Restoring the privacy and confidentality of users over Mobile Collaborative Learning (MCL) environment
No full textRogue DHCP server spreads the wrong network parameters that create the bridge for attackers to expose confidentiality and privacy. Trojans like DNS-changing installs the rogue DHCP server and pollutes the network. It provides the chances for attackers to use compromised resources on network. Rogue DHCP server creates several problems to expose the privacy of legitimate users. Two important attacks are shown in figure 1. The poster focuses on two of most important issues
Analyzing structural DNA binding with nanoparticles for gene therapy
No full textThe study of DNA binding with nanoparticles and their packaging assembly is an essential requirement for gene therapy. The structural features of DNA and nanoparticles would be very useful in development of novel gene therapy in genes. Plants being good test system as they are tolerant of being bombarded with small particulates and usually grow normally even after such treatments. We used primers from plant named "Frigida"
Cross-Strait Relations Today: Challenges and Opportunities
No full textThe China-Taiwan relationship has been deeply influenced by path dependency, structural shifts in great power politics, and partisan struggles across the Taiwan Strait. One may wonder, what had suddenly changed between 2008 and 2010 to make a landmark free trade deal possible between the archrivals? Why was it signed despite domestic opposition? How did these rivals embrace each other economically when they still harbored significant political differences? Will this economically beneficial agreement to Taiwan come at a political cost? How will this deal influence East Asian regional economic integration, especially between Northeast Asia and ASEAN
Numerical Study of Manifold Design for Heat Pipe Solar Collectors
No full textThis project studies an active solar water heating system which uses glass evacuated tube solar collectors. The heat pipes inside the evacuated tubes transfer the absorbed solar energy to water in the manifold through the copper headers of heat pipes. A numerical model will be developed to simulate the heat transfer and fluid flow inside the manifold under different solar radiation flux levels and fluid flow rates. The simulation results provide understanding of the heat transfer and fluid flow patterns inside the manifold and will be used to help optimize the manifold design
Assessing the Dimensions of Teacher Attitudes Toward Inclusion: The Development of the TATIS-p

The Scribe
No full textThis is the November 2012 edition of The Scribe, Issue 4. The front page features an article on President Barack Obama’s election to a second term. Additional articles include coverage of the visit by paranormal investigator John Zaffis and the women’s volleyball team’s winning streak
Tailored collector design for optimization of alignment of biomimetic nanofibers
No full textHere we demonstrate a unique design of a collector for an Electrospining setup which produces scaffold with majority of aligned nanofibers. Previous researchers have shown that the scaffold with aligned nanofibers gives maximum cell proliferation and enhances cell adherence. Also, the geometry of collector influences the alignment of fibers. We develop custom integrated Electrospining setup, build in laboratory, to make scaffold with aligned nanofibers. We use SEM to characterize the structural and morphological aspects of scaffold thus produced
Fabrication of aligned PVA nanofibers: A new collector technique
No full textWe report a laboratory developed efficient metal rotating collector design in electrospinning that aligns majority of the polyvinyl alcohol nanofibers with or without carbon nanotube inclusions. The average diameter of PVA and PVA-CNT composite nanofibers fabricated is 200 nm. A comparison of fiber diameter distribution and alignment has been established in case of static and laboratory designed rotating disc collector. Raman analysis suggests the presence of carbon nanotubes in the electrospun web. AFM suggests the thinness of the fibrous filaments and SEM shows the structural morphology of the fibers
