Lisbon is the largest urban area in the Western European coast. Due to this geographical position the Atlantic Ocean serves as an important source of particles and plays an important role in many atmospheric processes. The main objectives of this study were to (1) perform a chemical characterization of particulate matter (PM2.5) sampled in Lisbon, (2) identify the main sources of particles, (3)...

A format string attack exploits the fact that functions with a variable number of input arguments such as printf() determine the exact number of input arguments used in a call based on the format string argument, and compromises the victim application’s address space by accessing data areas beyond the original input argument list the caller prepares. Although there have been several attempts th...

A coordinated multi-resolution and multi-point MIMO transmission method for the LTE-Advanced is presented considering the Evolved-Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (E-MBMS). Fixed relays with MIMO and different adaptive frequency reuse schemes are considered in the proposed scheme to improve the E-MBMS spectral efficiency at the cell borders and/or to save transmission power from the base ...

Replication and distributed communication are usually tightly coupled. This code tangling forbids their independent reuse and adaptation. In this position paper the problems resulting from coupling replication with distributed communication are discussed. In addition, a solution based on separation of concerns is proposed. The abstractions for each concern are presented as well as their composi...
