The massive restrain security measurements at the airports very much impress the health status of the healthy and sick passengers alike. The security check is undisputedly a harassment – the confiscation of fluids, the limited movement on the airplane results in a stressful situation and put a harmful effect on healthy traveler and an even more harmful one on the sick. This kind of problem coul...

Given an original distribution, its statistical and probabilistic attributes may be scanned using the associated escort distribution introduced by Beck and Schlögl and employed in the formulation of nonextensive statistical mechanics. Here, the geometric structure of the one-parameter family of the escort distributions is studied based on the Kullback-Leibler divergence and the relevant Fisher ...

Escort distributions are a simple one parameter deformation of an original distribution p. In Tsallis extended thermostatistics, the escort-averages, defined with respect to an escort distribution, have revealed useful in order to obtain analytical results and variational equations, with in particular the equilibrium distributions obtained as maxima of Rényi-Tsallis entropy subject to constrain...

Escort is the security architecture for Scout, a configurable operating system designed for network appliances. Scout is unique in that it is designed around paths—a communication-centric abstraction that encapsulates information flows through the system—rather than the more traditional processes and servers. Scout uses paths to make end-to-end resource allocation decisions. Escort extends this...

The ability of tug escort vessels to save oil-laden tankers that become disabled in Prince William Sound, Alaska, is tested using a simulation of the drift path of the tankers. Tug escort schemes are intended to save tankers that have lost steering or propulsion by attaching a line and either holding the tanker from running aground until a repair can be made or towing the tanker to port. The ab...

The Drosophila ovariole tip produces new ovarian follicles on a 12-hour cycle by controlling niche-based germline and follicle stem cell divisions and nurturing their developing daughters. Static images provide a thumbnail view of folliculogenesis but imperfectly capture the dynamic cellular interactions that underlie follicle production. We describe a live-imaging culture system that supports ...

Cloud computing is changing most industries in the world, and medical field, as foundation of people's livelihood, also benefits from it. Limited by limitations business model, cloud applications are gradually going deep into field through reform single sector business. Among them, remote treatment based on video conference highly recognized market. In addition, electronic records technology es...

A family of replicator-like dynamics, called the escort replicator equation, is constructed using information-geometric concepts and generalized information entropies and diverenges from statistical thermodynamics. Lyapunov functions and escort generalizations of basic concepts and constructions in evolutionary game theory are given, such as an escorted Fisher’s Fundamental theorem and generali...
