Aims: This study was carried out to further characterize fungal species that could degrade 3-chloropropionic acid (3CP)as sole source of carbon and energy. Methodology and Results: Both fungi were able to grow on 3CP after 10 days on solid minimal media. Based on sequencing of its segment of 18S rRNA these isolates were identified as Mucor sp. SP1

Intrusion handling in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) is a relatively less addressed topic. The difficulty may lie in the fact that there are other wireless networks for which some intrusion detection or prevention schemes (IDS or IPS) are proposed that could also be applied in some way in a WMN setting. As those schemes are contributing, researchers

The paper specifically examines the pre fraud firms’ characteristics for over 3 years before fraud occurred. Selections of companies were made from Securities Commissions’ enforcement actions released between the years 2000 until 2008. A matched pair sampling was made with the control group, and 192 firms’ observations were made. Findings rev

The purpose of this paper is to provide valuable insights into the characteristics of fraudulent financial reporting in the period pre- and post-fraud. The objective of the study is to examine signals or red flags that exist among fraud firms such as their audit committee size, audit committee independence, board’s size, independent directors, bl

The paper specifically examines the post fraud firms’ characteristics for over 3 years after fraud had occurred. Selections of companies were made from Securities Commissions’ enforcement actions released between the years 2000 until 2008. A matched pair sampling was made with the control group, and 256 firms’ observations were made. Findings
