We report a case of glomerulopathy in a 36-year-old Japanese woman with primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS). The first renal biopsy suggested membranous glomerulonephritis. However, repeat biopsy was performed after 16 years because of increased proteinuria, revealing membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with mesangial deposits, subendothelial deposits, and subepithelial deposits. Immunofluoresc...

the role of some ring structures in the distribution of porphyry copper deposits in south kerman porphyry copper belt is discussed. in the study area, ring structures are circular or elliptical shaped features which are partly recognized on satellite images. in this study, landsat multispectral images were used to identify ring structures in the area. the rudimentary identification stages of th...

Network intrusion prevention systems provide proactive defense against security threats by detecting and blocking attack-related traffic. This task can be highly complex, and therefore, software-based network intrusion prevention systems have difficulty in handling high speed links. This paper describes the design and implementation of a high-performance network intrusion prevention system that...

The IP-based Ubiquitous Sensor Network (IP-USN) is an effort to build the "Internet of things". By utilizing IP for low power networks, we can benefit from existing well established tools and technologies of IP networks. Along with many other unresolved issues, securing IP-USN is of great concern for researchers so that future market satisfaction and demands can be met. Without proper security ...

Research in the field of computer and network sciences demands for tools and methodology to test their security effectively. Intrusion Detection System is used to perform the same with a fact that an intruder’s behavior will be noticeably different from that of a legitimate user and would exploit security vulnerabilities. IDS have thousands of alerts per day; some are mistakenly triggered by be...

Proceedings of the 5th symposium on Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection (RAID 2002), Zurich, Switzerland, October 2002. Springer LNCS 2516, pages 115-137 This paper describes a testing environment for commercial intrusion-detection systems, shows results of an actual test run and presents a number of conclusions drawn from the tests. Our test environment currently focuses on IP denial-of-ser...

The Dehaj area, located in the southern part of the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic belt, is a well-endowed terrain hosting a number of world-class porphyry copper deposits. These deposits are all hosted in an acidic to intermediate volcano-plutonic sequence greatly affected by various types of the hydrothermal alterations, whether argillic, phyllic or propylitic. Although there are a handful of hithe...

the gandy gold-base metal deposit is located in tertiary torud-chahshirin volcano-plutonic range, north of central iran. various styles of gold mineralization occur throughout the range. mineralization at gandy occurs in close spatial relation with rhyolitic domes in a caldera setting in a series of narrow brecciated veins. two mineralogically and spatially different argillic alterations have a...
