Recovering from Faulty Device Drivers

Several studies (see Swift et. al.’s study of Windows XP in SOSP 2003 and Chou et. al’s study of Linux in SOSP 2001) have attributed a large fraction of operating system failures to device driver flaws. Not only can driver errors cause kernel instability, but these errors can also be exploited for privilege escalation and access to kernel data structures. A search on securityfocus.com shows vul...

Prove that a faulty multiplier is faulty ! ? Sandro

Formal verification of integer multipliers was an open problem for a long time as the size of any reduced ordered binary decision diagram (BDD) [1] which represents integer multiplication is exponential in the width of the operands [2]. In 1995, Bryant and Chen [4] introduced multiplicative binary moment diagrams (*BMD) which is a canonical data structure for pseudo Boolean functions allowing a...

Labile Hypertension: A Faulty Concept?

Labile blood pressure elevation is believed to have less clinical significance than "fixed hypertension." This assertion was examined in the Framingham cohort of 5209 men and women followed for 20 years for the development of cardiovascular events in relation to three routinely measured blood pressures at each of 10 biennial examinations. Variability of pressure judged from the standard deviati...

A Thermodynamic Study of the Interactions between Acetamide Derivatives and PCA-PEG-PCA Copolymers: ONIOM Calculations

To improve drug selectivity toward target cells, one interesting approach for drug delivery is to use polymer nanoparticles. A two-layered ONIOM Becke3- LYP: UFF calculation was carried out to study the structural and thermodynamic properties of the interaction between acetamide derivatives and the PCA-PEG-PCA copolymers. The Interaction enthalpies and the Gibbs free energies between acetamide ...
