Quick and accurate detection of inside packet drop Waders attackers is of critical importance to reduce the damage they can have on the network.Trust mechanisms have been widely used in wireless sensor networks for this purpose.However, existing trust models are not effective because they cannot distinguish between packet drops caused by an attack
In the pharmaceutical sector, evergreening is considered a range of practices applied to extend monopoly protection on existing products.Filing several patent applications related to the same active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is one of the most common manifestations of evergreening.During the COVID-19 pandemic, several health technologies were
Abstract Pepper (Capsicum spp.) is one of the earliest cultivated crops and includes five domesticated species, C.annuum var.annuum, C.chinense, C.frutescens, C.baccatum var.pendulum and C.pubescens.Here, we report a pepper graph pan-genome and a genome variation map of 500 accessions from the five domesticated Capsicum species and close wild relat
In previous work, the authors derived a mathematical expression for the optimal Champagne Glasses (or "saturation") number of reinsurers for a given number of primary insurers (see Powers and Shubik, 2001).In the current article, we show analytically that, for large numbers of primary insurers, this mathematical expression provides a "square-root r
Multibeam sounding is a high-precision remote sensing method for seabed detection.Seabed topography classification is crucial for marine science research, resource exploration and engineering.When using multibeam data for seabed topography automatic classification, the fuzzy boundaries of different topographic entities, redundancy of multimodal dat
