Pheromone communication plays an important role process fly. Therefore, main goal present study was to investigate pheromone composition 7 different...
Aspects of the biology sugarcane pest Diatraea flavipennella (Box 1931) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), locally named broca-pequena da cana-de-açúcar, reared and maintained under laboratory conditions fed on an artificial diet have been investigated. The larval stage, which involved 7 instars, continued for a mean period 34.87 d. Each instar could be characterized by size cephalic capsule, increased 1.28-fold average between instars. duration pupal stage was 12.75 pupae exhibited sexual dimorphism...
Self-adaptive software systems are able to modify their own structure and/or behaviour at run-time in order cope with changes. During self-adaptation, new components may be incorporated the system. One crucial aspect when incorporating is test them for guaranteeing that they can interoperate as specified. However, this has been often neglected considering architectural reconfiguration. To deal problem, paper presents an approach dynamic generation of plans conducting integration testing...
We present an approach for dynamically reconfiguring the role-based access control (RBAC) of information systems running business processes, to protect them against insider threats. The new uses process execution traces and stochastic model checking establish confidence intervals key measurable attributes user behaviour, thus identify adaptively demote users who misuse their permissions maliciously or accidentally. implemented evaluated its policy specification formalism a real IT support...
Abstract The reengineering of systems into a microservice-based architecture can be seen as an implementation service-oriented (SOA). However, the deployment SOA enterprise is challenging task, it may involve modernization mission-critical with high technical debt and maintenance costs. To this end, process required to provide appropriate set steps techniques that minimize risks at same time ensure quality during migration process. Thus, work presents Service-oriented Process for...
Lupus nephritis (LN) is a common and severe manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that can lead to end-stage renal disease. According the Kidney Disease Outcomes Global Improving clinical Guidelines for Glomerulonephritis, spot urine protein/creatinine (P/C) ratio should be used monitoring LN. However, some reports write random P/C unreliable in proteinuria SLE glomerulonephritis patients. The aim this study was evaluate agreement these two assay methods.The prospective...
The diencephalic leaf of the Liliequist's membrane is a continuous structure that should be perforated in endoscopic third ventriculostomy. Its lateral borders are penetrated by cranial nerve and posterior communicating arteries. most important complication ventriculostomy vascular injury, such as artery. purpose this study to measure distance between arteries located below ventricle floor anterior mammillary bodies.
Although major advances have been made in protection of cloud platforms against malicious attacks, little has done regarding the these insider threats. This paper looks into this challenge by introducing self-adaptation as a mechanism to handle threats platforms, and will be demonstrated context OpenStack. OpenStack is popular platform that relies on Keystone, its identity management component, for controlling access resources. The use handling motivated fact shown quite effective dealing...
Distributed firewall systems emerged with the proposal of protecting individual hosts against attacks originating from inside network. In these systems, rules are centrally created, then distributed and enforced on all servers that compose firewall, restricting which services will be available. However, this approach lacks protection software vulnerabilities can make network vulnerable to attacks, since firewalls usually do not scan application protocols. sense, discovery any vulnerability...
The self-adaptation of a software system is complex process that depends on the requirements, its operational state and environment, which may change during lifetime. Hence, for coordinating should also be adaptable to changes occur run-time. As means systems, proposed approach employs workflows are dynamically generated dealing with variability associated process. In this context, our aim define develop techniques automatically generate systems. For demonstrating feasibility approach,...

Background. Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) has been regarded as an excellent marker of eosinophil activation in various diseases where eosinophil‐mediated inflammation plays a role. Recently, it suggested faecal intestinal several immune‐mediated with gastrointestinal expression. Owing to the scarcity information at paediatric age, establishment reference values is necessary before further clinical studies. Objective. To determine and serum ECP levels healthy children their association...
Currently the diversity of services, which are adhering to Identity Federation, has raised new challenges in area. Increasingly, service providers need control access their resources by users from federation as, even though user is authenticated federation, its cannot be taken for granted. Each Service Provider (SP) a implements own mechanism. Moreover, SPs might allow different granularity. For instance, all particular (IdP) may due some financial agreement. On other hand, it case that only...
Periodic routines have been traditionally identified in Social Sciences as the essential component of social organizations that are persistent time, with temporal continuity such constituting foundation preservation systems both between successive generations and extant immigrant populations. Open multiagent (MAS) are, thus, required to be organized around time-persistent periodic routines. In this paper we propose make use Coloured Petri Nets (CPN) for specification may characterize...
Abstract The federated identity model provides a solution for user authentication across multiple administrative domains. academic federations, such as the Brazilian federation, are examples of this in practice. majority institutions that participate federations employ password-based their users, with an attacker only needing to find out one password order personify all service providers. Multi-factor emerges increase robustness process. This article aims introduce comprehensive and open...
