We present a series of detailed band calculations on the various structural phases of doped lanthanum cuprate: HTT, LTO, and LTT. The LTO distortion is shown to have little effect on the electronic density of states (DOS). A fit to the pressure dependence of the superconducting transition temperature indicates that only 2.5% of the DOS is affected by the HTT→ LTO transition. The LTT distortion ...

Denial of service Attacks have become one of the most common ways to attack a system. Numerous recent incidents have proved that even carefully designed systems (e.g. large scale web servers) can be brought down by a DoS attack. This is mainly because today, there are no wide spread and well established mechanisms to detect DoS attacks and give the servers appropriate notice. Many ongoing resea...

CONTEXT Relatively few osteopathic physicians (DOs) practice in the deep central southern geographic region as compared to other parts of the United States. OBJECTIVE To assess the potential effects of underrepresentation on the perception of osteopathic medicine among allopathic physicians (MDs) in this geographic region. METHODS A 20-item, Likert scale survey was designed to evaluate part...

The DDOS is “distributed-denial-of-service” meaning many “zombies or daemons” computers performing a DOS (Denial of Service) attack on one computer, usually directed by one “master”. In MANETs, DOS attacks not only consume the scarce system resources, such as bandwidth, battery energy, or CPU cycles, but also isolate legitimate users from a network. The DOS attacks may impact the network connec...

Dissolved organic sulfur (DOS) is the largest pool of organic sulfur in the oceans, and as such it is an important component of the global sulfur cycle. DOS in the ocean is resistant against microbial degradation and turns over on a millennium time scale. However, sources and mechanisms behind its stability are largely unknown. Here, we hypothesize that in sulfate-reducing sediments sulfur is a...

The Denial of Service (DoS) attacks pose a major threat to Internet users and services. Since the network security ecosystem is expanding over the years, new types of DoS attacks emerge. The DoS link-flooding attacks target to severely congest certain network links disrupting Internet accessibility to certain geographical areas and services passing through these links. Since crucial services li...

Recently, cost-based Autonomous Response System (ARS) proposals are based on intrusion detection analysis. However, the implementation of the analysis in multiclass classification-based ARS potentially leads to a wrong response action set decision. This is because the analysis may produces irrelevant response value, as it is not considering the false possibility in a true positive condition. In...

Dynamic process-based crop simulation models are useful tool in predicting crop growth and yield in response to environmental and cultural factors but are constrained by lack of availability of the required large number of inputs when applied for regional studies. In this study we report (a) development of a prototype Crop Growth Monitoring System (CGMS) for wheat using WTGROWS simulation model...

We present a quantitative comparison of lipid and water signals obtained from broadband Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy (DOS) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). DOS and MRI measurements were performed on an identical set of emulsion phantoms that were composed of different water/soybean oil fractions. Absolute concentrations of water and lipid ranging from 35-94% and 63-6%, respectively were ca...

We present the case of a 50-year-old man who comes to the emergency department of Dos de Mayo Hospital, Lima, Peru, with fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea and jaundice. An intestinal infection arises as initial diagnosis. He is referred to the area of Internal Medicine where various laboratory tests and imaging studies were conducted, including an abdominal computerized tomography scan. The scan ...
