In this paper we present a process of identifying individual and organizational values within an academic environment. These values have been identified by using Value Sensitive Approach (VSA) in the area of Information System Security (ISS). VSA is a methodological framework for identifying organizational and individual values. We believe that ISS objectives and ISS strategy suitable for each ...

We consider a finite number of nonlinear systems interconnected in an arbitrary way. Under the assumption that each subsystem is input-to-state stable (ISS) regarding the states of the other subsystems as inputs we are looking for conditions that guarantee input-to-state stability of the overall system. To this end we aim to construct an ISS-Lyapunov function for the interconnection using the k...

We develop tools for investigation of input-to-state stability (ISS) of infinite-dimensional control systems. We show that for certain classes of admissible inputs the existence of an ISS-Lyapunov function implies the inputto-state stability of a system. Then for the case of the systems described by abstract equations in Banach spaces we develop two methods of construction of local and global I...

Synthetic oligonucleotides containing CpG motifs in specific sequence contexts have been shown to induce potent immune responses. We have evaluated mucosal administration of two immunostimulatory sequence (ISS)-containing phosphorothioate-stabilized oligonucleotides for antiherpetic efficacy in animal models. The ISS oligonucleotides, suspended in phosphate-buffered saline, were tested in mouse...

We identified and computed the horizontal wavelengths of atmospheric gravity waves in clouds using a visible camera installed on window Columbus module International Space Station (ISS) controlled by Raspberry Pi computer. The experiment was designed context Astro challenge, project run ESA collaboration with Foundation, where students are allowed opportunity to write code be executed at ISS. A...

OBJECTIVES The Injury Severity Score (ISS) has served as the standard summary measure of anatomic injury for more than 20 years. Nevertheless, the ISS has an idiosyncrasy that both impairs its predictive power and complicates its calculation. We present here a simple modification of the ISS called the New Injury Severity Score (NISS), which significantly outperforms the venerable but dated ISS ...

BACKGROUND Portal vein ligation (PVL) combined with in situ splitting (ISS) has been shown to induce remarkable liver regeneration in patients. The purpose of this study was to establish a model of PVL+ISS in rats for exploring the possible mechanisms of liver regeneration using these techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rats were randomly assigned to three experimental groups: selective PVL, se...

Information systems security (ISS) has become one of the top agendas of companies located in the developed world. Despite this fact, there is an increasing trend in the types and frequency of ISS breaches. Most of the time researchers and practitioners focus on threat that are caused by external agents while most of the threats are originated from insiders. In addition to this, the majority of ...
