The protein-protein interaction network (PIN) is a useful tool for systematic investigation of the complex biological activities in the cell. With the increasing interests on the proteome-wide interaction networks, PINs have been reconstructed for many species, including virus, bacteria, plants, animals, and humans. With the development of biological techniques, the reconstruction methods of PI...

This paper deals with an experimental investigation on the friction stir welding of pure copper. 4 mm thick copper plates have been welded in the butt joint configuration using a conical unthreaded tool, with and without preheating. An electrically heated backing plate has been employed to increase the initial temperature of the plates and to investigate the influence of pre-heating on the weld...

In this work, the finite element simulation of dissimilar friction stir welding process is investigated. The welded materials are AA 6061-T6 and AA 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. For this purpose, a 3D coupled thermo-mechanical finite element model is developed according to the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method. The CEL method has the advantages of both Lagrangian and Eulerian approaches, whic...

In metal forming operations, the intensity and distribution of stresses at the tool/material interface have great influence on the pattern and mode of deformation. This is due to the effect of frictional forces in being resistive to material movements and hence affects material flow and the directionality of volume distribution of material inside die cavities. This paper explores the use of the...

This report describes the details of two new proof-of-concept Bluetooth security analysis tools and two new attacks against Bluetooth security. On-Line PIN Cracking script is a security analysis tool for on-line Bluetooth device PIN cracking. Brute-Force BD ADDR Scanning script is a security analysis tool for brute-force discovery of the addresses of Bluetooth devices that want to be private. S...

BACKGROUND Headscarf pin aspiration is a common and unique form of foreign body aspiration among young Moslem women. Rigid bronchoscopy (RB) is considered the standard procedure for retrieval. There are little data on the role of flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) in the retrieval of aspirated headscarf pins. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the utility of FOB...

This paper presents a dynamic detector, called Race-653 that locates atomicity races in ARINC-653 applications using an on-the-fly analysis technique. Race-653 consists of 653-Monitor and 653-Detector modules. The 653-Monitor collects monitored information during an execution of the applications, such as processes, semaphores, and accesses for each shared resource. The 653-Detector reports atom...

Friction stir welding (FSW) is an emerging manufacturing technology for aerospace structures. It will see widespread use in the future as it offers ways of creating lighter structures at lower manufacturing cost than traditional methods (riveting, adhesive bonding). Since its invention in 1991, FSW has known fast improvements and many studies have demonstrated its capability for joining a wide ...
