Maritime communication systems and devices that are required onboard ships under the SOLAS (Safety Of Life At Sea) Convention are determined by the communication functions of Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). This system was fully implemented on the 1st February 1999, and since then maritime communications methods have not been significantly changed. As a result, numerous rese...

Pasteurella piscicida strains were weakly or moderately adherent to cell lines, the levels of attachment being variable depending on the cells employed. All the isolates exhibited the highest binding capacity to CHSE-214 cells. Adhesive capacities were affected by heat and sugars but not by proteinase K or by treatment with antisera raised against the lipopolysaccharides of P. piscicida, implic...

Random Key Distribution (RKD) schemes have been widely accepted to enable low-cost secure communications in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, efficiency of secure link establishment comes with the risk of compromised communications between benign nodes by adversaries who physically capture sensor nodes. The challenge is to enhance resilience of WSN against node capture, while maintainin...

The Hom-1 vesivirus was reported in 1998 following the inadvertent transmission of the animal calicivirus San Miguel sea lion virus to a human host in a laboratory. We characterized the Hom-1 strain and investigated the mechanism by which human cells could be infected. An expression library of 3,559 human plasma membrane proteins was screened for reactivity with Hom-1 virus-like particles, and ...

The increasing ubiquity of the Internet is creating a rapidly growing demand for larger bandwidth to the home. Currently the narrowband twisted-pair access network from an optical network unit (ONU) or a central office (CO) to a customer’s premises, the socalled “last dirty mile”, is the bottleneck for Internet traffic. The increasing demand for a home/office network further necessitates a flex...

We experimentally generate high-coherence primary Kerr combs with multiple sub-lines by using dual pumps and demonstrate the application of a primary comb state in multichannel communications. We find that more than 10 primary comb lines can be generated within the spectrum of modulation instability gain in our microring resonator. The generation is also verified by numerical simulations and th...

Early maladaptive schemata are patterns or profound themes which include memories, excitements, cognitions and physical emotions which are formed in childhood or adolescence, sustain in journey of life. This study aimed to investigate relationship between early maladaptive schemas and safe communications in students. 226 married students (113 women and 113 men) in 23-33 age range were selected ...

It is generally believed that exploitation of Global Satellite Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) together with advanced mobile communications for signalling and train control will significantly improve safety and efficiency of railway operations. This is especially true for signalling solutions on low traffic lines and also on some long heavy haul lines where previously planned implementations...
