A critical component in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem is the need for secure and appropriate transmission, processing, and storage of the data. Our current forms of authentication, and identity and access management do not suffice because they are not designed to service cohesive, integrated, interconnected devices, and service applications. The seemingly endless opportunities of IoT a...

We have read the article by Maxwell et al entitled “Benefits and Limitations of Macrotextured Breast Implants and Consensus Recommendations for Optimizing Their Effectiveness.” One statement in particular is strongly deserving of clarification. One of the paragraphs in the article begins with a discussion of the reported rates through six years of malposition (including rotation) for the Style ...

This research aims to investigate the effects of two teaching sequences – interleaving and blocking on participants’ use three types cohesive devices (conjunctions, conjunctive adverbs prepositions [thereafter CCPs]) in their argumentative essays. The participants included 50 native Cantonese-speaking university students taking an academic writing course. Interleaving refers sequence which lear...

Recent research has shown that cohesive devices contribute substantially to writing quality and reveal L2 writers’ information, such as first or native language. This quantitative study adopted a cross-linguistic approach investigating the use of in expository by Asian EFL teachers compared English teachers. The involved 80 participants from three different L1 backgrounds, including 28 Vietname...

Graphene is a fascinating material not only for technological applications, but also as a test bed for fundamental insights into condensed matter physics due to its unique two-dimensional structure. One of the most intriguing issues is the understanding of the properties of graphene and various substrate materials. In particular, the interfaces between graphene and metal substrates are of criti...

We study some generalized notions of cohesiveness which arise naturally in connection with eeective versions of Ram-sey's Theorem. An innnite set A of natural numbers is n{cohesive (respectively, n{r{cohesive) if A is almost homogeneous for every computably enumerable (respectively, computable) 2{coloring of the n{element sets of natural numbers. (Thus the 1{cohesive and 1{r{cohesive sets coinc...
