The discovery by the ATLAS and CMS experiments of a new boson with mass around 125 GeV measured properties compatible those Standard-Model Higgs boson, coupled absence discoveries phenomena beyond Standard Model at TeV scale, has triggered interest in ideas for future factories. A circular e+e- collider hosted 80 to 100 km tunnel, TLEP, is among most attractive solutions proposed so far. It clean experimental environment, produces high luminosity top-quark, W Z studies, accommodates multiple...
There is growing interest in the radiotherapy community application of FLASH radiotherapy, wherein dose delivered to entire treatment volume less than a second. Early pre-clinical evidence suggests that these extremely high rates provide significant sparing healthy tissue compared conventional without reducing damage cancerous cells. This has been reflected proton therapy community, with early tests indicating effect also present rate irradiation.In order deliver clinically relevant doses at...
Computer networks connected to the Internet continue be compromised and exploited by hackers. This is in spite of fact that many run some type security mechanism at their connection Internet. Large enterprise networks, such as network for a major university, are very inviting targets hackers who looking exploit networks. may consist machines running numerous operating systems. These normally have enormous storage capabilities high speed/high bandwidth connections Due requirements academic...
Rapidly detecting and classifying malicious activity contained within network traffic is a challenging problem exacerbated by large datasets functionally limited manual analysis tools. Even on small network, of inefficient extremely time consuming. Current machine processing techniques, while fast, suffer from an unacceptable percentage false positives negatives. To complement both automated traffic, we applied information visualization techniques to appropriately effectively bring the human...
A prototype implementation of a wireless intrusion detection and active response system is described. An off the shelf access point was modified by downloading new Linux operating with nonstandard functionality in order to implement that has ability actively respond identified threats. overview characteristics required presented along review comparison existing systems functionalities. Implemented capabilities our prototyped are conclusions as what necessary more desirable capable system.
The ad-hoc methodology that is prevalent in today's testing and evaluation of network intrusion detection algorithms systems makes it difficult to compare different approaches. After conducting a survey the literature on methods techniques being used, can be seen new approach incorporates an open source environment would benefit information assurance community. summarizing presenting several example test environments have been used past, we propose for use by researchers developers denial...
This report describes the conceptual design of a proposed free electron laser test facility called CLARA that will be major upgrade to existing VELA accelerator at Daresbury Laboratory in UK. able number new schemes have been but require proof principle experiment confirm they perform as predicted. The primary focus on ultra short photon pulse generation which take lasers into whole regime, enabling area science emerge.
Abstract A new low molar mass chiral organosiloxane mesogen and its racemic analogue have been synthesized their mesomorphic ferroelectric properties investigated. The derivative, denoted A∗B, exhibits one tilted enantiotropic smectic C mesophase over a broad temperature range, with very high tilt angles moderate spontaneous polarization (36° 19 nC cm−2 at 20°C). achiral siloxane phase. Preliminary electro-optic measurements indicate that the is weakly dependent on between 10°C 50°C, latter...
This paper presents the integration of multiprotocol label switching with hierarchical mobile IPv6. The resulting micromobility-based MPLS (M-MPLS) is defined in two modes operation: overlay and integrated. In an framework HMIP operate on their respective layers without having common processes, tables, or signaling. integrated framework, related functions are merged. overall goal to facilitate efficient reliable network operations while simultaneously optimizing utilization system performance.
Existing techniques to detect kernel-level rootkits expose some infections, but they don't identify specific attacks. This rootkit categorization approach helps system administrators the extent of aiding in optimal recovery and faster reactions future The authors present a framework classify discuss methodology for determining if has been infected by rootkit. Once infection is established, can create new signatures them. conducted their research on Red Hat Linux-based system, applicable...
