Application of Cybernetics and Control Theory for a New Paradigm in Cybersecurity
(Virginia Tech, 2013-11-01)
A significant limitation of current cyber security research and techniques is its reactive and applied nature. This leads to a continuous ‘cyber cycle’ of attackers scanning networks, developing exploits and attacking ...
Lantern Field: Exploring Participatory Design of a Communal, Spatially Responsive Installation
(NIME, 2013-05)
Lantern Field is a communal, site-specific installation that takes shape as a spatially responsive audio-visual field. The public participates in the creation of the installation, resulting in shared ownership of the work ...
Engineering News : Spring 2013
(Virginia Tech. College of Engineering, 2013)
College of Engineering researchers are continuing to work on a multi-university, nationwide project for the U.S. Navy that one day will put life-like autonomous robot jellyfish in waters around the world. Several sizes of ...

(Virginia Tech. Center for Power Electronics Systems, 2013)
The CPES industrial consortium is designed to cultivate connectivity among researchers in academia and industry, as well as create synergy within the network of industry members. The CPES industrial consortium offers: The ...
Predictive Eco-Cruise Control (ECC) System: Model Development, Modeling and Potential Benefits
(United States. Department of Transportation. Research and Innovative Technology Administration, 2013-02-19)
The research develops a reference model of a predictive eco-cruise control (ECC) system that intelligently modulates vehicle speed within a pre-set speed range to minimize vehicle fuel consumption levels using roadway ...
Pronounced hypoxia in the subventricular zone following traumatic brain injury and the neural stem/progenitor cell response
(Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2013-07-04)
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) elicits identifiable changes within the adult subventricular zone (SVZ). Previously, we demonstrated that EphB3/ephrinB3 interaction inhibits neural stem/progenitor cell (NSPC) proliferation ...
Process Authentication for High System Assurance
(IEEE Computer Society, 2013-07-11)
This paper points out the need in modern operating system kernels for a process authentication mechanism, where a process of a user-level application proves its identity to the kernel. Process authentication is different ...
Pathology of non-thermal irreversible electroporation (N-TIRE)-induced ablation of the canine brain
(KOREAN SOC VETERINARY SCIENCE, 2013-12-01)
This study describes the neuropathologic features of normal canine brain ablated with non-thermal irreversible electroporation (N-TIRE). The parietal cerebral cortices of four dogs were treated with N-TIRE using a ...
Insights into mechanisms governing forest carbon response to nitrogen deposition: a model–data comparison using observed responses to nitrogen addition
(Copernicus Publications, 2013-06-17)
In many forest ecosystems, nitrogen (N) deposition enhances plant uptake of carbon dioxide, thus reducing climate warming from fossil fuel emissions. Therefore, accurately modeling how forest carbon (C) sequestration ...
