We propose a layered security concept for the protection of buildings’ air-intakes from chemical and biological attacks. The concept is focused on prevention, early warning, and effective evacuation. One of the pillars of our concept is the inclusion of a video-based surveillance subsystem that improves the early warning capability of the protection system. Our video-based surveillance subsyste...

Status of this Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract The Internet Open Trading Protocol (IOTP) provides a data exchange format for trading purposes while integrating existing pure payment protocols seamlessly. This motivates the multiple layered system architecture wh...

We propose a method for visualizing a set of related metabolic pathways using 2 2D graph drawing. Interdependent, twodimensional layouts of each pathway are stacked on top of each other so that biologists get a full picture of subtle and significant differences among the pathways. Layouts are determined by a global layout of the union of all pathway-representing graphs using a variant of the pr...

This document describes the Asynchronous Layered Coding (ALC) protocol, a massively scalable reliable content delivery protocol. Asynchronous Layered Coding combines the Layered Coding Transport (LCT) building block, a multiple rate congestion control building block and the Forward Error Correction (FEC) building block to provide congestion controlled reliable asynchronous delivery of content t...

For a layered probabilistic shaping (PS) scheme with a general decoding metric, an achievable rate is derived using Gallager’s error exponent approach. Several instances for specific decoding metrics are discussed, including bit-metric decoding, interleaved coded modulation, and hard-decision decoding. It is shown that important previously known achievable rates can also be achieved by layered ...

The traditional network is layered designed. Most network architectures of the radio network are also layered. There are four layers for the radio networks, the physical layer, the link layer, the network layer and the application layer. In the layered design, each layer just is responsible for its own task. This can make the design more easily, and the network architecture adapted more applica...

Rotavirus has a capsid composed of three concentric protein layers. We coexpressed various combinations of the rotavirus structural proteins of single-layered (core) and double-layered (single-shelled) capsids from baculovirus vectors in insect cells and determined the ability of the various combinations to assemble into viruslike particles (VLPs). VLPs were purified by centrifugation, their st...

in this research, we reported a novel modified carbon ceramic electrode (cce) using ni/al layered double hydroxide as modifier was fabricated by sol-gel technique. the ni/al layered double hydroxide modified sol gel derived carbon ceramic (ni/al ldh-sgd-cc) electrode was used for electrocatalytic oxidation of acetaldehyde. the oxidation of acetaldehyde happens at the potential where ni (iii) sp...

We consider the construction of minimal multi-layered perceptrons for solving combinatorial optimization problems. Though general in nature, the construction method is presented as a case study for the sorting problem. The presentation starts with an 0((n!)2) three-layered perceptron based on complete enumeration, that solves the sorting problem of n numbers. This network is then gradually redu...

In this study, a method is proposed to determine the fundamental period of layered soil profiles. A model considering the layered soil as shear type structure is used. At first, the soil profile is divided into substructures. Then, the stiffness matrices of the substructures considered as the equivalent shear structures are assembled according to the Finite Element Method. Thereinafter, the sti...
