The Hot Spring Hypothesis for an Origin of Life.

We present a testable hypothesis related to an origin of life on land in which fluctuating volcanic hot spring pools play a central role. The hypothesis is based on experimental evidence that lipid-encapsulated polymers can be synthesized by cycles of hydration and dehydration to form protocells. Drawing on metaphors from the bootstrapping of a simple computer operating system, we show how protocells cycling through wet, dry, and moist phases will subject polymers to combinatorial selection and draw structural and catalytic functions out of initially random sequences, including structural stabilization, pore formation, and primitive metabolic activity. We propose that protocells aggregating into a hydrogel in the intermediate moist phase of wet-dry cycles represent a primitive progenote system. Progenote populations can undergo selection and distribution, construct niches in new environments, and enable a sharing network effect that can collectively evolve them into the first microbial communities. Laboratory and field experiments testing the first steps of the scenario are summarized. The scenario is then placed in a geological setting on the early Earth to suggest a plausible pathway from life's origin in chemically optimal freshwater hot spring pools to the emergence of microbial communities tolerant to more extreme conditions in dilute lakes and salty conditions in marine environments. A continuity is observed for biogenesis beginning with simple protocell aggregates, through the transitional form of the progenote, to robust microbial mats that leave the fossil imprints of stromatolites so representative in the rock record. A roadmap to future testing of the hypothesis is presented. We compare the oceanic vent with land-based pool scenarios for an origin of life and explore their implications for subsequent evolution to multicellular life such as plants. We conclude by utilizing the hypothesis to posit where life might also have emerged in habitats such as Mars or Saturn's icy moon Enceladus.“To postulate one fortuitously catalyzed reaction, perhaps catalyzed by a metal ion, might be reasonable, but to postulate a suite of them is to appeal to magic.”—Leslie Orgel

Evaluation of Computer Application using DEMATEL Method

Computer Application. Software, also known as a set of instructions or code created in a program to carry out a task or function on a computer, is referred to as an "application." Applications are end-user programs that assist users in performing several tasks on a computer, hence they play a significant part in a computer. The knowledge required to use application software on a computer is provided by a computer applications program. Word processing, spreadsheets, databases, desktop publishing, the Internet, and Windows operating systems are examples of applications. A computer is a handy instrument that can be used for decision-making, processing student data, creating manuals and references, and teaching and learning. Online learning also makes use of computers. occupations. Computers are used for budgeting, process control, and industrial research. Any computer's operating system is the most crucial piece of software. An operating system governs the operation of every computer system. Applications for computers facilitate communication, workflow, and efficiency. It makes sense that companies would wish to exploit them. However, all programs require intelligent users, as we well know. Companies seek qualified personnel who can reach their full potential. A utility system is a business-oriented system, such as a public ledger. DEMATEL (Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory).

Low-cost conditioned place preference setup including video recording and analysis of behaviour

The conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm is widely used in rodent research to test the rewarding and aversive properties of different stimuli. Despite its relative simplicity, commercially available CPP systems are often costly. Here we describe the construction of a CPP setup and a behavioral data analysis pipeline incorporating:• a CPP box which can be built in a single day by using widely available and affordable materials.• an open source computer system for data acquisition (based on Raspberry Pi).• a freely available behavioural analysis software.The behavioural analysis allows for measurement of both locomotor activity and time spent in a zone of interest. Including all components, our setup costs ~1/10 of the cost of the least expensive commercially available CPP boxes alone (not including data acquisition and analysis). We validated the setup by showing that a 4 mg/kg dose of amphetamine increases locomotor activity acutely in adolescent male mice and induces conditioned preference for the drug-paired compartment in the CPP test.

Čarolija bitka - promene identiteta u prozi i na filmu

The paper will focus on the representations of identity, self, fantasy and transformation in seemingly incomparable novels and films. The theoretical background of the analysis is partly based on Laura Mulvey's theory of "male gaze", along with various critical analyses of other processes that radically change the concept of identity, love, emotion, and desire in the modern world. The novel The Enchanted April and the film Her show that the gap dividing the imaginary self and the real world narrows as the protagonists tread into beautiful landscapes as imaginary territories that bring miraculous change of personalities and relationships. In this paper, Theodore Twombly and Lady Caroline Dester are seen primarily as fugitives from their respective realities of the year 2025 and the 1920's: while Theodore seeks solace in connecting to a computer operating system designed to function as a flawless emotional partner, Caroline retreats to a garden of a fascinating mansion San Salvatore in order to find her priorities and define her own identity, with the firm intention to become more than a beautiful object of male gaze and desire. The paper will explore the examples of hunger for intimacy in the modern age, as well as the human need to form romantic obsessive attachments to inanimate objects, places and landscapes.

The Application of Edge Computing Technology in the Collaborative Optimization of Intelligent Transportation System Based on Information Physical Fusion

Edge computing technology is an important computer operating system in China. It plays a key role in multi-system fusion and intelligent manufacturing, and can play a key role in training and testing of deep neural networks. The purpose of this paper is to study the application of edge computing technology in the collaborative optimization of intelligent transportation systems based on information and physical fusion. This article sets up monitoring points at different traffic intersections, and applies long-term and short-term memory networks to collect data at each traffic intersection. The DBN-SVR method model was used to detect the traffic flow of some intersections, and the edge computer technology was used to process the information signals generated by the intersections. The other portions of the intersections used traditional monitoring systems. By comparing the work efficiency and utility under the two methods, fitting data is performed, and mathematical statistics and mathematical analysis methods are used to verify the fitted data. The experimental data show that the edge computing technology can help the processing of traffic conditions in the intelligent transportation system integrated with information and physics, which has greatly improved the overall work efficiency of each system. Experimental data shows that intelligent transportation systems that integrate edge computing technology with information physics have improved transportation efficiency by about 20% and urban security by about 35%, which has a great effect on building smart cities and safe cities.

Dispersion of the number of failures in restoration processes

Optimal organization of the restoration process is of significant importance in the operation of technical, information and computer systems, since failures occurring during their operation lead to substantial negative consequences. In this paper, a formula for the variance of the number of failures is obtained for the general restoration process, which depends on the restoration functions (average number of failures) of the simple and general restoration processes. Also obtained are the formulas for the variances of the number of failures and restorations during the alternating restoration process, when along with the element’s time to failure, for example, the restoration time is taken into account. For an exponential distribution with a simple and general restoration process, formulas are written for the variance of the number of failures, as well as the Chebyshev inequality and the formula for the coefficient of variation of the number of failures for a simple restoration process. The paper presents an algorithm for obtaining dispersion in the form of series for the operation time distribution laws common to the dependability theory. The developed mathematics are intended for the definition and solution of various optimization problems of information and computer security, as well as in the operation of technical and information systems, software and formware information protection facilities affected by random failures, threats of attacks and security threats.

A Study on the Construction of a Culture Pedagogical Network Learning Space – The CASH Curriculum Idea

The booming information technology has brought non-negligible and irreversible great influence on our production and life styles, including the education sector. At present, although the teaching mode of culture pedagogy guarantees students’ overall grasp of culture pedagogy, students’ learning for culture pedagogy is not deep enough, and they can neither internalize relevant knowledge nor form the cure quality of culture pedagogy. Besides, the teaching effect is not entirely satisfactory. Thus, the teaching mode which is based on CASH curriculum idea and supported by information technology combines network learning space and utilizes the patent A Method to Achieve Auxiliary Operation in PPT Courseware Playing Process, and the classroom teaching quality evaluation method based on distance comparison were proposed in this study. In addition, the modeling process of network learning space was introduced. The patent A Method to Achieve Auxiliary Operation in PPT Courseware Playing Process, standardized method of distance grade evaluation model, modeling and computer operating system, and teaching case design process of CASH curriculum idea were applied. It was found through the experiment that, students are satisfied with the teaching mode of network learning space based on CASH curriculum idea, and consider that it plays a great role in the learning process, and both the teaching efficiency and teaching quality improve obviously.

CiiiDER: A tool for predicting and analysing transcription factor binding sites.

The availability of large amounts of high-throughput genomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic data has provided opportunity to understand regulation of the cellular transcriptome with an unprecedented level of detail. As a result, research has advanced from identifying gene expression patterns associated with particular conditions to elucidating signalling pathways that regulate expression. There are over 1,000 transcription factors (TFs) in vertebrates that play a role in this regulation. Determining which of these are likely to be controlling a set of genes can be assisted by computational prediction, utilising experimentally verified binding site motifs. Here we present CiiiDER, an integrated computational toolkit for transcription factor binding analysis, written in the Java programming language, to make it independent of computer operating system. It is operated through an intuitive graphical user interface with interactive, high-quality visual outputs, making it accessible to all researchers. CiiiDER predicts transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) across regulatory regions of interest, such as promoters and enhancers derived from any species. It can perform an enrichment analysis to identify TFs that are significantly over- or under-represented in comparison to a bespoke background set and thereby elucidate pathways regulating sets of genes of pathophysiological importance.

Why do PAM projects fail?

Every computer operating system and business application needs certain user accounts to function. There's no getting away from that. Accounts with higher levels of permissions (often, but not limited to, administrator accounts) are often referred to as privileged accounts. And these privileged accounts have almost unlimited access across computer systems. As a result, anyone with access to these computer accounts also has access to highly sensitive company information and once these credentials are targeted, they can easily lead to a breach of a company's most valuable assets, from databases to social media and unstructured data.

Microservices and Machine Learning Algorithms for Adaptive Green Buildings

In recent years, the use of services for Open Systems development has consolidated and strengthened. Advances in the Service Science and Engineering (SSE) community, promoted by the reinforcement of Web Services and Semantic Web technologies and the presence of new Cloud computing techniques, such as the proliferation of microservices solutions, have allowed software architects to experiment and develop new ways of building open and adaptable computer systems at runtime. Home automation, intelligent buildings, robotics, graphical user interfaces are some of the social atmosphere environments suitable in which to apply certain innovative trends. This paper presents a schema for the adaptation of Dynamic Computer Systems (DCS) using interdisciplinary techniques on model-driven engineering, service engineering and soft computing. The proposal manages an orchestrated microservices schema for adapting component-based software architectural systems at runtime. This schema has been developed as a three-layer adaptive transformation process that is supported on a rule-based decision-making service implemented by means of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. The experimental development was implemented in the Solar Energy Research Center (CIESOL) applying the proposed microservices schema for adapting home architectural atmosphere systems on Green Buildings.

Rule-Based Modeling Using Wildcards in the Smoldyn Simulator.

Many biological molecules exist in multiple variants, such as proteins with different posttranslational modifications, DNAs with different sequences, and phospholipids with different chain lengths. Representing these variants as distinct species, as most biochemical simulators do, leads to the problem that the number of species, and chemical reactions that interconvert them, typically increase combinatorially with the number of ways that the molecules can vary. This can be alleviated by "rule-based modeling methods," in which software generates the chemical reaction network from relatively simple "rules." This chapter presents a new approach to rule-based modeling. It is based on wildcards that match to species names, much as wildcards can match to file names in computer operating systems. It is much simpler to use than the formal rule-based modeling approaches developed previously but can lead to unintended consequences if not used carefully. This chapter demonstrates rule-based modeling with wildcards through examples for signaling systems, protein complexation, polymerization, nucleic acid sequence copying and mutation, the "SMILES" chemical notation, and others. The method is implemented in Smoldyn, a spatial and stochastic biochemical simulator, for both generate-first and on-the-fly expansion, meaning whether the reaction network is generated before or during the simulation.

The Problem of Designing the User Interface in the Interactive Websites (website of the Faculty of Fine Arts and Ways of Developing it)

The interactive websites are the interaction between the product and the user, and interactive design is based on the user interface for communication and how the interface responds to the user and how to help him to achieve his goals and enjoy the use of the interface. The interactive design is based on the design of interactive programs, i.e., programs that directly interact with the user, taking into account the different culture of the audience, the age group and many other factors. An example for the use of the user interface: Web designs, smartphone application designs and it even includes computer operating systems and electronic game interface. The interaction is the communication between the source and the receiver. The websites contain many types of interaction that vary from website to another by type, such as social networking websites that allow the user to interact with other users. The website has become a means of interaction between users and not limited to the content of the website. Some websites allow the user to add text, images, and all multimedia and in turn allow other users to interact with the user's content and to see reactions and discussions about that content. Here is the problem of the current research represented by the following question: Is the design of the user interface is a shortcut and simplification for the user during the use? The importance of research is the benefit of the workers in the field of interactive design represented by the visual communication. The objective of the research is as follows: Identifying the user interface and its ability to meet the needs of the user and submitting a design proposal. The limits of the current research include: Websites of the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Baghdad, Ministry of Higher Education of Iraq (2016-2017). Then, specific terms were defined for the subject matter (user interface, interactive designs). Concerning the theoretical framework and the previous studies, the theoretical framework consisted of two sections: the user interface and the interactive design. The most important indicators that emerged from the theoretical framework have been annexed. It includes two previous studies. As for the research procedures, the researcher adopted the descriptive approach (the method of content analysis) in the analysis of the research sample which is suitable to the research objectives. The research sample was chosen intentionally. The researcher came up with a number of results: Building websites depends on the main elements in the design and it applies to the websites in general, but their use can be changed according to the type of website, and although the website included elements yet they have not been fully, effectively and usefully exploited by the user. The research came up with a set of conclusions such as: the websites that give the user the freedom to interact, use, share opinions and engage in discussions are the ones that serve the user and give him the freedom to express. The researcher came up with a set of recommendations, including: paying attention to the principles and foundations of design in general and the structural principles in the design of interactive websites in particular.

Estimating the Nutrient Balance of Multicomponent Meat Products Using Information Technologies

A computer system for the quality and nutrient balance assessment of multicomponent meat products, which is used for calculating the quantitative and qualitative indicators of food products, has been examined. In the computer system, the amino acid qualitative composition is determined by the comparative redundancy factor, the amino acid composition differences, the utility, and the biological value. The main block of the computer system is the Food Product Chemical Composition general reference database, which consists of five subblocks: the amino acid, fatty acid, carbohydrate, vitamin, and mineral composition datasets. In order to develop the database, the object-oriented environments with the application of the Delphi- 7 desktop relational database management system are used. The second main block of the computer system is the Product Design block. An example of the computer system operation to assess the quality of the amino acid balance in the emulsified meat products (small sausages) is given. Four-percent soy protein incorporated into the formulation has been shown to change the main raw material composition (decreasing the secondgrade trimmed beef content from 48 to 35% and the semifat pork content from 30 to 23%). No significant change in the amino acid composition, the biological value (comprising 90.7 and 89.58% before and after adding, respectively), the amino acid score difference factor (comprising 9.3 and 10.43% before and after adding, respectively), the comparative redundancy factor (comprising 0.33 and 0.38 unit fractions, respectively), and the utility (9.16 and 9.04 unit fractions, respectively) has been revealed.

Community Based Flash Flood Early Warning System: a Low-cost Technology for Nepalese Mountains

Every year, flood impose substantial economic, social and environmental cost on Nepalese community through direct damage to residential, commercial, educational and structures. Moreover, the flood destroys animal farm, commercial stock and records and other content of the building and pollutes the water. Early Warning Systems are important to save such lives and properties which involves computer, satellite data and high accurate operating system but this system is very costly in terms of installation as well as operation and maintenance leading to hindrance in the sustainability of the system. However, high-tech technology is very expensive and not feasible in Nepal and therefore low-cost and easy operating system is needed in the rural parts of Nepal. The system includes Solar panel, Siren, Ultrasonic sensor, processing unit, and battery. The ultrasonic sensor sense water level and the siren will automatically start. The threshold can be set up according to the space and time. Bulletin of Department of Geology, vol. 20-21, 2018, pp: 87-92

Rio: a personal storage system in multi-device and cloud

With the era of big data coming, whether in computer operating system or mobile operating system, the shortcomings of traditional way of file management become increasingly obvious. For example, data access and data retrieval across devices are very inconvenient. At the same time, storage space in disks and cloud storage services is underutilized. To address these issues, we propose Rio, a personal storage system in multi-device and cloud storage. Cloud storage services, treated as one storage device in Rio, together with shared devices form a storage pool. In Rio, users can store, retrieve and access data through RESTful URI, no matter in which device or cloud services data are stored. Rio also sets up redundant storage in idle space to improve disk storage utilization. In the experiment, we compared Rio with U disk, FTP, Dropbox and other common data sharing methods. Then we tested Rio’s data access performance and system overhead. The results show that Rio increases the accessibility of data greatly and only costs small system overhead.

Generation and communication of dynamic maps using light projection

Abstract. Many accidents are caused by miscommunication between traffic participants. Much research is being conducted in the area of car to car and car to infrastructure communication in order to eliminate this cause of accidents. How-ever, less attention is paid to the question how the behavior of a car can be communicated to pedestrians. Especially considering automated traffic, there is a lack of communication between cars and pedestrians. In this paper, we address the question how an autonomously driving car can inform pedestrians about its intentions. Especially in case of highly automated driving, making eye contact with a driver will give no clue about his or her intensions. We developed a prototype which continuously informs pedestrians about the intentions of the vehicle by projecting visual patterns onto the ground. Furthermore, the system communicates its interpretation of the observed situation to the pedestrians to warn them or to encourage them to perform a certain action. In order to communicate adaptively, the vehicle needs to develop an understanding of the dynamics of a city to know what to expect in certain situations and what speed is appropriate. To support this, we created a dynamic map, which estimates the number of pedestrians and cyclists in a certain area, which is then used to determine how ‘hazardous’ the area is. This dynamic map is obtained from measurement data from many time instances, in contrast to the static car navigation maps, which are prevalent today. Apart from being used for communication purposes, the dynamic map can also influence the speed of a car, be it manually or autonomously driven. Adapting the speed in hazardous areas will avoid accidents where a car drives too fast, so that neither a human nor a computer-operated system would be able to stop in time.
