A Method of Detections’ Fusion for GNSS Anti-Spoofing

The spoofing attack is one of the security threats of systems depending on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). There have been many GNSS spoofing detection methods, and each of them focuses on a characteristic of the GNSS signal or a measurement that the receiver has obtained. The method based on a single detector is insufficient against spoofing attacks in some scenarios. How to fus...

The Si-tag for immobilizing proteins on a silica surface.

Targeting functional proteins to specific sites on a silicon device is essential for the development of new biosensors and supramolecular assemblies. Using intracellular lysates of several bacterial strains, we found that ribosomal protein L2 binds tightly to silicon particles, which have surfaces that are oxidized to silica. A fusion of E. coli L2 and green fluorescence protein adsorbed to the...

Development of DNA Microarray for Pathogen Detection

Pathogens pose a significant threat to humans, animals, and plants. Consequently, a considerable effort has been devoted to developing rapid, convenient, and accurate assays for the detection of these unfavorable organisms. Recently, DNA-microarray based technology is receiving much attention as a powerful tool for pathogen detection. After the target gene is first selected for the unique ident...

Fusion proteins and fusion pores

A meeting was recently held at the Juan March Foundation in Madrid (22–24 May, 2000) on the topic ‘Regulated exocytosis and the vesicle cycle’. This small discussion meeting brought together speakers using molecular, electrophysiological or a combination of approaches in the study of exocytosis and vesicle retrieval. It was clear from the presentations and discussions that there is now reasonab...
