Protecting the iTrust Information Retrieval Network against Malicious Attacks
Yung-Ting Chuang,P. Michael Melliar-Smith,Louise E. Moser,Isaí Michel Lombera 한국정보과학회 2012 Journal of Computing Science and Engineering Vol.6 No.3
This paper presents novel statistical algorithms for protecting the iTrust information retrieval network against malicious attacks. In iTrust, metadata describing documents, and requests containing keywords, are randomly distributed to multiple participating nodes. The nodes that receive the requests try to match the keywords in the requests with the metadata they hold. If a node finds a match, the matching node returns the URL of the associated information to the requesting node. The requesting node then uses the URL to retrieve the information from the source node. The novel detection algorithm determines empirically the probabilities of the specific number of matches based on the number of responses that the requesting node receives. It also calculates the analytical probabilities of the specific numbers of matches. It compares the observed and the analytical probabilities to estimate the proportion of subverted or non-operational nodes in the iTrust network using a window-based method and the chi-squared statistic. If the detection algorithm determines that some of the nodes in the iTrust network are subverted or non-operational, then the novel defensive adaptation algorithm increases the number of nodes to which the requests are distributed to maintain the same probability of a match when some of the nodes are subverted or non-operational as compared to when all of the nodes are operational. Experimental results substantiate the effectiveness of the detection and defensive adaptation algorithms for protecting the iTrust information retrieval network against malicious attacks.

Background: Incidence and mortality rates for cancer have increased dramatically in the recent 30 years in Taiwan. However, not all patients receive treatment. Treatment refusal might impair patient survival and life quality. In order to improve this situation, we proposed this study to evaluate factors that are related to refusal of treatment in cancer patients via a cancer case manager system. Materials and Methods: This study analysed data from a case management system during the period from 2010 to 2012 at a medical center in Northern Taiwan. We enrolled a total of 14,974 patients who were diagnosed with cancer. Using the PRECEDE Model as a framework, we conducted logistic regression analysis to identify independent variables that are significantly associated with refusal of therapy in cancer patients. A multivariate logistic regression model was also applied to estimate adjusted the odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Results: A total of 253 patients (1.69%) refused treatment. The multivariate logistic regression result showed that the high risk factors for refusal of treatment in cancer patient included: concerns about adverse effects (p<0.001), poor performance(p<0.001), changes in medical condition (p<0.001), timing of case manager contact (p=.026), the methods by which case manager contact patients (p<0.001) and the frequency that case managers contact patients (${\geq}10times$) (p=0.016). Conclusions: Cancer patients who refuse treatment have poor survival. The present study provides evidence of factors that are related to refusal of therapy and might be helpful for further application and improvement of cancer care.
Full-Duplex Underwater Acoustic Communications via Self-Interference Cancellation in Space
Hsieh, Yung-Ting,Qi, Zhuoran,Pompili, Dario 한국통신학회 2023 Journal of communications and networks Vol.25 No.2
Traditionally, underwater acoustic communicationsare half-duplex (HD), i.e., the hydrophones and transducersoperate in non-overlapping time-slots/frequency-bands in one di-rection. To double the spectral efficiency into the full-duplex (FD)mode, which transmit and receive signals simultaneously, a self-interference cancellation (SIC) technique in space is introducedand deployed. Specifically, a novel underwater acoustic system isproposed to perform FD-SIC efficiently via an integrated designcombining underwater acoustic vector sensor (AVS) and phasedarray transducer (PAT) to realize the spatial SIC. The energyfocusing function of the beamformer (BF) helps PAT avoid selfand mutual spatial interference. The AVS keeps updating thedirection of arrival information to let BF adjust the steeringangle via an adaptive protocol. The field-programmable gatearray (FPGA) Direction of Arrival Estimation (DOA) estimationis done by a 12-element AVS, run-time is 1.22×10−4 s byMUSIC method, which is promising for real-time applications. Inthis work, phase-shift keying (PSK) and PSK-based orthogonalfrequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) are deployed as theFD transmission modulation methods in the spacial SIC. Theproposal is evaluated and verified via both simulations andemulations in real underwater acoustic channels collected in theGulf of La Spezia, Italy, and it is able to achieve 59 dB SIC whilemodulating with binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) with carrierwave frequency 80 kHz and AVS steering angle −5◦. Moreover,it has at least 37 dB SIC within the steering angle region.

Ginsenoside (G) Rp₁ is a ginseng saponin derivative with anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, we examined the mechanism by which G-Rp₁ inhibits inflammatory responses of cells. We did this using a strategy in which DNA constructs containing cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) promoters were transfected into HEK293 cells. G-Rp₁ strongly inhibited the promoter activities of COX-2 and iNOS; it also inhibited lipopolysaccharide induced upregulation of COX-2 and iNOS mRNA levels in RAW264.7 cells. In HEK293 cells G-Rp₁ did not suppress TANK binding kinase 1-, Toll-interleukin-1 receptor-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-b (TRIF)-, TRIF-related adaptor molecule (TRAM)-, or activation of interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-3 and nuclear factor (NF)-κB by the myeloid differentiation primary response gene (MyD88)-induced. However, G-Rp₁ strongly suppressed NF-κB activation induced by Iκβ kinase (IKK)β in HEK293 cells. Consistent with these results, G-Rp₁ substantially inhibited IKKβ-induced phosphorylation of Iκβα and p65. These results suggest that G-Rp₁ is a novel anti-inflammatory ginsenoside analog that can be used to treat IKKβ/NF-κB-mediated inflammatory diseases.

<P>Diterpene kahweol, one of the major components in coffee, has anti-cancer, anti-oxidative, and anti-inflammatory activity. In this study, we explored the molecular mechanism of the anti-inflammatory activity of kahweol. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW264.7 cells were used to explore the modulatory role of kahweol on nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E<SUB>2</SUB> (PGE<SUB>2</SUB>) production and the activation of signaling proteins and transcription factors using immunoblotting and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Kahweol diminished both the production of NO and PGE<SUB>2</SUB> and the mRNA expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2. Interestingly, this compound suppressed the phospho-signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT)-1 and p65/nuclear factor (NF)-κB levels in the nucleus but not c-Jun and c-fos. In conjunction, the phosphorylation of Akt and Janus kinase (JAK)2 also decreased. Therefore, our data suggest that kahweol in coffee may be an anti-inflammatory modulator with NF-κB/STAT-1-targeted inhibitory properties in LPS-activated RAW264.7 cells.</P>

Ginsenoside (G) $Rp_1$ is a ginseng saponin derivative with anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, we examined the mechanism by which G-$Rp_1$ inhibits inflammatory responses of cells. We did this using a strategy in which DNA constructs containing cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) promoters were transfected into HEK293 cells. G-$Rp_1$ strongly inhibited the promoter activities of COX-2 and iNOS; it also inhibited lipopolysaccharide induced upregulation of COX-2 and iNOS mRNA levels in RAW264.7 cells. In HEK293 cells G-$Rp_1$ did not suppress TANK binding kinase 1-, Toll-interleukin-1 receptor-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-${\beta}$ (TRIF)-, TRIF-related adaptor molecule (TRAM)-, or activation of interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-3 and nuclear factor (NF)-${\kappa}$B by the myeloid differentiation primary response gene (MyD88)-induced. However, G-$Rp_1$ strongly suppressed NF-${\kappa}$B activation induced by I${\kappa}$B kinase (IKK)${\beta}$ in HEK293 cells. Consistent with these results, G-$Rp_1$ substantially inhibited IKK${\beta}$-induced phosphorylation of $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$ and p65. These results suggest that G-$Rp_1$ is a novel anti-inflammatory ginsenoside analog that can be used to treat IKK${\beta}$/NF-${\kappa}$B-mediated inflammatory diseases.

The brown Planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens is a major pest of rice production in tropical Asia. The appearance of insecticide resistance challenges the control of BPH in field. The development of new insecticide is expensive and time-consuming. Thus, the precise and proper use of existing compounds becomes an important issue in resistance management of this pest. In this study, five commercial insecticides of BPH (permethrin, chlorpyrifos, imidacloprid, clothianidin and thiamethoxam) were tested to explore the toxicity of the binary mixture between different kinds of insecticides. In all combinations of mixture, the mixtures of permethrin and chlorpyrifos displays synergistic effect at three different mixture ratios (1:1, 1:10 and 10:1). The strongest synergism observed in permethrin/ chlorpyrifos mixtures at 1:1 ratio (Combination index, CI = 0.39). Addition of enzyme inhibitor followed by detoxification enzyme activity assays suggested that the mechanism of synergistic effect of permethrin/chlorpyrifos mixture may result from inhibition of the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase and esterase activity. This inference can be supported through two lines of evidence. One is decrease of toxicity when permethrin/chlorpyrifos mixture in a 1:1 ratio plus triphenyl phosphate (TPP) or piperonyl butoxide (PBO), but increase of toxicity when permethrin/chlorpyrifos mixture in a 10:1 ratio plus TPP or PBO. Another is exposure of the 3rd instar nymphs to permethrin/chlorpyrifos mixture after 72 h also significantly decreased both cytochrome P450 monooxygenases and esterase activity. Further field trail showed the mixture of 50 ppm permethrin +50 ppm chlorpyrifos increased the field control efficiency significantly rather than permethrin alone or chlorpyrifos alone. Our study indicated that the mixture of permethrin and chlorpyrifos in a 1:1 ratio might be an effective method for the control of BPH in paddy field.
