Scientific Research is one of the core pillars on which Higher Education Institutions are built and operate; its effective governance is a mission-critical task and an ever-important competitive factor for Universities today. The aim of this paper is to share the experience of Italian Universities in managing Research processes, through a supporting software system developed by CINECA, the lead...

Wireless communications are vulnerable to signal jamming attacks that can block mission-critical messages from being received. Spread spectrum techniques mitigate these attacks by spreading normal narrowband signals over a much wider band of frequencies and forcing jammers who do not know the spreading pattern to expend much more effort to launch the attack. In broadcast systems, however, jamme...

in order to investigate the effect of cycocel on different growth aspects of two olive cultivars (mary and mission), a greenhouse experiment was conducted taking into account three factors of: cycocel at three levels (0, 500 and 1000 mg l-1), drought stress of three levels (irrigated at 5, 10 and 15 days intervals) and two olive cultivars (mary and mission) in a factorial experiment based on ra...

The delivery of key services in domains ranging from finance and manufacturing to healthcare transportation is underpinned by a rapidly growing number mission-critical enterprise applications. Ensuring the continuity these complex applications requires use software-managed infrastructures called high-availability clusters (HACs). HACs employ sophisticated techniques monitor health application l...

Cluster computing has been attracting more and more attention from both the industrial and the academic world for its enormous computing power and scalability. Beowulf type cluster, for example, is a typical High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster system. Availability, as a key attribute of the system, needs to be considered at the system design stage and monitored at mission time. Moreover, s...

We review seven methods of measuring the absolute magnitude M V of RR Lyrae stars in light of the Hipparcos mission and other recent developments. We focus on identifying possible systematic errors and rank the methods by relative immunity to such errors. For the three most robust methods, statistical parallax, trigonometric parallax, and cluster kinemat-ics, we find M V (at [Fe/H]= −1.6) of 0....

Oscillating magnetic field lines are frequently observed by spacecraft in the terrestrial and other planetary magnetospheres. The CLUSTER mission is a very suitable tool to further study these Alfvén waves as the four CLUSTER spacecraft provide for an opportunity to separate spatial and temporal structures in the terrestrial magnetosphere. Using a large scaled configuration formed by the four s...

Abstract—We propose a method of searching for radio sources exhibiting the Sunyaev–Zeldovich effect in multi-frequency emission maps from Planck mission data using convolutional neural network. A catalog recognizing is compiled GLESP pixelation scheme at frequencies 100, 143, 217, 353, and 545 GHz. The quality proposed approach evaluated dependence model on S/N ratio estimated. We show that pre...

The interferon-induced dynamin-like MxA GTPase restricts the replication of influenza A viruses. We identified adaptive mutations in the nucleoprotein (NP) of pandemic strains A/Brevig Mission/1/1918 (1918) and A/Hamburg/4/2009 (pH1N1) that confer MxA resistance. These resistance-associated amino acids in NP differ between the two strains but form a similar discrete surface-exposed cluster in t...
