In the last decade, we witness a proliferation of potential application domains of wireless sensor networks (WSN). Therefore, a host of research works have been conducted by both academic and industrial communities. Nevertheless, given the sensitivity of the potential applications that are generally tightly related to the physical world and may be human beings, a large scale deployment of WSN d...

We apply autocorrelation and Walsh coefficients for the investigation of correlation immune and resilient Boolean functions. We prove new lower bound for the absolute indicator of resilient functions that improves significantly (for m > (n − 3)/2) the bound of Zheng and Zhang [18] on this value. We prove new upper bound for the number of nonlinear variables in high resilient Boolean function. T...

This thesis presents the notion of computational resiliency to provide reliability in heterogeneous distributed applications. The notion provides both software fault tolerance and the ability to tolerate information warfare (IW) attacks. This technology seeks to strengthen a military mission, rather than protect its network infrastructure using static defense measures such as network security, ...

This study conducted confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory (EFA) using both the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC 25) Mindfulness Attention Awareness (MAAS) to create a validated, synergistic, higher-order we call Invicti Anima based on responses 630 teachers building-based educational leaders in three northeastern USA states. Controlling for important contextual variables ...

cities are complex and interdependent systems and they are vulnerable to threats from both natural hazards and terrorism. features that make cities feasible and desirable, the architectural structure, population concentration, places of assembly and interconnected infrastructure, also put them at high risk to natural hazards and terrorist attack. a recent review of worldwide natural hazard loss...

objective: this research aims at shedding light on well-being psychiatric aspects of resiliency and sense of humour between patients who suffer from coronary artery disease and healthy individuals. method: the methodology employed is ex-post facto and the study population includes two groups of patients and healthy individuals who live in rasht. the samples under investigation consist of two hu...
