Secure multiparty computation (MPC) as a service is becoming a tangible reality. In such a service, a population of clients wish to utilize a set of servers to delegate privately and reliably a given computation on their inputs. MPC protocols have a number of desired properties including tolerating active misbehavior by some of the servers and guaranteed output delivery. A fundamental result is...

Many effective strategies for enhancing network performance have been put forth wireless communications’ physical-layer security. Up until now, communications security and privacy optimized based on a set assumption the reliability or tiers of certain nodes. Eavesdroppers, unreliable relays, trustworthy cooperative nodes are just few examples various sorts that frequently categorized. When work...

Automated detection of sclerotic metastases (bone lesions) in Computed Tomography (CT) images has potential to be an important tool in clinical practice and research. State-of-the-art methods show performance of 79% sensitivity or true-positive (TP) rate, at 10 false-positives (FP) per volume. We design a two-tiered coarse-to-fine cascade framework to first operate a highly sensitive candidate ...

The construction of charging infrastructure has a positive effect on promoting the diffusion new energy vehicles (NEVs). This study uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to explore consumer preferences for from comments posted public social media. findings show that consumers in first-tier cities pay more attention infrastructure, and number accounted 36% total. In all comments, are...

The next generation Internet needs to support multiple diverse application contexts. In this paper, we present Internet 3.0, a diversified, multi-tier architecture for the next generation Internet. Unlike the current Internet, Internet 3.0 defines a new set of primitives that allows diverse applications to compose and optimize their specific contexts over resources belonging to multiple ownersh...

The perceived status of journals in which MIS research is published is an important issue to academics. The number of IS-related journals has increased through the years, yet it is not obvious which are the "leading" journals or what criteria should be used to determine this. This article addresses these issues by: (1) evaluating and analyzing previous studies in which MIS related journals have...

In this chapter, we consider the role of commodity off-the-shelf software technologies and components in the construction of computational grids. We take the position that computational grids can and should build on emerging commodity network computing technologies, such as the CORBA, COM, JavaBeans, and less sophisticated Web and networked approaches. These technologies are being used to const...

This paper presents a group-based security scheme for distributed wireless sensor networks. The scheme is devised for dealing with sensory data aggregated by groups of collocated sensors. We model the network for secure routing with 3-tier sensor network composing three types of nodes: Base station, group dominator and ordinary sensor nodes. It is shown that more than 85% network connectivity c...

BACKGROUND The lymphatic pathways of the nasal cavity are of enormous clinical importance. To date there has been no accurate radiographic record of these pathways. METHODS Four halves of the head and neck from 2 fresh human cadavers were studied. RESULTS The capillary network arises from the mucous membrane of the atrium, the turbinates, the floor of the nasal cavity, and the nasopharynx. ...

Geocast is a one to many communication, where a packet is delivered to a set of spatially contagious nodes. In military and disaster management application it is a primitive communication service. We propose a Grid based Opportunistic Geocast (GOG) for spatially separated wireless sensor networks with a three tier architecture composing sensor nodes, Mobile nodes (MN) and Data MULEs (DM) with d...
