Since several years, the overall awareness for the necessity to consider a vehicle as a potentially vulnerable system is facing accelerated growth.In 2015, the safety relevant exploitability of vulnerabilities through cyber attacks was exposed orly impressions to a broader public for the first time.Only a few months after this attack has reached pu
A Computational Fluid Dynamics Investigation of a Flapping Hydrofoil as a Thruster
The paper features a computational fluid dynamics study of a flapping NACA0015 hydrofoil moving with a combination of sinusoidal heaving and pitching.Several kinematic configurations are explored, varying sequentially pitch and heave amplitude, Strouhal number and phase angle, in an attempt to determine the influence of each parameter on the propul
Recent advances in wearable sensors for animal health management
Biosensors, as an application for animal health management, are an emerging market that is quickly gaining recognition in the global market.Globally, a number of sensors being produced for animal health management are at various stages of commercialization.Some technologies for producing an accurate health status and disease diagnosis are applicabl
Economic Sanctions at the Beginning of the Third Millennium
The enforcement of obligations in international relations timbren gmfk25s is not governed by a supranational authority; sanctions (economic, diplomatic, communication) represent one of the possible ways in which a state may put through its rights and interests.The group of economic sanctions is very wide, and it covers measures a!ecting trade or fi
25-Hydroxycholesterol and 27-hydroxycholesterol inhibit human rotavirus infection by sequestering viral particles into late endosomes
A novel innate immune strategy, involving specific cholesterol oxidation products as effectors, has begun to reveal connections between cholesterol metabolism and immune response against viral infections.Indeed, 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC) and 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC), physiologically produced by enzymatic oxidation of cholesterol, act as inhi
