Deep learning approach to security enforcement in cloud workflow orchestration

Author(s): El-Kassabi HT; Serhani MA; Masud MM; Shuaib K; Khalil K;

Supporting security and data privacy in cloud workflows has attracted significant research attention. For example, private patients' data managed by a workflow deployed on the cloud need to be protected, and communication of such data across multiple stakeholders should also be secured. In general, security threats in cloud environments have been stud ...

A multi-center, randomized, 12-month, parallel-group, feasibility study to assess the acceptability and preliminary impact of family navigation plus usual care versus usual care on attrition in managing pediatric obesity: a study protocol

Author(s): Ball GDC; O' Neill MG; Noor R; Alberga A; Azar R; Buchholz A; Enright M; Geller J; Ho J; Holt NL; Lebel T; Rosychuk RJ; Tarride JE; Zenlea I;

Background: Pediatric obesity management can be successful, but some families discontinue care prematurely (i.e., attrition), limiting treatment impact. Attrition is often a consequence of barriers and constraints that limit families' access to obesity management. Family Navigation (FN) can i ...

Cross-collection latent Beta-Liouville allocation model training with privacy protection and applications

Author(s): Luo Z; Amayri M; Fan W; Bouguila N;

Cross-collection topic models extend previous single-collection topic models, such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), to multiple collections. The purpose of cross-collection topic modeling is to model document-topic representations and reveal similarities between each topic and differences among groups. However, the restriction of Dirichlet prior and ...

A "biphasic glycosyltransferase high-throughput screen" identifies novel anthraquinone glycosides in the diversification of phenolic natural products

Author(s): Mohideen FI; Kwan DH;

The sugar moieties of many glycosylated small molecule natural products are essential for their biological activity. Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are the enzymes responsible for installing these sugar moieties on a variety of biomolecules. Several GTs that are active on natural products are inherently substrate-promiscuous and thus serve as useful tools in ...

Rheological Assessment of Oil-Xanthan Emulsions in Terms of Complex, Storage, and Loss Moduli

Author(s): Ghannam MT; Selim MYE; Zekri AY; Esmail N;

This experimental assessment was carried out to study the viscoelastic performance of crude oil-xanthan emulsions employing a RheoStress RS100 rheometer. Crude oil with a concentration range of 0-75% by volume was used to prepare the oil-gum emulsions. Two xanthan gums of Sigma and Kelzan were added in the emulsions with concentration ranges of 0-104 ppm. ...

Evaluating Emotional Outcomes of Medical Students in Pediatric Emergency Medicine Telesimulation

Author(s): Nomura O; Sunohara M; Watanabe I; Itoh T;

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has challenged the feasibility of traditional in-person simulation-based clinical training due to the public health recommendation on social distancing. During the pandemic, telesimulation training was implemented to avoid multiple students and faculties gathering in confined spaces. While medical trainees& ...

Geospatial analysis reveals a hotspot of fecal bacteria in Canadian prairie lakes linked to agricultural non-point sources

Author(s): Oliva A; Onana VE; Garner RE; Kraemer SA; Fradette M; Walsh DA; Huot Y;

Lakes are sentinels of environmental changes within their watersheds including those induced by a changing climate and anthropogenic activities. In particular, contamination originating from point or non-point sources (NPS) within watersheds might be reflected in changes in the bacterial composition of lake water. We assessed the abundance of potentially ...
