Myrcia tomentosa (Aubl.) DC., Myrtaceae, found in Central Brazilian Cerrado and popularly known as "goiaba-brava", belongs to the Myrcia genus, which has several species with medicinal properties such as: hypoglycemic, diuretic, hypotensive, antidiarrheal, antimicrobial and antitumor. The present study aimed to analyzed the environmental infl uence on concentrations of phenolic metabolites in M...

Oxychilus (Drouetia) viridescens n.sp. is described from Santa Maria Island, Açores. It is conchologically similar to the sympatric Oxychilus (Drouetia) brincki Riedel, 1964, from which it is distinguished by the greenish coloration, the flatter spire and the slightly smaller number of whorls. Anatomically, the new species differs from all consubgenerics by the genital morphology: the penis is ...

Wireless sensors are very small embedded devices with low memory, low computing power and low battery life. Various applications such as continuous connectivity, weather monitoring, industry and instantly -deployable communication for first responders and armed. These networks already consider environmental conditions, factory performance, and troop deployment, to name some applications. Wirele...

Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are an increasing problem for network connected systems. Key establishment protocols are applications that are particularly vulnerable to DoS attack as they are typically required to perform computationally expensive cryptographic operations in order to authenticate the protocol initiator and to generate the cryptographic keying material that will subsequently be...

|Key-agreement protocol will play an important role as an entrance to secure communication over the Internet. Speci cally, ISAKMP(Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol)/Oakley key-agreement is currently a leading approach for communication between two parties. Basic idea of ISAKMP/Oakley is an authenticated Di eHellman (DH) key-agreement protocol. This authentication owes a ...

PURPOSE Diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS) has the potential to enable monitoring of tumor response during chemotherapy, particularly in the early stages of treatment. This study aims to assess feasibility of DOS for monitoring treatment response in HER2-negative breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and compare DOS with tumor response assessment by MRI. EXPERIMENTAL...
