Oral history interview with Peter G. Neumann
No full textTranscript, 75 pp.In this interview, computer security pioneer Peter G. Neumann relates his education at Harvard University (A.B. in Math, S.M. and Ph.D. in Applied Math), including an influential (to his perspective and career) two-hour long meeting/discussion as an undergraduate with Albert Einstein (discussing “complexity” and other topics). The vast majority of the interview addresses the many facets of his highly influential career in computer security research. With regard to the latter, this includes discussion of his work at Bell Labs and extensive involvement with MULTICS security, and his subsequent four-decade (and continuing) career as a research scientist at SRI International. He tells of his work and leadership with the Provably Secure Operating System (PSOS), research and writing on risks (including moderating the ACM Risks Forum), insider misuse and intrusion-detection systems (IDES, NIDES, EMERALD), and his current work on two DARPA-funded projects that builds on key lessons of the past to design and develop secure/trustworthy computer systems. He also relates the computer security research infrastructure and how it evolved, as well as comments on a number of other topics such as the major computer security conferences and the range of perspectives of researchers in the computer security research community.

The COLOSS BEEBOOK Volume I, Standard methods for Apis mellifera research: Introduction
Full text linkThe COLOSS BEEBOOK is a practical manual compiling standard methods in all fields of research on the western honey bee, Apis mellifera. The COLOSS network was founded in 2008 as a consequence of the heavy and frequent losses of managed honey bee colonies experienced in many regions of the world (Neumann and Carreck, 2010). As many of the world’s honey bee research teams began to address the problem, it soon became obvious that a lack of standardized research methods was seriously hindering scientists’ ability to harmonize and compare the data on colony losses obtained internationally. In its second year of activity, during a COLOSS meeting held in Bern, Switzerland, the idea of a manual of standardized honey bee research methods emerged. The manual, to be called the COLOSS BEEBOOK, was inspired by publications with similar purposes for fruit fly research (Lindsley and Grell, 1968; Ashburner 1989; Roberts, 1998; Greenspan, 2004)
Stability of canine urine samples under different storage conditions
No full textThe stability of canine urine samples is essential when the samples cannot be analyzed immediately. The objective of this study was to investigate the stability of canine urine samples at room temperature and under refrigerated conditions. Samples from 20 dogs were collected, divided, and stored at 4°C and 20°C. The samples were examined up to 48 h after collection for specific gravity, pH, protein, bilirubin, glucose, ketones, and sediment and at 4 h and 24 h for bacterial growth. Specific gravity and all chemistry parameters were stable for a minimum of 48 h in 90% of samples. The sediment was stable, apart from crystals. The bacterial growth of 3 bacterial species tested in vitro, as well as the clinical samples, was mostly constant over 24 h at the refrigerated temperature. In urine samples stored at room temperature, the total number of aerobic growing bacteria was increasing. The results of our study showed that routinely measured parameters were stable in unpreserved urine for a minimum of 4 h and up to 48 h in most cases. If it is not possible to culture urine immediately, it is recommended that urine samples be stored at 4°C for a period of up to 24 h

Book review: radicalized: new jihadists and the threat to the West by Peter R. Neumann
No full textIn Radicalized: New Jihadists and the Threat to the West, Peter R. Neumann explores the phenomenon of the ‘new jihadists’ travelling from the West to join and/or train with ‘Islamic State’ and reflects on the scale of the threat this poses to Western nations. While more on the role of women within the movement and analysis of a wider range of European examples would have been welcome, this meticulously researched and engagingly written book is highly recommended by Jennifer Philippa Eggert

Serum interleukin-6 as a prognostic marker in neonatal calf diarrhea
No full textNeonatal calf diarrhea is still one of the most important diseases in calf rearing, and severe diarrhea has a marked effect on animal welfare. Furthermore, significant economic losses can result from this disease due to high mortality rates, high medical costs, and low weight gain. To avoid a fatal outcome of the disease, it is crucial that vulnerable calves are identified as early as possible. Interleukin-6 is described as an early and reliable prognostic marker in several diseases. In this study, 20 scouring calves were tested by ELISA for their IL-6 serum concentrations. Samples were collected twice, at the beginning of diarrhea and 7 to 10 d later. Regarding the clinical outcome after 7 to 10 d, calves were classified as recovered or nonrecovered. A receiver operating characteristic analysis was conducted to determine the prognostic value of IL-6 for the progress of clinical symptoms. At the beginning of diarrhea, the IL-6 concentration was significantly higher in nonrecovering calves compared with those that recover 7 to 10 d after the onset of diarrhea. Interleukin-6 proved to be a useful additional parameter in the clinical examination. High initial IL-6 values can support the decision for closer monitoring and an adapted therapeutic strategy for the respective calves. This may help to prevent unnecessary animal suffering and reduce economic losses.Ministry for Science and Culture of Lower Saxony (Hannover, Germany
