Este modelo de segurança está principalmente relacionado com o gerenciamento de contabilidade em tempo real para múltiplos usuários e múltiplos provedores, onde os aspectos de segurança estão relacionados às políticas e mecanismos propostos pelos modelos de Segurança Multilateral e RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). O modelo foi validado através do uso da técnica de descrição formal LOTOS e também pela implementação de um protótipo.

Several methods extracting dense motion vector fields based mainly on optical flow techniques have been applied to a dataset of Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) images. The resulting vector fields have then been compared to sparse reference atmospheric vector (AMV) fields calculated with

It is about using the Internet for the transfer of information between employees using the company's in-house systems, between branch offices, between remote users, and between business partners, customers, suppliers and the public. E-business is also about automation.

The patient presented with a palpable mass and symptoms of intestinal obstruction, constipation and rectal discomfort. Rectal examination revealed a clearly visible mass. The treatment consisted of a surgical resection with wide margins. Pathology reported a leiomyoma. The patient was submitted to a careful clinical evaluation and a continuous follow up.

Research paper thumbnail of Development of a prototype based on TINA accounting and security management architecture

SCCC 2001. 21st International Conference of the Chilean Computer Science Society, 2001

Concepts and principles of TINA (Telecommunications Information Networking Architecture) are intr... more Concepts and principles of TINA (Telecommunications Information Networking Architecture) are introduced with the objective of correcting problems of centralized service control and service data model existent in IN (Intelligent Network). Now, it is becoming clear that future sophisticated services breaking away from the simple telephony call model, e.g., multimedia, multiparty conferencing, etc., will need to be rapidly and efficiently introduced, deployed, shared, operated and managed. In this context, TINA developed a comprehensive architecture for multi-service networks that will support multimedia services. On the other hand, the provisioning of all the service management functionality for TINA services (i.e. FCAPS) is still an open research question. In this paper, we discuss accounting features and requirements, security of accounting management, and issues for their integration in a TINA-based service environment. A prototype has been implemented to validate the concepts and results are also presented.

This troubles produce hypophonic, monotonous speech difficult to understand. Objectives: To evaluate the pharmacologic treatment compared to pharmacologic treatment plus logophonia the treatment in two groups

In early stages, the protein was found mainly in cytoplasm, whereas by the final stages, it was more abundant in the cytoskeletal compartment. The mAb cross-reacted with a-tropomyosin in smooth and striated muscle cells from chickens, mice, and humans, but did not cross-react with nonmuscle tropomyosin. 0 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
