Maintaining Cyber Resilience in the Reconfigurable Networks with Immunization and Improved Network Game Methods

The paper proposes a technique for protecting reconfigurable networks that implements topology rebuilding, which combines immunization and network gaming methods, as a solution for maintaining cyber resilience.Immunization presumes an adaptive set of protective reconfigurations destined to ensure the functioning of a network.It is a protective reco

Overexpression of Adenylyl Cyclase Encoded by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv2212 Gene Confers Improved Fitness, Accelerated Recovery from Dormancy and Enhanced Virulence in Mice

Earlier we demonstrated that the adenylyl cyclase (AC) encoded by the MSMEG_4279 gene plays a key role in the resuscitation and growth of dormant Mycobacterium smegmatis and that overexpression of this gene leads to an increase in intracellular cAMP concentration and prevents the transition of M.smegmatis from active growth to dormancy in an extend

Uncertainty analysis of a spatially explicit annual water-balance model: case study of the Cape Fear basin, North Carolina

There is an increasing demand for assessment of water provisioning ecosystem services.While simple models with low data and expertise requirements are attractive, their use as decision-aid tools should be supported by uncertainty characterization.We assessed the performance of the InVEST annual water yield model, a popular tool for ecosystem servic

Footprints of Selection Derived From Temporal Heterozygosity Patterns in a Barley Nested Association Mapping Population

Nowadays, genetic diversity more than ever represents a key driver of adaptation to climate challenges like drought, heat, and salinity.Therefore, there is a need to replenish the limited elite gene pools with favorable exotic alleles from the wild progenitors of our crops.Nested association mapping (NAM) populations represent one step toward exoti

Nonexistence of Global Solutions to the Initial Boundary Value Problem for the Singularly Perturbed Sixth-Order Boussinesq-Type Equation

We are concerned with the singularly perturbed Boussinesq-type equation including Benches the singularly perturbed sixth-order Boussinesq equation, which describes the bidirectional propagation of small amplitude and long capillary-gravity waves on the surface of shallow water for bond number (surface tension parameter) less than but very close to
