Cryptographic puzzles are moderately difficult problems that can be solved by investing non-trivial amounts of computation and/or storage. Devising models for cryptographic puzzles has only recently started to receive attention from the cryptographic community as a first step towards rigorous models and proofs of security of applications that employ them (e.g. Denial-of-service (DoS) resistance...

One mechanism used by receptor tyrosine kinases to relay a signal to different downstream effector molecules is to use adaptor proteins that provide docking sites for a variety of proteins. The daughter of sevenless (dos) gene was isolated in a genetic screen for components acting downstream of the Sevenless (Sev) receptor tyrosine kinase. Dos contains a N-terminally located PH domain and sever...

The Denial of service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are aimed at maliciously consuming the available resources in computing systems to prevent genuine users from legitimately accessing them. These attacks can easily interrupt or disable targeted systems, so it is important for the system to detect and filter bogus connection requests as early as possible. Many common pr...

VANET (Vehicular Ad-hoc Network) which is a hy- brid network (combination of infrastructure and infra- structure-less networks) is an emergent technology with promising future as well as great challenges especially in security. By the other hand this type of network is very sensible to safety problem. This paper focuses on a new mechanism for DoS (denial of service) attacks on the physical and ...

the density of state and the natural bond orbital calculations were carried out to study theoxidation of co on au14 nano cluster through two different mechanisms and determining the bestmechanism for the reaction. chemisorption of o2 and co on the nano cluster led to change in energy,density of state and its thermodynamic properties. we calculated the energy band gap between thehighest occupied...

DoS attack tools have become increasingly sophisticated challenging the existing detection systems to continually improve their performances. In this paper we present a victimend DoS detection method based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). In the proposed method a Feed-forward Neural Network (FNN) is optimized to accurately detect DoS attack with minimum resources usage. The proposed method ...

The vibrational density of states (DoS), calculated from the Fourier transform of the velocity autocorrelation function, provides profound information regarding the structure and dynamic behavior of a system. However, it is often difficult to identify the exact vibrational mode associated with a specific frequency if the DoS is determined based on velocities in Cartesian coordinates. Here, the ...
