IMS(IP Multimedia Subsystem) network uses SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) as its core control protocol. The defensive ability of the malformed SIP message is particularly important for IMS network security. In this paper, we propose a malformed SIP generation method based on SIP parsing mode and the associated attack testing method. Based on SIP parsing mode of functional entities in IMS, we ...

Purpose Exporting firms are concerned with which foreign country to select and the performance consequences of this international market selection (IMS) decision. On the basis of transaction cost analysis (TCA), this paper proposes a conceptual framework that hypothesizes the relationship between transaction cost factors, IMS and export performance. Design/methodology/approach We test the propo...

Intramuscular stimulation (IMS) is widely used to treat myofascial pain syndrome. IMS is a safe procedure but several complications have been described. To our knowledge, spinal subarachnoid hematoma has never been reported as a complication of an IMS. The authors have experienced a case of spinal subarachnoid hematoma occurring after an IMS, which was tentatively diagnosed as intracranial suba...

IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) is a technology leading towards Next Generation Networks (NGN) which has the ability to provide converged service regardless of any access networks. This paper presents a conference call use case application and the realization of the application based on both IMS and non-IMS infrastructure design approaches. This paper also presents our findings in comparing the ...

BACKGROUND Intermediate syndrome (IMS) is a major cause of death from respiratory failure following acute organophosphate poisoning. The objective of this study was to determine repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) predictors of IMS that would assist in patient management and clinical research. METHODS AND FINDINGS Seventy-eight consenting symptomatic patients with organophosphate poisoning wer...

Understanding the 3-D structure and dynamics of proteins and other biological macromolecules in various environments is among the central challenges of chemistry. Electrospray ionization can often transfer ions from solution to gas phase with only limited structural distortion, allowing their profiling using mass spectrometry and other gas-phase approaches. Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) can s...

BACKGROUND Analysis of exhaled breath, especially of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), is of increasing interest in the diagnosis of lung cancer. Compared with other methods of breath analysis, ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) offers a tenfold higher detection rate of VOCs. By coupling the ion mobility spectrometer with a multicapillary column as a pre-separation unit, IMS offers the advantage ...

Face recognition is important in human identification. The biological recognition technique acts as a good method and broad applications in security areas. This work presents a method to improve the face recognition accuracy using a combination of Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Wavelet Transform. Wavelet Transform is used to decompose the input image with different levels and rearrange...
