Microbial Degradation of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene In Vitro and in Natural Environments
2013
2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a nitroaromatic explosive that was released into soil and water ecosystems mainly due to its massive use during the two world wars.
Long-Term Reward Patterns Contribute to Personal Goals at Work Among Finnish Managers
2016
The research addresses the impact of long-term reward patterns on contents of personal work goals among young Finnish managers ( N = 747). Reward patterns were formed on the basis of perceived and objective career rewards (i.e., career stability and promotions) across four measurements (years 2006–2012). Goals were measured in 2012 and classified into categories of competence, progression, well-being, job change, job security, organization, and financial goals. The factor mixture analysis identified a three-class solution as the best model of reward patterns: high rewards (77%), increasing rewards (17%), and reducing rewards (7%). Participants with reducing rewards reported more progressio…
An API for Advanced Traffic Control in Diffserv Routers
2003
Distributed per-flow admission control is a promising solution for Differentiated Services networks. Its deployment in DiffSery domains requires the ability to suitably configure, in each network router, low-level packet forwarding mechanisms, such as packet dropping algorithms driven by traffic measurements. In this paper we first show that performance effectiveness is achieved by means of non traditional configuration of the forwarding mechanisms. Hence, we propose a modular Application Program Interface that allows to flexibly and adaptively configure the forwarding/dropping behavior associated to a router’s output queue, well beyond the traditional RED/RIO active queue management scheme…
Assignment of Roles and Channels for a Multichannel MAC in Wireless Mesh Networks
2009
International audience; A multichannel MAC improves throughput in wireless mesh networks by multiplexing transmissions over orthogonal channels. In this paper, we propose an efficient way for constructing the wireless mesh structure associated with Molecular MAC, a multichannel MAC layer designed for efficient packet forwarding. Molecular MAC outperforms other classical approaches, but requires a specific structure for efficient operation. First, we propose a centralized protocol that provides an upper bound for constructing such a molecular structure through a MILP (Mixed Integer Linear Programming) formulation that maximizes network capacity. Then, we present two distributed self-stabiliz…
An intrusion detection system for selective forwarding attack in IPv6-based mobile WSNs
2017
Selective forwarding attack is considered among the most dangerous attack in wireless sensor networks, particularly in mobile environment. The attackers compromise legitimate nodes and selectively drop some packets. In addition to that, the movement of some nodes increases link failures, collisions and packet loss. So, it will be more difficult to detect malicious nodes from legitimates ones. This paper focuses on detecting selective forwarding attackers in IPv6-based mobile wireless sensor networks when the standardized IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) is used. Contrarily to previous works which propose solutions to detect selective forwarding attack in static w…
Latency factor in worldwide IP routed networks
2014
Current Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) serves for worldwide internet backbone connections between different Autonomous Systems (AS) on the routing level. Continuously in real-time changing environment core routers calculate routing decisions based on path-vector database entries. AS path-vector database may contain multiple paths for various Internet Protocol (IP) prefix destinations where smallest entity in the path-vector is AS. In real world AS can be internet service operator, university or any other organization willing to participate in internet network via multi-homed uplinks. Unfortunately, internal part of AS is hidden in path-vector database thus excluding factors like latency, pac…
Transportation Services as Specific Logistics Projects for Oversized Cargo in Poland
2016
Market observation demonstrates that the transportation-freight forwarding-logistics sector carries out diverse projects based on clients’ orders. The majority of those orders are unique and project related. Recently, the project approach to logistics has gained significance. Logistics project management is a relatively new area of knowledge about logistics and supply chains. The paper presents the essence and characteristics of transportation services as a specific logistics project. The authors characterize the transportation-freight forwarding-logistics sector, with particular focus on the sector of oversized cargo transportation. The demand for such services depends on the industry, ene…

Risultati conclusivi del progetto SKIDDFORW
Influence of social stress on the rewarding effects of cocaine
2016
Les relacions socials són un procés crucial en el desenvolupament de l’ésser humà, i en altres espècies socials que viuen en jerarquies socials complexes. L’entorn i l’ambient en el qual es desenvolupa un individu és fonamental, ja que tindrà un gran impacte sobre el seu benestar, el manteniment de la salut i la seua supervivència (Kessler i cols., 2010). La resposta a l'estrés és un factor clau en el manteniment de l'homeòstasi i la salut de l'individu. Aquesta dependrà de la interacció amb l’entorn i l’activitat de certs sistemes regulatoris de l’organisme, com són el sistema nerviós simpàtic i l’eix hipotàlem-hipofisari-adrenal (HPA) (Stratakis i Chrousos, 1995). Diferents tipus d'estrés…
Art and Commitment in the British Music Hall in its Golden Age
2013
International audience; My own speciality is the British music-hall, especially its later period, after 1900. I like to see this form of popular entertainment as fitting into a series of stories: at least three storiesFirstly, as an industry, and as a repertoire of songs, it fits into the history of popular music, in the period before the domination of recorded or broadcast music, when live performance and sheet music were practically the only modes of distribution. It is a period when many aspects of today’s popular music were not present – there were no live recordings of songs to contrast with their studio versions, no post-production, and where singing along in a group, rather than othe…
