Ideals in B1(X) and residue class rings of B1(X) modulo an ideal
No full text[EN] This paper explores the duality between ideals of the ring B1(X) of all real valued Baire one functions on a topological space X and typical families of zero sets, called ZB-filters, on X. As a natural outcome of this study, it is observed that B1(X) is a Gelfand ring but non-Noetherian in general. Introducing fixed and free maximal ideals in the context of B1(X), complete descriptions of the fixed maximal ideals of both B1(X) and B1* (X) are obtained. Though free maximal ideals of B1(X) and those of B1* (X) do not show any relationship in general, their counterparts, i.e., the fixed maximal ideals obey natural relations. It is proved here that for a perfectly normal T1 space X, free maximal ideals of B1(X) are determined by a typical class of Baire one functions. In the concluding part of this paper, we study residue class ring of B1(X) modulo an ideal, with special emphasize on real and hyper real maximal ideals of B1(X).Deb Ray, A.; Mondal, A. (2019).

No full textBlood progenitors within the lymph gland, a larval organ that supports hematopoiesis in Drosophila melanogaster, are maintained by integrating signals emanating from niche-like cells and those from differentiating blood cells. We term the signal from differentiating cells the ‘equilibrium signal’ in order to distinguish it from the ‘niche signal’. Earlier we showed that equilibrium signaling utilizes Pvr (the Drosophila PDGF/VEGF receptor), STAT92E, and adenosine deaminase-related growth factor A (ADGF-A) (Mondal et al., 2011). Little is known about how this signal initiates during hematopoietic development. To identify new genes involved in lymph gland blood progenitor maintenance, particularly those involved in equilibrium signaling, we performed a genetic screen that identified bip1 (bric à brac interacting protein 1) and Nucleoporin 98 (Nup98) as additional regulators of the equilibrium signal. We show that the products of these genes along with the Bip1-interacting protein RpS8 (Ribosomal protein S8) are required for the proper expression of Pvr
TDHA: A Timestamp Defined Hash Algorithm for Secure Data Dissemination in VANET
No full textAbstractThe safety application in vehicular ad hoc network provides active road safety to avoid road accidents by disseminating life critical information among drivers securely. Such information must be protected from the access of intruder or attacker. A timestamp defined hash algorithm is proposed in the present work for secure data dissemination among vehicles. The sender vehicle sends a deformed version of the original message along with the incomplete message digest to its neighbors. The receiver vehicle generates message digest from the deformed version of the original message and also from the incomplete message digest. It accepts the message if both the digests are equal. The proposed algorithm fulfils all the basic properties such as preimage resistance, collision resistance of a one-way unkeyed hash function. Finally the comparative usability of the hash algorithm in the said application domain is worked out and that shows the dominance of the scheme over the existing schemes
Pure Mafia - a novel about child labour, plus thesis and commentary
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.This PhD in Creative Writing consists of three parts. The first part is a full-length novel, approximately 80K words, entitled Pure
Mafia. It is a drama about child labour and the Pakistani “carpet mafia”. This is
intertwined with the story of an unhappily married man undergoing a midlife crisis who
has an affair with a younger woman; the latter is instrumental to the main plot about
child labour. The book’s second main theme is British Pakistanis. An overarching theme
is abuse and exploitation, both personal and global, but ultimately of redemption and
renewal. The story is set in 2010/2011, mainly in London, England, with a middle
section in Lahore, Pakistan. The second part is an academic thesis, approximately 20K words, entitled Cheap Labour = Child Labour, on the main theme of the novel, child labour. It attempts to show that child labour is an inevitable consequence of cheap labour generally, and that the only way to tackle child labour is to address cheap labour. The thesis has been consciously and deliberately written as an objective, third person, standalone document and for this reason does not mention the novel. It is partly designed to fulfil the general
PhD criterion of demonstrating scholarship and research. The third part is a subjective, first person critical commentary, approximately 15K words, on the writing of the novel and the thesis, the connection between them, and the research context; it is entitled Pure Mafia: A critical commentary. It explains why
the main thesis is on child labour, rather than on the creative process or an English
Literature thesis; however, the commentary does include in some detail an insight into
the creative process, as well as a discussion of influences and tradition of writing. The final section of the commentary summarises this entire PhD’s original
contribution to knowledge
Optogenetic regulation of protein activity in live cell
No full textSignaling pathways extensively crosstalk among each other and result in different cellular phenotypes depending on the dynamic profile of protein activity. Conventional genetic and pharmacological approaches such as gene overexpression, use of growth factors or inhibitors have helped us delineate interaction maps of signaling components, however these techniques provide limited means to determine contribution of a target protein for specific cellular phenotype. Therefore, to find out the molecular mechanism for a cellular outcome, there is an urgent need for a tool that can specifically activate or inactivate a protein of interest and study it’s role towards a specific cell fate. Optogenetic techniques utilize light to control protein functions with high spatial and temporal resolution. Here, I First present a generalizable light modulated protein stabilization system (GLIMPSe) that enables target-independent optogenetic control of protein activities and minimizes the systematic variation embedded within different photoactivatable proteins. GLIMPSe was applied to control light-mediated post-translational stabilization of two distinct classes of proteins, phosphatase and kinase with rapid kinetics response. Second, I discuss role of speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) in cell differentiation inhibition in PC12 and primary rat hippocampus neuron cell. Next, I combined the GLIMPSe system with the Sufu protein, a SPOP phenocopy and sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway inhibitor and generated the GLIMPSe-Sufu system for optogenetic inhibition of Shh signaling pathway. Finally, I review the molecular machinery of cargo trafficking with emphasis on new optogenetic and optochemical experimental strategies that enable direct modulation of cargo trafficking in live cells.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2022-05-01The student, Payel Mondal, accepted the attached license on 2020-05-01 at 14:55.The student, Payel Mondal, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2020-05-01 at 15:01.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2020-05-07 at 14:44.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #15084 on 2020-08-25 at 17:41:15Made available in DSpace on 2020-08-27T00:50:04Z (GMT).

Reinforcement Learning-Based Design of Side-Channel Countermeasures
No full textDeep learning-based side-channel attacks are capable of breaking targets protected with countermeasures. The constant progress in the last few years makes the attacks more powerful, requiring fewer traces to break a target. Unfortunately, to protect against such attacks, we still rely solely on methods developed to protect against generic attacks. The works considering the protection perspective are few and usually based on the adversarial examples concepts, which are not always easy to translate to real-world hardware implementations. In this work, we ask whether we can develop combinations of countermeasures that protect against side-channel attacks. We consider several widely adopted hiding countermeasures and use the reinforcement learning paradigm to design specific countermeasures that show resilience against deep learning-based side-channel attacks. Our results show that it is possible to significantly enhance the target resilience to a point where deep learning-based attacks cannot obtain secret information. At the same time, we consider the cost of implementing such countermeasures to balance security and implementation costs. The optimal countermeasure combinations can serve as development guidelines for real-world hardware/software-based protection schemes.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Cyber Securit
On rings of Baire one functions
No full textThis paper introduces the ring of all real valued Baire one functions, denoted by B1(X) and also the ring of all real valued bounded Baire one functions, denoted by B∗1(X). Though the resemblance between C(X) and B1(X) is the focal theme of this paper, it is observed that unlike C(X) and C∗(X) (real valued bounded continuous functions), B∗1 (X) is a proper subclass of B1(X) in almost every non-trivial situation. Introducing B1-embedding and B∗1-embedding, several analogous results, especially, an analogue of Urysohn’s extension theorem is established
