One approach to assess the security of embedded IoT devices is applying dynamic analysis such as fuzz testing their firmware in scale. To this end, existing approaches aim provide an emulation environment that mimics behavior real hardware/peripherals. Nonetheless, practice, can emulate only a small fraction images. For example, Firmadyne, state-of-the-art tool, run 183 (16.28%) 1,124 wireless router/IP-camera images we collected from top eight manufacturers. Such low success rate caused by...
Metal–BODIPY complexes, rationally designed as photosensitizers, can effectively oxidize amyloidogenic peptides upon photoactivation at a relatively longer wavelength, resulting in altering their aggregation profiles.
The effects of various Cloisite nanoparticulate clays with different hydrophobicities on (80/20) polypropylene/polystyrene (PP/PS) blends were investigated using their linear and nonlinear rheological properties. In descending order hydrophobicity the four examined C20A > C10A C30B CNa+. Clays a wetting coefficient ωa between 1 −1, that is C10A, located at PP/PS polymer interfaces suppressed coalescence, while >1, CNa+, accumulated inside PS droplets increased viscosity ratios. As result,...
The effects of Cloisite nanoparticulate clays on the morphologies three biodegradable polymer blends, that is, poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), PLA/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), and succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA), were investigated by linear nonlinear rheological analysis. All PLA/PCL, PLA/PBAT, PLA/PBSA, blended at a ratio 80/20 wt %. Three different clays, C20A, C30B, CNa+, used as compatibilizers. Two organically modified C30B located interfaces between...
As a central feature of neuroinflammation, microglial dysfunction has been increasingly considered causative factor neurodegeneration implicating an intertwined pathology with amyloidogenic proteins. Herein, we report the smallest synthetic molecule ( N , ′-diacetyl- p -phenylenediamine [DAPPD]), simply composed benzene ring 2 acetamide groups at para position, known to date as chemical reagent that is able promote phagocytic aptitude microglia and subsequently ameliorate cognitive defects....
The deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregates and metal ions within senile plaques is a hallmark Alzheimer's disease (AD). Among the modifications observed in Aβ peptides, N-terminal truncation at Phe4, yielding Aβ4–x, highly prevalent AD-affected brains significantly alters Aβ's metal-binding aggregation profiles. Despite abundance Zn(II) plaques, its impact on toxicity Aβ4–x remains unexplored. Here, we report distinct behavior N-terminally truncated Aβ, specifically Aβ4–42, absence presence...
Abstract The fabrication of liquid crystalline (LC) organogel via supramolecular interactions between Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and lyotropic cationic surfactant containing cyanobiphenyl moiety is reported. fabricated endows dominantly viscous behavior in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) elastic n‐propanol (n‐PrOH), respectively. By judiciously controlling the viscosity, DMSO organogels can be drawn to form a fiber with an elongation up 4.6 × 10 3 %, emphasizing extraordinary stretchability....

Scanning ultraviolet light enables uniaxial through polymerization-induced diffusive mass flow using concentration gradient. While studying mechanical...
To achieve efficient heat dissipation using polymer composites, it is important to optimize the conduction pathway. Therefore, manipulating orientation of thermally conductive and anisotropic fillers in composites represents a judicious strategy. So far, external fields have been applied align within matrix.

Characterizing dispersion quality of polymer nanocomposite (PNC) is as important dispersing nanosized fillers in the matrix. In this study, to quantify PNCs, we used rheological properties, that is, linear viscoelasticities determined by small-amplitude oscillatory shear tests and nonlinear large-amplitude tests.
