Secret Communications in the Pysical Layer --- Impact of Training and Limited Channel State Information
Friday, October 31, 2014Y.-W. Peter Hong
Host: Prof. Bhaskar Rao
Due to the broadcast nature of the wireless medium, secrecy considerations have become increasingly important in the design of wireless communication systems. In addition to conventional cryptography-based approaches, information-theoretic studies on physical layer secrecy have demonstrated the possibility of achieving confidentiality solely through coding and signal processing techniques. However, many of these studies rely on perfect knowledge of the channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter and/or the receiver, which is not attainable in practice. In this talk, I will describe our recent studies on the impact of training and limited channel state information (CSI) on the achievable secrecy rate. First, I will talk about the impact of quantized channel feedback on the achievable secrecy rate. By considering the artificial noise assisted beamforming system, I will discuss the secrecy rate loss caused by quantized channel direction information and show the scaling of the numbe [More...]

March 12, 2013
By Evan Lockridge
New Hampshire is the latest among many states that are looking at raising fuel taxes.
Legislation that's received initial approval in the House would increase the state's fuel tax by 15 cents a gallon. It would be phased in over six years for diesel and over four years for gasoline.
The last time New Hampshire increased its fuel tax was in 1991. Currently the fuel tax in the state, including federal taxes, is 44 cents per gallon for diesel and 38 cents for gasoline.
The legislation, which initially passed, mainly along party lines, with 192 Democrats and 15 Republicans voting for it while 10 Democrats and 153 Republicans voted against it, may likely see a greater challenge if it makes it to the Republican controlled New Hampshire Senate.
Some Senate opponents say the bill would be dead upon arrival.
Supporters say the increase is needed to repair roads and bridges as well as complete a widening project along I-93 in the southern part of New Hampshire. However, opponents say the proposed increase in the fuel tax places too heavy a burden on residents and businesses.
We offer e-newsletters that deliver targeted news and information for the entire fleet industry.

shame about scar symmety. this fool's got too many projects goin on.
This is marginally better.
Digging: Renounced - The Melancholy We Ache
I can dig Solution .45, and I can dig STUDIO new Scar Symmetry. Scar Symmetry live now makes Fall Out Boy (I'd say R.I.P., but I don't mean it) look like Il Divo.
Also, back on topic, Solution .45 is Scar Symmetry 2.0 (with added awesome!).
I've been wondering about this band, thans for the update. Song's pretty good, I was hoping they'd take more advantage of their keyboardist though, he's really good.
Double post, oops...
i'll give it a listen soon, but i doubt it will top symmetric in design. that shit was heavy. the only way SS ever should have been. holographic was only good because of how varied the songs were
It's like the Scar Symmetry that was never aborted
never liked aborted much. can you suggest one of their better albums? i've only heard slaughter and apparatus
I think he was referring to their current music as an equivalent of an abortion.
i know, but the question still stands. and actually them being an abortion would make them sound awesome
The most br00tal band evar! But f'realz, check out Aborted's newest album (the name escapes me), I remember it being pretty sick. Also, check out System Divide, I'm almost positive it's got one of their singers in it.
you mean coronary reconstruction? k thanks
good cleans, good screams, good guitaring.

Greg, I've been trying to find the exact county in VA where James B. George and William Mattison George resided before I find them in Ray Co., MO 1850. Do these names mean anything to you? There are three George families in 1850 Ray Co., MO: William George, Warren George, and Susannah (wife of James B.) with their families. I'm trying to find out what Co. in VA they came from -- all born around 1813-1818 time period.

Does Gender Shape the War System and Vice Versa?
Contemporary perceptions of combatants underline how the masculine–aggressive and feminine–passive nexus still lies at the heart of gender and the war system.

As a mode of thinking, 'Utopia' is a crucial part of Green political thought and a mark of its distinctiveness.
From popular culture in India, we can identify examples of the strategic deployment of women's agency. Discussions of agency are necessary for feminist resistance.
Certain trends in American foreign policy can be better understood when seen as framed by the context of interactions with Native Americans
For secession, the balance of rights, despite a shift towards a more 'liberal' international law in recent years, should remain in the favour of (just) sovereign states.
Although Pacific Asia seems to be progressing toward Sinocentrism, it is unlikely to return to such a state.
Le Pen has effectively established an unbreakable rapport with her electorate to evolve a radical-right party on the fringes into a mainstream electoral menace.
The framing of immigration in Italian media takes a security, military or economic shape. This problematically 'others' & delegitimises those immigrants.
Neo-liberalism in the self-proclaimed guise of an eutopia allows violence against other utopias, thus validating the very concerns espoused by classical liberal scholars.
Taking Turkey and Egypt as two conflicting examples, the issue of whether the state precedes the nation is illuminated in its multi-varied and complex nature.
Greater flexibility, vulnerability, and uncertainty differentiate constitutional supremacy in non-Western countries such as Turkey and India from Western nations.
The profane demands of Arab postmodernity did not reject the general idea of modernisation; they safeguarded a universal sense of amelioration and emancipation.

A muscular man with a shaved head is sitting naked in the grass looking at a dirty magazine and pulling his pud. With his cock in his fist he jerks off his shaft and cries out as he shoots his jiz all over his legs. Wearing only a baseball cap and sitting on a rock, a man with glasses doesn't even need anything to look at in order to become aroused. He uses his imagination as he stares at the outdoor scenery and plays with his hard cock. In only a pair of boxers with abs of steel, he stumbles across a skin magazine so he sits back to enjoy the pages and jerk himself off, watering a plant with his spunk.

WHITLEY COUNTY — In preparation for the upcoming winter season, a roundtable discussion was held Thursday at the Whitley County Government Center concerning transportation in the county during extreme winter weather.
Question: Concerning the Mid-Term Election Republican Wave...
May. 9, 1951 — Nov. 12, 2014
Beverly Elaine Ruse, 63, of rural South Whitley, died at 9:25 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2014 at Peabody Home in North Manchester where she had been a resident since July.
She was born May 9, 1951 in Muncie, a daughter of Orville and Opal (Howell) Breedlove. As a little girl, her family moved to North Webster. She attended North Webster High School.
On April 4, 1968, she was united in marriage to Walter A. Ruse. They made their home in Pierceton until 1972 when they moved to their home southwest of South Whitley.

WHITLEY COUNTY — Thursday morning brought a light dusting of snow to Whitley County, and as many know, it won't be the last snow of the year.
With potential for accumulation this weekend and a long winter to come, Whitley County's Emergency Management Agency Director Charlie Heflin is doing some extra preparation for the winter season by assembling a winter response team.

FIVE DAYS TO DANCERafa Molés, Pepe Andreu
Spain (2014)
77 minutes
VO in Spanish, English, German, Basque
Two dancers show up one morning in the classroom of a high school. It's Monday and they announce to a group of teenagers that they have five days to get on a stage and dance. One week to change things. A tight deadline for a big challenge: to move people when the world is paralyzing us.
The dancing forces these teenagers to break their roles right at that time in their lives when social roles are being built. The leader is no longer the most admired, the shy one takes a step ahead… Dancing forces them to touch each other. They communicate, they become equals. Some won't free themselves until the last moment.
Wilfried Van Poppel and Amaya Lubeigt are the choreographers. He's Dutch, she's Basque. Dance is their common language. The place doesn't matter. Five days, a class of teenagers, a microcosm where a big bang takes place.more

I worked at RealManage full-timePros
The pay was very competitive.Cons
There is a very clear disconnect between the corporate office and the field offices. The corporate office did not fully understand the ins and outs of managing HOA's, however they set mandates that individual association managers in the field offices had to abide by. Association managers, thus, felt like errand boys/girls, not able to actually manage their associations. HOA's require flexibility, and RM corporate did not provide that flexibility. It was no wonder so many associations chose to do business elsewhere. The turnover in both associations and employees was unreal.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Hire credentialed managers, then trust them to do their jobs. That will be the key to your success. Stop with the micromanaging, or the good managers, like myself, will leave.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

Excellent technology. Senior Mangement and executives listen when you have conversations with them. Training is limitless. You look for it and the information as to how to do your job and you can become a vital part of the organization.Cons
Needs more PTO and better health insurance.
RealManage trains and retrains but some people do not get their job functions. Almost waiting too long to terminate an employee. By the time a year comes around then more damage is done rather than good. It is a fine line and RealManage does do the best that they can.Advice to ManagementAdvice

There are some really great people inside of this company, and the benefits are decent.Cons
There are four areas that concern most people regarding any given employer:
1 - Hours worked
2 - Working environment
3 - Salary
4 - Ability to contribute to the company's success and be recognized for it.
Due to some outstanding (but lower-level) staff, and generally clean and presentable work areas, RealManage gets a small bump for Working Environment.
This is quickly balanced out by the apparent sweatshop mentality. The serious take (rather than tongue-in-cheek) is that the floggings will stop when morale improves. When brought to their attention, some of the responses from mid- to senior-management levels run from laughable to prosecutable.
"This isn't a 40-hour a week job." should be posted over every doorway.
Fine, then pay me the 80-hour a week salary in accordance with my workload, time, and travel commitments. Crickets, until they can find a way to flog you again.
Salary is below industry standard. They contend that the benefits package makes up the difference. This might be the case, if working 40 hours, and if you had the ability to make a doctor's appointment without having your job threatened.
Thanks, but a manager at McD's does better, in fewer hours, with less hassle.
Travel, food, lodging, or taking a client out to lunch? Yeah, that comes out of your own pocket, until they can reimburse you. Granted, the turnaround is good, but average pay is under $40k, and after paying bills & gas, there's not that much leftover for entertaining clients. Need to fly out to corporate headquarters for a mandatory conference? That comes out of your pocket too, until that expense report catches up. A corporate credit card is definitely called for, but they contend that it's an unnecessary perk.
If you contribute more, their idea of a reward is... more work! Seriously! I was offered a 100-hour a week workload as incentive for increased performance. Needless to say, I passed on that one.
During one extreme circumstance, I worked a very long day, even by their standards. The following day, rather than being comped or flex time, I had to take a sick day.
Despite outstanding contributions, and a team of people I would hire for my own company in a heartbeat for their ability, talent, work ethic, and demeanor, the corporate response was again, downright laughable through prosecutable.
There are almost no opportunities for advancement, in title, salary, or any other compensation. If a position opens up immediately above yours, and you are overwhelmingly qualified, experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated, and they know it... you'll have a new boss making at least twice as much who knows nothing, and you'll be forced to clean up their messes.
Senior management is aware, but apparently they just prefer it this way.
Your thanks will be having your job threatened.
There aren't enough words in the thesaurus to describe how pitifully horrid my experience was, and how heavily I recommend avoiding this company.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Sadly, upper management is well aware of the situation - these issues start at the top. However, my advice is to the investors. This is obviously a "sick company", and a wise investor knows when to hold 'em, and knows when to fold 'em. Given the situation, I wouldn't be surprised when the lawsuits start flying, and I hope they have either the foresight to intervene, or to completely eliminate their exposure.Doesn't RecommendNegative Outlook

They pretend to the outside world that all is good when many employees are treated poorly and some clients are watching the calendar for the day when their contract ends which makes life hard for the employees dealing with those clients
Senior and executive management have mostly not ever done any of the jobs that deal with the client on a regular basis or attended board or annual meetings, etc.
Many errors are made on client and homeowner accounts which takes months or years to correct sometimesAdvice to ManagementAdvice
The board of directors should consider replacing all senior and executive management starting with some of the people at the director level and up. People that have actually done the job of managing an HOA portfolio should be put in place. They need to stop buying other management companies in an effort to grow theirs until they can manage the clients they have in a positive manner with better outcomes.

Headspace Analysis of Philippine Civet Coffee Beans Using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and Electronic Nose
ABSTRACT Civet coffee, the most expensive and best coffee in the world, is an economically important export product of the Philippines. With a growing threat of food adulteration and counterfeiting, a need for quality authentication is essential to protect the integrity and strong market value of Philippine civet coffee. At present, there is no internationally accepted method of verifying whether a bean is an authentic civet coffee. This study presented a practical and promising approach to identify and establish the headspace qualitative profile of Philippine civet coffee using electronic nose (E-nose) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). E-nose analysis revealed that aroma characteristic is one of the most important quality indicators of civet coffee. The findings were supported by GC-MS analysis. Principal component analysis (PCA) exhibited a clearly separated civet coffees from their control beans. The chromatographic fingerprints indicated that civet coffees differed with their control beans in terms of composition and concentration of individual volatile constituents.

Article: Composition and properties of Indonesian palm civet coffee (Kopi Luwak) and Ethiopian civet coffee[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This research paper reports on the findings of the first scientific investigation into the various physicochemical properties of the palm civet (Kopi Luwak coffee bean) from Indonesia and their comparison to the first African civet coffee beans collected in Ethiopia in eastern Africa. Examination of the palm civet (Kopi Luwak) and African civet coffee beans indicate that major physical differences exist between them especially with regards to their overall color. All civet coffee beans appear to possess a higher level of red color hue and being overall darker in color than their control counterparts. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that all civet coffee beans possessed surface micro-pitting (as viewed at 10,000× magnification) caused by the action of gastric juices and digestive enzymes during digestion. Large deformation mechanical rheology testing revealed that civet coffee beans were in fact harder and more brittle in nature than their control counterparts indicating that gestive juices were entering into the beans and modifying the micro-structural properties of these beans. SDS–PAGE also supported this observation by revealing that proteolytic enzymes were penetrating into all the civet beans and causing substantial breakdown of storage proteins. Differences were noted in the types of subunits which were most susceptible to proteolysis between civet types and therefore lead to differences in maillard browning products and therefore flavor and aroma profiles. This was confirmed by electronic nose analysis which revealed differences between the palm civet coffee (Kopi Luwak) and African civet coffee aroma profiles. Analytical techniques for the authentification of palm civet (Kopi Luwak) and African civet coffee are also explored. It would appear that SDS–PAGE may serve as the most reasonable and reliable test to help confirm the authenticity of civet coffee. Electronic nose data was able to distinguish both civet coffees from their control counterparts and further indicated that processing through the civets gastro-intestinal track substantially modified these coffees.Food Research International - FOOD RES INT. 01/2004; 37(9):901-912.
Article: Interactions between volatile and nonvolatile coffee components. 2. Mechanistic study focused on volatile thiols.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study is the second of two publications that investigate the interactions between volatile and nonvolatile components in coffee brew. The purpose here was to shed some light into the chemical mechanisms responsible for the decrease of volatile thiols when in contact with coffee nonvolatiles. A mixture of volatile thiols covering a large range of physicochemical properties was monitored over time in the presence of a coffee brew model. The binding potential was estimated by SPME-GC-MS. Additives inhibiting specific reaction pathways were preincubated with the coffee brew 1 h prior to addition of the volatile compounds. Degradation kinetics of the volatile thiols were characterized by their rate constants k(obs). The effect of individual additives was shown by calculating k(rel), the relative rate constant as compared to the reference without additive. The conclusion was that thiols, mainly responsible for the "roasty" and "burnt" notes, disappear via two main chemical mechanisms. The results suggest that nucleophilic addition is the major pathway for thiol degradation. Addition occurs on oxidized species generated in the matrix in the presence of air. This mechanism prevails for aliphatic thiols (e.g., ethanethiol, methanethiol). Benzylic thiols (such as 2-furfurylthiol) can react in parallel via another pathway that is slowed in the absence of oxygen and in the presence of a radical scavenger. This points to a radical mechanism, but further work is needed to support this hypothesis. A direct correlation between thiol hydrophobicity and the magnitude of the interactions was shown as well. Therefore, weak physical interactions or hydrophobic assistance accelerating chemical reactions cannot be excluded at this point of the study.Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 07/2005; 53(11):4426-33. · 3.11 Impact Factor

1. Introduction
Civet coffee is the top most expensive coffee in the world [1]. It is made from coffee cherries, which
have been eaten and passed through the digestive tract of Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus

hermaphroditus). Civets naturally select and consume the ripest and sweetest coffee cherries whereby the
undigested inner beans are excreted.The unique aroma and flavor quality of civet coffee has been
associated to the breaking down of proteins during civet digestion [2]. The increasing popularity and
appreciation of civet coffee and its limited annual supply could possibly lead to the occurrence of
adulterated and fraudulent civet coffee beans in the market. It is therefore important to discriminate civet
coffee from non-civet coffee. At present, there is no internationally accepted method of verifying whether
a bean is civet coffee. Traditionally, coffee aroma has been used to characterize coffee quality. The
volatile compounds in coffee contribute greatly to its overall aroma quality [3].
Sensory panel evaluation is commonly used to assess the aroma profile of coffee. However, this
technique has some drawbacks such as the difficulty to train the panel effectively in order to limit
subjectivity of human response to odors and the variability between individuals [4]. The emergence of an
electronic nose (E-nose) for the discrimination of odors has become attractive and useful to the food
industry because of its ease of use, versatility, and broad range of applications [5]. Similarly, the
application of GCMS in coffee analysis has proven to be a valuable technique to characterize the volatile
compounds responsible for the aroma quality of coffee [6]. In this work, E-nose and GCMS analysis of
Philippine civet coffee were carried out for the first time to determine the potential of the instruments to
discriminate civet coffees with their control coffee beans (not eaten by civet). Chemometric analysis was
applied to visually display the similarities and distinction between civet and control coffee beans.
2. Experimental
2.1 Coffee Samples and Instruments
Four different commercial brands of Philippine coffees were analyzed. Three coffees (civet and
control) were taken from Northern part of Luzon (Kalinga, Asipulo, and Cordillera) and one from
southern part of the Philippines (Matutum, South Cotabato). The coffee samples were Arabica (Cordillera
and Matutum) and Robusta (Asipulo and Kalinga) varieties.
The Electronic Olfactory System, EOS835 was manufactured by Sacmi Imola scarl, Italy [7]. E-nose
analysis was carried out using six metal oxide (MOX) sensors whose characteristics and fabrication
parameters are shown in Table 1. Headspace generation was held at 40 °C for 10 min with 1 min shaking.
Then, 2 ml volume was extracted and injected into carrier line at 50 °C with injection speed of 4 ml/min.

3. Results and Discussion
The responses of the MOX sensors to the coffee samples varied greatly. A comprehensive view of the
PCA score plot of the E-nose data is illustrated in Figure 1 and the dendrogram graph is shown in Figure
2. Chemometric analysis through principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis reveals
groupings that differentiate civet and non-civet (control) coffee. The discrimination indicates that the
headspace vapor, and therefore the aroma of each civet coffee is different from their corresponding
control coffee beans. The distinct data structure of the individual civet coffee shows that the passage of
the beans through the digestive tract of civet affects the aroma attributes of coffee [2].
Fig. 1. E-nose PCA plot of civet and control coffee beans. Fig. 2. Dendrogram of civet and control coffee beans.
Data obtained from gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GCMS) indicates the presence of at least
47 major components (Figure 3) in the headspace of civet and non-civet (control) coffees. It was observed
that the composition of volatile compounds in civet coffee is almost similar to their controls but of
different concentrations. PCA plot (Figure 4) of prominent coffee volatiles exhibits a good classification
between civet and control coffee beans. The separation in the GCMS-PCA plot between civet and control
coffees is complementary with the E-nose results. Chemometric discrimination of civet from non-civet
coffee reveals that the aroma characteristic is one of the most important quality indicators of civet coffee.

The integration of E-nose and GCMS data of the PCA plot shown in Figure 5 reveals a good
correlation between aroma quality and coffee volatiles of civet coffee considering that individual civet
Page 4
980 E. Ongo et al. / Procedia Engineering 47 ( 2012 ) 977 – 980
coffee was successfully discriminated with its control beans. Cluster separation among civet coffees
suggested that the aroma quality of civet coffee is region-specific. Results provide proof that E-nose is a
promising and practical tool in evaluating the authenticity of civet coffee.
Fig. 5. PCA plot of E-nose and GCMS data for civet and control coffee beans.
5. Conclusion
E-nose (EOS835) has proven to be useful in discriminating the aroma quality of Philippine civet
coffee. The finding was supported by the differences between the relative GCMS traces of the different
coffees. Chemometric analysis through PCA and cluster analysis demonstrated groupings that
differentiate civet and non-civet coffee. Results revealed that aroma characteristic is one of the most
important quality indicators of civet coffee. The unique aroma quality of civet coffee can be attributed to
the intestinal digestive process of civet. The cluster separation among civet coffee samples indicated that
varietal and geographical origins dictate the aroma variations in coffee. Thus, it can be concluded that the
aroma characteristics of civet coffee is varietal and region-specific. This remarkable performance
provides proof that E-nose can be used in discriminating the authentic aroma quality of civet coffee.

Abstract: Mannose binding lectin (MBL) activates complement pathway that leads to pathogen opsonization and phagocytosis. MBL deficiency is linked to HIV transmission and disease progression. We sought to determine the role of MBL in HIV encephalitis (HIVE) by evaluating its presence and distribution in the HIV-1-infected brain and by assessing its association with monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) expression. This retrospective study utilized archived post-mortem brain tissues obtained from 35 individuals enrolled in a longitudinal study as part of the California NeuroAIDS Tissue Network. MBL, MCP-1 and brain cell markers in post-mortem brain tissues with or without HIVE were evaluated using immunocytochemistry, immunofluorescence, confocal microscopy, and western blots. MBL was expressed in neurons, astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes of the frontal cortex of the HIV-1-infected brain. Overall, there were 30% to 40% more MBL-positive brain cells in HIVE vs non-HIVE cases (P = 0.01, paired t-test). Specifically, there was an increased MBL expression in the neuronal axons of HIVE cases. Also, western blots showed 3- to 4-fold higher levels of 78 kD MBL trimers in HIVE vs non-HIVE cases. This MBL-HIVE link was further confirmed by MBL associated higher MCP-1 expression in HIVE vs non-HIVE cases. HIV negative healthy individuals and normal or the gp120 transgenic mice did not show any differential MBL expression. Increased MBL expression in the major brain cell types, specifically in the neuronal axons of HIVE brain, and MBL associated higher MCP-1 expression in HIVE suggest that MBL could cause neuroinflammation and neuronal injury through MBL complement activation pathway.
