The process of social engineering targets people rather than IT infrastructure. Attackers use deceptive ploys to create compelling behavioural and cosmetic hooks, which in turn lead a target to disclose sensitive information or to interact with a malicious payload. The creation of such hooks requires background information on targets. Individuals are increasingly releasing information about the...

In the past decade, small unmanned aerial vehicles have become increasingly popular for remote sensing applications because of their low costs, and easy and fast deployment. Together with the development of light-weight imaging sensors, these UAVs have become valuable tools for monitoring and analyzing large areas from above. In the Netherlands, the development of agricultural and livestock sec...

The production of ‘Premium’ olive oil depends in large part on the quality fruit. Small producers see themselves confronted with vast investments and logistic snags when they intend to optimize harvesting. Today, manual harvesting devices promise less damaged fruit compared traditional methods nets while use a cooling room farm is suggested as solution needs be stretched out over several days. ...

Emerging nonlinear optical spectroscopies enable deeper insight into the intricate world of interactions and dynamics of complex molecular systems. 2D electronic spectroscopy appears to be especially well suited for studying multichromophoric complexes such as light-harvesting complexes of photosynthetic organisms as it allows direct observation of couplings between the pigments and charts dyna...

Libraries world-over are facing an economic crisis due to the imbalance in skyrocketing of subscription prices and shrinking or at best stable library budgets. Librarians have long ago realized the fact that however rich their collections are, they will not be able to meet the ever growing demands of their clientele. And, for this very reason, the inter library loan (ILL) service was started by...

Colloidal Nanocrystals (NCs) with fluorescence originating from surface complexes are successfully prepared. The components of these NCs range from insulator, semiconductor to metal, with either pure phase, doped or core/shell structures. The photoluminescence of these NCs can be reversibly tuned across the visible to infrared spectrum, and even allow multi-color emission. A light emitting devi...

The main objective of this study was to assess Radon concentration in the harvested rainwater (HRW) at the household level in Yatta area, Palestine. HRW is mainly used for drinking as it is the major source of water for domestic uses due to water scarcity. Ninety HRW samples from the household cisterns were collected from six localities (a town and five villages) and Radon concentrations were m...
