Distributed firewalls have been developed to maintain the networks with a higher level of protection than conventional firewalling mechanisms like gateway and host-based fire-walls. even though distributed firewalls provide higher secu-rity, they too have boundaries. Toovercome those limitations we presenting the design & implementation of a new distrib-uted firewall model, based on stateful Cluster Security Gateway (CSG) architecture[1]. This distributed security model are implemented in bottom-up approach means each cluster of end-user hosts are secured first using the CSG architecture. These different CSGs are then centrally man-aged by the Network Administrator. A file-based firewall update mechanism is used for dynamic real- time security. IPsec protocol is used to secure the firewall policy update distribution while X.509 certificates cater for sender/receiver authentication. The major advantage of this approach is to distributed security include tamper resistance, anti-spoofing, anti-sniffing, secure up to date firewall updating, low overall network load, high scalability and low firewall junction times.

IDHS is a new NICHD-funded data integration project that lowers the barriers to cross-temporal and cross-country research using the Demographic and Health Surveys, focusing initially on Africa and India. IDHS recodes data consistently across samples without losing detail, displays variable availability at a glance, offers variable-specific documentation (including question universes and wording and discussion of comparability issues), and merges files on the fly to create customized data extracts. This presentation will summarize MPC’s approach to integrating microdata, with examples from IDHS, describe the value-added features of IDHS, and summarize future plans for IDHS. At the time of the presentation, IDHS will include data on women of childbearing age, their households, and children under 5, from 18 countries and 77 samples.
GDB is a debugger program used to test and debug other programs. It allows the user to step through a program line-by-line, set breakpoints, view variable values and more. Some key features of GDB include setting breakpoints, running and stepping through code, viewing variable values and stack traces. GDB can also be used for remote debugging where the program runs on one machine and GDB runs on another, connected machine. It has a command line interface and common commands include run, break, next, print and quit.
This document provides an overview of various communication theories and concepts covered in the course. It includes sections on symbolic interactionism, social penetration theory, relational dialectics, functional perspectives on groups, cultivation theory, cultural studies, and theories of gendered communication. Each section lists key related concepts and theories. The document serves as a study guide, mapping out the broad terrain of concepts and theories examined in the class.

The role of the warm up is to get students ready to learn by capturing their attention and reviewing essential information.
In this paper we are study-ing about cloud computing, their types, need to use cloud computing. We also study the architecture of the mobile cloud computing. So we included new techniques for backup and restoring data from mobile to cloud. Here we proposed to apply some compres-sion technique while backup and restore data from Smartphone to cloud and cloud to the Smartphone.
This document proposes a mobile interface to allow citizens to efficiently register complaints with their local municipal corporation. It aims to improve citizen participation by making the complaint registration process easier, cheaper and available 24/7 through mobile phones. The proposed system uses natural language processing to interpret complaint texts submitted via SMS and extract necessary details like location and type of issue. It then submits this data to the existing municipal web portal to generate a complaint number, providing citizens a simple way to register and track complaints from their mobile devices. The system was tested to handle both complete complaints requiring no follow up, and incomplete ones needing clarification through interactive menus. This mobile approach could boost citizen involvement by leveraging high mobile phone penetration rates.
This document discusses several communication and social theories including symbolic interactionism, expectancy violations theory, social penetration theory, uncertainty reduction theory, relational dialectics, organizational culture theory, cultural studies, communication accommodation theory, face negotiation theory, and how they relate to gender differences and group decision making. Theories on social convergence, constructivism, the functional perspective, and information processing are also referenced in the overview of communication concepts.

Sharing Promising Practices Internally and Externally: Lessons Learned from PCIAPLICwebmaster
In this session, Janine Schooley, PCI Senior Vice President, Programs, demonstrates how Project Concern International’s ‘Leveraging Knowledge’ and related strategic directions have utilized various approaches such as Chatter, InnovAtion, and regional workshops this past year to share promising practices and lessons learned both internally and externally for optimal efficiency, effectiveness, thought leadership, and performance.
In distributed database systems, data does not re-side in one single location, it may be stored in mul-tiple computers, located in the same physical loca-tion; or may be disseminated over a network of in-terlinked computers. Distributed databases can amend the performance at end-user worksites by allowing transactions to be processed on many ma-chines, instead of being limited to one. These transactions may impose troubles like deadlock. This paper makes an attempt to detect deadlock in homogeneous distributed database systems i.e; lo-cal transactions using process termination method.
The document discusses HINARI, a WHO portal that provides access to full-text biomedical and health literature for institutions in developing countries.

Presentation by Katrina Pescador
The San Diego Air & Space Museum houses one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of aerospace related materials in the world. The collection includes books, documents, films, photos, periodicals, manuals, drawings, and other archival materials. Over the past several years, the Museum has reviewed and revised its processes for cataloging, organizing, and digitizing these collections, as well as improving connectivity. The Museum adopted national cataloging standards and practice, insured consistency for the various types of materials, developed digitizing standards and procedures, and made other changes to improve both productivity and efficiency. The digitization project allows for greater public access to the collection and assures the materials will be preserved for future use. By making these resources more accessible to researchers through a variety of online services, digitization has dramatically enhanced worldwide awareness of the Museum’s collection.

Overview
When you think of “data visualization” what is the very first thing that comes to mind? For many, it’s bar graphs, pie charts, and histograms, or maybe some combination thereof. You’re not wrong – but it’s so much more than that. The era of pie and bar charts has come and gone; these traditional visualizations alone are insufficient. Now is the time of data visualized on a rich canvas. A canvas that not only informs, but immerses you in information in much the same way that your favourite book immerses you in its narrative.
Objective
When attendees leave, that they walk away with an understanding of how development, design and data are strongly intertwined with one other. When aligned with customers needs, these aspects create a meaningful and actionable experience.
Target Audience
Designers and developers interested furthering their appetite for visualization
Five Things Audience Members Will Learn
How data visualization can lead to data exploration
Creating an experience with information
New models of data visualization
Telling a story through data
How to blend design and development through data visualization
-Research competitors in the space and what’s currently available
-Listen and look for what users are doing.
- Insight - Iterate: take ideas I’ve uncovered and design a wireframe and a prototype that would solve a problem
-Test the prototype with users and look at what they like and where they struggle
-Explain it to clients and the public

Experience Mapping Workshop Interaction South America 2014John Labriola
The document outlines an experience mapping workshop technique for understanding user journeys. It discusses defining experience maps, prepping for the workshop, gathering data from users, building the map by identifying lenses, stages, behaviors and insights, and visualizing the map. The workshop is broken into sections, includes activities, and discusses using the finalized map to identify opportunities and drive consensus around users and products. The goal is to tell a rich story of users' experiences through this collaborative design process.
This method was developed by the ParCos project, which received EU Horizon 2020 funding. The document introduces a set of "Curator Cards" that provide principles for curating scientific data to tell stories and make the data easier to reuse. The cards suggest approaches like making a comic strip, timeline, conducting a mini-experiment, or writing a news article to engage people with data in an interactive way. The steps involve reflecting on the intended audience and story, selecting a card approach, brainstorming alternatives, and finding more information from the ParCos project.
The Curator Cards present a set of principles that
support the visualisation of data for participatory
science storytelling.
The Curator Cards can help decide which (aspects
of a) dataset are relevant to provide evidence for
a scientific story and which formats to choose to
communicate to which audience.

This document outlines six lessons for news organizations:
1. Most consumers get news from multiple platforms and sources, not just one.
2. Consumers choose news sources based on topic, not demographics. Different topics are better covered by certain sources like newspapers, specialized sites, or local TV.
3. News organizations should focus on building their brand around areas of recognized excellence to attract audiences.
4. Coverage should focus on creating knowledge for audiences, not just publishing stories. This helps produce more useful content across platforms.
5. Organizations should recognize they have multiple audiences and tailor coverage appropriately to serve different audience needs.
6. News organizations can learn techniques from startups like

NIH Biosketch & Federal Public Access PoliciesAPLICwebmaster
The document discusses open access, public access, and biosketch policies from NIH. It explains the importance of journal articles and the differences between open access and public access models of publishing. The main points are that the NIH Public Access Policy requires authors to submit peer-reviewed publications from NIH-funded research to PubMed Central within 12 months of publication. Compliance is important because NIH can delay funding for non-compliance. The document outlines the steps for complying with the policy, including determining the submission method and proper citation of the PMCID.
Developing New Services in Science LibrariesAPLICwebmaster

Adding value : the foundation on which to build communityAPLICwebmaster
Joe Matthews presents a session based on his book about adding value. The premise of the book is really quite simple. First, the concept of adding value is bandied about in the management, marketing, and strategic planning literature but is rarely broken down and discussed so that anyone can really understand the concept and, more importantly, learn how they can add value in the work that they do. Second, change is all around us and affects us as individuals mightily and in our libraries, museum, galleries, and archives in some pretty significant ways. In addition, many observers believe that the rate of change is accelerating which is also a cause for concern. So perhaps it would be prudent to explore what forces in our society, and in the field of information technology specifically, are impacting our lives and our treasured institutions of libraries, museums, galleries and archives and discover how organizations need to change in order to add value for their customers.
Terra Populus: Integrated Data on Population and EnvironmentAPLICwebmaster
Terra Populus is an NSF-funded DataNet project that seeks to lower the barriers for conducting human-environment interactions research. TerraPop provides access to hundreds of census and survey microdata samples, area-level data describing geographic units, and environmental data, commonly stored as raster data, describing land use, land cover, and climate. The data access system adds value to these data by supporting transformations across microdata, area-level data, and raster data. Users may select variables of interest from any of the three formats and obtain output in their desired format. This presentation will provide an overview of the data available in the TerraPop data access system and the system’s transformation functionality, as well as a demonstration of the data access system.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
TOPIC OF DISCUSSION: CENTRIFUGATION SLIDESHARE.pptxshubhijain836
Centrifugation is a powerful technique used in laboratories to separate components of a heterogeneous mixture based on their density. This process utilizes centrifugal force to rapidly spin samples, causing denser particles to migrate outward more quickly than lighter ones. As a result, distinct layers form within the sample tube, allowing for easy isolation and purification of target substances.
Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark UniverseSérgio Sacani
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.

Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...Sérgio Sacani
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.
