ALTERED DEFAULT MODE NETWORK (DMN) RESTING STATE FUNCTIONAL CONNECTIVITY FOLLOWING A MINDFULNESS BASED EXPOSURE THERAPY FOR POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD) IN COMBAT VETERANS OF AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ
Venue: Depression and anxiety

Recent studies suggest that mindfulness may be an effective component for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment. Mindfulness involves practice in volitional shifting of attention from "mind wandering" to present moment attention to sensations, and cultivating acceptance. We examined potential neural correlates of mindfulness training using a novel group therapy (mindfulness based exposure therapy (MBET) in combat veterans with PTSD deployed to Afghanistan (OEF) and/or Iraq (OIF)
Fragmented Social Exclusion and Rural Urban Migration in China: A Case Study of Xi'an

Rural urban migration is one of the most significant phenomena characterizing contemporary China. Numbering about 168 million in 2014, the rural urban migrant population is expected to grow to 230 million by 2030. The impact of migration is such that it influences the economic, social, political and cultural development of urban China. While geographic mobility is no longer restricted by the state and migrants are free to move about the country, it is well documented that migrants face differential access to, and are excluded from, a variety of socio economic opportunities compared to their local urban counterparts. The dominant discourse explaining the social exclusion of China's rural urban migrants has long focused on the impact of the Household Registration System (hukou system) which historically confined individuals to their location or origin, and which continues to influence access to local social services, benefits and resources Using data derived primarily from interviews with subject matter experts, public officials and migrant workers in the city of Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi province, this paper identifies, compares and contrasts major formal/legal and informal/social factors that contribute to the social exclusion of rural urban migrants across several socio economic dimensions, including employment, education, healthcare and housing. The results of this study demonstrate that migrant social exclusion in Xi'an is multidimensional, fragmented across socio economic dimensions, and more complex than the prevailing hukou based discourse would suggest.
Practice Parameter for the Assessment and Treatment of Children and Adolescents With Reactive Attachment Disorder and Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder.
Venue: Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

This Practice Parameter is a revision of a previous Parameter addressing reactive attachment disorder that was published in 2005. It reviews the current status of reactive attachment disorder (RAD) and disinhibited social engagement disorder (DESD) with regard to assessment and treatment. Attachment is a central component of social and emotional development in early childhood, and disordered attachment is defined by specific patterns of abnormal social behavior in the context of "insufficient care" or social neglect. Assessment requires direct observation of the child in the context of his or her relationships with primary caregivers. Treatment requires establishing an attachment relationship for the child when none exists and ameliorating disturbed social relatedness with non caregivers when evident.

Wave Finite Element Formulation of the Acoustic Transmission Through Complex Infinite Plates

A finite element based derivation of the transmission loss (TL) of anisotropic layered infinite plates is presented in this paper. The wave finite element method (WFE) is used to represent the plate with a finite element model of a single unit cell. The incident acoustic field is a known plane wave, and the reflected and transmitted pressures are supposed to be plane waves with unknown amplitudes and phases. The periodicity conditions on the unit cell allow to find a simple matrix equation linking the amplitudes of the transmitted and reflected fields as a function of the incident one. This approach is validated for several cases against classical analytical models for thin plates and sandwich constructions, where the results agree perfectly for a reasonable mesh size. The method is then used to study the effect of stacking order in a laminated composite plate. The main interest of the method is the use of finite elements, which enables a relative easy modelling since most packages readily include different formulations, compared to analytical models, where different formulations have to be implemented for every kind of material.
A simple analysis of system characteristics in the batch service queue with infinite buffer and Markovian service process using the roots method: GI/C MSP(a,b)/1/
Venue: RAIRO Oper. Res.

We consider an infinite buffer single server queue with renewal input and Markovian service process where customers are served in batches according to a general bulk service rule. Queue length distributions at epochs of pre arrival, arbitrary and post departure have been obtained along with some important performance measures such as mean queue lengths and mean waiting times in both the system as well as the queue. We also obtain the steady state service batch size distributions as well as system length distributions. The proposed analysis is based on roots of the associated characteristic equation of the vector generating function of queue length distribution at a pre arrival epoch. Also, we provide analytical and numerical comparison between the roots method used in this paper and the matrix geometric method in terms of computational complexities and required computation time to evaluate pre arrival epoch probabilities for both the methods. Later, we have established heavy and light traffic approximations as well as an approximation for the tail probabilities at pre arrival epoch based on one root of the characteristic equation. Numerical results for some cases have been presented to show the effect of model parameters on the performance measures.
Cooperative load transport with movable load center of mass using multiple quadrotor UAVs
Venue: 2016 4th International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, and Automation (ICCIA)

This paper presents a strategy for cooperative load transport with movable load center of mass by multiple quadrotor UAVs. The load center of mass is modeled by a mass spring system that moves in the x y plane in time. The center of mass moving in the x y plane by a sinusoid functions of time. We use the Newtonians law to derive the systems dynamics equations. The load is connected to the quadrotors by cables. The maximum thrust of the single quadrotor is less than required for load transportation. For this reason we use four quadrotor UAVs for load transportation. The leader follower structure is applied for cooperate the quadrotors. We use a feedback linearization controller to control quadrotors along the z axis. Finally, some numerical simulations are considered to validate the proposed method.
Motion capture based walking simulation of digital human adapted to laser scanned 3D as is environments for accessibility evaluation
Venue: J. Comput. Des. Eng.

Owing to our rapidly aging society, accessibility evaluation to enhance the ease and safety of access to indoor and outdoor environments for the elderly and disabled is increasing in importance. Accessibility must be assessed not only from the general standard aspect but also in terms of physical and cognitive friendliness for users of different ages, genders, and abilities. Meanwhile, human behavior simulation has been progressing in the areas of crowd behavior analysis and emergency evacuation planning. However, in human behavior simulation, environment models represent only "as planned" situations. In addition, a pedestrian model cannot generate the detailed articulated movements of various people of different ages and genders in the simulation. Therefore, the final goal of this research was to develop a virtual accessibility evaluation by combining realistic human behavior simulation using a digital human model (DHM) with "as is" environment models. To achieve this goal, we developed an algorithm for generating human like DHM walking motions, adapting its strides, turning angles, and footprints to laser scanned 3D as is environments including slopes and stairs. The DHM motion was generated based only on a motion capture (MoCap) data for flat walking. Our implementation constructed as is 3D environment models from laser scanned point clouds of real environments and enabled a DHM to walk autonomously in various environment models. The difference in joint angles between the DHM and MoCap data was evaluated. Demonstrations of our environment modeling and walking simulation in indoor and outdoor environments including corridors, slopes, and stairs are illustrated in this study.

To Be Made Sick by Medicine: Quantitative Easing and Inequality After the Financial Crisis

During the Global Financial Crisis, central banks attempted to counter the economic downturn by reinforcing their conventional policy toolset with an extensive range of unconventional monetary policies. Paramount amongst these policies was Quantitative Easing (QE) which involves the creation of electronic money to conduct large scale asset purchases. QE has been accused of increasing economic inequality from multiple political standpoints. By analytically weighing QE's effects on different groups of households, this paper attempts to establish whether the Federal Reserve System, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England fostered income and wealth inequality during the post crisis period in the areas under these institutions' purview. Before proceeding with this analysis, this paper also outlines the interplays existing between inequality and conventional monetary policy to counter central bankers' established view that inequality should be considered an irrelevant by product of their policy choices. When looking at QE, this paper argues that this policy fostered a divergence between the relative performances of financial markets and the rest of the economy, which consequently increased inequality. QE was designed with a bias towards effectively supporting financial markets, on which few wealthy households depend. As the benefits accrued by financial markets did not trickle down; this policy was relatively ineffective at supporting the rest of the economy, on which the majority of households rely.
Using anomaly detection based techniques to detect HTTP based botnet C&C traffic
Venue: 2016 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)

HTTP is becoming the most preferred channel for command and control (C&C) communication of botnets. One of the main reasons is that it is very easy to hide the C&C traffic in the massive amount of browser generated Web traffic. However, detecting these HTTP based C&C packets which constitute only a minuscule portion of the overall everyday HTTP traffic is a formidable task. In this paper, we present an anomaly detection based approach to detect HTTP based C&C traffic using statistical features based on client generated HTTP request packets and DNS server generated response packets. We use three different unsupervised anomaly detection techniques to isolate suspicious communications that have a high probability of being part of a botnet's C&C communication. Results indicate that our method can achieve more than 90% detection rate while maintaining a reasonably low false positive rate.
Feature Selection for Effective Botnet Detection Based on Periodicity of Traffic
Venue: ICISS

Botnets are networks that are composed with a set of compromised machines called bots that are remotely controlled by a botmaster. They pose a threatening remark to network communications and applications. A botnet relies on its command and control communication channel for performing attacks. C2 traffic occurs prior to any attack; hence, the detection of botnet's traffic helps in detecting the bots before any real attack happens. Recently, the HTTP based Botnet threat has become a serious challenge for security experts as Bots can be distributed quickly and stealthily. The HTTP Bots periodically connect to particular web pages or URLs to get commands and updates from the Botmaster. In fact, this identifiable periodic connection pattern has been used to detect HTTP Botnets. This paper proposes an idea for identifying bots that exhibit non periodic nature as well normal traffic that exhibit periodic nature. The proposed method reduces the false positive rate as well as increases the detection rate. For that a set of traffic features are taken from many detection methods and feature selection is made on these features. Feature selection helps in enhancing the detection rate of the bot traffic in the network. For performing feature selection Principal Components Analysis is chosen. Top ranked features from PCA are added to existing work. Result shows improvement in detection rate and reduction in false positive rate.
10 years of software architecture knowledge management: Practice and future
Venue: J. Syst. Softw.

A retrospective analysis of state of the art of AKM.AKM practice from models to tools around three different generations.Our results of AK practice in industry, barriers and remedies.Use of AK in different software development contexts.A comparison of extended capabilities of AKM tools. The importance of architectural knowledge (AK) management for software development has been highlighted over the past ten years, where a significant amount of research has been done. Since the first systems using design rationale in the seventies and eighties to the more modern approaches using AK for designing software architectures, a variety of models, approaches, and research tools have leveraged the interests of researchers and practitioners in AK management (AKM) Capturing, sharing, and using AK has many benefits for software designers and maintainers, but the cost to capture this relevant knowledge hampers a widespread use by software companies. However, as the improvements made over the last decade didn't boost a wider adoption of AKM approaches, there is a need to identify the successes and shortcomings of current AK approaches and know what industry needs from AK. Therefore, as researchers and promoters of many of the AK research tools in the early stages where AK became relevant for the software architecture community, and based on our experience and observations, we provide in this research an informal retrospective analysis of what has been done and the challenges and trends for a future research agenda to promote AK use in modern software development practices.
Autism and the U.K. Secondary School Experience

This research investigated the self reported mainstream school experiences of those diagnosed on the autistic spectrum compared with the typically developing school population. Existing literature identifies four key areas that affect the quality of the school experience for students with autism: social skills, perceived relationships with teaching staff, general school functioning, and interpersonal strengths of the young person. These areas were explored in a mainstream U.K. secondary school with 14 students with autism and 14 age and gender matched students without autism, using self report questionnaires and semi structured interviews. Quantitative analyses showed consistent school experiences for both groups, although content analysis of interview data highlighted some differences in the ways in which the groups perceive group work, peers, and teaching staff within school. Implications for school inclusion are discussed, drawing attention to how staff awareness of autism could improve school experience and success for students with autism attending mainstream schools.
The social responsiveness scale in relation to DSM IV and DSM5 ASD in Korean children
Venue: Autism research official journal of the International Society for Autism Research

The Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) is an autism rating scales in widespread use, with over 20 official foreign language translations. It has proven highly feasible for quantitative ascertainment of autistic social impairment in public health settings, however, little is known about the validity of the reinforcement in Asia populations or in references to DSM5. The current study aims to evaluate psychometric properties and cross cultural aspects of the SRS Korean version (K SRS).The study subjects were ascertained from three samples: a general sample from 3 regular education elementary schools (n=790) a clinical sample (n=154) of 6 12 year olds from four psychiatric clinics, and an epidemiological sample of children with ASD, diagnosed using both DSM IV PDD, DSM5 ASD and SCD criteria (n=151) Their parents completed the K SRS and the Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire(ASSQ) Descriptive statistics, correlation analyses and principal components analysis (PCA) were performed on the total population. Mean total scores on the K SRS differed significantly between the three samples. ASSQ scores were significantly correlated with the K SRS T scores. PCA suggested a one factor solution for the total population.Our results indicate that the K SRS exhibits adequate reliability and validity for measuring ASD symptoms in Korean children with DSM IV PDD and DSM5 ASD. Our findings further suggest that it is difficult to distinguish SCD from other child psychiatric conditions using the K SRS.This is the first study to examine the relationship between the SRS subscales and DSM5 based clinical diagnoses. This study provides cross cultural confirmation of the factor structure for ASD symptoms and traits measured by the SRS.  980.
Slurry Transport: Fundamentals, a historical overview and the Delft Head Loss a Limit Deposit Velocity Framework

In dredging, trenching, (deep sea) mining, drilling, tunnel boring and many other applications, sand, clay or rock has to be excavated. After the soil has been excavated it is usually transported hydraulically as a slurry over a short (TSHD's) or a long distance (CSD's) Estimating the pressure losses and determining whether or not a bed will occur in the pipeline is of great importance. Fundamental processes of sedimentation, initiation of motion and erosion of the soil particles determine the transport process and the flow regimes. In all cases we have to deal with soil and high density soil water mixtures and its fundamental behavior. Although some basic knowledge about the subject is required and expected, dimensionless numbers, the terminal settling velocity (including hindered settling) the initiation of motion of particles, erosion and the flow of a liquid through a pipe are summarized. An overview is given of experiments and theories found in literature. The results of experiments are considered to be the physical reality. Semi empirical theories based on these experiments are considered to be an attempt to describe the physical reality in a mathematical way. These semi empirical theories in general match the experiments on which they are based, but are also limited to the range of the different parameters as used for these experiments. Some theories have a more fundamental character and may be more generic as long as the starting points on which they are based apply. Observing the results of many experiments gives the reader the possibility to form his/her own impression of the processes involved in slurry transport. Flow regimes are identified and theoretical models are developed for each main flow regime based on constant volumetric spatial concentration. The 5 main flow regimes are the fixed or stationary bed regime, the sliding bed regime, the heterogeneous regime, the homogeneous regime and the sliding flow regime. A new model for the Limit Deposit Velocity is derived, consisting of 5 particle size regions and a lower limit. Based on the Limit Deposit Velocity a (semi) fundamental relation is derived for the slip velocity. This relation also enables us to determine the bed height as a function of the line speed. The concentration distribution in the pipe is based on the advection diffusion equation with a diffusivity related to the LDV. Finally a method is given to determine relations for non uniform sands and gravels based on the superposition principle.
The effects of swallowing disorders, dysgeusia, oral mucositis and xerostomia on nutritional status, oral intake and weight loss in head and neck cancer patients: A systematic review.
Venue: Cancer treatment reviews

Combined modality treatment of head and neck cancer is becoming more common, driven by the idea that organ(s) preservation should maintain patient appearance and the function of organ(s) involved. Even if treatments have improved, they can still be associated with acute and late adverse effects. The aim of this systematic review was to retrieve current data on how swallowing disorders, dysgeusia, oral mucositis, and xerostomia affect nutritional status, oral intake and weight loss in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients.  A systematic literature search covered four relevant electronic databases from January 2005 to May 2015. Retrieved papers were categorised and evaluated considering their methodological quality. Two independent reviewers reviewed manuscripts and abstracted data using a standardised form. Quality assessment of the included studies was performed using the Edwards Method Score.  Of the 1459 abstracts reviewed, a total of 25 studies were included. The most studied symptom was dysphagia, even if symptoms were interconnected and affected one other. In most of the selected studies the level of evidence was between 2 and 3, and their quality level was from medium to low.  There are limited data about dysgeusia, oral mucositis and xerostomia outcomes available for HNC patients. There is a lack of well designed clinical trials and multicenter prospective cohort studies, therefore further research is needed to ascertain which aspects of these symptoms should be measured.
