In this paper the methodology of firewalled LAN models construction in the form of Colored Petri Net is introduced and model the ACL (Access Control List ) in firewalls as the first form of defense for the simulation and analysis of the model the Design/CPN Tools is used The components of the model are Firewall, Switch, Hub, Server and Workstation.

Callosal projection neurons (CPN) interconnect the neocortical hemispheres via the corpus callosum and are implicated in associative integration of multimodal information. CPN have undergone differential evolutionary elaboration, leading to increased diversity of cortical neurons-and more extensive and varied connections in neocortical gray and white matter-in primates compared with rodents. In...

Pathology consistent with that observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD) has previously been documented following intranasal infection of normal wild-type mice with Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn) isolated from an AD brain (96-41). In the current study, BALB/c mice were intranasally infected with a laboratory strain of Cpn, AR-39, and brain and olfactory bulbs were obtained at 1-4 months post-infection (...

Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn) could have three distinguishable causal effects as an asthma inducer. First, an acute infection (or reactivation of a latent infection) could cause an acute worsening of preexisting asthma. Indeed, it is generally accepted that acute Cpn infection can cause some acute asthma exacnhations('~*) but most evidence suggests that other organisms [mainly respiratory viruses,...

background: recent studies have suggested that chronic infections with chlamydia pneumoniae (cpn) and helicobacter pylori (hp) may be associated with the risk of myocardial infarction (mi). methods: a cross sectional study was conducted on 140 citizens. seroprevalence was assessed by elisa tests measuring iga and igg antibodies to cpn and hp in sera. results: among patients, %11.4 and %90.0 wer...

With any Petri net we associated its CPN language which consists of all sequences of transitions which reach a marking with an empty place whereas all proper prefixes of the sequence lead to positive markings. We prove that any CPN language can be accepted by a partially blind multicounter machine, and that any partially blind multicounter language is the morphic image of some CPN language. As ...

Human CPN (carboxypeptidase N) is a tetrameric plasma enzyme containing two glycosylated 83 kDa non-catalytic/regulatory subunits that carry and protect two active catalytic subunits. Because CPN can regulate the level of plasminogen binding to cell surface proteins, we investigated how plasmin cleaves CPN and the consequences. The products of hydrolysis were analysed by activity assays, Wester...

We present an industrial project at Ericsson Telebit A/S where Coloured Petri Nets (CP-nets or CPNs) have been used for the design and specification of an edge router discovery protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks. The Edge Router Discovery Protocol (ERDP) supports an edge router in a stationary core network in assigning network address prefixes to gateways in mobile ad-hoc networks. This paper ...

Many authors have shown an association between Chlamydia pneumoniae (CPn) infection and coronary artery disease (CAD). However, whether CPn infection demonstrated by CPn DNA presence in the artery wall plays an important role in pathogenesis of CAD and acute coronary events (i.e. unstable angina) remains to be elucidated. One hundred and fifteen consecutive patients with CAD (51 with unstable a...

BACKGROUND Carboxypeptidase N (CPN) is important in regulating vasoactive peptide hormones, growth factors, and cytokines by specifically cleaving their C-terminal basic residues. We investigated whether circulating peptides specifically cleaved by CPN in the tumor microenvironment can be stage-specific indicators of breast cancer. METHODS CPN activity was measured using an ex vivo peptide cl...
