During automated driving (SAE Level 3), drivers can delegate control of the vehicle and monitoring road to an system. They may then devote themselves tasks other than gradually lose situational awareness (SA). This could result in difficulty regaining when system requires it. In this simulator study, level SA was manipulated through time spent performing a non-driving task (NDRT), which alterna...

Tor is a well-known anonymous communication system used by millions of users, including journalists and civil rights activists all over the world. The Tor Browser gives non-technical users an easy way to access the Tor Network. However, many government organizations are actively trying to compromise Tor not only in regions with repressive regimes but also in the free world, as the recent FBI in...

Although Tor is the most widely used system for providing anonymity services, its users often experience very high delays. Because much of Tor usage is for Web applications, which are sensitive to latency, it is critical to reduce delays in Tor. To take an important step in this direction, we seek an in-depth understanding of delays in Tor. By taking snapshots of the entire Tor network within a...

Methods Fly stocks All crosses were carried out at 25oC under standard conditions. tor mutants were obtained by crossing tor with tor mutants. tor is the strongest constitutively activated tor mutation. pgc null mutant allele corresponds to the P-element insertion EY7794 (Martinho et al., 2004). pgc and tor double mutants stocks were obtained by recombination with tor or tor mutant alleles, and...

Based on Tor, an anonymous DDoS attack is proposed, and the attacker of this very difficult to trace due strong anonymity Tor. Through conducting experiments in different network environment making analyzation security, results demonstrate effectiveness attack, strategy defense also discussed.

Distributed anonymous communication networks like Tor depend on volunteers to donate their resources. However, the efforts of Tor volunteers have not grown as fast as the demands on the Tor network. We explore techniques to incentivize Tor users to relay Tor traffic too; if users contribute resources to the Tor overlay, they should receive faster service in return. In our design, the central To...

Target of Rapamycin (TOR) signaling is an important regulator in multiple organisms including yeast, plants, and animals. However, the TOR signaling in plants is much less understood as compared to that in yeast and animals. TOR kinase can be efficiently suppressed by rapamycin in the presence of functional FK506 Binding Protein 12 KD (FKBP12) in yeast and animals. In most examined higher plant...

The Target of Rapamycin (TOR) proteins function in signaling pathways that promote protein synthesis and cell growth. In yeast, TOR signaling is regulated by nutrient availability, whereas in metazoan cells TOR activities may be controlled by both nutrients and growth factors. The recent identification of novel TOR-interacting proteins has provided crucial insights into TOR regulation and funct...
