Parental protection of eggs represents one of the most basic forms of parental care. Theory suggests that even such basic parental investment represents a trade-off between current offspring survival and future reproductive success. However, few studies have quantified the underlying costs and benefits of parental care for marked individuals across an entire lifetime. I marked and followed 370 ...

Fraud and security continue to be problems for firms. Fraud information is typically incomplete and deliberately obfuscated. These qualities make fraud events harder to detect using conventional security controls. This study uses a knowledge management framework to explore how different types of controls are used to detect and investigate information fraud. The analysis is based on the customer...

This paper presents work for the development of a framework to assure the security of networked medical devices being incorporated. The paper focuses on one component of the framework, which addresses system development processes, and the assurance of these through the use of a Process Assessment Model with a major focus on the security risk management process. With the inclusion of a set of sp...

Quality control (QC) procedures should always be performed following radiopharmaceutical preparation and prior to patient administration. The main aim of QC is to ensure optimal radiopharmaceutical product properties except for some short half-life tracers such as some positron emission tomography (PET) imaging probs. by dispensing a radiopharmaceutical of the highest quality the risk of having...

Parenting is, currently, one of the most addressed processes from research in developmental sciences, often even as a predictor of children’s and youth’s welfare along the entire lifecycle [1]. In fact, parent practices have been highlighted as a major public health issue related to the community health [2]. In the empirical field, nowadays there is significant accumulated evidence about the in...

Security event logs are major indicators for the timely discovery of cyberattacks and during security incident examinations. Collection of sufficient logs of events associated with security incident time is critical for effective investigation. SCADA systems logging capabilities are intended for identifying and detecting process disruptions, not security incidents, and are frequently not suitab...
