Link-flooding attack (LFA) has emerged as a serious threat to Internet which cuts off connections between legitimate hosts and targeted servers by flooding only a few links (e.g., target links). Several mechanisms have been proposed to mitigate LFA, however, they can only mitigate LFA after target links have been compromised by adversaries. Based on the fact that adversaries rely on network lin...

RNA interference (RNAi) is mediated by small interfering (si) RNAs that target and degrade mRNA in a sequence-specific manner. Cellular expression of siRNA can be achieved by the use of expression cassettes driven by RNA polymerase III (pol III) promoters. Here, we demonstrate that a modified tRNA(met)-derived (MTD) promoter effectively drives the cellular expression of HIV-1-specific siRNA. We...

This paper proposes an extended version of the Maximum Likelihood Estimation Detector (MLED) that can operate in severe heterogeneous environment for slow moving target detection in ground clutter using space-time adaptive processing (STAP). Unlike the MLED, the extended version called StopP-Band APES does not suffer from the high Doppler resolution properties of the MLED leading to severe extr...

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is undergoing an extensive Phase-II upgrade program to cope with challenging conditions of High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). A new timing designed measure minimum ionizing particles (MIPs) a time resolution 30–60 ps during entire HL-LHC phase. common data acquisition (DAQ) system will collect from readout chips, recons...

A detector for the case of a radar target with known Doppler and unknown complex amplitude in complex Gaussian noise with unknown parameters has been derived. The detector assumes that the noise is an Auto-Regressive (AR) process with Gaussian autocorrelation function which is a suitable model for ground clutter in most scenarios involving airborne radars. The detector estimates the unknown...

Flying insects are valuable animal models for elucidating computational processes underlying visual motion detection. For example, optical flow analysis by wide-field motion processing neurons in the insect visual system has been investigated from both behavioral and physiological perspectives [1]. This has resulted in useful computational models with diverse applications [2,3]. In addition, so...

A major problem in moving platform active sonar systems is the detection of targets in spatially distributed and Doppler-spread reverberation. This paper presents a novel space time adaptive prewhitener for reverberation based on a two-dimensional autoregressive model. The space time adaptive prewhitener jointly processes received data in angle and Doppler to improve the separation of a target ...

The modified Target Diagram (MTD) was developed to evaluate the performance of low-cost sensors (LCS) for air quality monitoring in comparison with reference methods by reporting relative expanded uncertainty and its contributors. An MTD provides several pieces information, including compliance regulation, sources error how diminish them, completeness validity LCS calibration etc. It allows use...
