This threats document provides a detailed analysis of the security threats relevant to the Next Steps in Signaling (NSIS) protocol suite. It calls attention to, and helps with the understanding of, various security considerations in the NSIS Requirements, Framework, and Protocol proposals. This document does not describe vulnerabilities of specific parts of the NSIS protocol suite.

A consistent result in the evaluation of group-delivered intervention to promote social reciprocity in children with PDDs is that outcome data are inconclusive. Lack of robust evidence of efficacy confounds understanding of these interventions and their value to the field. It is conceivable that the construct of impaired social reciprocity in PDD presents unique circumstances that require speci...

RSVP version 1 has been designed for optimally support multicast. However, in reality multicast is being used much less frequently than anticipated. Still, even for unicast (one sender, one receiver) communication, full−fledged multicast−enabled RSVP signaling must be used. As pointed out in the NSIS requirement draft, multicast would not be necessarily required for an NSIS signaling protocol. ...

A microfluidic manifold has been designed, fabricated, and tested which hydrodynamically focuses a sample into the center of a microchannel and provides control over the vertical position of the focused sample via the flow-rates of the focusing fluids [1]. To characterize the focusing action, a mixing experiment was performed in which the sample fluid and focusing fluid contained spectrally uni...

• Significant correlations between age group and performance for FRs (r=0.55, p<0.001) and PDDs (r=0.56, p<0.001). 2. Truth-Value Judgment Task Methods •Participants: 4yo (18), 5yo (17), 6yo (19), 7yo (11). •Participants were told: “Cookie Monster really likes cookies, but he does NOT like onions.” They were shown pictures of (i) plates of cookies, (ii) onions, or (iii) both cookies and onions....

Focus accuracy affects the quality of astronomical observations. Auto-focusing is necessary for imaging systems designed The automatic focus system searches best position by using a proposed search algorithm. algorithm uses image’s levels as its objective function in process. This paper aims to study performance several algorithms select suitable one. proper will be used develop an Kottamia Ast...
