Abstract: Health indicators express remarkable gaps in health systems at a world-wide level. Countries of all over the world are implementing new strategies, methodologies and technologies to better serve the millions of ...

Security is one of the main aspects to take into account when designing and developing web services. A meaning number of mechanisms of attack can lead to a web service system crash. As a result, the web service cannot allow ...

The effect of solid-state phase transformation at low temperature on residual stresses in butt welded ferritic thin steel plates has been examined employing a finite element (FE) code. An algorithm considering the solidstate ...

Data warehouses (DW) integrate different data sources in order to give a multidimensional view of them to the decision-maker. To this aim, the ETL (Extraction, Transformation and Load) processes are responsible for extracting ...

Optical fiber sensor networks are evolving rapidly. They are used because of the inert nature of optical fibers allowing no electromagnetic interference and safe applications in inflammable atmospheres; other relevant ...

Passive energy dissipation (PED devices have been implemented to enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced structural damage. In this paper metallic dampers are defined to be structural fuses (SF) when ...

This paper presents an improvement of the SCMAS architecture aimed at securing SQL-run databases. The main goal of such architecture is the detection and prevention of SQL injection attacks. The improvement consists in the ...

The removal of contaminants from liquid effluents by the adsorptive particulate flotation (APF) process, including new adsorbents and flotation devices, are reported. Herein, contaminants are adsorbed (and/or absorbed) ...

La temperatura de superficie es un factor central, como variable de control en los estudios de cambio climático, balance de calor y modelos climáticos. El conocimiento de la temperatura de superficie es importante para ...

One of the most serious security threats to recently deployed databases has been the SQL Injection attack. This paper presents an agent specialised in the detection of SQL injection attacks. The agent incorporates a ...
