Late Embryogenesis Abundant Proteins (LEAPs) are ubiquitous proteins expected to play major roles in desiccation tolerance. Little is known about their structure - function relationships because of the scarcity of 3-D structures for LEAPs. The previous building of LEAPdb, a database dedicated to LEAPs from plants and other organisms, led to the classification of 710 LEAPs into 12 non-overlappin...

Table lookups and other types of packet processing require so much memory bandwidth that the networking industry has long been a major consumer of specialized memories like TCAMs. Extensive research in algorithms for longest prefix matching and packet classification has laid the foundation for lookup engines relying on areaand power-efficient random access memories. Motivated by costs and semic...

In a large-scale wireless sensor network, damage spreads rapidly in the network when under false report injection, false votes injection, or wormhole attacks. These attacks cause finite energy resources to be drained, legitimate reports to be dropped, and data to be intercepted by adversary nodes. A probabilistic voting-based filtering scheme (PVFS) and localized encryption and authentication p...
