260: An improved method for engraftment monitoring using real-time PCR

F-STONE: A Fast Real-Time DDOS Attack Detection Method Using an Improved Historical Memory Management

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a common attack in recent years that can deplete the bandwidth of victim nodes by flooding packets. Based on the type and quantity of traffic used for the attack and the exploited vulnerability of the target, DDoS attacks are grouped into three categories as Volumetric attacks, Protocol attacks and Application attacks. The volumetric attack, which the pro...

Improved determination of plasmid copy number using quantitative real-time PCR for monitoring fermentation processes

BACKGROUND Recombinant protein production in Escherichia coli cells is a complex process, where among other parameters, plasmid copy number, structural and segregational stability of plasmid have an important impact on the success of productivity. It was recognised that a method for accurate and rapid quantification of plasmid copy number is necessary for optimization and better understanding o...

An improved method for detecting circulating microRNAs with S-Poly(T) Plus real-time PCR

We herein describe a simple, sensitive and specific method for analysis of circulating microRNAs (miRNA), termed S-Poly(T) Plus real-time PCR assay. This new method is based on our previously developed S-Poly(T) method, in which a unique S-Poly(T) primer is used during reverse-transcription to increase sensitivity and specificity. Further increased sensitivity and simplicity of S-Poly(T) Plus, ...

\"Internet of Things\": An Emerging Real-Time Technology for Environmental Health Monitoring

An Improved Real-time Traffic Flow Monitoring Scheme

Real-time traffic flow monitoring is essential to the management of multimedia networks and services. This paper presents an improved scheme and its CORBA-based implementation based on our previous work [1]. This scheme can be used to simultaneously locate relevant traffic monitors along the path of a certain real-time flow and retrieve traffic information from them. By consolidating traffic in...
