In this paper, we first develop a fragmentation method that reduces the storage overhead of replicated objects. We then present a data management protocol for these fragmented objects, and show that this protocol is a generalisation of quorum consensus algorithms for replicated data in which objects are not fragmented. Although this protocol reduces storage requirements, it does not achieve the...

Cities as the most complex man-made structures have been always exposed to natural and man-made hazards; these unpredictable risks have imposed seriousimpacts on urban areas. Meanwhile Urban Resiliency is the ability of cities to respond quickly to inappropriate and unpredictable conditions, which continiues stronger than before, consistent to the new conditions. Karaj as one of the metropolise...

Background & Aims: Anxiety is an emotion-based disorder resulting from resiliency and it is expected that the ability of individuals to regulate their emotions can be a key factor in determining the amount of their resiliency. The present study aimed to examine the effects of training emotion regulation skills on the resiliency of patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Methods: Using...

Key predistribution schemes for distributed sensor networks have received significant attention in the recent literature. In this paper we propose a new construction method for these schemes based on combinations of duals of standard block designs. Our method is a broad spectrum one which works for any intersection threshold. By varying the initial designs, we can generate various schemes and t...

The revision of the Ego Resiliency Scale (ER89) is described based on the self-reports of 754 Italian young adults. The dimensionality of the original instrument was explored through EFA and CFA; different factor structures across both gender and two random half-samples were investigated. Results provide evidence for a second-order model, based on two first-order factors (Optimal regulation and...

We propose SR3, a secure and resilient algorithm for convergecast routing in WSNs. SR3 uses lightweight cryptographic primitives to achieve data confidentiality and data packet unforgeability. SR3 has a security proven by formal tool. We made simulations to show the resiliency of SR3 against various scenarios, where we mixed selective forwarding, blackhole, wormhole, and Sybil attacks. We compa...
