular, we use micro-benchmarks and a macro-benchmark (both written in Rust) to compare execution times between WASM and native mode. We first measure which elements of script execution have the largest performance impact, using simple micro-benchmarks. Then we consider a Web proxy caching simulator, with different cache replacement policies, as a macro-benchmark. Using this simulator, we demonstrate a 5-10x performance penalty for WASM compared to native execution.

[Determination of melamine residue in raw milk and dairy products using hydrophilic interaction chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry].

A method for the determination of melamine residue in raw milk and dairy products was developed using hydrophilic interaction chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC-ESI-MS/MS). The melamine residue in the test sample was extracted with 1% trichloroacetic acid-acetonitrile (1 : 1, v/v) solution. The homogenate was centrifuged and the supernatant was collected. The extract was cleaned up using a mixed-mode cation exchange (MCX) solid-phase extraction cartridge and then concentrated, and analyzed by HILIC-ESI-MS/MS. The gradient chromatographic separation was performed using a hydrophilic silica column (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) with 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate buffer (pH 3.0) and acetonitrile as the mobile phases. Due to its hydrophilic property, melamine was well retained on the column and seperated from other compounds. It effectively reduced matrix effect. A triple quadruple mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source was employed for the qualitative and quantitative measurement of melamine. The melamine was quantified using the fragments produced from the protonated melamine ion through multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) in positive ion mode. Two MRM transitions from the protonated melamine ion (m/z 127 --> 85 and m/z 127 --> 68) were monitored. The average recoveries were between 76.3% and 98.7% in the spiked range of 0.5 to 10 mg/kg in raw milk and dairy products, and the relative standard deviations were less than 6.8%. The linear range was from 0.05 to 10.0 mg/L. The limit of quantification (S/N > 10) was 0.05 mg/kg. The method is highly selective and sensitive for the measurements of melamine and adequate for the analysis of melamine in raw milk and dairy products.

Intelligent Mobile Sensor System for drum inspection and monitoring -- Volume 1. Final report, October 1, 1993--April 22, 1995

The objective of the Intelligent Mobile Sensor System (IMSS) project is to develop an operational system for monitoring and inspection activities for waste storage facility operations at several DOE sites. Specifically, the product of this effort is a robotic device with enhanced intelligence and maneuverability capable of conducting routine inspection of stored waste drums. The device is capable of operating in the narrow free aisle space between rows of stacked drums. The system has an integrated sensor suite for problem-drum detection, and is linked to a site database both for inspection planning and for data correlation, updating, and report generation. The system is capable of departing on an assigned mission, collecting required data, recording which portions of its mission had to be aborted or modified due to environmental constraints, and reporting back when the mission is complete. Successful identification of more than 96% of drum defects has been demonstrated in a high fidelity waste storage facility mockup. Identified anomalies included rust spots, rust streaks, areas of corrosion, dents, and tilted drums. All drums were positively identified and correlated with the site database. This development effort is separated into three phases of which phase two is now complete. The first phase demonstrated an integrated system (maturity level IVa) for monitoring and inspection activities for waste storage facility operations. The second phase demonstrated a prototype system appropriate for operational use in an actual storage facility. The prototype provides an integrated design that considers operational requirements, hardware costs, maintenance, safety, and robustness. The final phase will demonstrate commercial viability using the prototype vehicle in a pilot waste operations and inspection project. This report summarizes the design and evaluation of the new IMSS Phase 2 system and vehicle.

Effect of harvest maturity stage and seeding rate on alfalfa yield and quality

Cultivated alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a highly productive forage crop with great economic potential. Our objectives were to investigate the effects and interactions of environment, harvest maturity stage, seeding rate and cultivars on alfalfa dry matter yield and quality. The field experiment was carried out over 2010-2012 at the Experimental Field of Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad, at two locations: (I) Cenej, and (II) Rimski Šančevi, which were characterized by a contrasting soil condition. The experimental treatments included two seeding rates of 8 and 16 kg ha-1, three different harvest maturity stages of alfalfa, and four alfalfa cultivars included as a subplot in every treatment. Harvesting alfalfa five times within a year (cutting in the beginning of flowering) in the second and third year of stand life is the most efficient harvest regime that allows full exploitation of cultivar genetic potential and environmental conditions. There was no difference in yields between harvests at early and full flowering stage (15.9 t ha-1). Data related to forage quality components show increase of nutritive value when harvesting alfalfa in earlier maturity stage. Maturity stage in the moment of harvesting significantly affected all quality parameters. The results obtained suggest that in a temperate climate of Southeast Europe there is little justification for planting higher seeding rates of alfalfa varieties under good establishment practices. Increasing seeding rates above 16 kg ha-1 does not provide a long-term boon in alfalfa production.

Spontaneous Trance as a Possible Cause for Persistent Symptoms in the Medically Ill

A 45-year-old female underwent pericardiectomy for recurrent pericarditis. Four years later, persistent, unexplained chest pain was seen as a “conversion” symptom and treated with hypnosis and psychotherapy. Improvement was noted in narcotic dependence and level of function but not in the complaint of pain or disability status. The roles of the patient's emotional arousal and the physician's words in the setting of acute illness are explored as contributing factors in the genesis of the persistent pain. The concepts of spontaneous trance, posthypnotic suggestion, and conversion are reviewed in the context of this case.

Project "ME": A New Approach to Media in the Education of Learning Disabled Children

An innovative way of using audio-visual programs to help in the education of preschool children and older children with learning disabilities is described. Traditional audio-visual methods usually demand that the child sit still, remain quiet, and look and listen. These demands are too stringent for these young children to meet successfully; so, in the past, media has not been effectively used in early childhood education. Project "ME" has designed a system which enables children to interact, with a life-sized projected image, motorically, tactically, and verbally. Opportunities for visual-perceptual-motor training are expanded and programs have been designed to promote emotional awareness and enhance self-concept. An evaluation of two of the interactive programs is presented.

Innovations in generalized predictive control using TSK fuzzy-based approach

The main idea of the paper presented here is to reorganize the linear model based generalized predictive control (LGPC) approach in dealing with a severe nonlinear system. The proposed control strategy is investigated using a TSK fuzzy-based LGPC approach as well as a TSK fuzzy-based model approach. The TSK fuzzy-based model approach is accurately identified as the best representation of the nonlinear system, at each instant of time. And subsequently the TSK fuzzy-based LGPC approach is realized in line with the system modeling outcomes. In order to present the validity of the proposed control strategy, the simulations are carried out in deriving an industrial tubular heat exchanger system as a highly nonlinear system. As is obvious from its acquired results, the proposed control strategy is appropriate in comparison with the traditional LGPC approach.

3D ANALYSIS OF THE BIOMECHANICAL RISK OF CUTTING POTATOES BY KITCHEN ASSISTANTS.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are very common in employments where the use of hands is intense, as in kitchen staff. This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical risk associated with a common task like cutting potatoes, by implementing innovative analysis tools that could replace current methods. Methodology: The study involved 7 kitchen assistants. We installed In everyone, in the forearm and hand, marks to track the movements with high-speed filming while cutting potatoes with three different knives. The movements were analyzed by collecting descriptive data of all phases of technical and reconstructing 3D movements using computer tools. Results: we identified 16 phases of motion grouped into 3 cycles. The time interval to complete the move was between 5 and 9 seconds, while the sagittal took between 0.5 and 0.9 seconds. Two knives required higher angles of flexion-extension motion from the volunteers. Two participants performed the movement consistently faster. Wrist had the highest level of risk identified in this study. Conclusions: The technological approaches used allowed a detailed analysis of movements and to assess the biomechanical risk associated to the task of cutting potatoes. One of the knives (model # 3) enabled the majority of subjects wrist maintain comfort within the range.
