Digital evidence discovery of networked multimedia smart devices based on social networking activities

Unquestionably, networked multimedia smart devices are commonly adopted in contemporary ubiquitous wireless computing era with unprecedented evolving pace in terms of mobility, portability, and pervasiveness. Regrettably, those technology-oriented gadgets are phenomenally exploited by cyber criminals or get involved in computer-related incidents unknowingly. Substantively, the detection, prevention, and the related digital forensics of the above scenarios are becoming tremendously urgent both in public and private sectors. Therefore, in this research, we investigate the scenario when state-of-the-art wireless communication technologies are integrated with the networked smart devices where digital evidences may exist and they could be disclosed when appropriate standard operating procedures are suitably applied. Accordingly, in this paper, a PDA with the built-in GPS navigation functionality via the ubiquitous Wi-Fi connection to a popular social networking platform (facebook) is cross examined concerning the related digital evidence collecting and discovering in terms of revealing previous facebook user accounts on the mobile device without shutting off the power. The research provides a generic framework for the digital forensics specialists to contemplate when the networked smart devices are involved in the related criminal investigation cases especially when omnipresent social networking platforms are becoming the new avenue for the escalating, stringent, and heinous cybercrimes.

Effect of incipient removal of hydrogen through palladium membrane on the conversion of methane steam reforming: Experimental and modeling

This paper presents a mathematical model based on the reaction rate expressions to describe the displacement of methane conversion in the steam reforming. The effect of several parameters including weight hourly space velocity (WHSV), load-to-surface ratio, reaction pressure, hydrogen partial pressure in permeate side and reaction temperature were investigated. Simulation and experimental results showed that a conversion higher than 80% could be achieved in a palladium membrane reactor at reaction temperature of 500 °C relative to 850 °C in a conventional fixed bed reactor (FBR). Besides, the yield of CO (<2%) in membrane reactor was much lower than that (>50%) in the FBR, which indicated the significant depression of CO production in use of membrane reactor.

LIQUID PHASE TRANSPORT PROPERTIES IN A HIGH PRESSURE PACKED COLUMN

A mathematical model of fluid flow and mass transfer in a packed bed was derived and used to evaluate the liquid phase axial dispersion and mass transfer coefficients under high pressure conditions. The least-squares method was used to evaluate the rate parameters from experimental breakthrough curves, and the agreement between the concentration curves predicted from rate parameters and those measured experimentally was good. Experiments were performed at 20 and 200°C with water as a solvent and nonporous soda-lime glass beads as packing. Although the axial dispersion coefficient was independent of temperature and pressure, the mass transport parameters were found to be pressure dependent.     

The viscoelastic properties of rubber–resin blends. III. The effect of resin concentration

The viscoelastic properties of a rubber–resin blend, which influences performance of the blend as a pressure-sensitive adhesive, depend upon the structure of the resin as well as its molecular weight. The effect of the concentration of a compatible resin in the blend was examined using a mechanical spectrometer. Four types of resins were used. These are the rosin esters, polyterpenes, pure monomer resins such as polystyrene and poly(vinyl cyclohexane), and petroleum stream resins. Each was examined in blends with both natural rubber and styrene–butadiene rubber over a range of concentrations. It is shown that the temperature of the tan δ peak for compatible systems can be predicted by the Fox equation, T = W₁T + W₂T, where W₁ and W₂ are the weight fractions of the resin and rubber, respectively, and the T_g's are the tan δ peak temperatures in K. The plateau modulus G for a blend can be identified as the G′ value in the rubbery plateau at the point where tan δ is at a minimum. The relationship between G and G, the plateau modulus for the undiluted elastomer, is shown to be proportional to the volume fraction of the elastomer raised to the 2.3–2.4 power for natural rubber with six different compatible resins. The exponent for styrene–butadiene rubber is 2.5–2.6 with four different resins. Using these relationships, both the tan δ peak temperature and plateau modulus can be predicted for a rubber–resin system from data on the unmodified elastomer and on one typical rubber–resin blend.     

Relay selection with feedback beamforming information through designed sector sweep report frame for mmWave WPANs

This paper proposes a novel relay selection strategy based on the feedback beamforming （BF） information through designed sector sweep （SSW） report frame for millimeter-wave （mmWave） wireless personal networks （WPANs）. First, an SSW report frame compatible with IEEE 802.11ad standard is designed. Second, an approach collecting instantaneous channel state information （CSI） overheard during BF is devised. Third, with the aim of minimizing the outage probability and maximizing the overall network throughput capacity, the optimal relay selection issue for non-line-of-sight （NLoS） links is formulated as a bipartite graph, and Kuhn Munkres （KM） algorithm is provided to resolve it. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results show, with CSI considering NLoS conditions and selected relays according to the overall network throughput capacity maximization principle, the improvements achieved over opportunistic relay selection strategy in terms of overall network throughput capacity and outage probability with minimal modifications to IEEE 802.1lad.     

Design of a broadband dielectric resonator antenna and its application in low sensitivity frequency beam‐scanning array with wide scanning angle and suppressed sidelobes

In this paper, a broadband dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with a simple H‐slot feeding structure is proposed. The broad bandwidth (~45%) and uni‐directional radiation enable this DRA suitable to work as a radiation element in the construction of a beam‐scanning array with not only low frequency sensitivity which is important for accurate angle estimation of in‐coming targets, but also a wide scanning range. Moreover, stable coupling coefficients are established around all the above three resonances with respect to its corresponding feeding line, ensuring a low sidelobe level (SLL) across the whole operating frequency range. In order to realize such a DRA, a latticed rectangular structure is utilized to generate the lower two resonances, while the upper resonance is generated by its H‐shaped feeding slot. The shape of the latticed dielectric resonator is also modified according to a 3‐D printed fixing structure for an accurate installation. A 20‐element beam‐scanning prototype is demonstrated and manufactured. The range of scanning angle is from ?36° to +13° within the bandwidth of 10 to 16 GHz, corresponding to a frequency sensitivity of only 122.5 MHz/^o. The achieved SLL are smaller than 19 dB for all scanning beams. The above performance indicates that, this array is very suitable for near‐range radar systems requiring an accurate angle estimation.
