Using viral taxonomy as an encryption technique
No full textSeveral taxonomy schemes for viruses have been presented from 1961to date by ICTV (International Committee on Taxonomy of Virus) . The basic considerations in defining distinguished virus order, families and genera are genome, replication strategy and structure. Usually the advance biotechnology is been applied for health sciences and agricultural developments. In the communication science and technology the term biotechnology is found to be very rare or may be not at all. Since nature is very rich and human intelligence is making full use of it through scientific research. Most of the things that we use as a result of brilliant engineering design and implementation are analogues to some natural object or phenomenon. Similarly when the anatomical structure of virus was observed it was very much resembling to the data packet we transmit or receive over a network. A data packet encapsulates the actual data bits in so many layers. The open system interface (OSI) model gives seven layers scheme. On the other hand the virus taxonomy schemes define every virus as hierarchical tree of several layers commonly 7-8 in number. Various coding schemes and encryption algorithms are designed and deployed to avoid hacking attempts and ensure network security. It becomes more crucial when it’s about sharing information between law enforcement agencies & intelligence agencies. The evolution of CDMA technology got rapid acceptance due to its inherited property of encryption. Likewise, in the proposed system virus would be used as an encrypted data packet.
The basic objective is to propose the design to develop a Virus- the organism based communication system for intelligence information transfer; A secure data communication through V-technology. The taxonomy tree and the anatomical structure of virus are used as an encrypted data packet. The basic simulations are performed on Proteus platform. This idea shall extend the application of bio technology and biomedical engineering in communication systems.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tec

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Multivalued φ-Contractions on Extended b-Metric Spaces
No full textIn this paper, we have established some fixed-point results for the class of multivalued φ-contractions in the setting of extended b-metric space. An example is furnished to show the validity of our results. The results we have obtained generalize/extend many recent results by Asl, Bota, Samreen et al., and those contained therein

Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Causes and Manifestations of the Perceived Behavioral Issues of Adolescents A Case Study of Learners in Secondary Schools Islamabad
Full text linkThe study aims to comprehend the adolescents’ behavioral issues and their impact on their physical and emotional
life. The theory of socialized anxiety and adolescents has been applied to this study which conceptually analyzes
the anxiety and behavioral issues of the students. The qualitative and quantitative approach was utilized in the study and adolescent
students were the targeted sample. However, for qualitative study, the teachers and parents of the adolescents were also selected for
focus group discussions. The study finds that the mood of adolescents frequently changes even in the school environment. It was also
found that adolescents do not share their emotions and problems with their parents, though they prefer their teachers and friends.
The study recommends that the gap between the parents and the adolescents must be reduced so that the adolescents could perform
more effectively and efficiently in the school environment and their social life
