We present a new type of robot concept called swarm-bot, based on cooperative and swarm intelligence, that was developed within an interdisciplinary project sponsored by the Future and Emerging Technologies of the European Commission. A swarm-bot is an assembly of several mobile robots (called s-bots), which can operate both autonomously and as a group. The unique feature of the project is that...

Botnets is a serious threat to Internet security. Popular defense strategies such as traffic filtering and malware detection all require a good understanding of the constituent bot binaries for creating the corresponding filter rules or signatures. This means that an effective analysis and classification process for bot binaries is needed for dealing with the threat of botnets. Unfortunately, t...

Tumor-specificity (TS) and anti-inflammatory activity of benzo[b]cyclohept[e][1,4]oxazin-6(11H)-one, generally known as benzoxazinotropone (BOT), have been reported. In order to find a new biological activity, the combination effect of BOT and three apoptosis-inducing agents was investigated. Cytotoxicity against four human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines and five human oral norm...

The creation of effective autonomous agents (bots) for combat scenarios has long been a goal of the gaming industry. However, a secondary consideration is whether the autonomous bots behave like human players; this is especially important for simulation/training applications which aim to instruct participants in real-world tasks. Bots often compensate for a lack of combat acumen with advantages...

One of the most significant threats faced by enterprise networks today is from Bots. A Bot is a program that operates as an agent for a user and runs automated tasks over the internet, at a much higher rate than would be possible for a human alone. A collection of Bots in a network, used for malicious purposes is referred to as a Botnet. Bot attacks can range from localized attacks like key-log...

Abstract The idea of data to be semantically linked and the subsequent usage this with modern computer applications has been one most important aspects Web 3.0. However, actualization aspect challenging due difficulties associated building knowledge bases using formal languages query them. In regard, SPARQL, a recursive acronym for standard language protocol Linked Open Data Resource Descriptio...

early screening of autism increases the chance of receiving timely intervention. using the parent report questionnaires is effective in screening autism. the q-chat is a new instrument that has shown several advantages than other screening tools. because there is no adequate tool for the early screening of autistic traits in iranian children, we aimed to investigate the adequacy of the persian ...

Chat (Cas/HEF1-associated signal transducer) is a novel signaling molecule with an N-terminal SH2 domain and C-terminal Cas/HEF1 association domain that is implicated in the regulation of cell adhesion. The Cas/HEF1 association domain also shows sequence similarity with guanine nucleotide exchange factors for Ras family small GTPases. In this study, we found significant activation of Rap1 in Ch...

AIM To increase the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of patients with recurrences of borderline ovarian tumors (BOT). MATERIALS AND METHODS 106 patients with BOT of stage I have been treated and clinically observed: the I group (82 patients, mean age -- 38.9 ± 5.5 years), who were treated with standard surgical operation (panhysterectomy); the II group (24 patients, mean age -- 30.3 ± 5....
