    Energy efficiency analysis of cache-enabled cooperative dense small cell networks.

    By: Jinbo Liu; Shaohui Sun. IET Communications. 2017, Vol. 11 Issue 4, p477-482. 6p

    “Small cell technologies deployed densely will become increasingly
    important in terms of providing more uniform and higher data rates
    for mobile users in the future 5th generation (5G) networks due to
    its smaller cell size and lower transmit power, which can reduce the
    network congestion”

    10 Reasons to Get Excited About the Advent of 5G Wireless.

    By: Reisinger, Don. eWeek. 02/27/2017, p1-1. 1p.

    “Speed is arguably one of the more important 5G features. According to the Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance, which defines the technology’s requirements, 5G should be capable at a minimum of delivering speeds of 100Mbps in metropolitan areas and “tens of megabits per second” in smaller areas. Carrier tests have already achieved 1Gbps and faster.”

    Hence, mobile network operators (MNOs) have to increase network investments, including licensed spectrum, cell sites and backhaul infrastructure to improve network capacity and fulfil users’ needs. Besides, with 5G era coming, the coexistence of multiple radio access technologies (RATs) requires an efficient methodology to coordinate these networks.

    “The Fifth-Generation cellular system is a work in progress; the Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is grinding away at the standards details. A final standard is scheduled for the 2019-2020 timeframe, although one carrier (AT&T) is pushing for earlier standard definition in 2017. That may not happen, but it shows the need and interest for faster systems with increased user capacity.”

    “The different types of attacks in cloud computing have varying levels of impact on the operations of a business and the potential to interrupt the same. Hence, different levels of attention and consideration is afforded the attacks existing in an identified context. Essentially, the main concern with respect to the use of cloud computing in business is the loss of compromise of data. Whereas each of the different attacks leads to the loss or compromise of client information, the prevention of each remains a contextualized approach. Denial of service attacks is arguably among the leading security threats in corporate engagements. Such attacks cast a strain on the dedicated cloud computing resources of an organization and thus leading to additional costs. Ideally, cloud computing operates through dedication of storage space and computing bandwidth to connected users. Where such resources are under attack in the course of denial of service, the effectiveness of the network to the particular users remains hampered.

    “There are many factors that influence the decision making in a supply chain, leading
    to the successful operation of various activities in a supply chain. Hence, it is important
    that the information is available instantaneously for making a quick decision. Quick
    decisions help in fulfilling customer demands quickly. With the existing vendors
    catering to the regular supplies, new partners offering value-added services need to be
    integrated. This also causes a change in the business relationship from long-term
    contracts to short-term contracts. This leads to an event-driven management for dynamically creating and delivering individualized products and services. Developments
    in the business world and information technology have enabled decision makers to
    have a sharper focus on various issues. Globalization of the supply chain activities in
    many companies has led to adoption of information technology. Over the years, various
    information technologies have been developed, and today, the world looks at cloud
    computing techniques as one of the major development in IT that can facilitate quick
    decision making. Today, various Information Technology solutions are available for
    managing the supply chain services, and hence there is a need to evaluate the services
    in terms of their importance. Cloud service offers various customization facilities at
    lower price and hence is a potential technique to manage the Supply Chain Network
    (SCN). A cloud service integrated into the supply chain network offering various supply
    chain solutions is referred to as Cloud Supply Chain as a Service (CSCaaS) and the entire
    network of supply chain is referred to as Cloud Supply Chain Network (CSCN).”

    “The problem of access control on outsourced data to `honest but curious’ cloud servers has received considerable attention, especially in scenarios involving potentially huge sets of data les, were re-encryption and retransmission by the data owner may not be acceptable.Considering the user privacy and data security in cloud environment, in this chapter, a solution is proposed to achieve flexible and fine-grained access control on outsourced data les. In particular, the problem of defining and assigning keys to users is concerned. The access policies and users’ information are hidden to the third-party cloud servers. The proposed scheme is partially based on the observation that, in practical application scenarios each user
    can be associated with a set of attributes which are meaningful in the access policy and data le context. The access policy can thus be defined as a logical expression formula over different attribute sets to reflect the scope of data les that the kind of users is allowed to access. As any
    access policy can be represented using a logical expression formula, fine-grained access control can be accomplished.”

    “The number of mobile devices, end-users and mobile applications has catapulted in the current decade. Many more people have smartphones with wireless connections to the internet even if they do not have a personal computer. The smartphone market is driven by the mobile applications like iPhone apps, Google apps etc. Driven by the mobile apps, smartphones are becoming popular and according to ABI Research [10] by the end of 2013 there will be 1.4 billion smartphone users in the world and increasingly more number of people will switch to smartphones in near future. These smartphones include advanced application programming interface (API) to include third party applications. Recent data shows [11] voice traffic is only 2% of the total wireless traffic in North America and the rest 98% is for mobile application data.

    “One of the earliest thinkers to deal with the notion that we now call private property was the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. In his work Politics, Aristotle pointed out the tendency of people not to respect or maintain property that was public. Likewise, he noted, when people are required to share equally both the burdens and rewards of property ownership, there is a high likelihood that they will become displeased over disparities in workloads and rewards. While humans came into conflict over many issues, Aristotle observed, they were especially likely to do so over issues arising from common ownership of property.” (2008, p.241)

    “Urban Castles, by independent scholar Jared Day, is a history of New York City’s tenements, and it reminds us of the importance of the historical study of law. In rich detail, it explores how tenants and landlords struggled with one another over city housing, and thus we learn whence came now taken-for-granted legal forms such as the security deposit, the standardized lease, and rent control laws. Too often, property rights are analyzed in law schools in terms of economic theories offering little appreciation for the historical, human, and social forces that have shaped legal phenomena. Thus, first-year property professors lecture law students about how the words “rent control” figure in a theoretical melody buzzing with phrases like Pareto optimality, zero transaction costs, and efficient breaches. In contrast with this cool and sleek tune, Urban Castles registers real estate law in the cacophony of rent strikes, socialists and communists, taxpayers’ association’s, judicial activism, and government intervention.” (Notaro. 2001, p. 517)

United States.2 My choice of the word “acknowledge” is a neutral term. It is not intended to signify concurrence or celebration. Whren puts the Supreme Court squarely in the middle of the ongoing conflict: Whren fostered the condition that resulted in the current conflicts: racial policing.

    “Prior to Terry v. Ohio, law enforcement was widely trusted to use common sense, professional discretion and generous legal cause to detain, question and, if necessary, search individuals. Because of questions regarding Fourth Amendment Violations, the courts codified the standards that police must use when stopping and/or searching people. Without a brand-new Supreme Court interpretation, the very sensible and reasonable standard established by the Terry v. Ohio case for stops and searches on the street will remain. The Supreme Court and the U.S. Constitution allow police officers to stop people based on the legal standard of “reasonable suspicion” and utilize a “frisk” search for weapons only” (Claxton, 2013, p 35).

    “The Supreme Court’s decision in Moncrieffe started me thinking in earnest about the relationship between the criminal justice system and immigration removal. In that case, Adrian Moncrieffe, a lawful perma­nent resident, was facing removal from the United States based on a
    criminal conviction for possession of the equivalent of two to three marijuana cigarettes. Addressing a straightforward question of immigration law, the Court found that the U.S. government could not remove Moncrieffe from the country.’ The Court specifically held that, because the crime in question did not constitute an “aggravated felony ,” mandatory removal was not justified” (Johnson, 2015, p 701).

    Court systems rethink the use of financial bail, which some say penalizes the poor.
    Periodical
    By: Laird, Lorelei. ABA Journal. Apr 2016, p 1-1.

    “Stories like Wise’s illustrate why court systems are rethinking the use of financial bail. Concerned about the chain of negative effects bail can have on people of modest means, as well as its contribution to jail overcrowding and costs, jurisdictions around the nation are reforming bail. In 2013, Kentucky was among the earliest to adopt a pretrial system replacing cash bond with risk assessments and pretrial supervision. In 2014, New Jersey voters agreed to a similar system.
    Last summer, New York City announced it was replacing money bond for low-risk defendants with text reminders to appear in court and counseling as appropriate. The state’s chief judge, Jonathan Lippman, announced in October that New York would encourage judges to use alternatives to financial bond. In Texas, Chief Justice Nathan Hecht formed a committee in June to study whether financial bond can be replaced with an evidence-based screening process.
    Even the U.S. Department of Justice has come out strongly against the use of financial bail. Last year, the department intervened in a little-noticed lawsuit challenging bail practices in Clanton, Alabama. “It is the position of the United States that [financial bond, set] without any regard for indigence, not only violates the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause but also constitutes bad public policy,” the department wrote, intervening in a lawsuit filed by the nonprofit Equal Justice Under Law” (Laird, 2016, p 1).

    “ This article sheds some light on this question by introducing CPU DB (cpudb.stanford.edu), an open and extensible database collected by Stanford’s VLSI (very large-scale integration) Research Group over several generations of processors (and students). We gathered information on commercial processors from 17 manufacturers and placed it in CPU DB, which now contains data on 790 processors spanning the past 40 years”(Danowitz, A., et al., 2012, p1).

    “CPU DB allows side-by-side access to performance data for relatively simple in-order processors (up to the mid-1990s) and modern out-of-order processors.

    “the encoding of operations must be specified. In the early phases of the design process many of these details, which are needed to describe the full specification, must not be known, but they are required for

    deriving tools like the compiler and assembler”(Urban, R., et al. 2016, P.2).

    “The compiler translates a C program code into an intermediate code format, which can be simulated and profiled immediately” (Urban, R., et al. 2016, P.3).

    “The sequence of code refinements and optimizations performed by the translation modules will compose a compiler backend. In a final step, CoMet provides an automatic translation of the simulator configuration, which specifies the instruction set architecture (ISA), into a VHDL model”(Urban, R., et al. 2016, P.3).

    “There are many approaches to support an efficient DSE for application specific processors. In most cases, architecture description languages (ADLs) are used to describe the ISA or a structural design3 of the processor. Examples for ADLs which describe ISA are LISA, ISPS and nML. LISA is used for example in the Processor Non-Cyclic DSE for Small ASIPs — Compiler-Centered Microprocessor Design (CoMet) Designer from CoWare (Synopsys). It provides a toolset based on LISA, which supports the designer during the DSE and reduces the effort for tool customization. For example, assembler and instruction set simulator can be generated automatically. A compiler may be generated as well by specifying additional information for code selection”(Urban, R., et al. 2016, P.3-4).

    “The parameters of the architecture are determined by fixed optimization techniques. In that way the compiler is a tool, which can only provide a prede¯ned and strong limited DSE for ASIPs” (Urban, R., et al. 2016, P.4).

    “The term SCADA is the abbreviation for supervisory control and data acquisition. It encompasses the collection of information (data acquisition), transferring the data over physical mediums (the field of telemetry/data communication) and the processing and display of the data at the master station. The master station is also used for centralized control over the communication network and/or to initiate external commands” (Strauss, 2003, p. 108).

    “The term SCADA master is commonly used to refer to the master station, including the hardware and software. SCADA masters were originally only intended to communicate to remote terminal units (RTUs), as the master station and the RTU formed the core of a comprehensive SCADA philosophy. Thereafter, SCADA software was developed to communicate to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and nowadays SCADA software is available that can communicate to virtually any device capable of advanced communications (Strauss, 2003, p. 108).

    “SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) has been around as long as there have been control systems. The first ‘SCADA’ systems utilized data acquisition by means of panels of meters, lights and strip chart recorders. The operator manually operating various control knobs exercised supervisory control. These devices were and still are in used to do supervisory control and data acquisition on plants, factories, and power generating facilities” (Bailey & Wright, 2003, p. 1).

    “In the early days of data acquisition, relay logic was used to control production and plant systems. With the advent of CPU and other electronic devices, manufacturers incorporated digital electronics into relay logic equipment. The PLC or programmable logic controller is still one of the most widely used control systems in the industry” (Bailey & Wright, 2003, p. 2).

    “The old stand-alone SCADA systems were not linked to other systems and computer networks. Their communication mechanisms and protocols are most likely proprietary. For example, Honeywell’s early TDC-3000 DCS has Local Control Network (LCN), which is similar to IEEE 802.4. The second generation of SCADA systems has integrated management systems and control systems within an enterprise or a company. The control system networks were connected to Management Information System (MIS) networks and became a part of the Intranet in an enterprise. The second generation is also called Intranet-based SCADA. Today’s SCADA systems, i.e. Internet-based SCADA or third generation SCADA, which are integrated with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system as shown in Figure 1, have full integration with corporate IT networks which are interconnected with Internet. Operators can remotely monitor and control stations and devices such as RTUs and IEDs over the Internet” (Cai et al., 2008, p. 569).

    “The security of SCADA systems is found to be more complicated than that in the traditional IT or Internet world. The early conventional SCADA designs do not provide industrial systems with the protection against cyber attacks. Old control system facilities are still in use today and they are fully or partially connected to corporate IP networks extending to Internet” (Cai et al., 2008, p. 570).

    “Although originally created for the adult criminal justice system, zero tolerance rhetoric eventually emerged in the K–12 schooling context to address drug and gang activity. However, over time zero tolerance policies were expanded to include minor misconduct such as wearing hats inside the school building and class disruptions. This paradigm shift from developmentally appropriate responses to addressing student misconduct to a more punitive approach was further solidified by Congress’s adoption of the 1994 Guns Free Act. The legislative intent of this Act was to minimize the perceived threat of escalations in school violence by school officials and the general public” (McNeal, 2016)

    “One also should not underestimate the negative impact of suspending or expelling a student. Excluding a student from school, even for a short time period, disrupts that student’s educational experience and provides that student with more time and opportunities to engage in harmful or illegal activities.

    “One main entrance to the juvenile justice system is school. Suspensions and expulsions have replaced detention, and offenses on school grounds are often leading to arrests of children and incarceration.

    “Marginalized children, when labeled by the school system as “deviant” at a young age, may feel that they are not wanted, or valued, or smart—which puts them on a downward spiral from the beginning of their school experiences. Many begin to mentally drop out as early as the third or fourth grade, when the academic and behavioral demands of school may outstrip their earlier academic development and home-based support. Lack of mental health support and early intervention for children with severe emotional and behavioral problems and their families, issues of substance abuse, the absence of a positive home-based support system, or a combination of these factors often bring children into the juvenile justice system. The deeper a child gets into this system, the harder it is to get out. Once expelled from the school system, it is difficult for the child to return, making the risk of dropping out of high school a very real possibility. High school dropouts are 63 times more likely to be incarcerated than graduates from four-year colleges” (Maller, 2014, p. 1100).

    “The final component of the pipeline was solidified as public school teachers began to feel the pressure of the No Child Left Behind Act, a law that required schools to have students perform at certain levels or face serious sanctions such as the loss of funding or the closing of the school entirely. With such serious consequences looming, teachers and administrators began to eliminate low-performing students by suspending them, transferring them to alternative programs, and/or expelling them. By eliminating these students, the schools protected their performance evaluations and made clear just how disposable some children are. As a consequence of these policies, students of color and children with learning disabilities found themselves disproportionately locked into the pipeline at alarming rates” (Scully, 2016, pp. 961-962).

    “In the 1990s, John J. Dilulio’s myth of the “superpredator” was born – a generation of kids described as the worst generation of criminals that society had ever seen. According to Dilulio, superpredators were ruthless sociopaths, with no moral conscience, that saw crime as a rite of passage and were undeterred by any sanctions. He warned society that superpredators would be coming in waves, flooding the nation’s streets over the next twenty years. “Time is running out,” he cautioned, as he urged the American public to devise strategies to limit their damage” (Scully, 2016, p. 964).

    “Several popular magazines featured stories on the predicted crime wave that these superpredators would cause. These articles featured photographs of Black boys holding handguns. Stories exacerbating fear of Black youth ran rampant. The American public embraced the superpredator myth and called for harsher sanctions against children committing crimes. Their chant “adult crime, adult time” became the mantra of legislators who dedicated themselves to trying children in adult criminal court. The most dangerous part of the superpredator construct was that it focused policymakers’ attention solely on the offenders, ignoring external social factors that contributed to the violent acts of juveniles. If a child’s DNA were responsible for the child’s bad behavior, there would be no need to fix the surrounding environment. There would be no need to address failing schools, police violence, substandard housing, dysfunctional families, or a lack of drug treatment centers. In fact, if children were genetically damaged beyond repair, the only solution would be to lock them up; there would be no need to invest in rehabilitation or delinquency programs, as the children would be inherently violent and would forever remain that way” (Scully, 2016, pp. 965-966).

    “In response to Dilulio’s warnings, policymakers in nearly every state changed the way the justice system responded to juveniles accused of committing crimes. Penalties for juvenile crimes increased, more juvenile acts became criminalized, and states empowered prosecutors and judges to transfer children from juvenile court into the adult criminal system, where they faced the harshest consequences in American history. With the advent of these changes, children who were once deemed capable of redemption were, for all intents and purposes, considered to be garbage, worthy of nothing but disposal. The public’s fear of youth grew, resulting in the implementation of harsh policies designed to combat these superpredators” (Scully, 2016, pp. 966-967).

    “Trivial offenses such as bringing a water gun or a plastic axe to school were punished under zero tolerance policies. Some students received out-of-school suspensions for being late, skipping school, and for asking too many questions […] The use of zero tolerance policies is so widespread and outrageous that many of these extremely punitive incidents occur as early as pre-school and elementary school, setting the tone for young children to expect severe discipline. Research indicates that the earlier children are exposed to the criminal justice system, the more likely they are to be caught in a cycle of criminal activity resulting in the commission of crimes later in life” (Scully, 2016, pp. 969-970).

    “Similarly, a six-year-old in Florida, Desre’e Watson, was arrested for throwing a temper tantrum at school. She was transported to the juvenile detention center, where she was fingerprinted and had a mug shot taken. A large number of elementary and middle school children between the ages of ten and thirteen have also been impacted. Consider the following cases:

    An Ohio fifth grader was suspended from his elementary school for three days because he pointed his finger in the shape of a gun and pulled an imaginary trigger while playing with his friends; the letter from the principal to the parents cited his finger as a “level 2 lookalike firearm.”

    A twelve-year-old junior high school student in New York City was handcuffed and escorted to the local precinct station for doodling on her desk with an erasable marker.

    A thirteen-year-old girl in New York City was taken from school in handcuffs because she wrote the word “Okay” on her desk.

    An eleven-year-old was charged with “criminal mischief” for breaking a knick-knack on his teacher’s desk in Arapahoe County, Colorado.

    A thirteen-year-old student in Florida was arrested for repeatedly “passing gas” and turning off his classmates’ computers during class.

    A thirteen-year-old boy in Colorado was arrested and charged with “unlawful sexual contact” after he tapped his friend on the bottom for making a good play during a basketball game“ (Scully, 2016, pp. 970-971).

    “Sanctuary cities are municipalities that have policies and /or practices that in general ask city employees to refrain from actions that can contribute to the deportation of undocumented immigrants in their community. Cities with formal sanctuary policies generally instruct city employees and agencies to neither make inquiries about the immigration status of individuals seeking services or the protection of its laws, nor report on the immigration status of the individual to the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), nor use city resources to enforce federal immigrant legislation.” ( Haymes & Haymes, 2014, p. 625).
    “More specifically, sanctuary policies generally specify that local law enforcement officers do one or more of the following: “(1) limit inquiries about a person’s immigration status unless investigating illegal activity other than mere status as an unauthorized alien (‘don’t ask’); (2) limit arrests or detentions for violation of immigration laws (‘don’t enforce’); and (3) limit provision to federal authorities of immigration status information (‘don’t tell’).” ( Haymes & Haymes, 2014, p. 625).

    “Branch of law that deals with the entry and settlement of alien nationals in the United States” (Weiss, 2010, p. 549).

    “Primarily because of the need for labor and the spacious frontier, there was unrestricted immigration during the first one hundred years of the U.S. government’s existence. After the Civil War, federal law began to reflect restrictions on the immigration of certain groups, and in 1875 Congress passed a law barring convicts and prostitutes from admission. These were among the first of many “quality control” exclusions based on the nature of the immigrants. The list of unacceptable types of immigrants continued to grow in subsequent legislation. The Immigration Act of 1882, considered the first-general federal immigration act, added “lunatics,” “idiots,” and those likely to become public charges to the exclusionary list. ” (Weiss, 2010, p. 549).

    Muñoz, R.G. (2014). Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In Undocumented Immigrants in the United States: An Encyclopedia of Their Experience. (Vol. 1, pp. 368-372. Santa Barbara, CA: Greenwood.

    “ICE is the acronym for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency responsible for the enforcement of immigration law in the U.S. interior. ICE was formed in 2003 as a result of a governmental reorganization that merged the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the U.S. Customs Service and gave the newly formed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) oversight over immigration matters. With a $5.8 billion annual budget (as of 2012) and more than twenty thousand employees across the United States and in 48 other countries, ICE is the second largest investigative agency of the U.S. federal government” (Muñoz, 2014, p. 368).

    “For unauthorized immigrants, widespread collaboration between ICE and local law enforcement reduces the ability to travel within the United States, even to and from work, and to be in public spaces without fear of deportation. This has ramifications for work, social life, consumption practices, and overall quality of life of unauthorized people. For example, unauthorized immigrants in highly policed areas are more likely to accept a job with poor working conditions that is close to their home, rather than risk traveling to search for a better job. Unauthorized immigrants may also concentrate in relatively safe spaces, such as urban communities, rather than in suburban or rural areas in which local police actively cooperate with ICE. As ICE pushes to make Secure Communities mandatory across the United States, these effects are likely to multiply.” (Muñoz, 2014, p. 371).

    “Oliver Heaviside was an inventor who had a good insight into the mathematical basis behind much electrical engineering of the late 19th century. He was also able to apply his theoretical knowledge to practical problems; however, he seems to have had but a single patent. The author seeks to explore the reasons behind Heaviside’s lack of patents to protect and exploit his inventions.” (Spear, 2006)

    “Novel and nonobvious machines, manufactures, compositions of matter, and processes are eligible for patenting so long as these subject matters are properly claimed and vetted through the patent examination process. Because software is a virtual machine and a technological process, some contend that software innovations should always qualify as pat-
