Using Column Generation to Solve Extensions to the Markowitz Model
We introduce a solution scheme for portfolio optimization problems with
cardinality constraints. Typical portfolio optimization problems are extensions
of the classical Markowitz mean-variance portfolio optimization model. We solve
such type of problems using a method similar to column generation. In this
scheme, the original problem is restricted to a subset of the assets resulting
in a master convex quadratic problem. Then the dual information of the master
problem is used in a sub-problem to propose more assets to consider. We also
consider other extensions to the Markowitz model to diversify the portfolio
selection within the given intervals for active weights.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables, 1 pseudocod
Predicting Fraud Apps Using Hybrid Learning Approach: A Survey
Each individual in the planet are mobile phone users in fact smart-phone users with android applications. So, due to this attractiveness and well-known concept there will be a hasty growth in mobile technology. And in addition in information mining, mining the required information from a fastidious application is exceptionally troublesome. Consolidating these two ideas of ranking frauds in android market and taking out required information is gone exceptionally tough.The mobile phone Apps has developed at massive speed in some years; as for march 2017, there are nearby 2.8 million Apps at google play and 2.2 Apps at Google Apps store. In addition, there are over 400,000 self-governing app developers all fighting for the attention of the same potential clients. The Google App Store saw 128,000 new business apps alone in 2014 and the mobile gaming category alone has contest to the tune of almost 300,000 apps. Here the major need to make fraud search in Apps is by searching the high ranked applications up to 30-40 which may be ranked high in some time or the applications which are in those high ranked lists should be confirmed but this is not applied for thousands of applications added per day. So, go for wide examination by applying some procedure to every application to judge its ranking. Discovery of ranking fraud for mobile phone applications, require a flawless, fraud less and result that show correct application accordingly provide ranking; where really make it occur by searching fraud of applications. They create fraud of App by ranked high the App by methods using such human water armies and bot farms; where they create fraud by downloading application through different devices and provide fake ratings and reviews. So, extract critical data connecting particular application such as review which was called comments and lots of other information, to mine and place algorithm to identify fakeness in application rank
A Study On Secure Data Storage In Public Clouds
This paper focuses on the study of various existing cloud storage mechanisms with their related security frameworks for realizing the efficient cloud storage in a secured environment. The key feature for the growing popularity of cloud computing relies on the efficient management of stored data in a highly secure way for remote accessing. Ensuring the integrity and availability of user’s data stored in the cloud has always been an important aspect for its quality of service. While storing data in cloud, lots of issues with respect to security are being cropping out as clients have no direct physical control over their outsourced data. In addition, their vulnerabilities to external threats are increasing as cloud provides storage and accessing services via world-wide domain networking. This study will help in identifying different performance measures for secure available of data in cloud storage mechanisms
Study of Post-Modernism and Post-Structuralism
Post- Modernism was not the invention of literary critics, but literature can certainly claim to be one of the most important laboratories of postmodernism. Literary postmodernism has tended to be focused on one kind of writing, namely, narrative fiction. It seems oddly fitting that what Hutcheon says “poetics of postmodernism” should turn out to be most in evidence in its fiction. One might almost say that the move from modernism to postmodernism involves a move from poetry to fiction. Modernism had also been characterized by efforts to establish the dignity and seriousness of the novel by developing for it a kind of poetics, centered on principles of structure. This poetics operated according to the principles of a scenography

Bicarbonate Resensitization of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus to β-Lactam Antibiotics.
Endovascular infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are a major health care concern, especially infective endocarditis (IE). Standard antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) defines most MRSA strains as "resistant" to β-lactams, often leading to the use of costly and/or toxic treatment regimens. In this investigation, five prototype MRSA strains, representing the range of genotypes in current clinical circulation, were studied. We identified two distinct MRSA phenotypes upon AST using standard media, with or without sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) supplementation: one highly susceptible to the antistaphylococcal β-lactams oxacillin and cefazolin (NaHCO3 responsive) and one resistant to such agents (NaHCO3 nonresponsive). These phenotypes accurately predicted clearance profiles of MRSA from target tissues in experimental MRSA IE treated with each β-lactam. Mechanistically, NaHCO3 reduced the expression of two key genes involved in the MRSA phenotype, mecA and sarA, leading to decreased production of penicillin-binding protein 2a (that mediates methicillin resistance), in NaHCO3-responsive (but not in NaHCO3-nonresponsive) strains. Moreover, both cefazolin and oxacillin synergistically killed NaHCO3-responsive strains in the presence of the host defense antimicrobial peptide (LL-37) in NaHCO3-supplemented media. These findings suggest that AST of MRSA strains in NaHCO3-containing media may potentially identify infections caused by NaHCO3-responsive strains that are appropriate for β-lactam therapy
