E-enterprise : business models, architecture, and components / Faisal Hoque.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. [265]-271) and index.xx, 284 pages ;E-commerce is still a volatile industry, but each day a new enterprise pops up promising to be the next big thing. The real challenge is to understand what is involved in using the Internet as a means to building a successful business. Rather than coming up with marketing hooks and product innovations, e-Enterprise: Business Models, Architecture, and Components demystifies e-commerce and describes how a business should determine its own future by taking the next step and becoming an agile 'e-enterprise'. Faisal Hoque introduces the concept of high-level abstraction of business processes and application functionality that result in reusable business and technology components. He provides a methodology that is critical for all business leaders and technologists trying to build an enterprise on the internet
Conventional to point of care devices for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
No full textTuberculosis (TB) is a deadly illness that mostly affects the lungs and is caused by the pathogenic bacterium M. tuberculosis. Tuberculosis bacteria transmit from individual to individual via tiny respiratory droplets. The illness usually affects the lungs (pulmonary tuberculosis), but it could also impact other parts of the body (extra-pulmonary TB). M. tuberculosis infects around 1/4th of the world's population. The contamination of TB is a serious public health concern because it may develop as a complication of acquired immune deficiency syndrome infection (AIDS). As a result, detecting, identifying, and quantifying M. tuberculosis is critical for worldwide public health protection. In clinical diagnosis, food analysis, bioprocess, and environmental monitoring, biosensing technologies have the potential to enhance TB detection and supervision. For the detection of M. tuberculosis, a range of transferrable, fast, and sensitive biosensors with instant "on-the-spot" interpretation has been developed. TB is a disease that is caused by the interplay of genetic components, activity recognition, and fundamental signaling transduction processes. The present review mainly concerns the current developments in electrochemical biosensors for the analysis of pathogenic bacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Besides this, the advantages of biosensors over conventional methods have also been discussed
CORRELATED KELDYSH-FAISAL-REISS THEORY OF ABOVE-THRESHOLD DOUBLE-IONIZATION OF HE IN INTENSE LASER FIELDS
No full textBECKER A, Faisal F. CORRELATED KELDYSH-FAISAL-REISS THEORY OF ABOVE-THRESHOLD DOUBLE-IONIZATION OF HE IN INTENSE LASER FIELDS. PHYSICAL REVIEW A. 1994;50(4):3256-3264.We have developed a correlated Keldysh-Faisal-Reiss theory of laser-induced double ionization of a two-electron atom. The basic N-photon T matrix and the expression for N-photon triple-differential rates or cross sections (TDCS's) are derived. The theory is applied to investigate the TDCS's for very-high-order multiphoton double ionization of He with lasers of wavelength lambda = 248 nm and lambda = 617 nm. Comparison with the uncorrelated results reveals a dramatic influence of the final-state e-e correlation on the above-threshold TDCS's to be measured in coincidence experiments in intense laser fields. The limiting case of the TDCS's for weak-field double ionization of He by a synchroton photon is also investigated; the results confirm the earlier theoretical findings and recent experimental results in that case

Advanced XML Security: Framework for Building Secure XML Management System (SXMS)
Full text linkThe eXtensible Markup Language (XML) has been
widely adopted for information exchange across various networks due to flexibility providing common syntax for messaging systems. Excessive use of XML as a communication medium created an aligned interest in the level of security provided for those XML-Based systems. Many security concerns have been tackled by the World Wide Consortium (W3C) creating the "XML Encryption Syntax and Processing" Recommendation [4].
This study presents a new architecture to handle received XML messages from various systems, on one hand suggested architecture is focused on classifying received XML messages (sensitive and non-sensitive) data to define which parts of the
XML document to be encrypted and which to be forwarded to another module in suggested system to handle message composition, On the other hand the architecture is focused on securing XML messages by encrypting flagged XML parts each with different type of encryption depending on data sensitivity and importance level defined, this stage uses an approach based on W3C "XML Encryption Syntax and Processing" Recommendation.
As a result, study aims to improve both the performance of XML encryption process and bulk message handling to achieve data cleansing efficiently

SAT based Enforcement of Domotic Effects in Smart Environments
Full text linkThe emergence of economically viable and efficient sensor technology provided impetus to the development of smart devices (or appliances). Modern smart environments are equipped with a multitude of smart devices and sensors, aimed at delivering intelligent services to the users of smart environments. The presence of these diverse smart devices has raised a major problem of managing environments. A rising solution to the problem is the modeling of user goals and intentions, and then interacting with the environments using user defined goals. `Domotic Effects' is a user goal modeling framework, which provides Ambient Intelligence (AmI) designers and integrators with an abstract layer that enables the definition of generic goals in a smart environment, in a declarative way, which can be used to design and develop intelligent applications. The high-level nature of domotic effects also allows the residents to program their personal space as they see fit: they can define different achievement criteria for a particular generic goal, e.g., by defining a combination of devices having some particular states, by using domain-specific custom operators. This paper describes an approach for the automatic enforcement of domotic effects in case of the Boolean application domain, suitable for intelligent monitoring and control in domotic environments. Effect enforcement is the ability to determine device configurations that can achieve a set of generic goals (domotic effects). The paper also presents an architecture to implement the enforcement of Boolean domotic effects, and results obtained from carried out experiments prove the feasibility of the proposed approach and highlight the responsiveness of the implemented effect enforcement architectur
Mosaic Atlas: Interview with Faisal Zedan
Full text linkThis interview with Faisal Zedan, an Arabic drummer, educator, and artist originally from southern Syria, was conducted by Sukanya Chakrabarti as part of the Mosaic Atlas project. Zedan discusses his journey in Arabic music, beginning as a teenager in Syria, and advancing professionally after moving to the United States. His career has spanned over 36 years, focusing on teaching traditional Arabic drumming and rhythms, while also engaging in cross-cultural music collaborations. Key themes include the cultural significance of drumming as a bridge for understanding and coexistence, particularly between Arab and Jewish communities. Zedan emphasizes using music as a vehicle for fostering tolerance and addressing cultural disconnects. He highlights his teaching methodologies, dedication to traditional art forms, and integration of influences from various musical cultures like Indian, Balkan, and Central Asian music. Despite challenges, Zedan focuses on maintaining the authenticity of Arabic rhythms and their cultural roots, while adapting them for contemporary understanding. Through his work, Zedan promotes a vision of music as a unifying force that transcends political and cultural divides, aspiring to pass down the depth and significance of traditional Arabic drumming to future generations. As part of the Mosaic Atlas project, Mosaic Staff and Volunteers, SJSU students and faculty from the Anthropology and Film, Theater, and Dance Departments interviewed people who support and produce art throughout the Bay Area
The Complexity of Human Walking: A Knee Osteoarthritis Study
Full text linkThis study proposes a framework for deconstructing complex walking patterns to create a simple principal component space before checking whether the projection to this space is suitable for identifying changes from the normality. We focus on knee osteoarthritis, the most common knee joint disease and the second leading cause of disability. Knee osteoarthritis affects over 250 million people worldwide. The motivation for projecting the highly dimensional movements to a lower dimensional and simpler space is our belief that motor behaviour can be understood by identifying a simplicity via projection to a low principal component space, which may reflect upon the underlying mechanism. To study this, we recruited 180 subjects, 47 of which reported that they had knee osteoarthritis. They were asked to walk several times along a walkway equipped with two force plates that capture their ground reaction forces along 3 axes, namely vertical, anterior-posterior, and medio-lateral, at 1000 Hz. Data when the subject does not clearly strike the force plate were excluded, leaving 1–3 gait cycles per subject. To examine the complexity of human walking, we applied dimensionality reduction via Probabilistic Principal Component Analysis. The first principal component explains 34% of the variance in the data, whereas over 80% of the variance is explained by 8 principal components or more. This proves the complexity of the underlying structure of the ground reaction forces. To examine if our musculoskeletal system generates movements that are distinguishable between normal and pathological subjects in a low dimensional principal component space, we applied a Bayes classifier. For the tested cross-validated, subject-independent experimental protocol, the classification accuracy equals 82.62%. Also, a novel complexity measure is proposed, which can be used as an objective index to facilitate clinical decision making. This measure proves that knee osteoarthritis subjects exhibit more variability in the two-dimensional principal component space
