Trophic mechanisms that can generate biodiversity in food webs include bottom-up (growth rate regulating) and top-down (biomass regulating) factors. The top-down control has traditionally been analyzed using the concepts of "Keystone Predation" (KP) and "Killing-the-Winner" (KtW), predominately occuring in discussions of macro- and micro-biological ecology, respectively. Here we combine the cla...

The effectiveness of multiple UAVs at attacking the enemy target and defending against simultaneously gained researchers’ attention due to their cost efficiency high mission success rates.

In 2004, the Trojan horse defense was at a crossroads, having been successfully employed in two child pornography cases in the United Kingdom, resulting in acquittals. Despite the early successes, the Trojan horse defense has failed to become a regularly employed strategy.

The Eurosystem should modify its definition of price stability to a symmetric and unam-biguous inflation target, at the level of 1.5 or 2% per year. It should abandon its two-pillar strategy and adopt the superior international-best-practice strategy of flexible inflation targeting. The big question is whether the Eurosystem will be able to abandon its stubborn defense of an inferior monetary-p...

In this paper, for a battlefield self-organizing network the security flaw of RTS/CTS handshake mechanism will be analyzed based on its hierarchical and clustering features. By utilizing the fact that Cluster-type structure is easily to lead to the false blocking problem, a Denial of Service attack method is proposed. In this method, the attacker utilizes the pair nodes to forge malicious infor...

This work studies the impact of the pollution attack in a fully connected live video streaming P2P push based overlay network, as well as the effectiveness of using trusted peers as the only defense mechanism. Determining the best strategies for both: i) trusted peers (TPs) with the aim to detect and expel malicious peers (MPs) and ii) malicious peers in order to pollute without being detected,...
