landfill is the major method of solid waste disposal in developing countries. to protect soil andgroundwater from contamination, anti-seepage systems have to be installed in landfills. however, during theconstruction of anti-seepage system, many factors can result in holes in geomembrane liners. for the purpose of improving construction quality, the construction company needs to find the leaks ...

Deoxygenation-induced red blood cell (RBC) sickling probably activates multiple cation leak pathways. In an attempt to model this, we examined the net passive K efflux ("K leak") from normal and sickle RBCs undergoing elliptical deformation in hypotonic media (200 mOsmol/L). This hypotonic deformation activates two deformation-dependent K leak pathways that are not detectable during the balance...

There are two competing architectural styles employed for building Web services: RESTful services and services based on the WS-* standards (also known as SOAP). These two styles have separate follower bases, but many differences between them are ideological rather than factual. In order to promote the healthy growth of Web services research and practice, it is important to distinguish arguments...

Introduction: Congenital anomalies of the cochlea and labyrinth can be associated with meningitis and varying degrees of hearing loss or deafness. Despite antibiotics, meningitis remains a life threatening complication.   Case Report: We report a case of recurrent meningitis following episodes of otitis media in a cochlear implantee child with bilateral vestibulocochlear malformation, due to f...

Quantitative information flow analysis (QIF) is a portfolio of software security assessment techniques measuring the amount of confidential information leaked by a program to its public outputs. In this paper, we extend the scope of precise QIF for deterministic imperative programs where information flow can be described with linear integer arithmetic. We propose two novel QIF analyses that pre...
