Network intrusion prevention in the evolved packet core utilising software defined networks and network function virtualisation by Jarvis, Keagan

“…This research aims to utilise SDN and NFV to mitigate this issue by only allowing for critical network paths to be traversable in a virtualised CN without triggering alerts and node quarantines. The CN of a MN controls/manages all network traffic flows through the mobile network from User Equipment (UE) to a backhaul network (e.g., the Internet). …”

Robust and cheating-resilient power auctioning on Resource Constrained Smart Micro-Grids by Marufu, Mufudzi Anesu Chapman

“…Second, to handle CDA performance issues due to malfunctioning devices on an unreliable network (such as a lossy network), we extend our proposed CDA scheme to ensure robustness to failure. Using node redundancy, we modify the MUTEX protocol supporting our CDA algorithm to handle fail-stop and some Byzantine type faults of sites. …”

Three cocluded insect viruses : a biophysical and biological study of the nuclear-polyhedrosis virus of Colias electo, the granulosis virus of Heliothis armigera and the nuclear-po... by Gitay, Hela

“…The morphology of the polyhedra, capsules and virus particles observed by light and electron microscopy has been completed and measurements of the viral elements have been made. Some biophysical properties of the virus particles and their inclusion bodies were recorded, i.e. their resistance to chemical and physical treatments and their relative mobility in an electric field under standard conditions. …”
