LIGHTWEIGHT HASH-BASED AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOL FOR SMART GRIDS

Lightweight Hash-Based Authentication Protocol for Smart Grids

Smart grids integrate information and communications technology into the processes of electricity production, transportation, and consumption, thereby enabling interactions between power suppliers and consumers to increase the efficiency of the power grid.To achieve this, smart meters (SMs) are installed in households or buildings to measure electr

Composition, Succession, and Source Tracking of Microbial Communities throughout the Traditional Production of a Farmstead Cheese

ABSTRACT Prior to the advent of milk pasteurization and the use of defined-strain starter cultures, the production and ripening of cheese relied on the introduction and growth of adventitious microbes from the environment.This study characterized microbial community structures throughout a traditional farmstead cheese production continuum and evalu

Pangolins Lack IFIH1/MDA5, a Cytoplasmic RNA Sensor That Initiates Innate Immune Defense Upon Coronavirus Infection

Zoonotic infections are an imminent threat to human health.Pangolins were recently identified as carriers and intermediate hosts of coronaviruses.Previous research has shown that infection with coronaviruses activates an innate immune response upon sensing of viral RNA by interferon-induced ACCESSORIES EYEWEAR with helicase C domain 1 (IFIH1), also

Functional analysis of a pathogenesis-related thaumatin-like protein gene TaLr35PR5 from wheat induced by leaf rust fungus

Abstract Background Plants have evolved multifaceted defence mechanisms to resist pathogen infection.Production of the pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins in response to pathogen attack has been implicated in plant disease resistance specialized in systemic-acquired resistance (SAR).Our earlier studies have reported that a full T-Shirts length TaLr3
