A Multi-Authority Cipher Text Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) for G2C
We propose an adaptable, secure, cost savvy, and protection preserved cloud-based system for the healthcare condition. We propose a safe and proficient structure for the administration EHR framework, in which fine-grained get to control can be managed dependent on multi-authority ciphertext attribute based encryption (CP-ABE), together with a progressive structure, to uphold get to control strategies. The proposed system will permit chiefs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to build up the social insurance segment and to profit by the current e-government cloud computing stage Yasser, which is liable for conveying shared services through a profoundly proficient, dependable, and safe condition. This system means to give health services and offices from the government to citizens (G2C)
AUGMENTATION OF HEAT TRANSFER IN A CIRUCALAR TUBE WITH INSERTS
Present research is going on augmentation of Heat Transfer in Heat Exchangers by using Passive techniques than the Active techniques, because they do not require direct input of External power. Inserts fitted inside the tubes come under passive technique. In this Study Heat transfer augmentation with mass in a circular tubes has been investigated without inserts and with inserts which are rectangular inserts of 5mm thickness are being fitted across the flow direction at equal distances from each other along the length at following inlet velocities of 0.04m/s, 0.08 m/s, 0.12 m/s. The Combinations are composed of without insert, and two inserts. An 800mm long pipe with 26mm inner diameter 30mm outer diameter considered in our simulation. A constant heat flux is generated at the boundary layer of the tube close to the flowing fluid around the boundary layer. The purpose of using inserts is to scatter the fluid particles in laminar flow which increases the heat transfer with Reynolds number
CAM: Double Standard Security Mechanism In The Management Cloud Based Mobile Application
In a remote mHealth observing framework a customer could mastermind compact sensors in remote body sensor systems to gather different physiological information, for example, circulatory strain (BP), breathing rate (BR), Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG), fringe oxygen immersion (SpO2) and blood glucose. Such physiological information could then be sent to a focal server which could then run a mixture of web therapeutic applications on these information to return opportune guidance to the customer. Cloud-helped mHealth observing could offer an incredible prospect to liven up the nature of social insurance administrations and conceivably decrease human services costs there is a reluctant square in making this innovation a reality. It is taking into account another option of key private intermediary re-encryption plan in which the organization just needs to accomplish encryption once at the setup stage while moving the rest computational errands to the cloud without bargaining security in addition diminishing the computational and correspondence load on customers and the cloud

The Influence of Rigid Foam Density on the Flexural Properties of Glass Fabric/Epoxy-Polyurethane Foam Sandwich Composites
Abstract: Sandwich composites with glass fabric and epoxy matrix as the skin and rigid polyurethane foam (PUF) as the core were prepared in the shape of panels. Three panels were fabricated with the rigid foam densities of 125, 250 and 500 kg/m 3 , separately. The Flexural properties were compared and detailed analyses done, on the influence of different foam densities on otherwise identical sandwich composite beams, prepared from the panels. All the panels were fabricated with the skin weight maintained to about 40% of the foam weight
SDSS-IV MaNGA-resolved Star Formation and Molecular Gas Properties of Green Valley Galaxies: A First Look with ALMA and MaNGA
We study the role of cold gas in quenching star formation in the green valley by analyzing ALMA 12 CO (1-0) observations of three galaxies with resolved optical spectroscopy from the MaNGA survey. We present resolution-matched maps of the star formation rate and molecular gas mass. These data are used to calculate the star formation efficiency (SFE) and gas fraction (f gas ) for these galaxies separately in the central "bulge" regions and outer disks. We find that, for the two galaxies whose global specific star formation rate (sSFR) deviates most from the star formation main sequence, the gas fraction in the bulges is significantly lower than that in their disks, supporting an "inside-out" model of galaxy quenching. For the two galaxies where SFE can be reliably determined in the central regions, the bulges and disks share similar SFEs. This suggests that a decline in f gas is the main driver of lowered sSFR in bulges compared to disks in green valley galaxies. Within the disks, there exist common correlations between the sSFR and SFE and between sSFR and f gas on kiloparsec scales - the local SFE or f gas in the disks declines with local sSFR. Our results support a picture in which the sSFR in bulges is primarily controlled by f gas , whereas both SFE and f gas play a role in lowering the sSFR in disks. A larger sample is required to confirm if the trend established in this work is representative of the green valley as a whole.The work is supported by the Ministry of Science & Technology of Taiwan under the grant MOST 103-2112-M-001-031-MY3 and 106-2112-M-001-034.

Expression of a malarial Hsp70 improves defects in chaperone-dependent activities in ssa1 mutant yeast
Plasmodium falciparum causes the most virulent form of malaria and encodes a large number of molecular chaperones. Because the parasite encounters radically different environments during its lifecycle, many members of this chaperone ensemble may be essential for P. falciparum survival. Therefore, Plasmodium chaperones represent novel therapeutic targets, but to establish the mechanism of action of any developed therapeutics, it is critical to ascertain the functions of these chaperones. To this end, we report the development of a yeast expression system for PfHsp70-1, a P. falciparum cytoplasmic chaperone. We found that PfHsp70-1 repairs mutant growth phenotypes in yeast strains lacking the two primary cytosolic Hsp70s, SSA1 and SSA2, and in strains harboring a temperature sensitive SSA1 allele. PfHsp70-1 also supported chaperone-dependent processes such as protein translocation and ER associated degradation, and ameliorated the toxic effects of oxidative stress. By introducing engineered forms of PfHsp70-1 into the mutant strains, we discovered that rescue requires PfHsp70-1 ATPase activity. Together, we conclude that yeast can be co-opted to rapidly uncover specific cellular activities mediated by malarial chaperones. © 2011 Bell et al
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Oral Prevalence in Scotland (HOPSCOTCH):a feasibility study in dental settings
The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of undertaking a full population investigation into the prevalence, incidence, and persistence of oral Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) in Scotland via dental settings. Male and female patients aged 16-69 years were recruited by Research Nurses in 3 primary care and dental outreach teaching centres and 2 General Dental Practices (GDPs), and by Dental Care Teams in 2 further GDPs. Participants completed a questionnaire (via an online tablet computer or paper) with socioeconomic, lifestyle, and sexual history items; and were followed up at 6-months for further questionnaire through appointment or post/online. Saline oral gargle/rinse samples, collected at baseline and follow-up, were subject to molecular HPV genotyping centrally. 1213 dental patients were approached and 402 individuals consented (participation rate 33.1%). 390 completed the baseline questionnaire and 380 provided a baseline oral specimen. Follow-up rate was 61.6% at 6 months. While recruitment was no different in Research Nurse vs Dental Care Team models the Nurse model ensured more rapid recruitment. There were relatively few missing responses in the questionnaire and high levels of disclosure of risk behaviours (99% answered some of the sexual history questions). Data linkage of participant data to routine health records including HPV vaccination data was successful with 99.1% matching. Oral rinse/gargle sample collection and subsequent HPV testing was feasible. Preliminary analyses found over 95% of samples to be valid for molecular HPV detection prevalence of oral HPV infection of 5.5% (95%CI 3.7, 8.3). It is feasible to recruit and follow-up dental patients largely representative / reflective of the wider population, suggesting it would be possible to undertake a study to investigate the prevalence, incidence, and determinants of oral HPV infection in dental settings
Serum Uric Acid and Adiposity: Deciphering Causality Using a Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Approach
Background: Although the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) and adiposity is well established, the direction of the causality is still unclear in the presence of conflicting evidences. We used a bidirectional Mendelian randomization approach to explore the nature and direction of causality between SUA and adiposity in a population-based study of Caucasians aged 35 to 75 years. Methods and Findings: We used, as instrumental variables, rs6855911 within the SUA gene SLC2A9 in one direction, and combinations of SNPs within the adiposity genes FTO, MC4R and TMEM18 in the other direction. Adiposity markers included weight, body mass index, waist circumference and fat mass. We applied a two-stage least squares regression: a regression of SUA/adiposity markers on our instruments in the first stage and a regression of the response of interest on the fitted values from the first stage regression in the second stage. SUA explained by the SLC2A9 instrument was not associated to fat mass (regression coefficient [95 % confidence interval]: 0.05 [20.10, 0.19] for fat mass) contrasting with the ordinary least square estimate (0.37 [0.34, 0.40]). By contrast, fat mass explained by genetic variants of the FTO, MC4R and TMEM18 genes was positively and significantly associated to SUA (0.31 [0.01, 0.62]), similar to the ordinary least square estimate (0.27 [0.25, 0.29]). Results were similar for the other adiposity markers. Conclusions: Using a bidirectional Mendelian randomization approach in adult Caucasians, our findings suggest tha
