The objective of this research is to validate the Finite Element (FE) model of a Ford F800 Single Unit Truck (SUT). The FE Model of the SUT was developed at the FHWA/NHTSA National Crash Analysis Center (NCAC) at the George Washington University. The SUT model has been used by several transportation safety researchers to evaluate and improve roadside safety hardware. In this study, the characte...

Blockchain is the consensus-based technology used to resolve conflicts in Byzantine environments. Vehicles validate messages received from neighboring vehicles using gradient boosting technique (GBT). Based on validation results, message source vehicle generates ratings that are be uploaded roadside units (RSUs), and through that, trust offset value can calculated. All RSUs maintain blockchain,...

In a Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET), a road-side infrastructure, or RSU is anticipated to be installed at some road-side location. This exposes the VANET to several different adversaries. In this paper, we present an authentication scheme for infrastructure generated safety messages using an identity-based proxy signature and verification mechanism. An identity-based technique offers a certif...

Today Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are needful to improve safety on the roads. But using this kind of networks has a few issues. Providing security is one of the most important issues that users of VANETs are associated with. Our purpose of security is the reliability of information. Security is lost when a user or group of users try to send invalid information into the network for their ...

Particularly interesting new cysteine-histidine-rich protein (PINCH) protein is part of the ternary complex known as the IPP (integrin linked kinase (ILK)-PINCH-Parvin-α) complex. PINCH itself binds to ILK and to another protein known as Rsu-1 (Ras suppressor 1). We generated PINCH 1 and PINCH 2 Double knockout mice (referred as PINCH DKO mice). PINCH2 elimination was systemic whereas PINCH1 el...

This paper presents the development of a mobile application for students at the Faculty of Information Technology, Rangsit University (RSU), Thailand. RSU upgrades an enrollment process by improving its information systems. Students can download the RSU APP easily in order to access the RSU substantial information. The reason of having a mobile application is to help students to access the syst...

We conducted a prospective evaluation of the "Rapid Scale-Up" (RSU) program in Burkina Faso, focusing on the integrated community case management (iCCM) component of the program. We used a quasi-experimental design in which nine RSU districts were compared with seven districts without the program. The evaluation included documentation of program implementation, assessments of implementation and...

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant disease in women, with most patients dying from metastasis to distant organs, making discovery of novel metastasis biomarkers and therapeutic targets imperative. Extracellular matrix (ECM)-related adhesion proteins as well as tumor matrix stiffness are important determinants for metastasis. As traditional two-dimensional culture does not take into...

Computing real-time road condition is really tough and it is not achieved using GPS. However, a malicious node can create multiple virtual identities for transmitting fake messages using different forged positions. A malicious vehicle can disseminate false traffic information in order to force other vehicles and vehicular authorities to take incorrect decisions. To overcome these difficulties w...
