Bats are key species for ecological function, but they are also reservoirs of zoonotic agents, such as lyssaviruses that cause rabies. Little is known about the maintenance and transmission of lyssaviruses in bats, although the...
Congestion Control for NDN-Based MANETs
Dimitris Kanellopoulos
Sep 01, 2021
A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) has several intrinsic features that create unique queuing dynamics, and thus congestion control inside a MANET must be achieved under time-critical conditions. Meanwhile, the Named Data Networking...

Ca2+ Release by IP3 Receptors Is Required to Orient the Mitotic Spindle.
The mitotic spindle distributes chromosomes evenly to daughter cells during mitosis. The orientation of the spindle, guided by internal and external cues, determines the axis of cell division and thereby contributes to tissue...
Evaluating the Presence of Greek Tourism-Related Public Sector Entities in Online Social Networks
Social networks have become one of the most popular tools in promoting the tourism product. This applies to National Tourism Agencies, as well as tourism-related general government bodies (GGBs) and local authorities (LAs). This...

Local context influences memory for emotional stimuli but not electrophysiological markers of emotion-dependent attention.
Emotional enhancement of free recall can be context dependent. It is readily observed when emotional and neutral scenes are encoded and recalled together in a "mixed" list, but diminishes when these scenes are encoded separately...
Influence of Flow Coefficient on Ingress Through Turbine Rim Seals
Rim seals are critical in terms of limiting the temperature of highly-stressed engine components but function with a penalty to the power output and contribute to entropy gain stemming from mixing losses in the turbine. Ingress...
