Acceptability Of Seasonal Influenza Vaccines Among Low-Risk Adults In An Urban Emergency Department, Kamila Sikora

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Emergency departments (EDs) are the only source of medical care for many adults and have been found to be feasible venues for vaccinating high-risk patients against seasonal influenza. Since the CDC guidelines expanded in 2008 to include any adults wishing to protect themselves and those around them from the flu, the vaccination of low-risk patients in the ED has not been evaluated. This study sought to assess the acceptability among adult patients of all ages for vaccinating against seasonal influenza in the Urgent Care area of an urban ED, which treats primarily healthy adults. A convenience sample of adult patients …

Virus Silicification Under Simulated Hot Spring Conditions, James R. Laidler, Kenneth M. Stedman

Biology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Silicification of organisms in silica-depositing environments can impact both their ecology and their presence in the fossil record. Although microbes have been silicified under laboratory and environmental conditions, viruses have not. Bacteriophage T4 was successfully silicified under laboratory conditions that closely simulated those found in silica-depositing hot springs. Virus morphology was maintained, and a clear elemental signature of phosphorus was detected by energy-dispersive X-ray spectrophotometry (EDS).

3dq: Threat Dome Visibility Querying On Mobile Devices, James Carswell, Keith Gardiner, Junjun Yin

Articles

3DQ (Three Dimensional Query) is our mobile spatial interaction (MSI) prototype for location and orientation aware mobile devices (i.e. today's sensor enabled smartphones). The prototype tailors a military style threat dome query calculation using MSI with hidden query removal functionality for reducing “information overload” on these off-the-shelf devices. The effect gives a more accurate and expected query result for Location-Based Services (LBS) applications by returning information on only those objects visible within a user’s 3D field-of-view. Our standardised XML based request/response design enables any mobile device, regardless of operating system and/or programming language, to access the 3DQ web-service interfaces.

A New Method For Deriving Aerosol Solar Radiative Forcing And Its First Application Within Milagro/Intex-B, K. S. Schmidt, P. Pilewskie, R. Bergstrom, O. Coddington, J. Redemann, J. Livingston, P. Russell, E. Bierwirth, M. Wendisch, W. Gore, M. K. Dubey, C. Mazzoleni

Michigan Tech Publications, Part 1

We introduce a method for deriving aerosol spectral radiative forcing along with single scattering albedo, asymmetry parameter, and surface albedo from airborne vertical profile measurements of shortwave spectral irradiance and spectral aerosol optical thickness. The new method complements the traditional, direct measurement of aerosol radiative forcing efficiency from horizontal flight legs below gradients of aerosol optical thickness, and is particularly useful over heterogeneous land surfaces and for homogeneous aerosol layers where the horizontal gradient method is impractical. Using data collected by the Solar Spectral Flux Radiometer (SSFR) and the Ames Airborne Tracking Sunphotometer (AATS-14) during the MILAGRO (Megacity Initiative: Local …

Customer Management Analysis Of Irish Plumbing & Heating Distribution System: A Simulation Study, Amr Arisha, Amr Mahfouz, John Crowe, Finbarr Bennett

Conference papers

The sudden burst of the property bubble, coupled with current global economic conditions has resulted in a huge decrease in demand for plumbing and heating fixtures in the Irish construction industry. Moreover, inefficient supply chain management policies have imposed further pressures on companies resulting in more system bottlenecks and unnecessary costs. Inventory management is seen as a functional area that can ease such bottlenecks and in turn increase supply chain efficiency, decrease costs and increase customer satisfaction. The challenge is to predict the balance of on-hand inventory and order quantity to optimise customer satisfaction and minimise inventory cost. It is …

Economic Impact Of Youth Sports: Hosting Baseball And Softball Tournaments In A Mid-South Community, Carl Behunin

Student Theses and Dissertations

Increased community interest in sporting events, uncertain economic periods, and accountability of city government spending can increase the need for more awareness of potential economic impact of sports tournaments on host communities. There has been increased research devoted to determining the economic impacts athletic events have on regions, states and cities. This study considers previous empirical studies in U.S. cities concerned with measuring the economic impact of athletic events and uses those as a model to assess the economic impact of such events in a mid-southern community. It also points out common mistakes when conducting economic impact studies on sports. …

Preliminary Analysis Of Thermally Induced Condensed Phase Electron Transfer Reactions Of Copper Chloride With Electropositive Metals, Indrani Kothuru

Student Theses and Dissertations

The thermal stabilities and thermal decomposition of copper metal and its chlorides with electropositive metals such as Pb, Sn, Ni, Co, Cd, Fe, Cr and Mn at non standard temperatures was investigated. The heat capacities and change in enthalpy (ΔH) of the reactions were calculated using the onset temperatures obtained from DTA/TGA plot using Kirchhoff‟s Law. In the case of Co, it was observed that the calculated ΔH values at elevated temperatures gives a negative value indicating the reaction is exothermic but their respective DTA/TGA plots of CuCl2 + Co shows no sign of exothermic peak. However, in the case …

Malware Detection Based On Structural And Behavioural Features Of Api Calls, Manoun Alazab, Robert Layton, Sitalakshmi Venkataraman, Paul Watters

International Cyber Resilience conference

In this paper, we propose a five-step approach to detect obfuscated malware by investigating the structural and behavioural features of API calls. We have developed a fully automated system to disassemble and extract API call features effectively from executables. Using n-gram statistical analysis of binary content, we are able to classify if an executable file is malicious or benign. Our experimental results with a dataset of 242 malwares and 72 benign files have shown a promising accuracy of 96.5% for the unigram model. We also provide a preliminary analysis by our approach using support vector machine (SVM) and by varying …

Mitigating Cyber-Threats Through Public-Private Partnerships: Low Cost Governance With High-Impact Returns , David M. Cook

International Cyber Resilience conference

The realization that cyber threats can cause the same devastation to a country as physical security risks has taken the long route towards acceptance. Governments and businesses have thrown the glove of responsibility back and forth on numerous occasions, with government agencies citing the need for private enterprise to take up the mantle, and Business returning the gesture by proposing a ‘national’ perspective on cyber security. Ambit claims such as these drain a range of security resources when both sides should work in concert by directing all available energy towards resolving cyber-threats. This paper compares the public-private arrangements through Australasia …

Small Business - A Cyber Resilience Vulnerability , Patricia A H Williams, Rachel J. Manheke

International Cyber Resilience conference

Small business in Australia comprise 95% of businesses. As a group this means that they contain increasing volumes of personal and business data. This creates escalating vulnerabilities as information is aggregated by various agencies. These vulnerabilities include identity theft and fraud. The threat environment of small business is extensive with both technical and human vulnerabilities. The problem is that the small business environment is being encouraged to adopt e-commerce by the government yet lacks resources in securing its cyber activity. This paper analysed the threats to this situation and found that questions of responsibility by individual businesses and the government …

What Are You Looking For: Identification Of Remnant Communication Artefacts In Physical Memory, Matthew Simon, Jill Slay

International Cyber Resilience conference

Law enforcement has sound methods for investigating and obtaining data about targets that are using traditional communication services such as the Public Switched Telephone Network. The Internet as a data transfer medium is a vastly different paradigm to that of traditional telephony networks. Information about targets using Internet communication technologies cannot be obtained using the same methods used for traditional communication. There has been an identified need for methods to obtain information on targets that have been using Internet communication methods. The acquisition and analysis of physical memory has been proposed as a vector for the recovery of such information. …

Tracing Vnc And Rdp Protocol Artefacts On Windows Mobile And Windows Smartphone For Forensic Purpose, Paresh Kerai

International Cyber Resilience conference

Remote access is the means of acquiring access to a computer or network remotely or from distance. It is typically achieved through the internet which connects people, corporate offices and telecommuters to the internal network of organizations or individuals. In recent years there has been a greater adoption of remote desktop applications that help administrators to configure and repair computers remotely over the network. However, this technology has also benefited cyber criminals. For example they can connect to computers remotely and perform illegal activity over the network. This research will focus on Windows mobile phones and the Paraben forensics software …

Entanglement Generation With A Quantum Channel And A Shared State, Mark M. Wilde, Min Hsiu Hsieh

Faculty Publications

We introduce a new protocol, the channel-state coding protocol, to quantum Shannon theory. This protocol generates entanglement between a sender and receiver by coding for a noisy quantum channel with the aid of a noisy shared state. The mother and father protocols arise as special cases of the channel-state coding protocol, where the channel is noiseless or the state is a noiseless maximally entangled state, respectively. The channel-state coding protocol paves the way for formulating entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting codes that are robust to noise in shared entanglement. Finally, the channel-state coding protocol leads to a Smith-Yard superactivation, where we can …

Convolutional Entanglement Distillation, Mark M. Wilde, Hari Krovi, Todd A. Brun

Faculty Publications

We develop a theory of entanglement distillation that exploits a convolutional coding structure. We provide a method for converting an arbitrary classical binary or quaternary convolutional code into a convolutional entanglement distillation protocol. The yield and error-correcting properties of such a protocol depend respectively on the rate and error-correcting properties of the imported classical convolutional code. In a con-volutional entanglement distillation protocol, two parties sharing noisy ebits can distill noiseless ebits "online" as they acquire more noisy ebits and this online protocol reduces decoding complexity. © 2010 IEEE.

Which Organisational Model Meets Best Practice Criterion For Critical Infrastructure Providers: An Examination Of The Australian Perspective Based On Case Studies, Andrew Woodward, Craig Valli

International Cyber Resilience conference

While it is recognised that there must be segregation between corporate and process control networks in order to achieve a higher level of security, there is evidence that this is not occurring. Computer and network vulnerability assessments were carried out on three Australian critical infrastructure providers to determine their level of security. The security measures implemented by each organisation have been mapped against best practice recommendations for achieving segregation between process control and corporate networks. One of the organisations used a model which provided a dedicated information security team for provision of security for the process control networks. One of …
