Recently network-connected measurement instruments and controllers have increased. Today, Ethernet could be understood as a kind of a field bus for the front-end subsystems. The network-connected equipment uses the socket communication as a common software interface. The socket interface requires different handling from bus attached device access, that is, control application programmers have t...

Although the presence/absence of aquatic invertebrates using environmental DNA (eDNA) has been established for several species, inferring population densities has remained problematic. The invasive American signal crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana), is the leading cause of decline in the UK's only native crayfish species, Austropotamobius pallipes (Lereboullet). Methods to detect species...

This paper argues that men’s Halloween costumes do not offer insight on versions of hegemonic and non-hegemonic masculine performativity as much as Halloween costumes tell us about the colonization of masculinity by commercial interests, thus creating yet another version of branded masculinity. The data, from a content analysis of 100 images of men’s Halloween costumes, demonstrates the conside...

Ocular involvement in lymphoma is a relatively rare condition that can result from a primary intraocular lymphoma or an intraocular manifestation of systemic lymphoma. Lymphoma manifestations frequently masquerade as other more benign intraocular conditions including allergic or infectious conjunctivitis, uveitis, multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, acute retinal necrosis, or herpetic retin...

Copper deficiency is likely an underrecognized cause of anemia and neutropenia and may masquerade as a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). We report 2 cases of copper deficiency in which the diagnosis was suggested based on the characteristic morphologic findings, such as cytoplasmic vacuolization of erythroid and myeloid precursors and iron-containing plasma cells. It is interesting that both pati...

Thus posterior uveitis may be focal, multifocal, or diffuse with involvement of posterior segment structures such as choroid, retina, retinal blood vessels and optic nerve head. It is important to differentiate posterior uveitis from panuveitic entities, where there is no predominant site of inflammation, but inflammation is observed in anterior chamber, vitreous and retina/choroid. There is co...

Endogenous endophthalmitis accounts for 2% to 8% of cases of endophthalmitis. Immunocompromised state and intravenous drug use are the 2 most common causes of endogenous endophthalmitis due to molds fungi. Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Scedosporium are the common organisms in mold endophthalmitis. We report a case of Fusarium endophthalmitis in a patient with uncontrolled diabetes. While diabetes ...

Introduction. Tophaceous gout of the patella is rare and may masquerade as a tumour or tumour-like condition. Cases. We report two patients with gout involving the patella, one complicated by a pathological fracture and the other occurring in a bipartite patella in a young adult. Discussion. Typical imaging appearances and measurement of serum urate will usually confirm the diagnosis but, occas...

Remote user authentication is a very important ingredient procedure for the network system service to authenticate whether a remote user is legal through any insecure channel. Recently, Hsiang-Shih proposed a dynamic ID based remote user authentication scheme for multi-server environment as an improved scheme over Liao and Wang’s scheme, and asserted that their scheme can escape from masquerade...
