Studiens syfte var att ta reda på vilka strategier lärare som använder en Montessori-inspirerad pedagogik anser stimulerar och utmanar högpresterande elever i matematik samt om de upplevde några svårigheter eller problem med att undervisa högpresterande elever i matematik. För att undersöka det har sex kvalitativa intervjuer genomförts med lärare som har varit eller som är verksamma i årskurserna 1-3. Resultatet av intervjuerna visar att lärarna har en gemensam uppfattning om att en Montessori-inspirerad pedagogik utmanar och stimulerar högpresterande elever i matematik eftersom grundtanken i Montessori-pedagogiken är "eleven i centrum". Det här innebär att lärarna måste utgå från varje elevs förutsättningar, behov och aktuella kunskapsnivå. I resultatet framkommer också att lärarna använder sig av olika strategier i form av matematikbok från en högre årskurs, special- och fördjupningsområden, åldersintegrering och lärande med flera sinnen för att stimulera och utmana de högpresterande eleverna matematiskt. Det framgår också i resultatet att lärarna inte upplever några större problem eller svårigheter i undervisningen av högpresterande elever i matematik. De belyser ändå att den egna matematiska kompetensen, tidsbrist och eget kontrollbehov ibland kan utgöra hinder för att stimulera och utmana de högpresterande eleverna tillräckligt. Utifrån studien kan man dra slutsatserna att lärare som använder en Montessori-inspirerad pedagogik lägger stor vikt vid att hitta rätt strategi för rätt elev, vilket bidrar till att de högpresterande eleverna får utmaning och stimulans. De olika hindren som lärarna belyser skulle kunna minskas med fortbildning och samarbete mellan årskurserna.
The evolution in networking coupled with an increasing demand to improve user experience has led to different proposals to extend the standard TCP. Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is one such extension that has the potential to overcome few inherent limitations in the standard TCP. While MPTCP's design and deployment progresses, most of the focus has been on its compatibility. The security aspect is confined to making sure that the MPTCP protocol itself offers the same security level as the standard TCP.
The topic of this thesis is to investigate the unexpected security implications raised by using MPTCP in the traditional networking environment. The Internet of today has security middle-boxes that perform traffic analysis to detect intrusions and attacks. Such middle-boxes make use of different assumptions about the traffic, e.g., traffic from a single connection always arrives along the same path. This along with many other assumptions may not be true anymore with the advent of MPTCP as traffic can be fragmented and sent over multiple paths simultaneously.
We investigate how practical it is to evade a security middle-box by fragmenting and sending traffic across multiple paths using MPTCP. Realistic attack traffic is used to evaluate such attacks against Snort IDS to show that these attacks are feasible. We then go on to propose possible solutions to detect such attacks and implement them in an MPTCP proxy. The proxy aims to extend the MPTCP performance advantages to servers that only support standard TCP, while ensuring that intrusions can be detected as before. Finally, we investigate the potential MPTCP scenario where security middle-boxes only have access to some of the traffic. We propose and implement an algorithm to perform intrusion detection in such situations and achieve a nearly 90% detection accuracy. Another contribution of this work is a tool, that converts IDS rules into equivalent attack traffic to automate the evaluation of a middle-box.
This paper proposes a methodology consisting of a constrained version of the Levenshtein distance that can be used to detect signatures from partial traffic. The proposed algorithm is formally presented, implemented, and tested using the latest available version of the Snort ruleset. The results show that the algorithm can successfully detect all partial signatures with nearly 90% accuracy.
As technology becomes ubiquitous, new vulnerabilities are being discovered at a rapid rate. Security experts continuously find ways to detect attempts to exploit those vulnerabilities. The outcome is an extremely large and complex rule set used by Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) to detect and prevent the vulnerabilities. The rule sets have become so large that it seems infeasible to verify their precision or identify overlapping rules. This work proposes a methodology consisting of a set of tools that will make rule management easier.
Signature-based intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are commonly utilized in enterprise networks to detect and possibly block a wide variety of attacks. Their application in industrial control systems (ICSs) is also growing rapidly as modem ICSs increasingly use open standard protocols instead of proprietary. Due to an ever changing threat landscape, the rulesets used by these IDSs have grown large and there is no way to verify their precision or accuracy. Such broad and non-optimized rulesets lead to false positives and an unnecessary burden on the IDS, resulting in possible degradation of the security. This work proposes a methodology consisting of a set of tools to help optimize the IDS rulesets and make rule management easier. The work also provides attack traffic data that is expected to benefit the task of IDS assessment.
The existing network security infrastructure is not ready for future protocols such as Multipath TCP (MPTCP). The outcome is that middleboxes are configured to block such protocols. This paper studies the security risk that arises if future protocols are used over unaware infrastructures. In particular, the practicality and severity of cross-path fragmentation attacks utilizing MPTCP against the signature-matching capability of the Snort intrusion detection system (IDS) is investigated. Results reveal that the attack is realistic and opens the possibility to evade any signature-based IDS. To mitigate the attack, a solution is also proposed in the form of the MPTCP Linker tool. The work outlines the importance of MPTCP support in future network security middleboxes.
Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is a proposed extension to TCP that enables a number of performance advantages that have not been offered before. While the protocol specification is close to being finalized, there still remain some unaddressed challenges regarding the deployment and security implications of the protocol. This work attempts to tackle some of these concerns by proposing and implementing MPTCP aware security services and deploying them inside a proof of concept MPTCP proxy. The aim is to enable hosts, even those without native MPTCP support, to securely benefit from the MPTCP performance advantages. Our evaluations show that the security services that are implemented enable proper intrusion detection and prevention to thwart potential attacks as well as threshold rules to prevent denial of service (DoS) attacks.
Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is an extension to traditionalTCP that enables a number of performance advantages,which were not offered before. While the protocol specificationis close to being finalized, there still remain some concernsregarding deployability and security. This paper describes theon going work to develop a solution that will facilitate thedeployment of MPTCP. The solution will not only allow non-MPTCP capable end-hosts to benefit from MPTCP performancegains, but also help ease the network security concerns that manymiddleboxes face due to the possibility of data stream beingfragmented across multiple subflows.
Wireless local area networks (WLANs) deployment is increasing rapidly. At the same time, WLANs have become an attractive target for many potential attackers. In spite of that, the de facto standard used to implement most WLANs (IEEE 802.11) has what appear to be residual vulnerabilities related to identity spoofing. In this paper, a pragmatic study of two common attacks on the standard is conducted. These attacks are then implemented on test beds to learn attack behavior. Finally, novel attack signatures and techniques to detect these attacks are devised and implemented in a proof of concept Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS).
Information-centric networking (ICN) has been introduced as a potential future networking architecture. ICN promises an architecture that makes information independent from lo- cation, application, storage, and transportation. Still, it is not without challenges. Notably, there are several outstanding issues regarding congestion control: Since ICN is more or less oblivious to the location of information, it opens up for a single application flow to have several sources, something which blurs the notion of transport flows, and makes it very difficult to employ traditional end-to-end congestion control schemes in these networks. Instead, ICN networks often make use of hop-by-hop congestion control schemes. How- ever, these schemes are also tainted with problems, e.g., several of the proposed ICN congestion controls assume fixed link capacities that are known beforehand. Since this seldom is the case, this paper evaluates the consequences in terms of latency, throughput, and link usage, variable link capacities have on a hop-by-hop congestion control scheme, such as the one employed by the Multipath-aware ICN Rate-based Congestion Control (MIRCC). The evaluation was carried out in the OMNeT++ simulator, and demonstrates how seemingly small variations in link capacity significantly deterio- rate both latency and throughput, and often result in inefficient network link usage.
We prove the large time behavior of solutions to a coupled thermo-diffusion arising in the modeling of the motion of hot colloidal particles in porous media. Additionally, we also ensure the uniqueness of solutions of the target problem. The main mathematical difficulty is due to the presence in the right-hand side of the equations of products between temperature and concentration gradients. Such terms mimic the so-called thermodynamic Soret and Dufour effects. These are cross-coupling terms emphasizing in this context a strong interplay between heat conduction and molecular diffusion.
The use of machine learning and specifically neural networks is a growing trend in software development, and has grown immensely in the last couple of years in the light of an increasing need to handle big data and large information flows. Machine learning has a broad area of application, such as human-computer interaction, predicting stock prices, real-time translation, and self driving vehicles. Large companies such as Microsoft and Google have already implemented machine learning in some of their commercial products such as their search engines, and their intelligent personal assistants Cortana and Google Assistant.
The main goal of this project was to evaluate the two deep learning frameworks Google TensorFlow and Microsoft CNTK, primarily based on their performance in the training time of neural networks. We chose to use the third-party API Keras instead of TensorFlow's own API when working with TensorFlow. CNTK was found to perform better in regards of training time compared to TensorFlow with Keras as frontend. Even though CNTK performed better on the benchmarking tests, we found Keras with TensorFlow as backend to be much easier and more intuitive to work with. In addition, CNTKs underlying implementation of the machine learning algorithms and functions differ from that of the literature and of other frameworks. Therefore, if we had to choose a framework to continue working in, we would choose Keras with TensorFlow as backend, even though the performance is less compared to CNTK.
This paper summarises the results of a workshop at the IFIP Summer School 2015 introducing the EU Horizon 2020 project PRISMACLOUD, that is, Privacy and Security Maintaining Services in the Cloud. The contributions of this summary are three-fold. Firstly, it provides an overview to the PRISMACLOUD cryptographic tools and use-case scenarios that were presented as part of this workshop. Secondly, it distills the discussion results of parallel focus groups. Thirdly, it summarises a ``Deep Dive on Crypto'' session that offered technical information on the new tools. Overall, the workshop aimed at outlining application scenarios and eliciting end-user requirements for PRISMACLOUD.
In this paper, we discuss end user requirements that we elicited for the use of malleable signatures in a Cloud-based eHealth scenario. The concept of a malleable signature, which is a privacy enhancing cryptographic scheme that enables the redaction of personal information from signed documents while preserving the validity of the signature, might be counter- intuitive to end users as its functionality does not correspond to the one of a traditional signature scheme. A qualitative study via a series of semi-structured interviews and focus groups has been conducted to understand stakeholders' opinions and concerns in regards to the possible applications of malleable signatures in the eHealth area, where a medical record is first digitally signed by a doctor and later redacted by the patient in the cloud. Results from this study yielded user requirements such as the need for suitable metaphors and guidelines, usable templates, and clear redaction policies.
This demo presents the MONROE distributed platform and how it can be used to implement measurement and assessment experiments with operational mobile broadband networks (MBBs). MONROE provides registered experimenters with open access to hundreds of nodes, distributed over several European countries and equipped with multiple MBB connections, and a backend system that collects the measurement results. Experiments are scheduled through a user-friendly web client, with no need to directly access the nodes. The platform further embeds tools for real-time traffic flow analysis and a powerful visualization tool.
Mobile broadband (MBB) networks underpin numerous vital operations of the society and are arguably becoming the most important piece of the communications infrastructure. In this demo paper, our goal is to showcase the potential of a novel multi-homed MBB platform for measuring, monitoring and assessing the performance of MBB services in an objective manner. Our platform, MONROE, is composed of hundreds of nodes scattered over four European countries and a backend system that collects the measurement results. Through a user-friendly web client, the experimenters can schedule and deploy their experiments. The platform further embeds traffic analysis tools for real-time traffic flow analysis and a powerful visualization tool.
The Cauchy-Schwarz (C-S) inequality is one of the most famous inequalities in mathematics. In this survey article, we first give a brief history of the inequality. Afterward, we present the C-S inequality for inner product spaces. Focusing on operator inequalities, we then review some significant recent developments of the C-S inequality and its reverses for Hilbert space operators and elements of Hilbert C*-modules. In particular, we pay special attention to an operator Wielandt inequality.
Mifare Classic is a very popular near-field communication technology that provides a shared-key, access-controlled, storage. Although the authentication protocol of Mifare Classic is compromised since half a decade, systems are still being deployed based on this technology, e.g. for access control systems and for public transport ticketing. By using commodity hardware, such as NFC enabled smartphones, by passing the security measures in some cases only require the installation and operation of a smartphone app. To this end, we present case studies of a number of recent Mifare Classic systems deployed during the last year, to serve as an illustration of practical security problems and to raise awareness thereof among NFC technology buyers and system implementors.
The existence of excessively large and too filled network buffers, known as bufferbloat, has recently gained attention as a major performance problem for delay-sensitive applications. One important network scenario where bufferbloat may occur is cellular networks.
This paper investigates the interaction between TCP congestion control and buffering in cellular networks. Extensive measurements have been performed in commercial 3G, 3.5G and 4G cellular networks, with a mix of long and short TCP flows using the CUBIC, NewReno and Westwood+ congestion control algorithms. The results show that the completion times of short flows increase significantly when concurrent long flow traffic is introduced. This is caused by increased buffer occupancy from the long flows. In addition, for 3G and 3.5G the completion times are shown to depend significantly on the congestion control algorithms used for the background flows, with CUBIC leading to significantly larger completion times.
In this study I want to illustrate how teachers describe their preventions and interventions when teaching students with low achievement in mathematics. This is a qualitative study based on a series of group interviews of teachers in the Swedish compulsory school. Mathematics teachers still hold a traditional compensatory perspective on students with low achievement thus placing the responsibility for learning with the students. The general opinion is that special pedagogics is necessary to enable support enough to help students with low achievement in mathematics to reach a passing grade. Thanks to further training, primarily through "Matematiklyftet", the view on the possibility to include low achieving students in the classroom in a good way is more positive. There is an ongoing work in schools to improve the mathematics teaching, but one cannot see a complete or common plan for the schools neither from the school administration nor the teachers. The preventive measures made to include the low achieving students does have a positive effect for all students. Much of the implemented changes have its origin in talking mathematics in the classroom and not following the textbook as slavishly as previously done.
Existing censorship measurement platforms frequentlysuffer from poor adoption, insufficient geographic coverage, and scalability problems. In order to outline ananalytical framework and data collection needs for futureubiquitous measurements initiatives, we build on top ofthe existent and widely-deployed RIPE Atlas platform.In particular, we propose methods for monitoring thereachability of vital services through an algorithm thatbalances timeliness, diversity, and cost. We then use Atlas to investigate blocking events in Turkey and Russia.Our measurements identify under-examined forms of interference and provide evidence of cooperation betweena well-known blogging platform and government authorities for purposes of blocking hosted content.
The problem addressed concerns the determination of the average numberof successive attempts of guessing a word of a certain length consisting of letters withgiven probabilities of occurrence. Both first- and second-order approximations to a naturallanguage are considered. The guessing strategy used is guessing words in decreasing orderof probability. When word and alphabet sizes are large, approximations are necessary inorder to estimate the number of guesses. Several kinds of approximations are discusseddemonstrating moderate requirements regarding both memory and central processing unit(CPU) time. When considering realistic sizes of alphabets and words (100), the numberof guesses can be estimated within minutes with reasonable accuracy (a few percent) andmay therefore constitute an alternative to, e.g., various entropy expressions. For manyprobability distributions, the density of the logarithm of probability products is close to anormal distribution. For those cases, it is possible to derive an analytical expression for theaverage number of guesses. The proportion of guesses needed on average compared to thetotal number decreases almost exponentially with the word length. The leading term in anasymptotic expansion can be used to estimate the number of guesses for large word lengths.Comparisons with analytical lower bounds and entropy expressions are also provided.
In the Swedish school the textbook is seen as a central teaching material in mathematics. In many classrooms individual, silent work in the textbook is particularly common during mathematics lessons. Silent work is often a large part of the lesson, although research shows that the teaching of mathematics should include variation and communication and that the pupils should at an early age be given the opportunity to understand the relation between mathematics and daily life.The teacher has a central role in choosing which teaching material are best suited for each teaching situation and each individual pupil. The teacher is also supposed to adapt instruction to individual's ability in a way that enhances the pupil´s curiosity, thus contributing to an increased inner motivation.The aim of this study was to get teachers' perspective on textbooks. In school mathematic the textbook is a common teaching material and because of that there were a questions about how well the textbook actually lives up to the teachers' needs.The chosen method was both qualitative and quantitative. A survey was sent out to mathematics teachers in grade 1-3. A simple survey with a reduced number of predetermined answers was supposed to attract many teachers to answer them. Unfortunately there was low participation among the respondents, which made it difficult to answer the research questions. As a complement a more in-depth survey was sent out to only a few respondents. The two different surveys were coordinated in the analysis.The result showed that teachers in mathematics in year 1-3 often use a textbook. A big part of them believe the textbook is a motivating factor for the pupils, and that younger pupils like to work with their textbook. The results also showed that there is a difference of opinion as to whether or not the textbook itself gives good opportunities to adaptive instruction, as well as concerning. How well it is aligned with their own understanding of the required knowledge goals for class 3. All teachers see their own teaching as varied and that the communicative aspect of the subject is important. The results also showed that the teachers that work without textbooks don't see any advantages with it, except as a help for their own planning.The conclusion is that the textbook is an important teaching material, not least as a support in one's own planning.Teachers in class 1-3 believe themselves to have a varied mathematics pedagogy and also that they have motivated pupils. The teachers agree on the importance to anchor mathematics in daily life since it is always there, around us.
A general approach to Monte Carlo methods for Coulomb collisions is proposed. Its key idea is an approximation of Landau-Fokker-Planck (LFP) equations by Boltzmann equations of quasi-Maxwellian kind. High-frequency fields are included into consideration and comparison with the well-known results are given.
Digital tools are getting increasingly widespread in our everyday lives as well as in school. How-ever, according to the national agency for education in Sweden, digital tools are rarely used to develop the mathematics education. With a survey, I investigated how teachers integrate digital tools in mathematics education and if the teachers' perceived knowledge affects the integration in some way. With help from the TPACK framework I analyzed the results from 97 respondents. The results showed that teachers who experience good knowledge tend to vary their teaching using digital tools more than teachers who appreciated their skills as inadequate. The most common area of use for digital tools in mathematics is skills training, class review and visual-ization. The study suggests that there is a need for education in how to use digital tools in the education in order to be able to integrate digital tools in a favorable manner.
We study the weak solvability of a system of coupled Allen–Cahn-like equations resembling cross-diffusion which arises as a model for the consolidation of saturated porous media. Besides using energy-like estimates, we cast the special structure of the system in the framework of the Leray–Schauder fixed-point principle and ensure in this way the local existence of strong solutions to a regularized version of our system. Furthermore, weak convergence techniques ensure the existence of weak solutions to the original consolidation problem. The uniqueness of global-in-time solutions is guaranteed in a particular case. Moreover, we use a finite difference scheme to show the negativity of the vector of solutions.
Mobile wireless networks constitute an indispensable part of the global Internet, and with TCP the dominating transport protocol on the Internet, it is vital that TCP works equally well over these networks as over wired ones. This paper identifies the performance dependencies by analyzing the responsiveness of TCP NewReno and TCP CUBIC when subject to bandwidth variations related to movements in different directions. The presented evaluation complements previous studies on 4G mobile networks in two important ways: It primarily focuses on the behavior of the TCP congestion control in medium- to high-velocity mobility scenarios, and it not only considers the current 4G mobile networks, but also low latency configurations that move towards the overall potential delays in 5G networks. The paper suggests that while both CUBIC and NewReno give similar goodput in scenarios where the radio channel continuously degrades, CUBIC gives a significantly better goodput in scenarios where the radio channel quality continuously increases. This is due to CUBIC probing more aggressively for additional bandwidth. Important for the design of 5G networks, the obtained results also demonstrate that very low latencies are capable of equalizing the goodput performance of different congestion control algorithms. Only in low latency scenarios that combine both large fluctuations of available bandwidths and a mobility pattern in which the radio channel quality continuously increases can some performance differences be noticed.
Mobile internet usage has significantly raised over the last decade and it is expected to grow to almost 4 billion users by 2020. Even after the great effort dedicated to the improvement of the performance, there still exist unresolved questions and problems regarding the interaction between TCP and mobile broadband technologies such as LTE. This chapter collects the behavior of distinct TCP implementation under various network conditions in different LTE deployments including to which extent the performance of TCP is capable of adapting to the rapid variability of mobile networks under different network loads, with distinct flow types, during start-up phase and in mobile scenarios at different speeds. Loss-based algorithms tend to completely fill the queue, creating huge standing queues and inducing packet losses both under stillness and mobility circumstances. On the other side delay-based variants are capable of limiting the standing queue size and decreasing the amount of packets that are dropped in the eNodeB, but they are not able under some circumstances to reach the maximum capacity. Similarly, under mobility in which the radio conditions are more challenging for TCP, the loss-based TCP implementations offer better throughput and are able to better utilize available resources than the delay-based variants do. Finally, CUBIC under highly variable circumstances usually enters congestion avoidance phase prematurely, provoking a slower and longer start-up phase due to the use of Hybrid Slow-Start mechanism. Therefore, CUBIC is unable to efficiently utilize radio resources during shorter transmission sessions.
Nowadays, more than two billion people uses the mobile internet, and it is expected to rise to almost 4 billion by 2020. Still, there is a gap in the understanding of how TCP and its many variants work over LTE. To this end, this paper evaluates the extent to which five common TCP variants, CUBIC, NewReno, Westwood+, Illinois, and CAIA Delay Gradient (CDG), are able to utilise available radio resources under hard conditions, such as during start-up and in mobile scenarios at different speeds. The paper suggests that CUBIC, due to its Hybrid Slow- Start mechanism, enters congestion avoidance prematurely, and thus experiences a prolonged start-up phase, and is unable to efficiently utilise radio resources during shorter transmission sessions. Still, CUBIC, Illinois and NewReno, i.e., the loss-based TCP implementations, offer better throughput, and are able to better utilise available resources during mobility than Westwood+ and CDG – the delay-based variants do.
The purpose of the study was to find out how teachers in a school in Kenya conducted the education of mathematics in standard 4-6. The focus was how the teachers worked with children in need of special support in mathematics.To find out the purpose a case study was made with two interviews and seven observations with four teachers on a rural school in Kenya. The following issues were: Which standards were there in the classrooms during lessons in mathematics in Kenya? How did the teachers express the view of children in need of special support? The main conclusion was that different teachers teaching in mathematics looked the same.The teacher was standing in front of the blackboard where the teaching occurred and the pupils were sitting lined up in their benches. The teaching of the pupils was about repetition and imitates the teacher and mostly filling the gap that the teacher made them say. Pupils in need of special support got their help through extra lessons and homework but the teachers thought that it was hard to help every child when there was only one teacher in the classroom.
We determine the exceptional sets of hypergeometric functions corresponding to the(2, 4, 6) triangle group by relating them to values of certain quaternionic modular formsat CM points. We prove a result on the number fields generated by exceptional values, and by using modular polynomials we explicitly compute some examples.
A central component of managing risks in cloud computing is to understand the nature of security threats. The relevance of security concerns are evidenced by the efforts from both the academic community and technological organizations such as NIST, ENISA and CSA, to investigate security threats and vulnerabilities related to cloud systems. Provisioning secure virtual networks (SVNs) in a multi-tenant environment is a fundamental aspect to ensure trust in public cloud systems and to encourage their adoption. However, comparing existing SVN-oriented solutions is a difficult task due to the lack of studies summarizing the main concerns of network virtualization and providing a comprehensive list of threats those solutions should cover. To address this issue, this paper presents a threat classification for cloud networking, describing threat categories and attack scenarios that should be taken into account when designing, comparing, or categorizing solutions. The classification is based o n the CSA threat report, building upon studies and surveys from the specialized literature to extend the CSA list of threats and to allow a more detailed analysis of cloud network virtualization issues.
We obtain a new variational characterization of the Sobolev space $W_p^1(\Omega)$ (where $\Omega\subseteq\R^n$ and $p>n$). This is a generalization of a classical result of F. Riesz. We also consider some related results.
Some new limit cases of Hardy-type inequalities are proved, discussed and compared. In particular, some new refinements of Bennett's inequalities are proved. Each of these refined inequalities contain two constants, and both constants are in fact sharp. The technique in the proofs is new and based on some convexity arguments of independent interest.
The generalized functionals of Merentes type generate a scale of spaces connecting the class of functions of bounded second p -variation with the Sobolev space of functions with p-integrable second derivative. We prove some limiting relations for these functionals as well as sharp estimates in terms of the fractional modulus of order 2−1/p . These results extend the results in Lind (Math Inequal Appl 16:2139, 2013) for functions of bounded variation but are not consequence of the last.
Network virtualization is seen as an enabling technology for the Future Internet. In this context, many Virtual Network Embedding algorithms have been introduced in literature so far. This paper discusses an open source framework for the evaluation of such algorithms. The paper describes features provided by the framework, how to use the framework for evaluating these algorithms, and how to extend the software with respect to novel algorithms and simulation scenarios. Lessons learned are presented, describing how the software evolved towards a mature and highly extensible simulation framework.
Access control policies describe high level requirements for access control systems. Access control rule sets ideally trans-late these policies into a coherent and manageable collectionof Allow/Deny rules. Designing rule sets that reflect desired policies is a difficult and time-consuming task. The result is that rule sets are difficult to understand and manage. The goal of this paper is to provide means for obtaining usable access control rule sets, which we define as rule sets that (i) reflect the access control policy and (ii) are easy to understand and manage. In this paper, we formally define the challenges that users face when generating usable access control rule sets and provide formal tools to handle them more easily. We started our research with a pilot study in which specialists were interviewed. The objective was to list usability challenges regarding the management of access control rule sets and verify how those challenges were handled by specialists. The results of the pilot study were compared and combined with results from related work and refined into six novel, formally defined metrics that are used to measure the security and usability aspects of access control rule sets. We validated our findings with two user studies, which demonstrate that our metrics help users generate statistically significant better rule sets.
Predicting the expected throughput of TCP is important for several aspects such as e.g. determining handover criteria for future multihomed mobile nodes or determining the expected throughput of a given MPTCP subflow for load-balancing reasons. However, this is challenging due to time varying behavior of the underlying network characteristics. In this paper, we present a genetic-algorithm-based prediction model for estimating TCP throughput values. Our approach tries to find the best matching combination of mathematical functions that approximate a given time series that accounts for the TCP throughput samples using genetic algorithm. Based on collected historical datapoints about measured TCP throughput samples, our algorithm estimates expected throughput over time. We evaluate the quality of the prediction using different selection and diversity strategies for creating new chromosomes. Also, we explore the use of different fitness functions in order to evaluate the goodness of a chromosome. The goal is to show how different tuning on the genetic algorithm may have an impact on the prediction. Using extensive simulations over several TCP throughput traces, we find that the genetic algorithm successfully finds reasonable matching mathematical functions that allow to describe the TCP sampled throughput values with good fidelity. We also explore the effectiveness of predicting time series throughput samples for a given prediction horizon and estimate the prediction error and confidence.
Xamarin, a cross-platform development framework, was used in this project for the development of a proof-of-concept mobile client application for an existing intranet solution. The intranet consists of Microsoft SharePoint components and is a pre-assembled product produced by the requestor of this project; Sogeti. To fetch the intranet's data, a web API was implemented as an intermediary between the mobile application and the intranet. The Xamarin application targets three different mobile platforms including iOS, Android and Universal Windows Platform, and since Xamarin allows for shared logic between different operating systems, this approach was adopted to the greatest extent possible. However, during the development of the project several problems were encountered that prompted platform-specific implementations. For example, the user authentication process needed to be implemented in a platform-specific manner in the client application and some parts of the graphical user interface needed to be adapted to each individual platform as well. Even though the development of the applications was not completely finished, four out of seven of the original requirements set forth by Sogeti at the beginning of the project were achieved. These fulfilled requirements include, among other functionality, the implementation of displaying news articles and attention messages from a user's specific intranet solution. Overall, the project was found to be successful, especially with regard to evaluating how well Xamarin and cross-platform development works with these kinds of mobile applications.

I love this E-liquid. The description is very accurate. It is very hard to describe. It is sweet, but not overly so. It reminds me of maybe a candy...
when im wanting a sweet flavor, this is the best ive ever tried. smooth, sweet, and satisfiying. definitly a flavor i would buy over and over.
this juice is not that bad...try it..its sweet but not overly sweet..good vapor an also throat hit..

Ok, I know this is not new and I think I remember it happening to someone else !!
I noticed that one of the reversing lights was not working when my wife reversed up the drive.
So I thought a bulb had blown, but the bulb has actually unplugged itself and is now sitting in the light housing laughing at me as I look at it.
Been in the car for about 30 mins now with a piece of wire coat hanger and bit of blue tack, but no joy !!!
Anyone have any fantastic ideas, or do I have to just live with it rattling around ?

The film explores how a team of top filmmakers, including Sidney Bernstein, Richard Crossman and Alfred Hitchcock, came together to make a film to provide undeniable evidence of what the Allies found, but the film was stopped in its tracks by the British Government and only now 70 years on, has it been completed. Each new generation deserves access to this evidence.

"It is tough but compelling viewing. Singer's take is unflinching"The TimesKate Muir
"It is difficult to imagine that there'll be a more important film this year. Don't miss it"The Irish TimesTara Brady

"An impressively sober, thoughtful documentary"The ObserverMark Kermode
"An informative and sensitive work of film history"The Sunday TimesEdward Porter
"Night Will Fall isn't simply a film about the war, it documents the power of emerging technologies to reveal and publicise war crimes - something that also feels acutely relevant today"
The Daily TelegraphAnna Smith
"The film pieces together the complex whirlwinds of bureaucracy and political pragmatism that blew away a docu-project whose like the world had never seen"
Financial TimesNigel Andrews
"A moving and utterly fascinating history lesson"
Daily ExpressAllan Hunter
"A weighty reminder of an awful past which even today some people still either deny or belittle as propaganda."
London Evening StandardDerek Malcolm
"Night Will Fall...fights against forgetting this Holocaust happened in our lifetime, and if we fail to heed the message behind those haunting pictures, it will fall again, and again, and again"

"Night Will Fall reminds us that we need to make a change before it's too late. Otherwise, like the cameramen in Bergen-Belsen, who knows what we will find in the aftermath"
Flickering MythSimon Columb
"A harrowing but necessary insight into what the first Allied troops met as they stumbled upon the nightmare of the Holocaust"
CineVueDaniel Green
"This stuff is heart-stopping, and absolutely compelling"
The ListHannah McGill
"Night Will Fall coincides with the release of the originally-intended film, German Concentration Camps Factual Survey, but it is a masterpiece unto itself. Rather than explaining and recalling the events, Night Will Fall highlights the importance of film. Akin to diaries of photographers and journalists in war zones, Night Will Fall is unflinching in its intention to hold onto the mistakes we made, so that we learn from it."
Flickering MythSimon Columb
"Clearly a work of passion and scholarship, it is both time capsule and teaching tool.... Powerful, must-see documentary"
VarietyAlissa Simon
"The camera lens gives an unadulterated, harrowing insight into the reality of the concentration camps and what it meant to liberate them... This is not a film solely about the Jewish community, but about what it means to be human"
The UpcomingCinzia Leonard
A remarkable and often harrowing documentary that interweaves horrific footage of Allied Forces liberating Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45 with a Hollywood twist involving Alfred Hitchcock and Billy Wilder, Night Will Fall is a must-see documentary likely to feature strongly on the festival circuit as well as benefit from a series of high-profile platform releases.
Screen DailyMark Adams, Chief Film Critic
"An eye-opener... A masterfully constructed look at an obscure chapter of Holocaust history... 'Night Will Fall' proves a riveting, devastating, heartbreaking and deeply important film, one that you will likely never forget."
Los Angeles TimesGary Goldstein
"...detailed documentary, explains the events, both historic and prosaic... It was Alfred Hitchcock, a supervising director during editing, who suggested using panning shots to capture the extent of the murder and how it was subsequently witnessed by local German communities – he wanted to make deniability impossible."

- The Holocaust film that was too shocking to show: Guardian Feature
In 1945, overseen by Alfred Hitchcock, a crack team of British film-makers went to Germany to document the horror of the concentration camps. Despite being hailed as a masterpiece, the film was never shown. Now, in a documentary called Night Will Fall, the full story of its creation and suppression is being told.
By Stuart Jeffries
- The most powerful Holocaust film you've never seen is this lost Hitchcock documentary: Quartz feature
For someone who was born more than four decades after the Holocaust, I have seen my share of horrifying, gut-wrenching, and heart-breaking footage from or about Nazi concentration camps. I've watched these documentaries and propaganda films in class, at the US Holocaust Museum, at Yad Vashem in Israel, at the Berlin Jewish Museum, and at several locations in Poland. I've worked on a film that describes the atrocities—in fact, I spent half of my life in Warsaw, where the memory of World War II lingers to this day. But I have never been as affected by any film as I was by the "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey," a propaganda picture made in 1945, and shelved for 70 years.By Hanna Kozlowska

A New Approach to Discover Students Learning Styles in Adaptive Educational Systems
Personalization according to specific requirements of an individual student is one of the most important features inadaptive educational systems. Considering learning and how to improve a student's performance, these systems mustknow the way in which an individual student learns best. In this context, the current work outlines a new approach toautomatically and dynamically discover students learning styles, considering its non-deterministic and non-stationaryaspects, and taking into account that learning styles may change during the learning process in an unexpected andunpredictable way. Our approach is mainly based in genetic algorithms and reinforcement learning, and it has beentested through computer simulation of students. Promising results have been obtained through experiments. Someof them are presented in this paper.

"Such a cute idea. I love making and giving these wonderful towels. This pattern is very well written. Very heavy duty towel that will hold up to many washings. The video isn't in English, but extremely easy to follow."
"This is a super easy and inexpensive craft to make for fall or Halloween and safe enough that even a child can make them. Great for a classroom decoration or even your house. Just uses some foam pumpkins,paint and glitter or just use paint. This would also be a great weekend project for a group of kids or slumber party. Easy tutorial. Thanks."
"I'd like to know the name of the pattern / stitch, I'm part of a forum for knit and crochet doers and I've no doubt they will ask what is it. Also if you could tell what multiple of sts it is it would be helpful. This blanket is simply gorgeous."
"I am definitely going to make this wreath. I haven't decided what colors I want to use, so I am going to the dollar store first to see what they have. Then I will gather up my craft store coupons and buy the wreath form and any other ornament colors I am missing. Right now I am thinking silver and hot pink and turquoise if those colors are available."

Clover Puff Quilting Clip Set
(Small and Large)
Gifted by Clover
Reviewed by Maria Nerius, FaveCrafts.com Resident Craft Expert
This tool set makes it much easier to create puff quilt creations. The set includes 4 clips, template set which is the top and base, plus bar and syringe. The finished size of the puff for the large template is approximately 2 3/8" and for the small template it is approximately 1 9/16". You mark with the template, create the pleats for the puff with your clips, then sew, then stuff. The packaging comes with complete instructions and some really cool options for the finished puff.
The pieces are very well made and sturdy to use. I loved that the packaging included so many wonderful ideas for this technique from a baby quilt to pin cushion. You can buy additional puff quilting clips separately from the sets. Visit the Clover web site for additional ideas and all product information.

Austria is a catholic land and today we had a public holiday. I used it for a trip to Burgenland, where in the quarry of Sankt Margarethen, one of the biggest and oldest in Europe, every summer an opera festival takes place. This year they show Verdi's "Nabucco", yesterday evening I saw it, and I was utterly impressed. It's a fantastic production and more than worth seeing.
But that's not the only thing to see in Sankt Margarethen. The quarry is used by sculptors and their works are liberally scattered all over the place. This is one of those sculptures on a hill a little east of the quarry and overlooking Burgenland's big lake Neusiedler See.
Nick Cave has given us four Songs of the Day so far, and today we have another one: "Rock Of Gibraltar", a love song with a twist, from his 2003 album "Nocturama".
3 Responses to "306 – The Rock That Would Never Falter"
just…..a w e s o m e……
Are there any relics of the people's of Austria before Christianity? Are there any antecedents in those ancient, what Celtic? relics to the great architecture of the Catholic period? This sculpture looks somewhat lke the relics of the Machu Pichu, or the strange Irish carvings. It even has an oriental feel.
Nice capture.
Not very much. Christianity has done a great job :/
Basically you find those things on the fringes of Europe, but not in the center. Another explanation is, that in Austria wood was the main building material, and wood does not survive as easily 🙂

The reviews for Kong: Skull Islandhave been mostly positive and we'll finally get to see the MonsterVerse movie for ourselves this Thursday. Now, yet another trailer has been released and this one puts the spotlight on some pretty incredible looking action sequences as the King unleashes his might on the unsuspecting visitors to his home (and the other monstrous beasts that inhabit it).
Also below is a Mondo poster for Kong: Skull Island by comic book artist Francesco Francavilla. You'll no doubt recognise his work from various posters and titles like Detective Comics and Black Panther, and as per usual, a limited number of them will be going on sale at a random time this coming Friday.
The impressive cast of Kong: Skull Island includes Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, Brie Larson, John Goodman, and John C. Reilly, and it's currently set to be released worldwide on March 10th, 2017.

PTS thanks area director for 40 years service
Published: 14 January, 2011
UK: After entering the industry at 15 years of age and reaching many incredible milestones, area director Tom McArdle is celebrating an impressive 40 years with PTS and The BSS Group.
Mr McArdle first started his career straight from school to work for J & B Labone in Liverpool as branch assistant. He progressed to operations manager for Pennine area. In 1992, J & B Labone was acquired by The BSS Group plc, PTS' parent Company.
Mr McArdle has a number of achievements to be proud of, including the opening of PTS Salford back in 1993, which is still the biggest branch in the merchant's network of 320. Mr McArdle's work was integral to winning a major contract with British Gas and so he became responsible for the whole team as the British Gas key account director.
Mr McArdle is now PTS area director for the North West Area and has even made his job a family affair with both his sons also working for PTS in different capacities. Commenting on his career to date, Mr McArdle said: "I'm extremely proud to have been with the BSS Group throughout my career as they have always been at the forefront of the heating and plumbing industry.
"I've been fortunate to work with some great people who've supported me every step of the way. Working with colleagues over a number of years and watching them progress and flourish has always been an incredibly rewarding part of my job. This industry is a great one to work in as there are new challenges every day and I'm looking forward to tackling some more in the years to come."

Nigerian female-to-male transgender and his wife, meet LLCoolJ and Magic Johnson
Nigerian female-to-male transgender and his wife, meet LLCoolJ and Magic Johnson
Two days ago, Dr Rizi Xavier Timane and his wife and Hollywood actress, Christina Ross, met with basketball and rap legends, Magic Johnson and LLCoolJ, at a fundraising event in L.A, and they shared lovely pictures taken at the event.
Dr Timane is a female-to-male transgender singer, actor and trans-specialist coach who advocates for transgender rights. He was born and raised in Nigeria. He realized at age 8 that he was a boy living in a girl's body and approached his parents about this dilemma.
His parents, converts to fundamentalist Christianity, responded with attempted exorcisms and other reparative therapies that sought to "pray the trans away."
This rejection and disapproval carried over to the community-at-large as well as peers at school making him the victim of bullying and harassment driving him to years of alcohol and drug abuse and suicidal ideation. .
. After enduring many years of being told that God/Source was opposed to him being LGBT and undergoing numerous exorcisms to pray the trans away, Rizi embarked on a spiritual journey to discover where he really stood with God or Source.
After many years of studying religion, the Bible and attending seminary at the Claremont School of Theology, Rizi was delighted to realize that God/Source is accepting of all people, LGBT persons included. Thankfully, Rizi is now 10 years free from alcohol abuse and 12 years clean from using drugs.

Course 10805A: Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Search for Application Developers
Module 1: Processing Data Sources
This module describes the logical and physical components of the crawl architecture and the query architecture for the search system in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. The new components enable more redundancy within the server farm and each of the crawl components and query components can be scaled out separately based on the needs of the organization.
Microsoft has chosen PowerShell as the scripting language for its' Enterprise software. The SharePoint Management Shell in SharePoint Server 2010 provides an extensive set of Windows PowerShell cmdlets that make development, deployment, and administration of SharePoint 2010 easier and more efficient.
Understanding how to crawl content is important because, before end-users can use the enterprise search functionality in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, you will crawl or federate the content that you want to make available for users to search.
Lesson 1: Search Architecture
Lesson 2: SharePoint Management Shell
Lesson 3: Crawling Content
Lab : Crawling Content
Exercise 1: Test Drive Windows PowerShell
Exercise 2: Crawl SharePoint Sites and File Shares

Identify search components and explain the SharePoint Search architecture.
Effectively work with the SharePoint 2010 PowerShell Management shell. Configure and crawl content sources.
Module 2: Configuring Search Sites
This module describes the enhanced Keyword Syntax of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 for search. This enhanced syntax now supports both Wildcards and Boolean Operators, all of which help a user find what they are looking for in a more direct and efficient manner.
In the second lesson of this module, you are introduced to the components that make up a search site. Understanding how to configure and modify this site is important for you, the SharePoint administrator, since your users will use this site to search across crawled and federated data.
The final lesion of this module continues and in-depth look at the specialized web parts for a search site, in particular the "Search Core", "Search Statistics", "Web Analytics", and "Best Bets" web parts. Additionally a close look at "Filter Categories" used to filter the contents of a web part. All of these pieces and processes are designed to enhance the search site user's experience.
Lesson 1: Keyword Syntax
Lesson 2: Introducing the Search Site
Lesson 3: Search Web Parts
Lab : Configuring a Basic Search Site
Exercise 1: Building a Basic Search Site
After completing this module, you should be able to:
Construct queries using the SharePoint 2010 Keyword Syntax.
Layout a search site and work with the search web parts.
Customize search web parts.
Module 3: Configuring Federation
This module describes how to use and configure Federated search. With Federated search you can display search results for content that is not crawled by your search server. The query can be performed over the local content index, or it can be forwarded to an external content repository where it is processed by that repository's search engine. The repository's search engine then returns the results to the search server. The search server formats and renders the results from the external repository within the same search results page as the results from the search server's own content index. The use of Federation allows the search administrator to introduce content from selected sites to enhance the user experience.
Lesson 1: Federated Search Basics
Lesson 2: Creating New Federated Locations
Lesson 3: Adding Metadata to a Federated Location
Lesson 4: Security Options
Lab : Configuring Federated Web Parts

Module 4: Scopes and Managed Metadata
This module will cover two common search site extensions Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Search Scopes and Managed Metadata.
A search scope defines a subset of information in the search index. Users can select a search scope to restrict search results to the subset of information. Typically, search scopes encompass specific topics or content sources that are important and common to users in the organization. For example, you can create a search scope for all items related to a specific project or for all items related to a specific group in the organization, such as finance or marketing. You can also create a search scope that encompasses several other scopes.
Managed metadata is a hierarchical collection of centrally managed terms that you can define, and then use as attributes for items in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 (for example, Search Scopes).
Lesson 1: SharePoint Search Scopes
Lesson 2: Managed Metadata
Lab : Scopes and Managed Metadata

Module 6: Federated Object Model
This module examines the Federated and Query Object Models. All web parts are now built on the Federated Object Model. A federated search is the simultaneous querying of multiple online databases (locations) for the purpose of generating a single search results page for end users.
When you add a federated location to Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, end users can search for and retrieve content that has not been crawled by your server. Federated locations allow queries to be sent to remote search engines and feeds, after which SharePoint Server 2010 formats and renders the results to your end users as part of your crawled content.
In the lab you will create a search web part associated with a Federated Location.
Lesson 1: Overview
Lesson 2: Scenario Walk Through
Lab : Federated Search
Exercise 1: Federated Object Model
After completing this module, you will be able to:
Explain the difference between the Federated Object Model and the Query Object Model and identify things to consider when using the Federated Object Model.

Chew/Revival #1 (Comics Review)
Image Comics has so many ongoings and mini-series in production at any given time that it is really hard to stick with all of them, unless you read only Image I guess, in which case it might be better for you. I only read a very small handful of titles, and mostly ones I really like, so I have some leeway, though I read all across the spectrum from most of the major publishers, so I can't accommodate as many different series as I'd like in my weekly reading. Still, when I hear news of special issues and/or one-shots, then my curiosity is always piqued, and I just have to give them a chance.
With this past week's Chew/Revival #1, a one-shot apparently, we get one such comic. This one is apparently a crossover between the Chew and the Revival series, and I have to say, this was pretty damn rocking. Tony Chu, Dana Cybpress and Ibrahaim Ramin are all fantastic characters and I loved every moment of this issue. The humour is ever-present and that really sells the whole thing, especially the half done by the Chew time, and I find Tony's particular skills to be quite unique. On the flipside, all the goings-on of the Revival team in their own story are pretty damn fun too. One of the best comics I've read for sure!
Both issues are basically the first meeting between Tony Chu from Chew and Dan and Ibrahaim from Revival. I'm sort of unclear on why we are essentially getting the same plot from two different teams, but there are lots of differences that make it all worth it. And above everything, writers John Layman and Tim Seeley are always at the top of their game here with their writing, and I just loved what they did. Given his recent work on DC's Detective Comics, I'm a fan of John Layman's work, and as for Tim Seeley, his work is slowly growing on me, so he isn't far behind on that list either. Honestly, I can say that if I'd had any idea previously that these characters were so much damn fun and interesting, then I would be reading Chew and Revival as ongoings rather than this one-shot crossover being my first experience.
The best part of both issues is when Dan and Ibrahaim realise just what Tony's cibopathy skills entail and all the jokes that can be made about all of that. He gets impressions of where a piece of food has been and its ingredients from just a bite, and so being called in on a Revival case means that he ends up consuming some, well, sort-of necrotic remains. The setup in both stories for this small subplot is awesome in part because of the reactions of the characters around Tony, and also because of his own reaction. I think I'm sort of in love with Tony as a character.
Dan and Ibrahaim are also equally impressive as well, especially once we are in the Revival half of the story and then Tim Seeley basically runs with them all the way to the finish line and he doesn't look back. Which is just fine and dandy with me really.
Above everything, what matters is that the characterisation of all these characters is consistent and it works well with each other in that they are played off each other quite admirably. They also complement well, so that's another thing since this is kind of a mystery/thriller comic, albeit one with lots of humour packed in as well, and that's just fine with me too.
The first half, the Chew half, is drawn by Rob Guillory, coloured by Taylor Wells and lettered by John Layman himself. The second half, the Revival half, is drawn by Mike Norton, coloured by Mark Englert and lettered by Crank! And Jenny Frison provides the excellent covers for both halves of the comic. The art teams in both halves are at the top of their game it feels like. The mood and tone are captured well, and the characters are also posed realistic and there's no art-y silliness or anything here. Just the humour, and that plays out perfectly. As good as the writing is, the art is just as good and that was a huge relief since this issue was indeed a gamble for me.
But now, now I can't wait to get my hands on the first trades for each comic series and get more familiar with all these characters.
