Differential expression of 10 genes in the hypothalamus of two generations of rats selected for a reaction to humans by N. V. Klimova, I. V. Chadaeva, S. G. Shichevich, R. V. Kozhemyakina

“…Specifically, it was shown that the expression of the Cacna1b, Drd2, Egr1, and Gad2 genes does not differ between the two generations (88th vs 90th) within each strain, but significantly differs between the strains: in the tame rats of both generations, the expression levels of these genes are significantly lower as compared to those in the aggressive rats. Therefore, these genes hold promise for further studies on behavioral characteristics. …”

Effects on lifetime of opportunistic network based on Epidemic routing under flooding attacks by Jian-zhi SUN, Ying-xin ZHANG, Dan CHEN, Zhong-ming HAN

“…In some scenarios of opportunistic network,energy could not be replenished.It was prone to flooding attacks in opportunistic network.The energy consumption of nodes and the effect on the network lifetime caused by flooding at-tacks under the mechanism of the Epidemic routing was analyzed.The analysis showed that the increase of malicious nodes had significant effects on network lifetime,and the number of packets from malicious nodes can only had effects in particular scenarios,and had minimal effects.ONE to simulate flooding attacks was used,the simulation results are same as the theoretical analysis.…”
