Detection and self-protection against viruses, worms, and network attacks is urgently needed to protect network systems and their applications from catastrophic loss. Once a network component is infected by viruses, worms, or became a target of the network attacks, its operation state will shift from normal to abnormal. Online monitoring mechanism can be used to collect important aspects of net...

The advantages of using spatial analysis in annual crop experiments are well documented. There is much less evidence for perennial crops. For the sequence of measurements in perennial crops, apparently, there are no published articles in spatial analysis to date. This paper aimed at the comparison of several models, including auto-regressive, ante-dependence and character process models, in mod...

This article is the eighth in a series exploring the importance of research design, statistical analysis, and epidemiology in nutrition and dietetics research, and the second in a series focused on multivariate statistical analytical techniques. The purpose of this review is to examine the statistical technique, analysis of variance (ANOVA), from its simplest to multivariate applications. Many ...

The purpose of this project was to enhance and interpret electron microscopy images of the Sodium Potassium ATPase, that is a cell membrane protein, and to develop a computer application that made all the needed steps in the analysis. The hypothesis that should be examined was that there was more than one possible conformation of protein unit cells in the crystal images of the ATPase, but it wa...

In the present study, statistical methods based on multivariate analyses such as the Descriptive Discriminant Analysis (DDA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were applied to determine relationships between particle sizes and the composition of the associated semi-volatile compounds, in addition to evaluating these observations in relation to the emission sources, study areas, sampling cam...

Botnets population is rapidly growing and they become a huge threat on the Internet. Botnets has been declared as Advanced Malware (AM) and Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) listed attacks which is able to manipulate advanced technology where the intricacy of threats need for continuous detection and protection. These attacks will be almost exclusive for financial gain. P2P botnets act as bots t...

Multivariate statistical analysis (MVSA) methods have been shown to yield many advantages in analytical instrumentation techniques because they offer an objective means to find complex information correlations in data that are not obvious to an observer and they maximize the discrimination of low-level signals from noise. Because they are objective in nature, the methods hold promise for automa...
