security term in mobile ad hoc networks has several aspects because of the special specification of these networks. in this paper a distributed architecture was proposed in which each node performed intrusion detection based on its own and its neighbors’ data. fuzzy-neural interface was used that is the composition of learning ability of neural network and fuzzy ratiocination of fuzzy system as...

Oesophageal tissue engineering is a therapeutic alternative when oesophageal replacement is required. Decellularised scaffolds are ideal as they are derived from tissue-specific extracellular matrix and are non-immunogenic. However, appropriate preservation may significantly affect scaffold behaviour. Here we aim to prove that an effective method for short- and long-term preservation can be app...

Mobile code makes it easier to maintain, debug, update, and customize a system. Active networks are one of the most interesting applications of mobile code: code is injected into the nodes of a network to customize the network’s functionality, such as routing, and to add new features, such as special-purpose congestion control and filtering algorithms. The challenge is to develop a communicatio...

The protein in the oothecal glands of praying mantids (Sphodromantis tenuidentata, Miomantis monacha) exists in the form of lamellar liquid crystalline spherulites, which coalesce as they flow out of a punctured gland tubule. Electron micrographs of sections of these spherulites after fixation show parabolic patterns of an electron-light component, set in a continuous matrix of protein. Such pa...

In this paper, we introduce a liquid core antiresonant reflecting optical waveguide (ARROW) as a novel optofluidic device that can be used to create innovative and highly functional microsensors. Liquid core ARROWs, with their dual ability to guide the light and the fluids in the same microchannel, have shown great potential as an optofluidic tool for quantitative spectroscopic analysis. ARROWs...

Modern high-performance processors employ thermal management systems, which rely on accurate readings of on-die thermal sensors. Systematic tools for analysis and determination of best allocation and placement of thermal sensors is therefore a highly relevant problem. Moreover liquid cooling has emerged as a promising solution for addressing the elevated temperatures in 3D Multi-Processor Syste...
