Prevent Privacy Leakage in Mobile Social Networks -- A Privacy Policy Conflict Detection Framework
No full textMobile social networks give online social networking sites the abilities to extend their services to mobile device users. Smart phones and tablets allow users to interact with others when they are moving. Policy-based management simplifies the management of interaction functionalities by establishing policies to control various activities involved in these functionalities. To detect and resolve potential dynamic conflicts between the rules and configurations from different administrative domains, a knowledge-based policy analysis framework is proposed this paper. It incorporates relationships between different elements in policy rules into temporal logic using a semantic extension, which makes dynamic policy conflict analysis more accurate. A prototype system for mobile social networks is implemented to illustrate the capability of this framework
Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes and m-RNA Self Assmebly: A Stabilization Perspective
No full textCarbon nanotubes (CNT) have emerged as one of the most advanced material. They offer several appealing features with well-defined physicochemical properties as well as unique optical and electrical properties. Self-assembly of m RNA and functionalized carbon nanotube would give biostability complex which result in protecting m RNA from various enzymes

An olfactory subsystem that detects carbon disulfide and mediates food-related social learning
No full textIn mammals, pheromones and other social cues can promote mating or aggression behaviors; can communicate information about social hierarchies, genetic identity and health status; and can contribute to associative learning. However, the molecular, cellular, and neural mechanisms underlying many olfactory-mediated social interactions remain poorly understood. Here, we show a specialized olfactory subsystem that includes olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) expressing the receptor guanylyl cyclase GC-D, the cyclic nucleotide-gated channel subunit CNGA3, and the carbonic anhydrase isoform CAII (GC-D(+) OSNs) is required for the acquisition of socially transmitted food preferences (STFPs) in mice
DNA Origami Structures for Engineering Applications
No full textDNA based nanostructures and advances in DNA origami techniques have shown great potential in fabrication of nanostructures and devices. Though a large number of DNA origami structures have been reported, very few applications of DNA structures have been presented. We are proposing to use DNA biostructures as a scaffold for nanoscale devices
