This paper studies the impact of a mobile botnet on a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network by implementing a mobile botnet architecture that initiates a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. To understand the behavior of the mobile botnet, a correlation between the mobile devices’ mobility and the DDoS attack is established. Real traces of taxi cabs are used to simulate the mobile devices’ ...

We assessed longitudinal relationships between baseline testosterone and muscle mass changes in Japanese men. Data were collected from community-dwelling 957 adult men who participated in a longitudinal study of ageing biennially from 1997-2010. Appendicular muscle mass (AMM) was measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at baseline and follow-up examinations. The cut-off point of sarcopen...

We have studied stationary and dynamical properties of finite N -unit Langevin model subjected to additive and multiplicative noises, by using the Fokker-Planck equation and the augmented moment method (AMM) which was previously proposed by the author. The probability distribution in the stationary states may have much variety when multiplicative noises and external inputs are taken into accoun...

Abstract This article examines whether racial disparities exist in travel distances and times to grocery stores Seattle, WA. In contrast the findings of studies conducted other metropolitan cities, WA, has few food deserts. We find that distance time supermarkets vary with percentage specific ethnic populations. Greater Asian populations a census tract are associated shorter grocery, low income...

Objective: To test the cross-validation of anthropometric prediction equations for appendicular muscle mass (AMM) in older Brazilian women. Methods: Sixty-seven women (69.84 ± 5.95 years old) underwent measurements. AMM (kg) reference values obtained by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (AMMDXA) were compared to 20 estimating adults. A paired t-test (p > 0.05), standard error estimate (SEE &l...

Accurate dynamic modeling and analysis of flexible link manipulator (FLM) with non linear dynamics is very difficult due to distributed link flexibility and few studies have been conducted based on assumed modes method (AMM) and finite element models. In this paper a nonlinear dynamic model with first two elastic modes is derived using combined Euler/Lagrange and AMM approaches. Significant dyn...

The purpose of this study was proposed to identify the association of trunk body composition with spinal bone mineral density (BMD) in Korean male and female farmers. A total of 523 Korean farmers (259 males, 44 premenopausal females, and 220 postmenopausal females) were recruited. Computed tomography scans were acquired at the mid-L4 vertebral level, and total trunk muscle mass (TMM, cm³), bac...
