A proper support for multimedia communications transport has to provide fault tolerance capabilities such as the preservation of established connections in case of failures. While multi-homing addresses this issue, the currently available solution based in massive BGP route injection presents serious scalability limitations, since it contributes to the exponential growth of the BGP table size. ...

We consider the problem of finding the least cost route for an aircraft between a predetermined starting and target location while ensuring either enough fuel is on board or acquired en route via refueling for completion of the route. Other considerations of this problem include adherence to regulations for threat and no-fly zones and to regulations for the minimum fuel needed on an aircraft in...

In this paper, we consider the statistical decision processes behind a linear and a differential cryptanalysis. By applying techniques and concepts of statistical hypothesis testing, we describe precisely the shape of optimal linear and differential distinguishers and we improve known results of Vaudenay concerning their asymptotic behaviour. Furthermore, we formalize the concept of “sequential...

number tags, discriminative responding would be maintained in shift. After the initial shift, Group BA was shifted to the series RRN and NRRN, in which pellets were used as the reinforcer. Finally, confinement time on R trials was decreased from 15 s to 7 s.

Increasing the adoption of cycling is crucial for achieving more sustainable urban mobility. Navigating larger cities on a bike is, however, often challenging due to cities’ fragmented cycling infrastructure and/or complex terrain topology. Cyclists would thus benefit from intelligent route planning that would help them discover routes that best suit their transport needs and preferences. Becau...

Cupper Oxide structures with a variety of novel morphologies are synthesized using cupper foil as substrate via a solution route. The structure, morphology and phase of the as-synthesized nanostructures are analyzed by various techniques. SEM images show gradual development of hierarchical structures of copper oxide with different morphology. In order to study the effect of reaction time and te...

the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of hepatitis b virus (hbv) genotypes in isparta, southwest of turkey, as well as the clinical features and transmission route for patients with hbv infections. methods: patients (n = 135) with hbv infection were included in the study. epidemiological and clinical data were obtained. hbv genotypes were determined with a pres2 epitope elisa ...

A family of free-standing noble metal (Pd, Pt, Au, Ag) sub-micron tubes composed of nanoparticles (STNs) can be synthesized by a one-step electrochemical route in anhydrous dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution without addition of any other surfactants.
