SHRIFT System-Wide HybRid Information Flow Tracking

Using data flow tracking technology, one can observe how data flows from inputs (sources) to outputs (sinks) of a software system. It has been proposed [1] to do runtime data flow tracking at various layers simultaneously (operating system, application, data base, window manager, etc.), and connect the monitors’ observations to exploit semantic information about the layers to make analyses more...

Genetically Modified Corn— Environmental Benefits and Risks

Corn is one of humankind’s earliest innovations. It was domesticated 10,000 years ago when humans learned to cross-pollinate plants and slowly turned a scraggly nondescript grass called teosinte into plump, productive modern corn (Figure 1). As needs change, so does plant breeding. Today, while biotech super-giants manipulate corn genetics to satisfy farmer desires and a global market, indigeno...

Thiol modified Au nanoparticles grafted manganese doped magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles for spectrometric determination of short-term release of mercury and copper from dental amalgam in saliva

Abstract A new adsorbent, ethylene glycol bisthioglycolate modified gold nanoparticles grafted Mn doped Fe3O4 nanoparticles (EGBTG-Au@Mn-Fe3O4 NPs) were synthesized through chemical precipitation followed by an oxidative Mn doping process to use for extraction and preconcentration of trace amounts of Hg, and Cu ions in artificial and natural saliva. The prepared adsorbent was characterize...
