The exact contact theory is an efficient alternative to the more general yet computationally expensive Finite Element Method for detailed study of elastostatic problems. For its application in conformal problems, needs be fed with influence coefficients (ICs) appropriate non-planar solids. An analytical approximation ICs solids was proposed a previous work, avoiding involved process generally n...

Se realizó una investigación retrospectiva – prospectiva, para establecer un índice de calidad los suelos (ICS) la región Ríos (RR) en Tabasco, México y su modelación con tecnología infrarrojo cercano (NIR) quimiometría. Con relación MO / (arcilla + limo) se estableció el ICS evaluar Cambisoles RR. El porcentaje fueron comparados definir mejor calificador suelos. base ICS, 58% RR presentan degr...

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) encompassing resources for process automation are subjected to a wide variety of security threats. The threat landscape is arising due to increased adoption of Commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) products as well as the convergence of Internet and legacy systems. Prevalent security approaches for protection of critical infrastructure are scattered among various subsy...

According to a report on industrial control system (ICS) security by ICS-CERT (2012), the number of incident reports in 2012 had multiplied to five times their 2010 level. The etiology of this rise is the integration of open and standardised technologies that are traditionally found in IT environments into ICS components, and the interconnection of ICSs to corporate networks and the internet. A...

Glucocorticoids have been the mainstay of therapy of asthma because of their antiinflammatory action. They have potential for many adverse effects, especially with continued use. However, the inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) have a better safety profile than the oral steroids. In view of the long term requirement for ICS in childhood asthma, there have been lots of investigations on the adverse ef...

Imaginary companions (ICs) are purported to bolster children’s coping and self-competence, but few studies address this claim. We expected having/not having ICs would distinguish children’s coping strategies and competence less than type of companion (i.e., personified object or invisible friend) or quality of child-IC relationship (i.e., egalitarian or hierarchical). We interviewed 72 3to 6-ye...

Cyber-threats are one of the most significant problems faced by modern Industrial Control Systems (ICS), such as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, as the vulnerabilities of ICS technology become serious threats that can ultimately compromise human lives. This situation demands a domainspecific approach to cyber threat detection within ICS, which is one of the most import...

The security of sensitive data and the safety of control signal are two core issues in industrial control system (ICS). However, the prevalence of USB storage devices brings a great challenge on protecting ICS in those respects. Unfortunately, there is currently no solution especially for ICS to provide a complete defense against data transmission between untrusted USB storage devices and criti...

Sadatsafavi and colleagues address the question of the safety of long-acting β-agonists (LABA) in asthma with and without the concomitant use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). They carried out a study within the administrative healthcare databases of the province of British Columbia, Canada. The universal healthcare system provides healthcare for all residents of the province and includes cover...

Nowadays, the internal network communication of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) usually takes place in unencrypted form. This, however, seems to be bound to change in the future: as we write, encryption of network traffic is seriously being considered as a standard for future ICS. In this paper we take a critical look at the pro’s and con’s of traffic encryption in ICS. We come to the conclusi...
