there are many effective chemothereutic agents used in influenza disease which some of them inhibit virus replication by interfering with fluv (influenza virus) viral binding or its penetration into cell membrane. a series of polyoxometalates compounds such as pom-523 and pm-504 have been synthesized and have showed inhibitory effects on viruses. in this study we examined anti influenza activit...

This paper shows a vulnerability of the pay-per-click accounting of Google Ads to the attacks of a malicious single agent and proposes a statistical tradeoff-based approach to reduce this vulnerability. The contribution of this paper is a model to calculate the overhead cost per click necessary to protect the subscribers from click spam and a simple algorithm to implement this protection.

Anonymous communication techniques are vital for some types of ecommerce applications. There have been several different approaches developed for providing anonymous communication over the Internet. In this paper, we review key techniques for anonymous communication and describe an alternate anonymous networking approach based on agile agents intended to provide anonymous communication protecti...

Glanders is a debilitating disease with no vaccine available. Murine monoclonal antibodies were produced against Burkholderia mallei, the etiologic agent of glanders, and were shown to be effective in passively protecting mice against a lethal aerosol challenge. The antibodies appeared to target lipopolysaccharide. Humoral antibodies may be important for immune protection against B. mallei infe...

The multi-agent system (MAS) approach has been applied with promising results for enhancing an electric power distribution circuit, such as the Circuit of the Future as developed by Southern California Edison. These next generation power system results include better ability to reconfigure the circuit as well as the increased capability to improve the protection and enhance the reliability of t...
