A basic probability assignment methodology for unsupervised wireless intrusion detection by Ibrahim Ghafir, Kostas Kyriakopoulos, Francisco J. Aparicio-Navarro, Sangarapillai Lambotharan, Basil AsSadhan, Hamad BinSalleeh

“…Then, D-S is used to fuse the BPA values to classify whether the Wi-Fi frame is normal (i.e. non-malicious) or malicious. The proposed methodology provides 100% True Positive Rate (TPR) and 4.23% False Positive Rate (FPR) for the MitM attack, and 100% TPR and 2.44% FPR for the deauthentication attack, which confirm the efficiency of the dynamic BPA generation methodology.…”

Development of a multi-body computational model of human head and neck by David W. van Lopik, Memis Acar

Computational modelling offers a cost effective and useful alternative to experimental methods to study the behaviour of the human head and neck and their response to impacts to gain insight into injury mechanisms. …”
