Avoiding Cyber Fraud in Small Businesses: What Auditors and Owners Need to Know
Authors: G. Jack Bologna, Jack Bologna, Paul Shaw
Venue:  (2000)

:Critical guidance on what auditors and businesses can do to prevent and detect the most rapidly growing kind of fraud--cyber fraudWith an average life span of only about five years, small businesses are especially prone to failure because of inadequate internal controls. The most prevalent internal problem they face today is cyber fraud because small businesses lack adequate capital and technological resources to protect their assets. Here, auditors, business owners, and managers--the ones being held accountable when this kind of criminal activity is detected--will learn how to beware of the dangers of internal theft by computer, illegal access to information systems, credit card frauds, and Internet scams, and insure that adequate controls are in place for its prevention and detection. * The first book to empower auditors and small business owners with the knowledge needed to prevent cyber fraudG. Jack Balogna, BBA, JD, CFE (Plymouth, MI), is President of Computer Protection Systems, Inc. His numerous publications include The Accountant's Handbook of Fraud and Commercial Crime (Wiley). Paul Shaw (Madison, WI) is the Editor and Publisher of Computing & Communications: Law and Protection and Assets Protection, periodicals that ship to over 4,000 individuals.

Revealing protein structures: a new method for mapping antibody epitopes
Authors: Brendan M. Mumey, Brian W. Bailey, Edward A. Dratz
Venue: Proceedings of the sixth annual international conference on Computational biology (2002)

A recent idea for determining the three-dimensional structure of a protein uses antibody recognition of surface structure and random peptide libraries to map antibody epitope combining sites. Antibodies that bind to the surface of the protein of interest can be used as "witnesses" to report the structure of the protein as follows: Proteins are composed of linear polypeptide chains that come together in complex spatial folding patterns to create the native protein structures and these folded structures form the binding sites for the antibodies. Short amino acid probe sequences, which bind to the active region of each antibody, can be selected from random sequence peptide libraries. These probe sequences can often be aligned to discontinuous regions of the one-dimensional target sequence of a protein. Such alignments indicate how pieces of the protein sequence must be folded together in space and thus provide valuable long-range constraints for solving the overall 3-D structure. This new approach is applicable to the very large number of proteins that are refractory to current approaches to structure determination and has the advantage of requiring very small amounts of the target protein. The binding site of an antibody is a surface, not just a linear sequence, so the epitope mapping alignment problem is outside the scope of classical string alignment algorithms, such as Smith-Waterman. We formalize the alignment problem that is at the heart of this new approach, prove that the epitope mapping alignment problem is NP-complete, and give some initial results using a branch-and-bound algorithm to map two real-life cases.

MCSE Windows 2000 Core Exams: Training Guide: Exams 70-210, 70-215, 70-216, & 70-217
Authors: Dennis Maione, Rob Scrimger, Dave Bixler, Gord Barker, Doug Harrision, Damir Bersinic
Venue:  (2000)

From the Book:It is probably redundant or obvious to say that a good installation is essential to the proper operation of your Windows 2000 member server. If you do not install properly, you will spend a lot of time subsequent to installation fixing your configuration. Moreover, the more installations you do, the more efficient you will want the process to be. To build your knowledge base, this chapter will deal with a wide variety of attended and unattended installation methods. It addresses the pros and cons of the methods to ensure that you are doing the right thing at the right time. The prelude to the published exam objectives states that the 70-215 exam covers areas of Windows 2000 Server functionality as it relates to your ability to "...implement, administer, and troubleshoot Windows 2000 Server as a member server of a domain in an Active Directory environment." As a result, this text presupposes that you are operating in an environment in which you have already set up (or have available) a Windows 2000 domain controller. In addition, no attempt will be made to explain Active Directory, except where it is imperative to the understanding of a member server concept (that is for another text and other exams). A member server is a Windows 2000 server that functions in a domain but does not hold a copy of the Active Directory. As a result, it does not validate domain logon, but it might validate logon into the local machine. Member servers require the presence of a domain controller in order to create a computer account to enable them to join a domain. Member servers generally perform functions such as file and print services, application services (like running an email server) andWeb services (like being a Web server). All of these will be discussed in other chapters. The exam focuses on five main areas of installation: attended installations, unattended installations, upgrades from NT 4.0, incremental installations of services packs, and troubleshooting installation. Each of these topics will be covered in detail in the following sections.
Numerical Solution of Linear Quasistatic Hereditary Viscoelasticity Problems
Authors: Simon Shaw, J. R. Whiteman
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

We give a space-time Galerkin finite element discretization of the linear quasistatic compressible viscoelasticity problem as described by an elliptic partial differential equation with a Volterra (memory) term. The discretization consists of a continuous piecewise linear approximation in space with a discontinuous piecewise constant or linear approximation in time. We derive an a priori maximum energy-error estimate by exploiting Galerkin "orthogonality" and the data-stability of a related discrete backward problem. Illustrative numerical experiments are also included, as also is a brief description of our first results on a posteriori error estimation. This allows for adaptive control of the space mesh but not of the time step.

Proximal Point Approach and Approximation of Variational Inequalities
Authors: A. Kaplan, R. Tichatschke
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

A general approach to analyze convergence of the proximal-like methods for variational inequalities with set-valued maximal monotone operators is developed. It is oriented to methods coupling successive approximation of the variational inequality with the proximal point algorithm as well as to related methods using regularization on a subspace and weak regularization. This approach also covers so-called multistep regularization methods, in which the number of proximal iterations in the approximated problems is controlled by a criterion characterizing these iterations as to be effective. The conditions on convergence require control of the exactness of the approximation only in a certain region of the original space. Conditions ensuring linear convergence of the methods are established.

Establishing wireless conference calls under delay constraints
Authors: Amotz Bar-Noy, Grzegorz Malewicz
Venue: Proceedings of the twenty-first annual symposium on Principles of distributed computing (2002)

A prevailing feature of mobile telephony systems is that the cell where a mobile user is located may be unknown. Therefore when the system is to establish a call between users it may need to search, or page, all the cells that it suspects the users are located in, to find the cells where the users currently reside. The search consumes expensive wireless links and so it is desirable to develop search techniques that page as few cells as possible.We consider cellular systems with c cells and m mobile users roaming among the cells. The location of the users is uncertain as given by probability distribution vectors. Whenever the system needs to find specific users, it conducts a search operation lasting some number of rounds (the delay constraint). In each round the system may check an arbitrary subset of cells to see which users are located there. In this setting the problem of finding one user with minimum expected number of cells searched is known to be solved optimally in polynomial time.In this paper we address the problem of finding several users with the same optimization goal. This task is motivated by the problem of establishing a conference call between mobile users. We first show that the problem is NP-hard. Then we prove that a natural and simple heuristic is a e/e-1 approximation solution.
Brauer Diagrams, Updown Tableaux and Nilpotent Matrices
Authors: Itaru Terada
Venue: Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics: An International Journal (2001)

We interpret geometrically a variant of the Robinson-Schensted correspondence which links Brauer diagrams with updown tableaux, in the spirit of Steinberg's result [32] on the original Robinson-Schensted correspondence. Our result uses the variety of all (N, \omega, {\bi V}) where {\bi V} is a complete flag in {\bb C}^{2n}, \omega is a nondegenerate alternating bilinear form on {\bb C}^{2n}, and i>N is a nilpotent element of the Lie algebra of the simultaneous stabilizer of both &omega; and {\bi V}, instead of Steinberg's variety of (N, {\bi V}, {\bi V}^\prime) where {\bi V} and {\bi V}^\prime are two complete flags in {\bb C}^n and i>N is a nilpotent element of the Lie algebra of the simultaneous stabilizer of both {\bi V} and {\bi V}^\prime.
