Ad hoc networks are expected to be used in many different situations. A common characteristic among these situations is that the nodes have to cooperate with each other. This problem is particularly crucial, if each node is its own authority. Reckoning the ...
Gradual clogging of the apertures of nanostencils used as miniature shadow masks in metal evaporations can be reduced by coating the stencil with self-assembled monolayers (SAM). This is quantified by the dimensions (height and volume) of gold features obt ...
In this paper we investigate a new way of protecting block ciphers against classes of attacks (including differential and linear crypt-analysis) which is based on the notion of decorrelation which is fairly connected to Carter-Wegman's notion of universal ...
We consider a closed social network with a certain proportion of liars who are trying to influence their peers reputation about some subject. Each persons reputation about this subject is based on both own direct experience and second hand information fr ...
Std. bioprocess conditions have been widely applied for the microbial conversion of raw material to essential industrial products. Successful metabolic engineering (ME) strategies require a comprehensive framework to manage the complexity embedded in cellu ...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new treatment modality which relies on a nonthermal light exposure of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) which has accumulated a photosensitizer, to produce a photochemical thrombosis. The aim of the present study was to dev ...
During the last 20 years, backscattered electron imaging of polished surfaces has become well established as a method for the study of cement and concrete microstructures. The technique has many advantages, including the visualisation of representative cro ...
One of the central problems in metabolic engineering deals with the identification of the "rate limiting steps", i.e. enzymes whose activities one should manipulate towards the achievement of a desirable performance. However, uncertainty about the kinetic ...
A formalized theory of alpha-conversion for the pi-calculus in Isabelle/HOL is presented. Following a recent proposal by Gabbay and Pitts, substitutions are modelled in terms of permutations, and alpha-equivalence is defined over all but finitely many name ...
The present paper presents an overview of the work of the RILEM Technical Committee 159-ETC on the engineering of the interfacial transition zone in cementitious composites. The object of this committee was to resolve the practical influences of the interf ...
