This paper summarizes the research performed under DARPA’s Autonomic Distributed Firewalls (ADF) research project. The summary begins with a review of the motivation and objectives of the ADF. Then the architecture and capabilities of the ADF are described, followed by a summary of the operational and technical evaluations of the ADF. The major result of this project is the fact that the core f...

سابقه و هدف: در سال­ های اخیر روند رو به افزایش تخریب منابع آب، خاک محیط زیست اثر کاربرد بی رویه مواد شیمیایی موجب ترغیب پژوهشگران کشاورزی ارگانیک سال ­های شده است. با وجود همه اثرات مثبتی که ارتباط مصرف آلی بر روی ویژگی­ فیزیکی مطرح است، هنوز این رابطه نگرانی­ زیادی از نظر مسائل زیست­ محیطی، سلامت دارد. بسته منبع، اغلب دارای مقادیر نسبتا عناصر سنگین می باشند؛ بنابراین اندازه گیری دقیق میزان فل...

BACKGROUND Alternate day fasting (ADF; ad libitum intake "feed day" alternated with 75% restriction "fast day"), is effective for weight loss, but the safety of the diet has been questioned. Accordingly, this study examined occurrences of adverse events and eating disorder symptoms during ADF. FINDINGS Obese subjects (n = 59) participated in an 8-week ADF protocol where food was provided on t...

Proteins in the actin depolymerizing factor (ADF)/cofilin family are essential for rapid F-actin turnover, and most depolymerize actin in a pH-dependent manner. Complexes of human and plant ADF with F-actin at different pH were examined using electron microscopy and a novel method of image analysis for helical filaments. Although ADF changes the mean twist of actin, we show that it does this by...

سابقه و هدف: گیاه­ پالایی مقرون­ به­ صرفه سازگار با محیط زیست است که در آن گیاه از توانایی‌‌های طبیعی خود برای بازیابی استفاده ‌‌می‌‌‌کند. گیاهان مورد باید توانایی انباشت مقادیر زیادی آلاینده‌‌های فلزی را بدون ایجاد سمیت آنها داشته باشند. امروزه افزایش جمعیت جهان به دنبال توسعه صنایع کارخانه‌‌ها، بر میزان پساب‌‌های وارده غالبا حاوی فلزات سنگین مختلف ‌‌می‌‌‌باشند، افزوده ‌‌می‌‌‌شود. تاثیرات مخرب...

A group of231 alfalfa hay sample results received by a commercial lab over 4 years of hay testing in the San Joaquin Valley of California were examined for the relationship between various lab results. ADF2 and NDF were linearly related in this data set (90% of the variation in NDF is explained by the ADF value = R2). There was a very poor relationship between ADF value and CP (R 2 of 26%), whi...
