Local monitoring has been demonstrated as a powerful technique for mitigating security attacks in multi-hop ad-hoc networks. In local monitoring, nodes overhear partial neighborhood communication to detect misbehavior such as packet drop or delay. However, local monitoring as presented in the literature is vulnerable to a class of attacks that we introduce here called stealthy packet dropping. ...

Cilia-organizing basal bodies (BBs) are microtubule scaffolds that are visibly asymmetrical because they have attached auxiliary structures, such as striated fibers. In multiciliated cells, BB orientation aligns to ensure coherent ciliary beating, but the mechanisms that maintain BB orientation are unclear. For the first time in Tetrahymena thermophila, we use comparative whole-genome sequencin...

This paper proposes a new media access protocol for single-hop local area and metropolitan area all-optical networks employing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Through WDM, multiple channels are created on a single ber, and an aggregate network bandwidth far greater than the peak electronic processing speed can be realized. The new protocol, Dynamic Media Access Control Scheme (DMACS), i...

For authoritative definitions related to CMRS one may consult NIST publication SP 800-137 [NIST 2011], where Information Security Continuous Monitoring is defined as “... maintaining ongoing awareness of information security, vulnerabilities, and threats to support organizational risk management decisions, ” or DISA, which defines CMRS as “...visibility of cyber risks and demonstrates the abili...

When nutrients are limited many prokaryotic and some eukaryotic cells tuck their chromosomes safely away in resistant spores. However, before starting the sporulation process, the prokaryote Bacillus subtilis wisely ensures that its chromosome is intact. In this issue of Cell, Bejerano-Sagie et al. (2006) describe a protein, DisA, that is responsible for the surveillance of chromosome integrity...

Two new species of the dikraneurine leafhopper genus Karachiota Ahmed are reported from China: Karachiota recurva sp. nov. and Karachiota aristata sp. nov.. A key of all species of the genus is provided.
