...clients though the website and through kiosks located in the offices. McBride wants to reduce the number of employees needed to handle client accounts using this new business plan. The new plan will increase the need for data protection to ensure that customer’s personal data is kept same during all points of the application and loan process. Implementing online loan applications means customer information will be input into web forms and then transferred to the company database. This creates the potential for hackers to steal or corrupt the data and to use it to gain access to other company servers. In order to prevent this from occurring and limiting the damage done in the case of a successful attack McBride must implement a Prevention, Detection, and Recovery plan. Prevention A prevention plan for McBride will be need to include protection for the company servers and protection for client information. The first step in this plan is to establish a demilitarized zone (DMZ) to separate the web server from the company databases and other company servers. The most secure way to implement this is to use two firewalls. The first one will be set to allow necessary traffic to the web server and to block malicious code. It will have a looser configuration to ensure that clients do not have issues gaining access to needed applications or services. The second firewall will be set to stricter configurations to prevent any malicious code that gets past the first firewall from entering the...

...Autism Autism The term “autism” comes from the Greek word “autos” meaning “self” and describes a person who is removed from social interaction (WebMD, 2010).The term autism was first used around 1911 by a Swiss physiatrist named Eugen Bleuler referring to symptoms of schizophrenia. The term autism was not used in the United States until the 1940s. Leo Kanner identified the key feature of “autistic aloneness” among his patients, describing their apparent reluctance to engage in social interaction with other people (Autism, Psychology of, 2005). Autism was thought to be the result of unloving mothers. Not until the 1960s and 1970s, a separate understanding of autism emerged. Dr. Bernard Rimland, father of an autistic son and founder of the Autism Research Institute, helped the medical community understand autism as a biological disorder (Autism Speaks, 2010). Early treatment during the 1960s and 1970s has included medications such as Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD), electric shock, and behavior change techniques (pain and punishment). Behavior therapy and highly controlled learning environments became the primary treatments during the 1980s and 1990s. During the 1990s a concern arose that the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine contributed to the development of Autism, but a study published in 1998 that theorized there could be a link has been retracted because there is little evidence to support that theory (Mayo Clinic, 2010). Other common myths include autistic...

...Review of Outlier Detection Methods INTRODUCTION Outliers or anomalies can exist in all types of collected data. The presence of outliers may indicate something sinister such as unauthorised system access or fraudulent activity, or may be a new and previously unidentified occurrence. Whatever the cause of these outliers, it is important they are detected so appropriate action can be taken to minimise their harm if malignant or to exploit a newly discovered opportunity. Chandola, Banerjee and Kumar (2007) conducted a comprehensive survey of outlier detection techniques, which highlighted the importance of detection across a wide variety of domains. Their survey described the categories of outlier detection, applications of detection and detection techniques. Chandola et al. identified three main categories of outlier detection - supervised, semi-supervised and unsupervised detection. Each category utilises different detection techniques such as classification, clustering, nearest neighbour and statistical. Each category and technique has several strengths and weaknesses compared with other outlier detection methods. This review provides initial information on data labelling and classification before examining some of the existing outlier detection techniques within each of the three categories. It then looks at the use of combining detection techniques before comparing and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Finally, a new classification technique...

...(Name of Professor) (Name of Course) (Date of Submission) Health Education Program for AAPI Women Health education programs are important for creating awareness on health and screening for diseases. Health education for screening and treating are particularly important for Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women, where their presence or availability for this population is limited (Fang, Ma, & Tan, 2011). This limited presence creates a disadvantage for the population who has been identified as having the highest occurrence rates for breast and cervical cancer in the United States (Dang, Lee, & Han, 2010). The high occurrence and low screening rates for cervical and breast cancer highlight the need to develop a comprehensive health program that caters to the need of AAPI women. A community-based health education program is proposed for AAPI women. This program addresses the factors hindering screening of breast and cervical cancer and proposes strategies for community involvement, management of relationships, enablers, nurturers, and cultivation of positive cultural empowerment. The success of this program will reduce mortality and morbidity of AAPI women from cervical and breast cancer. Creating a Health Education Program for AAPI Women A community-based health education program will be effective in reducing the mortality and morbidity of AAPI women from cervical and breast cancer. This program would provide optimal benefits for the women and the health...

But secured data communication over internet and any other network is always under threat of intrusions and misuses. So Intrusion Detection Systems have become a needful component in terms of computer and network security. There are various approaches being utilized in intrusion detections, but unfortunately any of the systems so far is not completely flawless. So, the quest of betterment continues. In this progression, here we present an Intrusion Detection System (IDS), by applying genetic algorithm (GA) to efficiently detect various types of network intrusions. Parameters and evolution processes for GA are discussed in details and implemented. This approach uses evolution theory to information evolution in order to filter the...

...delving into further research. I take this opportunity to describe my educational background and career objectives, which have motivated me to pursue research career in Electrical Engineering. My first contact with electrical engineering was in high school when I took an elective course for the same. It was the time when technology had begun to make an impact on the lives of people in India. The design projects that I had taken kept my interest in the field of electronic circuit design and I developed a strong liking for the subject. My interest grew strong enough for my taking it as my future profession, as a continuation of this I opted for Electronics discipline during my Engineering. Further seeing the demands of the future, I decided to train myself professionally in software, as this is the part I thought would integrate with the future electronics. Keeping the scenario in mind I opted for software industry. Now when I think I have enough knowledge of it I have decided to pursue my career in electronics. The days of my undergraduate study helped me to get sound knowledge and a firm grasps over the principles underlying the course of Electronics and Communication Engineering and has equipped me with the necessary prerequisites for a formal graduate course. Take stock of the fluidity and the fast rate of obsolescence of the developments in this field, I have always strive hard to keep myself abreast of the latest trends by going through the journals of American Society for Electrical...
