Show moreIn today’s world, everything is becoming wireless. User-friendliness and security have always been on two opposite sides of the old-fashioned scale when you give priority to one the second will get hit on somewhat level. This paper concentrates on the same thing in the case of printers. As wireless technology has been made available in the printers and they have got cheaper in recent time, the numbers of households owning the printers have increased dramatically in recent years. New printers use Wi-Fi direct or Wi-Fi AP technology to give wireless access to the user. Wi-Fi P2P also uses the same 802.11 protocol as Wi-Fi AP to help the user to print wirelessly; by directly connecting to or by directly sending commands and documents to the printers. We use a printer to print and scan important documents, which makes it a necessity, that the whole thing is secured. In this paper, I have tried to do analysis on possible security issues with wireless printers with the only wireless connection. The tests include the case where the bad guy will try to prevent the user to use the printer (DoS), from a distance and the case where the bad guy will try to sniff the packets or say important documents that the user is trying to print. I have tried to include different printers like HP, Brother, Canon to do testing, to get the overall idea of security in wireless printers. The first part includes the way of authentication available and the protocols used by the printers and the second part includes the possible ways to get bypass the security and recreate the printing materials that were printed by the user.

Show moreDevice-to-device (D2D) network has now become a standardized feature in many mobile devices, by which mobile devices can communicate with each other even when internet access is not available. Because D2D network is expected to be an intrinsic part of the Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile device is the smartest and the most advanced commercial device in everyday usage, the D2D feature and related security protocols can influence the design and implementation of many other IoT devices. While D2D network provides tangible benefits to users, it also raises the security risks of information leaking. Our work performs an in-depth systematical security analysis on 802.11 based D2D network among commercial devices, including personal mobile devices such as phones and tablet, as well as business POS and printers. In this paper, we focus on most popular apps in the Google Play Store, the best selling printers in the market and the most widely adopted commercial POS devices for small businesses. Our analysis reveals some critical vulnerabilities. The key findings are multi-fold. First, the current mobile D2D network framework established on 802.11 protocol has significant flaw of over-privileged issue. Second, we have identified that data transfer over D2D network can be eavesdropped. Furthermore, we exploit the identified framework flaws to construct multiple proof-of-concept attacks and we conclude the paper with security lessons and suggestions of possible solutions against the identified security issues.

Title: Efficiency of Stratification for Ensemble Reduction based on docking scores

Show moreMolecular docking has been widely used in structure-based drug design to virtually screen large chemical libraries to predict the prefer conformations ligands that could bind the target site. Protein flexibility is a major issue that could be solved by ensemble docking which is docking to ‘ensemble’ of protein rigid conformations, such as snapshots obtained by molecular dynamics simulations. Our group has developed a method called ‘Efficiency of Stratification’ to evaluate a number of common snapshot selection strategies using a quality metric from stratified sampling (Xie et al. [19]). Docking was performed to four proteins and with each ligand numbers sets of up to five hundred ligands. In this paper, we generated distance matrices based on docking score to analysis the performance of the efficiency of stratification method. We observed that most docking score based score-based distance matrices have had better performance than structure-based distance matrices and with including any structure-based component overwhelms the docking-score component. Only a few ligands are required to get a good distance matrix.

Show moreThe current scientific consensus is that changes in greenhouse gas emissions will have wide-ranging effects on the natural environment as well as on human society and world economies. Cutting green house gas emissions could be achieved by switching the majority of power production to renewable sources, like wind and solar. However, the intermittent nature of renewable sources will require special attention when integrating into the electric power system. The notion of a smart grid is to introduce new dispatch capable sources as well as provide mechanisms for consumers to be responsive to power availability. One way a smart grid communicates its objectives is through the price of electricity. Economic Model Predictive Control (EMPC) can utilize forecasts of electricity prices to determine operating policies for dispatch capable generators and flexible consumers. While EMPC in the context of variable electricity prices can reduce costs (or increase the revenue), operational flexibility will usually require equipment upgrade, and add to the capital cost of the system. In this thesis an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) will be used to illustrate potential dispatch capabilities, the benefits of EMPC based operation, and the challenges associated with process design in the context of smart grid coordinated operation. First it is assumed that dispatch enabling equipment is available. While EMPC can provide an increase in the revenue during plant operation, it is not amenable to the equipment design problem. While the method of ELOC can be used for integrated process design and control, we must first show that ELOC performs similar to EMPC and that it can serve as a surrogate. Finally, the ELOC based equipment design problem is formulated, which optimizes with respect to operating as well as capital costs.

Show moreI am proposing to create a student housing hub for the various architectural colleges within the city of Chicago (IIT, UIC, SAIC & Colombia College). I am imagining not only making a physical connection but also creating a digital environment where students can collaborate, network and share ideas at their leisure. The phrase “living-learning environment”, comes to mind when thinking of my project, with so many advancements in technology, within architecture and within the public domain our learning has extended beyond the classroom. Although these schools were chosen primarily for their architectural distinction, the hub will welcome students across all disciplines.

Show moreAs Latino immigrant families assimilate in to U.S. Society there is the risk that future generations will not learn about their history, culture and traditions. Many Latin people born in the United States do not learn about their heritage, they just adapt to the American lifestyle. There is a need for new infrastructure that works as cultural exchange and support for this community. This Cultural Center is intended to be part of the existing downtown cultural infrastructure. The idea is to include it as part of the cultural and educational organizations in order to integrate it with tourism.
