Comparison deep learning method to traditional methods using for network intrusion detection
Venue: 2016 8th IEEE International Conference on Communication Software and Networks (ICCSN)

Recently, deep learning has gained prominence due to the potential it portends for machine learning. For this reason, deep learning techniques have been applied in many fields, such as recognizing some kinds of patterns or classification. Intrusion detection analyses got data from monitoring security events to get situation assessment of network. Lots of traditional machine learning method has been put forward to intrusion detection, but it is necessary to improvement the detection performance and accuracy. This paper discusses different methods which were used to classify network traffic. We decided to use different methods on open data set and did experiment with these methods to find out a best way to intrusion detection.
Hypoxia induces the breast cancer stem cell phenotype by HIF dependent and ALKBH5 mediated m6A demethylation of NANOG mRNA
Venue: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Pluripotency factors, such as NANOG, play a critical role in the maintenance and specification of cancer stem cells, which are required for primary tumor formation and metastasis. In this study, we report that exposure of breast cancer cells to hypoxia (i.e. reduced O2 availability) which is a critical feature of the tumor microenvironment, induces N6 methyladenosine (m6A) demethylation and stabilization of NANOG mRNA, thereby promoting the breast cancer stem cell (BCSC) phenotype. We show that inhibiting the expression of AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) which demethylates m6A, or the hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) HIF 1a and HIF 2a, which activate ALKBH5 gene transcription in hypoxic breast cancer cells, is an effective strategy to decrease NANOG expression and target BCSCs in vivo. N6 methyladenosine (m6A) modification of mRNA plays a role in regulating embryonic stem cell pluripotency. However, the physiological signals that determine the balance between methylation and demethylation have not been described, nor have studies addressed the role of m6A in cancer stem cells. We report that exposure of breast cancer cells to hypoxia stimulated hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) 1a and HIF 2a dependent expression of AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) an m6A demethylase, which demethylated NANOG mRNA, which encodes a pluripotency factor, at an m6A residue in the 3' UTR. Increased NANOG mRNA and protein expression, and the breast cancer stem cell (BCSC) phenotype, were induced by hypoxia in an HIF and ALKBH5 dependent manner. Insertion of the NANOG 3' UTR into a luciferase reporter gene led to regulation of luciferase activity by O2, HIFs, and ALKBH5, which was lost upon mutation of the methylated residue. ALKBH5 overexpression decreased NANOG mRNA methylation, increased NANOG levels, and increased the percentage of BCSCs, phenocopying the effect of hypoxia. Knockdown of ALKBH5 expression in MDA MB 231 human breast cancer cells significantly reduced their capacity for tumor initiation as a result of reduced numbers of BCSCs. Thus, HIF dependent ALKBH5 expression mediates enrichment of BCSCs in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment.
In situ assembly of BiOI@Bi12O17Cl2 p n junction: charge induced unique front lateral surfaces coupling heterostructure with high exposure of BiOI {001} active facets for robust and nonselective photocatalysis

Synthesis of reactive exposing facets and p n junction are of great importance for semiconductor photocatalysis. Herein, we develop a p n junction BiOI@Bi12O17Cl2 heterostructure via facilely in situ depositing BiOI nanosheets on the surface of Bi12O17Cl2 plates. Owing to the charge inducement, the BiOI nanosheets are all vertically assembled onto the Bi12O17Cl2 large plates to form a unique front lateral surfaces coupling heterostructure, which enables high exposure of {001} reactive exposing facets of BiOI. The photocatalytic properties are systematically evaluated by degrading multiform industrial contaminants and antibiotic, like 2,4 dichlorophenol (2,4 DCP) rhodamine B (RhB) phenol, bisphenol A (BPA) and tetracycline hydrochloride. It reveals that the BiOI@Bi12O17Cl2 heterostructure not only shows dramatically strengthened photocatalytic activity, but also unfold powerful and nonselective photooxidation ability under visible light illumination. The photoelectrochemical characterizations demonstrated that the drastically promoted separation and transfer of charge carriers that derived from the benefits of BiOI {001} active facets and BiOI@Bi12O17Cl2 p n junction are in charge of the high photo activity. Detailed radicals detection and quantification experiments further corroborate our conclusions. The study may give us some new hints on designing novel heterostructured photoelectronic materials with integrating p n junction and active exposing facets.

Gauging Social Integration among Canadian Muslims: A Sense of Belonging in an Age of Anxiety

While the subject of "Muslim integration" has received extensive scholarly attention, especially in the Western European context, there has been little study of the subject in Canada. Canada has a long history of welcoming immigrants who make up 20 percent of the population. Yet, Canada has not fully escaped the debates and anxieties related to the accommodation of Muslim immigrants and the integration of those populations. In particular, these anxieties have been displayed around the proposal to use religious law in family based disputes in Ontario in 2005, controversies around the wearing of the niqab in the oath of citizenship, the admission of Syrian refugees in 2015, and concerns over homegrown violent extremism after the 11th of September 2001. Employing semi structured elite level interviews (n20) the Ethnic Diversity Study (EDS) and Environics' Survey of Muslims in Canada, the article examines social integration among Canada's diverse Muslim communities. Using the barometer of a sense of national belonging, it examines the life experiences of Canadian Muslims and their ideas and sentiments related to belonging. It concludes that despite concerns in the community over discrimination and divisive areas of public policy (e.g. security) Canadian Muslims are well integrated socially.  Bien que la question de l'integration des musulmans ait recu un interet academique important, particulierement dans le contexte de l'Europe occidentale, il y a eu peu d'etudes sur cette question au Canada. Le Canada a une longue histoire dans l'accueil des immigrants qui representent 20 pour cent de la population. Pourtant, le Canada n'a pas totalement echappe aux debats et aux inquietudes lies a l'accueil des immigrants musulmans et l'integration de ces populations. En particulier, ces inquietudes ont ete exposees dans la proposition d'utiliser la loi religieuse dans les conflits familiaux en Ontario en 2005, les controverses autour du port du Niqab pendant le serment de citoyennete, l'admission des refugies syriens en 2015, et les preoccupations sur la croissance interne de l'extremisme violent apres le 11 Septembre 2001. Sur la base d'entrevues d'elite semi structurees (N20) l'etude sur la diversite ethnique (EDS) ainsi que les sondages d'ENVIRONICS aupres des musulmans au Canada, l'article examine l'integration sociale entre les diverses communautes musulmanes du Canada. En utilisant le barometre d'un sentiment d'appartenance nationale, il examine les experiences de vie des musulmans canadiens, ainsi que leurs idees et sentiments par rapport a l'appartenance. Il conclut que, malgre les preoccupations de la communaute sur la discrimination et les zones de discorde de la politique publique (securite par exemple) les musulmans canadiens sont bien integres socialement.

Morley, Mao Darrell, Bethea Michael, K. Reiter 6. Fukushima, M. Hasegawa, T. Tagami, A. (2013) Efficient Lookup Scheme for Non aggregatable Name Prefixes and Its Evaluation.  References We introduce a Length indexed bloom filter (LIBF) based tree datastructure for efficient Longest prefix match in Named data network forwarding that enables us to find the longest match given the initial length of prefix. Name prefixes are distributed based on number of components into set of bloom filters arranged in binary tree structure. Results show that the LIBF helps in reducing the false positive rate and increasing speed of longest prefix match at the expense of slight increase in memory compared to single bloom filter.  Length Indexed Bloom Filter (LIBF) contains NDN forwarding table name prefixes distributed into set of nodes containing bloom filters based on number of components (length) in each name prefix and arranged in the form of a binary tree. Longest Prefix Match (LPM) in LIBF improves from K to log(K) where K is the maximum number of components in NDN name prefixes. LPM starts with initial length calculated using the frequency distribution of name prefixes at each node. LPM proceeds to right node if the bloom filter in current node contains name prefix of the respective length or else it proceeds to left node. LPM halts if the search reaches either minimum or maximum possible length. Length Indexed Bloom Filter
Media and Its Influences on Adolescents' Identity in Hong Kong

The mass media presents both risks and opportunities for young people, affecting their development. To protect the youth who are at risk from the negative impact of the mass media on their identity development, more research is needed to understand which areas they are more easily affected by in order to develop targeted interventions to protect them. A survey measuring personality and media practices was carried out among high school students (N 972) in Hong Kong. Based on the results of the survey, participant values were content analyzed for types of media influences. A measure was calculated for each individual by comparing the results of the personality values with participants' reported media practices and influences. The effects of various media on eight identity factors, personal growth, community, gender role, health, beliefs, wealth, image, and social identity orientation, were examined. Overall positive correlations between identity aspects, such as personal growth, health, community, and social identity orientation and media values' influences, were observed. Implications of the findings are discussed.
Dependence of minority carrier lifetime of Be doped InAs/InAsSb type II infrared superlattices on temperature and doping density

We investigate the minority carrier lifetime of Be doped InAs/InAsSb type II superlattices as a function of doping density and temperature using time resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) to determine if switching the superlattice type from the typical n type residual carrier concentration to p type may improve device performance by improving the lifetime mobility product. The introduction of the Be dopant to the superlattice reduces the carrier lifetime, first by a factor of ~3 for doping densities near or below the n type residual carrier concentration, then by an order of magnitude for samples doped well above the residual carrier concentration. Further, the higher doped p type samples demonstrate two distinct TRPL decay regimes and two peaks in the PL spectra, suggesting the formation of an additional acceptor related recombination pathway leading to the observed shorter carrier lifetime.
Trauma as an objective or subjective experience: The association between types of traumatic events, personality traits, subjective experience of the event, and posttraumatic symptoms

The study aimed to examine the discrete effect of objective (type of trauma and demographic characteristics) and subjective (proximity to the trauma, subjective experience of the trauma as a threat, the Big Five personality traits, and dissociative symptoms) factors on the risk for PTSD among 1,210 undergraduate students. The findings indicate that survivors of physical/sexual assault scored the highest on proximity to the trauma, subjective experience of the trauma as a threat, neuroticism, dissociation, and PTSD symptoms. In addition, subjective experience of the trauma, proximity to it, type of trauma, dissociation, and neuroticism were associated with the risk for PTSD symptoms. The findings point to the significance of both subjective and objective variables in the risk for PTSD symptoms.
Dolomitic Lime Amendment Affects Pine Bark Substrate pH, Nutrient Availability, and Plant Growth: A Review

Dolomitic lime (DL) is one of the most commonly used fertilizer amendments in nursery container substrates. It is used to adjust pH of pine bark substrates from their native pH, 4.1 to 5.1, up to about pH 6. However, additions of DL have been shown to be beneficial, inconsequential, or detrimental depending on the crop to which it is applied and irrigation water quality. Carbonate ions from DL cause a rate dependent change in pH.Dolomitic lime can adjust pH of pine bark up to 6.5, after which there is little change regardless of how much additional DL is added. Changes in pH affect the rate of nitrification in pine bark substrates. The rate of nitrification can impact the quality of some plants that are sensitive to ammonium toxicity, as well as affect nitrogen leaching from containers. Changes in pH also affect micronutrient availability in pine bark substrates. Dolomitic lime provides an abundant source of calcium (Ca) andmagnesium (Mg) for plant uptake. However, the additional Ca andMgmight also suppress potassiumuptake in plants.
Study of serum levels of Homocysteine, Vitamin B12 and Folic acid in women with a previous history of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Gestational Diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common condition seen during the 24th to 28th week of pregnancy which resolves spontaneously with the birth of the baby. In the present study we have studied the serum levels of homocysteine (Hcy) vitamin B12 and folic acid in women with the history of GDM and tried to highlight the correlation especially of homocysteine with GDM.  The present study was conducted on 100 women with GDM patients attending the Gynaecology Obstetrics OPD, J.L.N. Medical College Associated groups of Hospital, Ajmer. The results of patients were compared with 100 women without GDM subjects. Anthropometric measurements and biochemical estimations were performed, after taking approval from ethical committee.  The mean serum levels of homocysteine, vitamin B12, folic acid, fasting glucose and fasting insulin were elevated in women with GDM as compared to women without GDM (control) subjects. Serum Hcy, fasting glucose and fasting insulin were observed statistically significant in subjects studied when compared with controls.  In women with a previous history of GDM a statistically significant rise in the serum levels of homocysteine, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA IR, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and VLDL cholesterol was seen. Further deeper studies into the matter need to be carried out to bring out the importance of using homocysteine level as a marker of impending diabetes in women who have had an earlier pregnancy with GDM.
A Robust Two stage Data Envelopment Analysis Model for Measuring Efficiency: Considering Iranian Electricity Power Production and Distribution Processes

This paper presents a new robust two stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for efficiency evaluation of the electricity power production and distribution companies. DEA has been widely used for benchmarking the electricity companies. Traditional studies in DEA consider systems as a whole when measuring the efficiency, ignoring the operation of individual processes within a system. To tackle this issue, many works, aptly labeled Network DEA (NDEA) have been done to decompose the decision making units (DMU) overall efficiency. The two stage DEA model is a special variation which evaluates the efficiency of the DMUs having a two stage internal structure where the initial inputs are transformed to the intermediate outputs and intermediate outputs are developed into final output in the second stage. Conventional two stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) models require the exact data of inputs or outputs. However, in many real world applications this simple assumption does not hold. Recently, the robust optimization technique has been introduced for entering perturbation in the mathematical programming problem such as two stage DEA. This paper adopts this concept with the existing two stage DEA model. The implementation of the proposed method of this paper is applied for ranking different electricity power production and distribution companies in Iran

First clinical application of a prompt gamma based in vivo proton range verification system.
Venue: Radiotherapy and oncology journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology

To improve precision of particle therapy, in vivo range verification is highly desirable. Methods based on prompt gamma rays emitted during treatment seem promising but have not yet been applied clinically. Here we report on the worldwide first clinical application of prompt gamma imaging (PGI) based range verification.  A prototype of a knife edge shaped slit camera was used to measure the prompt gamma ray depth distribution during a proton treatment of a head and neck tumor for seven consecutive fractions. Inter fractional variations of the prompt gamma profile were evaluated. For three fractions, in room control CTs were acquired and evaluated for dose relevant changes.  The measurement of PGI profiles during proton treatment was successful. Based on the PGI information, inter fractional global range variations were in the range of 2 mm for all evaluated fractions. This is in agreement with the control CT evaluation showing negligible range variations of about 1.5mm.  For the first time, range verification based on prompt gamma imaging was applied for a clinical proton treatment. With the translation from basic physics experiments into clinical operation, the potential to improve the precision of particle therapy with this technique has increased considerably.

Safety of Enalapril in Infants Admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Venue: Pediatric Cardiology

Enalapril is used to treat hypertension and congestive heart failure in infants. However, enalapril is not labeled for neonates, and safety data in infants are sparse. To evaluate the safety of enalapril in young infants, we conducted a retrospective cohort study of infants who were exposed to enalapril in the first 120 days of life and were cared for in 348 neonatal intensive care units from 1997 to 2012. We determined the proportion of exposed infants who developed adverse events, including death, hypotension requiring pressors, hyperkalemia, and elevated serum creatinine. Using multivariable logistic regression, we examined risk factors for adverse events, including postnatal age at first exposure, exposure duration, gestational age group, small for gestational age status, race, sex, 5 min Apgar score, and inborn status. Of a cohort of 887,910 infants, 662 infants (0.07% were exposed to enalapril. Among exposed infants, 142 infants (21% suffered an adverse event. The most common adverse event was hyperkalemia (13% followed by elevated serum creatinine (5% hypotension (4% and death (0.5% Significant risk factors for adverse events included postnatal age <30 days at first exposure and longer exposure duration. This study is the largest to date examining the safety of enalapril in young term and preterm infants without significant structural cardiac disease.
