Analysis of neural networks usage for detection of a new attack in IDS

Generally, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) work using two methods of identification of attacks: by signatures, that are specific defined elements of the network traffic possible to identify and by anomalies being some deviation form of the network behaviour assumed as normal. Recently, some attempts have been made to implement artificial intelligence method for detection of attacks. Many such implementations use for testing and learning process the data set provided by KDD (Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining Competition) project in 1999. Unfortunately, KDD99 data set was created more than eight years ago and during this time many new attacks have been discovered. In this paper we present our research on updating KDD99 data with traces of attacks of new types. After updating, the data set was used for training and testing MLP (Multi Layer Perceptron) neural network architecture IDS

The purpose of this paper is the analysis of traffic load on road pavement and it forecasting, in aspect of designing the reconstruction of roads and pavement strengthening. At present modeling method is a method that offers highest level of traffic load forecasting. Preparation of the digital model of road network and traffic load, which take place on it, allows to eliminate many drawbacks of existing methods of forecasting. For accurate predictions of heavy vehicles by model it is necessary to build the best possible knowledge base of traffic load which is present on the existing road network in particularly based on the largest number of measure spots to both classification and pre-selection of weight classes such as WIM-P.Celem tej pracy jest analiza obciążeń nawierzchni drogowych ruchem oraz jego prognozy, głównie w aspekcie projektowania przebudowy dróg lub wzmacniania nawierzchni. W obecnej chwili metoda modelowa jest metodą, która daje największe możliwości prognozowania ruchu pojazdów. Przygotowanie cyfrowego modelu sieci drogowej oraz ruchu pojazdów, który na niej się odbywa pozwala na wyeliminowanie wielu wad dotychczasowych metod prognozowania. Dla dokładnego prognozowania ruchu pojazdów ciężkich metodą modelową niezbędne jest zbudowanie jak najlepszej bazy wiedzy o ruchu występującym na istniejącej sieci drogowej w szczególności w oparciu o jak największą liczbę punktów umożliwiających zarówno klasyfikację jak i preselekcję wagową klasy np. WIM-P

Water quality of urban water bodies : a threat for amphibians?

Most studies on the effects of water quality on amphibians concern experimental conditions. The main aim of our study was to determine whether the quality of water bodies in urban environment may be a factor leading to local extinction of some amphibian species. We investigated the current amphibian richness in Kraków water bodies and the water quality of these water bodies. We compared our results with available historical data on amphibian richness in Kraków and we determined the number of amphibian species local extinction for each water body. Then, we compared water bodies with low amphibian extinction rates to water bodies with high amphibian extinction rates in respect to ten water quality chemical indicators. We found that the values of most chemical indicators were higher in water bodies with high amphibian extinction rates. The values of magnesium and chloride ion concentration, as well as conductivity appeared to differ the most between these two types of water bodies which is connected mainly with spring run-off into the water bodies. The results of this study demonstrate that water pollution may lead to local extinction of amphibian species

Life quality of women with breast cancer after mastectomy or breast conserving therapy treated with adjuvant chemotherapy

Introduction Breast cancer is the most frequent malignant neoplasm in women. The evaluation of the quality of life has become a treatment parameter as important as survival. Objective The aim of the study was evaluation of the quality of life among women treated for breast cancer who underwent surgical procedures using two alternative methods: mastectomy or breast conserving therapy (BCT). Material and Methods 85 patients treated with BCT and 94 patients who underwent mastectomy were evaluated. Standard questionnaires for the evaluation of the quality of life of cancer patients were used – QLQ-C30 (Quality of life questionnaire – core 30) with QLQ-BR23 (Breast Cancer Module). The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was also applied. Results Social and demographic factors (age, education, marital status) influenced the evaluation of the life quality among both groups. Obtained data was also dependent on the type of surgical procedure and chemical treatment. The level of anxiety and depression also influenced the general quality of life and was higher in women who underwent mastectomy. Conclusions Quality of life plays an important role in the treatment process. Women after BCT declared a higher quality of life compared to patients after mastectomy. The process of making the decision concerning the planned surgical procedure should take into consideration the influence of the intervention on the quality of patients’ future life

Salvage brachytherapy in combination with interstitial hyperthermia for locally recurrent prostate carcinoma following external beam radiation therapy: a prospective phase II study.

Optimal treatment for patients with only local prostate cancer recurrence after external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) failure remains unclear. Possible curative treatments are radical prostatectomy, cryosurgery, and brachytherapy. Several single institution series proved that high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDRBT) and pulsed-dose-rate brachytherapy (PDRBT) are reasonable options for this group of patients with acceptable levels of genitourinary and gastrointestinal toxicity. A standard dose prescription and scheme have not been established yet, and the literature presents a wide range of fractionation protocols. Furthermore, hyperthermia has shown the potential to enhance the efficacy of re-irradiation. Consequently, a prospective trial is urgently needed to attain clear structured prospective data regarding the efficacy of salvage brachytherapy with adjuvant hyperthermia for locally recurrent prostate cancer. The purpose of this report is to introduce a new prospective phase II trial that would meet this need. The primary aim of this prospective phase II study combining Iridium-192 brachytherapy with interstitial hyperthermia (IHT) is to analyze toxicity of the combined treatment; a secondary aim is to define the efficacy (bNED, DFS, OS) of salvage brachytherapy. The dose prescribed to PTV will be 30 Gy in 3 fractions for HDRBT, and 60 Gy in 2 fractions for PDRBT. During IHT, the prostate will be heated to the range of 40-47°C for 60 minutes prior to brachytherapy dose delivery. The protocol plans for treatment of 77 patients
