A Secure and Efficient Revocation Scheme for Anonymous Vehicular Communications

In this paper, we propose a secure and efficient revocation scheme for anonymous vehicular communications, named SEA. SEA is a pseudonymous authentication scheme, but unlike traditional pseudonymous schemes, its CRL size is linear in terms of the number of revoked vehicles and unrelated to the size of vehicle pseudonymous certificate set. SEA supports certificate regional management and keeps the service overhead of RSUs very low. Furthermore, SEA provides strong privacy preservation against the RSUs so that the adversaries can not trace any vehicle even all RSUs have been compromised. Extensive analysis demonstrates that the proposed scheme outperforms previously reported ones in terms of the revocation cost and the RSUs service overhead.

Feminist Advocacy and War on Terror Militarism

In the era of the War on Terror, female U.S. service members and veterans have successfully advocated for formal recognition of their combat service. These women are able to articulate an anti-misogynistic, anti-racist, anti-homophobic message that is highly critical of the military, while remaining palatable to mainstream media and successfully engaging the support of some military leaders and politicians. Their success is due to organizations like the Service Women’s Action Network (SWAN). The use of Female Engagement Teams (FETs) in Afghanistan and The Lionness Program in Iraq give women specific ways of documenting their combat experience, contributing to SWAN’s ability to gain visibility and pursue changes in law and policy. A critical discourse analysis of SWAN’s use of digital/social media and web presence illustrates how SWAN uses War on Terror militarism to effectively advocate for marginalized groups within the military. Though they invoke the participation of female soldiers in global warfare, however, a discussion of the impact of this militarism on populations of women in Iraq and Afghanistan is almost entirely omitted. The result of this is an advocacy that relies on characterizing female service members as exceptional soldiers, and frames feminist values as in line with the project of boosting military strength, rather than diminishing it.

Distorted-field approximation to the static pion potential

The interaction potentials for two static sources of the \ensuremath{\pi}-meson field are calculated in the distorted-field approximation. The spin- and isospin-dependent parts of the potential are shown to be close to the corresponding one-pion-exchange potentials. In addition, there is a very strong Wigner potential that is not present in the one-pion-exchange potential. All of the components of the potential depend significantly on the shape of the assumed pion-nucleon Yukawa interaction.

Ethical Motives and Charitable Contributions in Contingent Valuation: Empirical Evidence from Social Psychology and Economics

Contingent valuation of the environment has proven popular amongst environmental economists in recent years and has increased the role of monetary valuation in public policy. However, the underlying economic model of human psychology fails to explain why certain types of stated behaviour are observed. Thus, good scope exists for interdisciplinary research in the area of economics and psychology with regard to environmental valuation. A critical review is presented here of some recent research by social psychologists in the US attempting to explain stated behaviour in contingent valuation. Attitudinal scales have been used to analyse the role of ecocentric, biocentric and altruistic motives for giving. However, the research is shown to draw some potentially misleading conclusions and be unrepresentative of contingent valuation. Two recent economic studies using contingent valuation are then reported and shown to have identified non-economic motives for WTP. The complexity of value formation and expression is found to go far beyond that generally accepted by economic models. Greater consideration of the role played by attitudes and ethical considerations then becomes relevant to the interpretation of results being used in standard cost-benefit analysis and environmental policy.

Methodological considerations in the use of audio diaries in work psychology: Adding to the qualitative toolkit

The use of longitudinal methodology as a means of capturing the intricacies in complex organizational phenomena is well documented, and many different research strategies for longitudinal designs have been put forward from both a qualitative and quantitative stance. This study explores a specific emergent qualitative methodology, audio diaries, and assesses their utility for work psychology research drawing on the findings from a four‐stage study addressing transient working patterns and stress in UK temporary workers. Specifically, we explore some important methodological, analytical and technical issues for practitioners and researchers who seek to use these methods and explain how this type of methodology has much to offer when studying stress and affective experiences at work. We provide support for the need to implement pluralistic and complementary methodological approaches in unearthing the depth in sense‐making and assert their capacity to further illuminate the process orientation of stress. Practitioner points This study illustrates the importance of verbalization in documenting stress and affective experience as a mechanism for accessing cognitive processes in making sense of such experience. This study compares audio diaries with more traditional qualitative methods to assess applicability to different research contexts. This study provides practical guidance and a methodological framework for the design of audio diary research and design, taking into account challenges and solutions for researchers and practitioners.

The Perils of Productivity: Making ‘Good Farmers’ in <scp>M</scp>alwa, <scp>I</scp>ndia

The idea of a ‘good farmer’ who adheres to scientific methods of crop production and produces high yields was commonly articulated by scientists and some farmers in M alwa, central I ndia, while evaluating soybean farming. However, through detailed ethnographic description of the everyday practices of soybean farmers in M alwa, this paper argues that there is no direct link between scientific methods and high productivity, defined as yield per unit of land, because the outcome is dependent on variables that cannot be controlled by farmers. Rather, the metaphor of a ‘good farmer’ was selectively used by upper‐caste farmers to reinforce their power and authority in the face of declining state support to emphasize their continued importance to agriculture and the state. When upper‐caste farmers were less productive, they placed the blame on the environment, but when lower‐caste farmers produced less, the blame was placed on their (lack of) capability to understand scientific techniques that were expected to increase productivity. This paper suggests that instead of using the productivity discourse to evaluate farming, a different valuation reveals the positive contribution of soybean as a poor farmer's crop due to its agronomic characteristics and market environment.

Biblical Greek exegesis : a graded approach to learning intermediate and advanced Greek

Biblical Greek Exegesis presents a proven, highly practical approach to the study of intermediate and advanced Greek grammar. Most textbooks focus on learning syntactical categories, illustrated by sentences taken from the Greek New Testament, and place little emphasis on how to apply Greek grammar to the Greek text in preparing sermons and lectures. In contrast, Biblical Greek Exegesis stresses “real-life” application. Beginning with selections from the Greek New Testament, students learn intermediate and advanced Greek grammar inductively by analyzing the text. The process closely resembles the approach used in sermon and lecture preparation. (From the publisher's website.)

The Burden of Cysticercosis

Taenia solium cysticercosis is a major public health and agricultural problem in many developing countries. It is predominantly found and considered endemic in Latin American, Asian, and African countries where pigs are raised using traditional methods, veterinary meat inspection is insufficient, and sanitation is poor [1-3]. However, it is now increasingly being diagnosed in other regions such as the United States, Western Europe, and Canada due to an increasing flow of immigrants from endemic areas who may have taeniasis or cysticercosis [4-7]. The parasite not only impacts human health, but also pig farmers and their communities. In humans, the larvae of the parasite (metacestodes) may migrate to the brain resulting in neurocysticercosis (NCC). The natural history of NCC infection remains poorly understood, and the proportion of cases with lesions in their brains that will manifest at some point during the course of the infection remains unknown. According to a recent systematic review of the literature, among diagnosed NCC patients who sought care in clinics where imaging was available, epileptic seizures were by far the most common presenting symptom, followed by headaches, focal deficits, and cranial hypertension/hydrocephalus [8]. Depression has been reported to be very common among NCC patients, but it has not been determined if this is due to the presence of epilepsy or NCC itself [9]. Other manifestations of NCC include stroke and dementia, but those aspects have been very poorly described [10, 11]. The social consequences of NCC possibly include stigmatization, incapacitation, and decreased work productivity. Epilepsy has been shown, in several countries, to lead to social discrimination, and NCC-associated epilepsy is no different. In many endemic countries, the stigma associated with epilepsy may have a greater impact on patients’ lives and families than the disease itself [12]. In addition, due to the reduction in quality of life and the psychological effects of the condition, work productivity might be further decreased.

Ferromagnetism and Anisotropy of Chromium Tribromide

Tsubokawa reported CrBr 3 to be ferromagnetic. Bizette and Terrier reported it to be antiferromagnetic. Tsubokawa reported an anisotropy constant about half that given by Dillon. These contradictions can be resolved by an examination of published data. CrBr 3 is a ferromagnet. Its anisotropy constant is close to -9.3×10 5 ergs/cm 3 at liquid helium temperatures.

Computer-aided detection of lung cancer: combining pulmonary nodule detection systems with a tumor risk prediction model

Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) has been shown to be a promising tool for automatic detection of pulmonary nodules from computed tomography (CT) images. However, the vast majority of detected nodules are benign and do not require any treatment. For effective implementation of lung cancer screening programs, accurate identification of malignant nodules is the key. We investigate strategies to improve the performance of a CAD system in detecting nodules with a high probability of being cancers. Two strategies were proposed: (1) combining CAD detections with a recently published lung cancer risk prediction model and (2) the combination of multiple CAD systems. First, CAD systems were used to detect the nodules. Each CAD system produces markers with a certain degree of suspicion. Next, the malignancy probability was automatically computed for each marker, given nodule characteristics measured by the CAD system. Last, CAD degree of suspicion and malignancy probability were combined using the product rule. We evaluated the method using 62 nodules which were proven to be malignant cancers, from 180 scans of the Danish Lung Cancer Screening Trial. The malignant nodules were considered as positive samples, while all other findings were considered negative. Using a product rule, the best proposed system achieved an improvement in sensitivity, compared to the best individual CAD system, from 41.9% to 72.6% at 2 false positives (FPs)/scan and from 56.5% to 88.7% at 8 FPs/scan. Our experiment shows that combining a nodule malignancy probability with multiple CAD systems can increase the performance of computerized detection of lung cancer.

A Correlated Probit Model for Joint Modeling of Clustered Binary and Continuous Responses

AbstractA difficulty in joint modeling of continuous and discrete response variables is the lack of a natural multivariate distribution. For joint modeling of clustered observations on binary and continuous responses, we study a correlated probit model that has an underlying normal latent variable for the binary responses. Catalano and Ryan have factored the model into a marginal and a conditional component and used generalized estimating equations methodology to estimate the effects. We propose a Monte Carlo expectation–conditional maximization algorithm for finding maximum likelihood estimates of the mixed model itself, extending and accelerating an algorithm for models with binary responses. We demonstrate the methodology with a developmental toxicity study measuring fetal weight and a binary malformation status for several litters of mice. A simulation study suggests that efficiency gains of joint fittings over separate fittings of the response variables occur mainly for small datasets with strong correlations between the responses within cluster.KEY WORDS: Generalized linear mixed modelLatent variableMonte Carlo EM algorithmRandom effectTeratology

The Effects of Situational and Individual Factors on Algorithm Acceptance in COVID-19-Related Decision-Making: A Preregistered Online Experiment

In times of the COVID-19 pandemic, difficult decisions such as the distribution of ventilators must be made. For many of these decisions, humans could team up with algorithms; however, people often prefer human decision-makers. We examined the role of situational (morality of the scenario; perspective) and individual factors (need for leadership; conventionalism) for algorithm preference in a preregistered online experiment with German adults (n = 1,127). As expected, algorithm preference was lowest in the most moral-laden scenario. The effect of perspective (i.e., decision-makers vs. decision targets) was only significant in the most moral scenario. Need for leadership predicted a stronger algorithm preference, whereas conventionalism was related to weaker algorithm preference. Exploratory analyses revealed that attitudes and knowledge also mattered, stressing the importance of individual factors.

A Smart, Efficient, and Reliable Parking Surveillance System with Edge Artificial Intelligence on IoT Devices

Cloud computing has been a main-stream computing service for years. Recently, with the rapid development in urbanization, massive video surveillance data are produced at an unprecedented speed. A traditional solution to deal with the big data would require a large amount of computing and storage resources. With the advances in Internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence, and communication technologies, edge computing offers a new solution to the problem by processing the data partially or wholly on the edge of a surveillance system. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of using edge computing for smart parking surveillance tasks, which is a key component of Smart City. The system processing pipeline is carefully designed with the consideration of flexibility, online surveillance, data transmission, detection accuracy, and system reliability. It enables artificial intelligence at the edge by implementing an enhanced single shot multibox detector (SSD). A few more algorithms are developed on both the edge and the server targeting optimal system efficiency and accuracy. Thorough field tests were conducted in the Angle Lake parking garage for three months. The experimental results are promising that the final detection method achieves over 95% accuracy in real-world scenarios with high efficiency and reliability. The proposed smart parking surveillance system can be a solid foundation for future applications of intelligent transportation systems.

Feasibility and Safety of an Aquatherapy Program in Mid- to Late-Stage Huntington Disease

Background: The progressive motor dysfunction and cognitive impairment associated with mid- to late-stage Huntington Disease (HD) renders few exercise programs amenable for use in this population. Exercise may slow the symptomatic progression of HD, therefore appropriate programs should be available to those with advanced disease. The pool, with a low risk of falling, boasts an appropriate environment to support choreic limbs. The purpose of this qualitative questionnaire-based study was to assess the feasibility and safety of aquatherapy in mid- to late-stage HD, and program perception by participants/caregivers. 
Methods: Six participants with manifest HD completed a six-week aquatherapy program comprised of twiceweekly sessions. Participant-tailored aquatherapy sessions involved a warm-up, exercise-set, and a cool-down. Study notes regarding injury and compliance were recorded to track measures of safety and feasibility. Participants (and caregivers where available) gave an interview following the program. Conversations were audio recorded and fully transcribed. Interviews were analyzed to extract themes.
 Results: Generally, participants reported the aquatherapy to be enjoyable, feasible, and safe, as well described improved mood, sleep, and quality of life. Anecdotal evidence suggests that many participants experienced improved physical conditioning. 
Conclusions: Twice-weekly aquatherapy is feasible in mid- to late-stage HD, and was perceived to be safe and enjoyable.

Selective and Adjustable Removal of Phenolic Compounds from Water by Biquaternary Ammonium Polyacrylonitrile Fibers

A series of biquaternary ammonium-functionalized fibers were developed to efficiently realize selective removal of phenolic compounds from water. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were employed to determine the successful preparation of functionalized fibers. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, and elemental analysis were used to analyze the microstructure and composition. First, the adsorption result shows that a fiber with a three-carbon alkyl chain (PAN<sub>BQAS-3</sub>F) has the maximum adsorption capacity for 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP) (406 mg g<sup>-1</sup>). Electrostatic attraction and π-π interaction are the main forces in adsorption. The adsorption kinetics studies display that PAN<sub>BQAS-3</sub>F can rapidly adsorb 2,4-DNP in 10 min and achieve equilibrium within 20 min. The adsorption process of 2,4-DNP by PAN<sub>BQAS-3</sub>F follows the Langmuir model, demonstrating that the process is more consistent with monolayer adsorption. What is more, the adsorbent PAN<sub>BQAS-3</sub>F can be reused after 10 adsorption/desorption cycles and still maintains an excellent removal rate (99%). Otherwise, PAN<sub>BQAS-3</sub>F was used in a continuous flow process and exhibited a removal rate of more than 96%, which certifies that PAN<sub>BQAS-3</sub>F is an excellent adsorbent and can be utilized in practice.

Negative interactions with extended family and church members and subjective well-being among older African American women

The purpose of this study was to determine whether negative interactions with family and church members are associated with indicators of subjective well-being (SWB) in a nationally representative sample of older African American women. The analytic sample (<i>N</i> = 537) was drawn from the National Survey of American Life. Linear regressions were used to assess the associations between negative interactions with family and church members and happiness, life satisfaction, and self-esteem. The negative interactions with family variable was inversely associated with happiness and self-esteem. Findings underscore the importance of social relationships and the quality of these relationships in women's well-being.

EXTRACTION OF RARE EARTH METALS WITH 2-ETHYLHEXYL PHOSPHONIC ACID MONO-2-ETHYLHEXYL ESTER IN THE PRESENCE OF DIETHYLENETRIAMINEPENTAACETIC ACID IN AQUEOUS PHASE

Abstract The extraction equilibria of rare earth metals with 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (commercial name, PC-88A, henceforth abbreviated as HR) dissolved in n-heptane were measured at 303 K. It was found that rare earth metals are extracted with the dimer of the extractant, (HR)2, as follows. The extraction equilibrium constants of metals were obtained and compared with the extraction equilibrium constants obtained by di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (henceforth D2EHPA). Furthermore, the extraction equilibria of rare earth metals with PC-88A in the presence of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (henceforth DTPA) in an aqueous phase were also measured to discuss the effect of DTPA on the extraction of rare earth metals.
