Assessing the role of dens in the spread, establishment and persistence of sarcoptic mange in an endangered canid
Sarcoptic mange is a skin disease caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei that can devastate populations of wild species.S.scabiei can survive off-host and remain infective for specific periods.In den-dwelling species, dislodged mites could be protected from the environmental conditions that impair their survival thus supporting pathogen transmission.
New key management scheme lattice-based for clustered wireless sensor networks
Aiming at the quantum algorithm which can solve the problem of large integer decomposition and discrete logarithm in polynomial time, an anti-quantum computing key management scheme for clustered sensor networks is proposed in this paper.The lattice-based cryptosystem is used to achieve the anti-quantum performance of the key management scheme, and
