Security enhancements for distributed control systems (DCSs) must be sensitive to operational issues, especially availability. This paper presents three security enhancements for DCSs that satisfy this requirement: end-to-end security for DCS protocol communications, role-based authorization to control access to devices and prevent unauthorized changes to operational parameters, and reduced ope...

Experimental and calculated differential cross sections DCSs for electron-impact excitation of the 010 bending mode and unresolved 100 symmetric and 001 antisymmetric stretching modes of water are presented. Measurements are reported at incident energies of 1–100 eV and scattering angles of 10° –130° and are normalized to the elastic-scattering DCSs for water determined earlier by our group. Th...

Dynamic Channel Switching System (DCSS) has been proposed as a solution to improve the capacity of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) which is compliant with IEEE 802.11 standards. DCSS divides wireless interfaces into data receiving and data sending interfaces. The receiving interfaces stay on specified channels, while the sending interfaces can be switched as necessary. A node sends the data by sw...

Deep convolutional semantic segmentation (DCSS) learning doesn’t converge to an optimal local minimum with random parameters initializations; a pre-trained model on the same domain becomes necessary to achieve convergence.In this work, we propose a joint cooperative end-to-end learning method for DCSS. It addresses many drawbacks with existing deep semantic segmentation learning; the proposed a...

We report absolute differential cross sections (DCSs) for elastic electron scattering from GeF(4). The incident electron energy range was 3-200 eV, while the scattered electron angular range was typically 15°-150°. In addition, corresponding independent atom model (IAM) calculations, within the screened additivity rule (SCAR) formulation, were also performed. Those results, particularly for ele...

We present state-to-state differential cross sections (DCSs) for rotationally inelastic scattering of HDO by normal- and para-H(2) at collision energies of 580 cm(-1) and 440 cm(-1). (2+1) resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization is used to detect rotationally cold HDO molecules before collision and as scattering products, which occupy higher rotational states due to collision with H(2). Relat...

Differential cross sections (DCSs) for elastic scattering of electrons from alanine, have been measured using a crossed beam system for incident energies between 20 eV and 80 eV and scattering angles from 10$^{o}$ to 150$^{o}$. The experimental data were placed upon an absolute scale by normalisation to calculated absolute integral cross sections obtained using the corrected independent atom me...

This paper present the work on Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN) to improve the spectrum sensing performance. By using distributed coordinated spectrum sensing all the Secondary Users (SUs) are grouped into optimum number of clusters, selection of each cluster is based on the priority of predefined Cluster Heads(CHs) among secondary users. All the CHs collects the source information from the remai...

We report results from a joint theoretical and experimental investigation into electron scattering from the important organic species phenol (C6H5OH). Specifically, differential cross sections (DCSs) have been measured and calculated for the electron-impact excitation of the electronic states of C6H5OH. The measurements were carried out at energies in the range 15-40 eV, and for scattered-elect...
