Vulnerability Analysis of Network Scanning on SCADA Systems
Venue: Secur. Commun. Networks
Year: 2018

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition SCADA systems and Industrial Control Systems ICSs have controlled the regulation and management of Critical National Infrastructure environments for decades. With the demand for remote facilities to be controlled and monitored, industries have continued to adopt Internet technology into their ICS and SCADA systems so that their enterprise can span across international borders in order to meet the demand of modern living. Although this is a necessity, it could prove to be potentially dangerous. The devices that make up ICS and SCADA systems have bespoke purposes and are often inherently vulnerable and difficult to merge with newer technologies. The focus of this article is to explore, test, and critically analyse the use of network scanning tools against bespoke SCADA equipment in order to identify the issues with conducting asset discovery or service detection on SCADA systems with the same tools used on conventional IP networks. The observations and results of the experiments conducted are helpful in evaluating their feasibility and whether they have a negative impact on how they operate. This in turn helps deduce whether network scanners open a new set of vulnerabilities unique to SCADA systems.
Controlling Text Edition by Changing Answers of Specific Questions
Venue: FINDINGS
Year: 2021

In this paper, we introduce the new task of controllable text edition, in which we take as input a long text, a question, and a target answer, and the output is a minimally modified text, so that it fits the target answer. This task is very important in many situations, such as changing some conditions, consequences, or properties in a legal document, or changing some key information of an event in a news text. This is very challenging, as it is hard to obtain a parallel corpus for training, and we need to first find all text positions that should be changed and then decide how to change them. We constructed the new dataset WIKIBIOCTE for this task based on the existing dataset WIKIBIO (originally created for table to text generation) We use WIKIBIOCTE for training, and manually labeled a test set for testing. We also propose novel evaluation metrics and a novel method for solving the new task. Experimental results on the test set show that our proposed method is a good fit for this novel NLP task.
The Interlanguage of Moroccan EFL learners: The Case of Complaints
Year: 2020

The present study aims to compare complaint realizations of Moroccan learners of English (MLE) with American English speakers (AE) and Moroccan Arabic speakers (MA) through an interlanguage pragmatic analysis. The study is carried out with reference to the degree of directness. The study involves 135 subjects: 108 of them are Moroccan students from Faculty of Arts and Humanities of Ibn Toufail. Kenitra. 45 MLE participants were recruited from the English department as the second group of informants, while the 45 MA group were recruited from the department of History and Geography. The 45 American participants included some volunteers from American Peace Corps Morocco and students from Duke university, North Carolina. A written discourse completion test/ task was administered to the participants both native and EFL learners in order to elicit their complaint speech act productions through five hypothetical complaint situations. Responses of Moroccan EFL learners were reviewed to verify whether they approach native speakers complaint norms or Moroccan Arabic norms in terms of directness. In the analysis of the data, all responses were categorized according to Trosborg's (1995) complaint speech act set. The results show that Learners of English in higher education do not possess the desirable norms of complaint strategies as compared to native speakers of English. Additionally, MLEs exhibit pragmatic transfer from Moroccan Arabic in their use of high complaint strategies. The study ends up with a series of suggestions and recommendations that aim to enhance linguistic and cultural understanding of the target language.
Translating the 'Other' Early Modern Muslim Understandings of Hinduism
Venue: Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society
Year: 2017

This essay examines the theme of inter religious translation in the context of early modern India. More specifically, it considers the prominent 18th century Sufi master and scholar Mirza Mazhar Jan i Janan's (d.1781) translation of Hindu thought and practice as reflected in his Persian letters on this subject. Through a close reading of the content and context of his translation project, I show that while according the Hindu 'other' remarkable doctrinal hospitality, Jan i Janan's view of translation was firmly tethered to an imperial Muslim political theology committed to upholding the exceptionality of Muslim normative authority. Interrogating his negotiation of hospitality and exceptionality and the notions of time that undergirded that negotiation occupies much of this essay. I also explore ways in which Jan i Janan's translation of Hinduism might engage ongoing scholarly conversations regarding the rupture of colonial modernity in the discursive career of religion in South Asia. In the Euro American study of religion, many scholars have shown the intimacy of modern secular power and the reconfiguration of religion as a universally translatable category. But what conceptual and historiographical gains might one derive by shifting the camera of analysis from the colonial reification of religion to the inter religious translation efforts of a late 18th century thinker like Jan i Janan who wrote at the cusp of colonial modernity? This question hovers over the problem space of this essay.

Child marriage and maternal health risks among young mothers in Gombi, Adamawa State, Nigeria: implications for mortality, entitlements and freedoms.
Venue: African health sciences
Year: 2016

Efforts toward liberation of the girl child from the shackles of early marriage have continued to be resisted through tradition, culture and religion in some parts of Nigeria.  This study therefore examines the maternal health implications of early marriage on young mothers in the study area.  Multistage sampling technique was employed to obtained data from 200 young mothers aged 15 24 years who married before aged 16 years.  The study reveals that more than 60% had only primary education while more than 70% had experienced complications before or after childbirth. Age at first marriage, current age, level of education and household decision making significantly influence (P<0.005) maternal health risks in the study area. The study establishes that respondents in age group 15 19 years are 1.234 times more likely to experience complications when compared with the reference category 20 24 years. Entitlements and freedom that are highly relevant to reduction of maternal mortality, provided by international treaties are inaccessible to young women in the study area.  Strategies to end child marriage in the study area should include mass and compulsory education of girls, provision of other options to early marriage and childbearing and involvement of fathers in preventing and ending the practice.

Why Video Game Genres Fail: A Classificatory Analysis
Year: 2020

This paper explores the current affordances and limitations of video game genre from a library and information science perspective with an emphasis on classification theory. We identify and discuss various purposes of genre relating to video games, including identity, collocation and retrieval, commercial marketing, and educational instruction. Through the use of examples, we discuss the ways in which these purposes are supported by genre classification and conceptualization, and the implications for video games. Suggestions for improved conceptualizations such as family resemblances, prototype theory, faceted classification, and appeal factors for video game genres are considered, with discussions of strengths and weaknesses. This analysis helps inform potential future practical applications for describing video games at cultural heritage institutions such as libraries, museums, and archives, as well as furthering the understanding of video game genre and genre classification for game studies at large.
Metamodel assisted optimization of glued laminated timber beams by using metaheuristic algorithms
Venue: Eng. Appl. Artif. Intell.
Year: 2019

An efficient use of the raw material in glued laminated timber (GLT) beams is commonly achieved by inserting lamellas of lower quality in less stressed areas, usually in the middle of a beam. But, this rather simple method leaves room for improvement. In particular, the morphology of a board and its location in the beam setup is significant, since only this information and the actual loading situation allows a proper evaluation of weaknesses. Therefore, a new optimization method was developed, able to take mechanical property distributions as well as the occurring stress states within each wooden board into account. Subsequent to an automatic knot reconstruction and determination of effective local stiffness distributions of all boards, the beams are analyzed using a finite element (FE) model. This information is further exploited to find optimal beam setups out of a sample of boards. However, as the complexity of this optimization task quickly increases with the number of boards, metaheuristic optimization algorithms were developed. Additionally, the evaluation of the computationally expensive FE model is bypassed by a metamodel, capable of approximating the desired performance parameter of any beam. Comparing the various optimization approaches to common GLT beam production methods, maximum deflection can be reduced by 15% 20%

Medical Visual Question Answering at Image CLEF 2019 VQA Med
Venue: CLEF
Year: 2019

This paper describes the submission created by PwC US Advisory for the Medical Domain Visual Question Answering (VQA Med) Task of Image CLEF 2019. The goal of the challenge was to create a Visual Question Answering System which uses medical images as context to generate answers. The VQA pipeline classifies the questions into two groups, the first group of questions involves giving answers from a fixed pool of predefined answer categories and the second group of questions involves generating answers based on the abnormality seen in the image. The first model uses question embeddings from the Universal Sentence Encoder and Image Embeddings from ResNet which are fed into an attention based classifier to generate answers. The second model uses the same ResNet image embedding along with word embeddings from a Word2Vec model pre trained on PubMed data which is used as an input to a sequence to sequence model which generates descriptions of abnormalities. This methodology helped us achieve reasonable results with a strict accuracy of 48% and a BLEU score of 53% on the challenge's test data.
The role of public policies in promoting innovation and innovation complementarities in developing countries: the case of the Argentinian software industry
Year: 2017

Successful firm level innovation depends on the development and integration of new knowledge into the innovation processes, which usually comes from different sources. Largely, industrial and innovation economics literature studies the degree to which internal and external knowledge sources are complementary or substitutes for the innovation process. This chapter discusses the relevance of innovation complementarities for developing economies with a specific focus on policy implications. As an illustrative case, the chapter presents an application of modern complementarity tests (super and sub modularity tests) to a knowledge intensive business services sector from an emerging economy. The chapter uses technological micro data of software firms in Argentina and considers estimation results in light of industrial policy implemented in the country.
Hilos, bordes, flecos y nacimiento divino: Los textiles como pasaje a lo sobrenatural
Year: 2013

En la Biblia, los textiles desempenan un papel muy importante en la transgresion de la frontera que existe entre lo humano y lo divino, permitiendo en este proceso un encuentro entre ambos territorios. Los historiadores del arte se han dado cuenta de que lo anterior no solo es cierto para los textos sino tambien para las imagenes. Comenzando por los bordes y el extremo del manto de la Virgen Maria, este texto investiga el significado que los textiles, asi como las fronteras entre estos, tienen para la Encarnacion y la Inmaculada Concepcion tanto en el contexto cristiano como en la Antiguedad griega.
Online Learning Behaviors for Radiology Interns Based on Association Rules and Clustering Technique.
Year: 2014

In a hospital, clinical teachers must also care for patients, so there is less time for the teaching of clinical courses, or for discussing clinical cases with interns. However, electronic learning (e learning) can complement clinical skills education for interns in a blended learning process. Students discuss and interact with classmates in an e learning collaborative environment. E learning can assist clinical training and provides a collaborative environment, but every student has individual learning preferences on the e learning platform. A typical platform, such as a learning management system (LMS) does not provide individual learning activities for every student. This paper clusters students into two groups: active and inactive groups. In each group, students' learning behavior patterns, i.e. the association rules for activities, are derived from the transaction data for the LMS. The cluster to which a student belongs defines the online learning behaviors, from the activity association rules. The method then provides individual preferred activities. Teachers instruct students in accordance with their aptitude, as derived from the learning behavior pattern. The cluster analysis shows that students in active group often view teaching videos after completing feedback. Students in the inactive group often view teaching materials after adding posts on a forum.
Structural Art of The Art of War
Year: 2010

The superb structural art and thought content of The Art of War bring out the best in each other.It initiated a new type of scientific paper,and its structural system and presentation are of unified scientific arrangement and overall planning.Its ideological theory abides by the law of thought of traditional culture and arranges the structural system is arranged at different levels according to "Tao,principle and tactics".Six basic structural styles are created in accordance with the principles of meaning orientation and organizing the structure according to the unity and coherence of the context.These structural styles are straightforward and colorful,which form a balanced overall structure and sicentifically and ideally reflect Sun Tzu's ideological form and theoretical connotation.In terms of artistic layout,Sun Tzu achieved rigorous structure and was brief and to the point in his writing through clearly defining the central idea and stressing the main point,transition and coordination and aphorism.Sun Tzu also did very well in scientific definition,material demonstration,tempo and rhythm and word contemplation.Hence,Sun Tzu's ideological theory was highly and orderly expressed and became the originator of eastern military science and the important classic of traditional culture.
Presence of meaning, search for meaning, religiousness, satisfaction with life and depressive symptoms among a diverse Israeli sample.
Venue: International journal of psychology Journal international de psychologie
Year: 2020

The present study explored the structure and correlates of meaning in life (MIL) among an Israeli sample. The sample consisted of 559 adults. The average age of participants was 48.24 and 61.3% of them were females. Participants provided demographic information and completed measures of MIL, satisfaction with life, and depressive symptoms. The MIL Questionnaire showed a very good fit for the proposed 2 factor model (i.e. presence of meaning, search for meaning) to the data collected from the current sample. Presence of meaning correlated positively with both search for meaning and satisfaction with life, and negatively with depressive symptoms. Search for meaning was positively and weakly tied to satisfaction with life, but was unrelated to depressive symptoms. Religiousness appeared as a significant moderator between the two meaning factors, and between them and life satisfaction. Specifically, as religiousness became stronger: (a) the link between presence of meaning and search for meaning became weaker; (b) the link between presence of meaning and life satisfaction became stronger and (c) the link between search for meaning and life satisfaction became weaker. The findings suggest that there are differential implications of presence search for meaning on the health and well being, and the important role religiousness plays in this regard.
Instance Segmentation Network With Self Distillation for Scene Text Detection
Venue: IEEE Access
Year: 2020

Segmentation based methods have become the mainstream for detecting scene text with arbitrary orientations and shapes. In order to address challenging problems such as separating the text instances that are very close to each other, however, these methods often require time consuming post processing. In this paper, we propose an instance segmentation network (ISNet) which simultaneously generates prototype masks and per instance mask coefficients. After linearly combining the two components, ISNet can implement fast text location. Furthermore, we apply self distillation to train the ISNet and refine its detection accuracy. We have evaluated the proposed method on four popular benchmarks, i.e. ICDAR2015, ICDAR2017 MLT, CTW1500 and Total Text, and the experimental results show that it can achieve better tradeoff between accuracy and efficiency for scene text detection.
Successful biosynthesis of natural antioxidant ergothioneine in Saccharomyces cerevisiae required only two genes from Grifola frondosa
Venue: Microbial Cell Factories
Year: 2020

Ergothioneine (EGT) has a unique antioxidant ability and diverse beneficial effects on human health. But the content of EGT is very low in its natural producing organisms such as Mycobacterium smegmatis and mushrooms. Therefore, it is necessary to highly efficient heterologous production of EGT in food grade yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two EGT biosynthetic genes were cloned from the mushroom Grifola frondosa and successfully heterologously expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae EC1118 strain in this study. By optimization of the fermentation conditions of the engineered strain S. cerevisiae EC1118, the 11.80 mg/L of EGT production was obtained. With daily addition of 1% glycerol to the culture medium in the fermentation process, the EGT production of the engineered strain S. cerevisiae EC1118 can reach up to 20.61 mg/L. A successful EGT de novo biosynthetic system of S. cerevisiae containing only two genes from mushroom Grifola frondosa was developed in this study. This system provides promising prospects for the large scales production of EGT for human health.
