AbstractSummaryAccessibility and usability of compute-intensive bioinformatics tools can be increased with simplified web-based graphic user interfaces. However, deploying such tools as web applications presents additional barriers, including the complexity of developing a usable interface, network latency in transferring large datasets, and cost, which we encountered in developing a web-based version of our command-line tool CellNet. Learning and generalizing from this experience, we have devised a lightweight framework, Radiator, to facilitate deploying bioinformatics tools as web applications. To achieve reproducibility, usability, consistent accessibility, throughput, and cost-efficiency, Radiator is designed to be deployed on the cloud. Here, we describe the internals of Radiator and how to use it.Availability and ImplementationCode for Radiator and the CellNet Web Application are freely available at https://github.com/pcahan1 under the MIT license. The CellNet WebApp, Radiator, and Radiator-derived applications can be launched through public Amazon Machine Images from the cloud provider Amazon Web Services (AWS) (https://aws.amazon.com/).

With the mounting demand of web applications, a number of issues allied to its quality have came in existence. In the meadow of web applications, it is very thorny to develop high quality web applications. A design pattern is a general repeatable solution to a generally stirring problem in software design. It should be noted that design pattern is not a finished product that can be directly transformed into source code. Rather design pattern is a depiction or template that describes how to find solution of a problem that can be used in many different situations. Past research has shown that design patterns greatly improved the execution speed of a software application. Design pattern are classified as creational design patterns, structural design pattern, behavioral design pattern, etc. MVC design pattern is very productive for architecting interactive software systems and web applications. This design pattern is partition-independent, because it is expressed in terms of an interactive application running in a single address space. We will design and analyze an algorithm by using MVC approach to improve the performance of web based application. The objective of our study will be to reduce one of the major object oriented features i.e. coupling between model and view segments of web based application. The implementation for the same will be done in by using .NET framework.

Cross Site Request Forgery

Today’s contemporary business world has incorporated Web Services and Web Applications in its core of operating cycle nowadays and security plays a major role in the amalgamation of such services and applications with the business needs worldwide. OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) states that the effectiveness of security mechanisms in a Web Application can be estimated by evaluating the degree of vulnerability against any of the nominated top ten vulnerabilities, nominated by the OWASP. This paper sheds light on a number of existing tools that can be used to test for the CSRF vulnerability. The main objective of the research is to identify the available solutions to prevent CSRF attacks. By analyzing the techniques employed in each of the solutions, the optimal tool can be identified. Tests against the exploitation of the vulnerabilities were conducted after implementing the solutions into the web application to check the efficacy of each of the solutions. The research also proposes a combined solution that integrates the passing of an unpredictable token through a hidden field and validating it on the server side with the passing of token through URL.

AbstractProgramming environments have evolved from purely text based to using graphical user interfaces, and now we see a move toward web-based interfaces, such as Jupyter. Web-based interfaces allow for the creation of interactive documents that consist of text and programs, as well as their output. The output can be rendered using web technology as, for example, text, tables, charts, or graphs. This approach is particularly suitable for capturing data analysis workflows and creating interactive educational material. This article describes SWISH, a web front-end for Prolog that consists of a web server implemented in SWI-Prolog and a client web application written in JavaScript. SWISH provides a web server where multiple users can manipulate and run the same material, and it can be adapted to support Prolog extensions. In this article we describe the architecture of SWISH, and describe two case studies of extensions of Prolog, namely Probabilistic Logic Programming and Logic Production System, which have used SWISH to provide tutorial sites.

Web-based applications has turn out to be very prevalent due to the ubiquity of web browsers to deliver service oriented application on-demand to diverse client over the Internet and cross site scripting (XSS) attack is a foremost security risk that has continuously ravage the web applications over the years. This paper critically examines the concept of XSS and some recent approaches for detecting and preventing XSS attacks in terms of architectural framework, algorithm used, solution location, and so on. The techniques were analysed and results showed that most of the available recognition and avoidance solutions to XSS attacks are more on the client end than the server end because of the peculiar nature of web application vulnerability and they also lack support for self-learning ability in order to detect new XSS attacks. Few researchers as cited in this paper inculcated the self-learning ability to detect and prevent XSS attacks in their design architecture using artificial neural networks and soft computing approach; a lot of improvement is still needed to effectively and efficiently handle the web application security menace as recommended.

Poultry Farming

Poultry farming has a very good business potential (Mohammad Khairu Islam, Mohammed Forhad Uddin, 2014) since they are fast growing animals meaning the business has potential to generate high return on investment under a short period of time. For example past days it took about four months for a chicken to become two kilograms, however these days a two kilogram chicken can be produced within 42 days (Hamra, 2010). Despite the fact that poultry farming has good business potential there are some obstacles which hinder the poultry business success such as lack of market linkage. Even with advancement of technology which has brought affordable smartphones to most of the livestock farmers, potential livestock information systems in Tanzania are used by very few livestock farmers and some are not used at all (Mussa et al., 2016). It is not that users do not need the system, nor the system does not show any potential for them, but depend on its usability and how well it suited to the user requirements based on their differences. Users of the system have a lot of differences including exposure to technology (Kalimullah & Sushmitha, 2017). It is now as more important than ever that web applications provide a good user experience which was once considered luxury or an added expenses (Juan, 2014; Ross, 2014). Web based platform for reliable market linkage has been developed with more focus on usability and user experience design. Eye tracking method combined with retrospective think aloud method and facial expression was used to test user experience of the developed web application. The result shows that users were emotionally happy when performing the second and the third tasks. But when performing the first task and the last task users were emotionally anxiety and disappointed.

AbstractBackgroundAs high-throughput sequencing applications continue to evolve, the rapid growth in quantity and variety of sequence-based data calls for the development of new software libraries and tools for data analysis and visualization. Often, effective use of these tools requires computational skills beyond those of many researchers. To ease this computational barrier, we have created a dynamic web-based platform, NASQAR (Nucleic Acid SeQuence Analysis Resource).ResultsNASQAR offers a collection of custom and publicly available open-source web applications that make extensive use of a variety of R packages to provide interactive data analysis and visualization. The platform is publicly accessible at http://nasqar.abudhabi.nyu.edu/. Open-source code is on GitHub at https://github.com/nasqar/NASQAR, and the system is also available as a Docker image at https://hub.docker.com/r/aymanm/nasqarall. NASQAR is a collaboration between the core bioinformatics teams of the NYU Abu Dhabi and NYU New York Centers for Genomics and Systems Biology.ConclusionsNASQAR empowers non-programming experts with a versatile and intuitive toolbox to easily and efficiently explore, analyze, and visualize their Transcriptomics data interactively. Popular tools for a variety of applications are currently available, including Transcriptome Data Preprocessing, RNA-seq Analysis (including Single-cell RNA-seq), Metagenomics, and Gene Enrichment.
