The Impact of China on Cybersecurity: Fiction and Friction

Exaggerated fears about the paralysis of digital infrastructure and the loss of competitive advantage contribute to a spiral of mistrust in U.S.-China relations. In every category of putative Chinese cyber threat, there are also considerabl...

New Solutions for Cybersecurity

Experts from MIT explore recent advances in cybersecurity, bringing together management, technical, and sociological perspectives. Ongoing cyberattacks, hacks, data breaches, and privacy concerns demonstrate vividly the inadequacy of existi...

Application of Neural Networks

Learning and Evolution in Neural Networks

This article describes simulations on populations of neural networks that both evolve at the population level and learn at the individual level. Unlike other simulations, the evolutionary task (finding food in the environment) and the learn...

Theory of the backpropagation neural network

The author presents a survey of the basic theory of the backpropagation neural network architecture covering architectural design, performance measurement, function approximation capability, and learning. The survey includes previously know...

Fundamentals of Neural Networks

Deep Learning for Instance Retrieval: A Survey

In recent years a vast amount of visual content has been generated and shared from many fields, such as social media platforms, medical imaging, and robotics. This abundance of content creation and sharing has introduced new challenges, par...

Geoscientists’ Perspectives on Cyberinfrastructure Needs: A Collection of User Scenarios

Cyberinfrastructure (CI) is a standard tool in the geosciences, but the creation of successful CI remains difficult, and expensive projects can have significant consequences for scientific communities if they do not result in success. In th...

Application of Protein-Protein Interaction Network Analysis in Order to Identify Cervical Cancer miRNA and mRNA Biomarkers

Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the world’s most common and severe cancers. This cancer includes two histological types: squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (ADC). The current study aims at identifying novel potential candidate ...

Polarized Multiwavelength Emission from Pulsar Wind—Accretion Disk Interaction in a Transitional Millisecond Pulsar

Transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) bridge the evolutionary gap between accreting neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries and millisecond radio pulsars. These systems exhibit a unique subluminous X-ray state characterized by the prese...

Hydrothermal Treatment Modifies the Chemical Profile of Coffee Pulp (Coffea arabica) Extracts and Improves Their Antibacterial Activity against Xanthomonas and Ralstonia.

Lifecycle Environmental Impact Assessment of an Overtopping Wave Energy Converter Embedded in Breakwater Systems

Overtopping breakwater systems are among the most promising technologies for exploiting wave energy to generate electricity. They consist in water reservoirs, embedded in piers, placed on top of ramps, higher than sea-level. Pushed by wave ...

Rarefied Reactive Gas Flows over Simple and Complex Geometries Using an Open-Source DSMC Solver

During atmospheric reentry, a significant number of chemical reactions are produced inside the high-temperature shock wave formed upstream of the spacecraft. Chemical reactions can significantly alter the flowfield structure surrounding the...

A maladaptive ER stress response triggers dysfunction in highly active muscles of mice with SELENON loss

Selenoprotein N (SELENON) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein whose loss of function leads to human SELENON-related myopathies. SelenoN knockout (KO) mouse limb muscles, however, are protected from the disease, and display no major alt...

The evolution of molecular biology into systems biology

Determination and Evaluation of the Interlaminar Shear Modulus of Polyvinyl Butyral with Fibre Optic Sensors

The method of fibre optic strain measurement based on Rayleigh signal analysis enables the detection of the deformation behaviour of laminated glass and the modelling of its load-bearing characteristics. The measurement system is already ca...

The timed asynchronous distributed system model

We propose a formal definition for the timed asynchronous distributed system model. We present extensive measurements of actual message and process scheduling delays and hardware clock drifts. These measurements confirm that this model adeq...
