Azeem, Salman,Gillani, Syed Wasif,Siddiqui, Ammar,Jandrajupalli, Suresh Babu,Poh, Vinci,Sulaiman, Syed Azhar Syed Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2015 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.16 No.13
Diet is one of the major factors that can exert a majorly influence on colorectal cancer risk. This systematic review aimed to find correlations between various diet types, food or nutrients and colorectal cancer risk among Asian populations. Search limitations include dAsian populations residing in Asia, being published from the year 2008 till present, and written in the English language. A total of 16 articles were included in this systematic review. We found that red meats, processed meats, preserved foods, saturated/animal fats, cholesterol, high sugar foods, spicy foods, tubers or refined carbohydrates have been found by most studies to have a positive association with colorectal cancer risk. Inversely, calcium/dairy foods, vitamin D, general vegetable/fruit/fiber consumption, cruciferous vegetables, soy bean/soy products, selenium, vitamins C,E and B12, lycophene, alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, folic acid and many other vitamins and minerals play a protective role against colorectal cancer risk. Associations of fish and seafood consumption with colorectal cancer risk are still inconclusive due to many varying findings, and require further more detailed studies to pinpoint the actual correlation. There is either a positive or no association for total meat consumption or white meats, however their influence is not as strong as with red and processed meats.

Polysaccharides from different sources have found their applications in the wound care for their inherent abilitiesof gelling, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and antibacterial activity. Considering the low cost, ease of processing,abundance in nature and therapeutic benefits of the polysaccharides we developed psyllium, alginate and chitosan (PAC)composite fibers and modelled their physical properties namely; tenacity, linear density and absorption in both distilled waterand saline solution; using Box-Behnken (BB) technique of Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The PAC fibers wereproduced using an in house developed wet spinning module; briefly the dope solutions containing psyllium and alginate wereextruded into a hydrolyzed chitosan and CaCl2. The produced fibers were acetone washed to remove the polar solvent; in thiscase water; and later dried in air. The present work aimed at the development of statistical models for physical properties:linear density, tenacity, antibacterial efficacy and liquid absorption; of the composite PAC fibers. The factors underconsideration were the raw material concentration namely; alginate and psyllium in dope solution and calcium chloride(CaCl2) and hydrolysed chitosan in the coagulation bath. The experimental work was designed and analyzed using Minitab®17 statistical software. Regression models using the under consideration factors were successfully developed.

( Azeem Irshad ),( Muhammad Sher ),( Hafiz Farooq Ahmad ),( Bander A. Alzahrani ),( Shehzad Ashraf Chaudhry ),( Rahul Kumar ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2016 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.10 No.12
Mobile cloud computing (MCC) has revolutionized the way in which the services can be obtained from the cloud service providers. Manifold increase in the number of mobile devices and subscribers in MCC has further enhanced the need of an efficient and robust authentication solution. Earlier, the subscribers could get cloud-computing services from the cloud service providers only after having consulted the trusted third party. Recently, Tsai and Lo has proposed a multi-server authenticated key agreement solution for MCC based on bilinear pairing, to eliminate the trusted third party for mutual authentication. The scheme has been novel as far as the minimization of trusted party involvement in authenticating the user and service provider, is concerned. However, the Tsai and Lo scheme has been found vulnerable to server spoofing attack (misrepresentation attack), de-synchronization attack and denial-of-service attack, which renders the scheme unsuitable for practical deployment in different wireless mobile access networks. Therefore, we have proposed an improved model based on bilinear pairing, countering the identified threats posed to Tsai and Lo scheme. Besides, the proposed work also demonstrates performance evaluation and formal security analysis.

Multi-server authentication enables the subscribers to enjoy an assortment of services from various service providers based on a single registration from any registration centre. Previously, a subscriber had to register from each service provider individually to avail respective services relying on single server authentication. In the past, a number of multi-server authentication techniques can be witnessed that employed lightweight and even computationally intensive cryptographic operations. In line with this, Zhu has presented a chaotic map based multi-server authentication scheme recently, which is not only vulnerable to denial-of-service attack, stolen-verifier attack, but also lacks anonymity. This research aims at improving the Zhu`s protocol in terms of cost and efficiency. Moreover, the comparative study is presented for the performance of improved model against the existing scheme, and the security of proposed model is formally proved using BAN Logic.

Purpose: This study is aimed at investigating whether inpatient complications and surgical site infections (SSIs) occurred more commonly in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) during the summer season. Materials and Methods: A total of 725 patients who underwent unilateral or bilateral TKA were included in this study. A total of 241 patients (33.2%) underwent TKA between May and August. Our outcomes of interest were the incidence of postoperative complications and length of stay. Results: May–August surgeries were associated with a higher risk of postoperative inpatient complications (p=0.003). May–August surgeries (odds ratio [OR], 2.13; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.18 to 3.85), postoperative transfusion (OR, 2.46; 95% CI, 1.43 to 4.26), postoperative special care unit stay (OR, 4.68; 95% CI, 1.99 to 11.0) and chronic kidney disease (OR, 3.27; 95% CI, 1.15 to 9.28) were associated with a higher odds of developing inpatient complications. No association was present between summer surgeries and SSIs (p=0.486). Conclusions: The results of this study show that overall complication rates following TKA exhibit a seasonal trend, with a peak during the summer months. These results may have some implication in clinical practice and stricter approaches to hospital guidelines during the summer months.
Face recognition invariant to partial occlusions
( Azeem Aisha ),( Sharif Muhammad ),( Shah Jamal Hussain ),( Raza Mudassar ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2014 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.8 No.7
Face recognition is considered a complex biometrics in the field of image processing mainly due to the constraints imposed by variation in the appearance of facial images. These variations in appearance are affected by differences in expressions and/or occlusions (sunglasses, scarf etc.). This paper discusses incremental Kernel Fisher Discriminate Analysis on sub-classes for dealing with partial occlusions and variant expressions. This framework focuses on the division of classes into fixed size sub-classes for effective feature extraction. For this purpose, it modifies the traditional Linear Discriminant Analysis into incremental approach in the kernel space. Experiments are performed on AR, ORL, Yale B and MIT-CBCL face databases. The results show a significant improvement in face recognition.

( Azeem Irshad ),( Muhammad Sher ),( Bander A. Alzahrani ),( Aiiad Albeshri ),( Shehzad Ashraf Chaudhry ),( Saru Kumari ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2018 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.12 No.1
The increasing number of subscribers and demand of multiplicity of services has turned Multi-Server Authentication (MSA) into an integral part of remote authentication paradigm. MSA not only offers an efficient mode to register the users by engaging a trusted third party (Registration Centre), but also a cost-effective architecture for service procurement, onwards. Recently, Lu et al.’s scheme demonstrated that Mishra et al.’s scheme is unguarded to perfect forward secrecy compromise, server masquerading, and forgery attacks, and presented a better scheme. However, we discovered that Lu et al.’s scheme is still susceptible to malicious insider attack and non-compliant to perfect forward secrecy. This study presents a critical review on Lu et al.’s scheme and then proposes a secure multi-server authentication scheme. The security properties of contributed work are validated with automated Proverif tool and proved under formal security analysis.

This study focuses on measuring the levels of naturally occurring radioactivity in the soil of Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, as well as the associated health hazard. Thirty (30) soil samples were collected from various locations and analyzed for 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K radioactivity levels using a High Purity Germanium detector (HPGe) gamma-ray spectrometer with a photo-peak efficiency of approximately 52.3%. The average values obtained for these radionuclides are 35.6 ± 5.7 Bqkg 1, 47 ± 12.5 Bqkg 1, and 877 ± 153 Bqkg 1, respectively. The level of 232Th is slightly higher and 40K is 2.2 times higher than the internationally recommended limit of 30 Bqkg 1 and 400 Bqkg 1, respectively. Various parameters were calculated based on the results obtained, including Radium Equivalent (Raeq), External Hazard (Hex), Absorbed Dose Rate (D), Annual Gonadal Equivalent Dose (AGDE), Annual Effective Dose Rate, and Excess Lifetime Cancer Risk (ELCR), which are 170.3 ± 24 Bqkg 1, 0.46 ± 0.06 Bqkg 1, 81.4 ± 2.04 nGy h 1, 582 ± 78.08 μSvy 1, 99.8 ± 13.5 μSv Gy 1, and 0.349 ± 0.04, respectively. These values are below the limits recommended by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) in 2002. This study highlights the potential radiation threats associated with natural radioactivity levels in the soil of Swabi and provides valuable information for public health and safety

Essential oil from Ngai camphor plant was successfully incorporated into cellulose acetate nanofibers using a horizontal electrospinning setup. SEM micrographs confirms bead free continuous nanofiber production. The incorporation of essential oil increased the nanofiber diameter. FTIR spectra confirm the encapsulation of the essential oil in the nanofibers. XRD diffractogram suggests a decrease in the peak intensity of the cellulose acetate which can be associated with the shifting of the hydrogen bonds in the polymer chains upon inclusion of the essential oil. The essential oil loaded nanofibers were effective against the Gram negative (E. coli) and gram positive (S. aureus). The essential oil loaded nanofibers showed excellent biocompatibility when incubated with NIH3T3 cell line. The nanofibers showed weak antioxidant activity. The essential oil showed a bi-phasic release profile and followed first-order kinetics.
