Defining Hsp70 Subnetworks in Dengue Virus Replication Reveals Key Vulnerability in Flavivirus Infection

Viral protein homeostasis depends entirely on the machinery of the infected cell. Accordingly, viruses can illuminate the interplay between cellular proteostasis components and their distinct substrates. Here, we define how the Hsp70 chaperone network mediates the dengue virus life cycle. Cytosolic Hsp70 isoforms are required at distinct steps of the viral cycle, including entry, RNA replicatio...

Defining and Assessing Quantitative Security Risk Measures Using Vulnerability Lifecycle and CVSS Metrics

Known vulnerabilities which have been discovered but not patched represents a security risk which can lead to considerable financial damage or loss of reputation. They include vulnerabilities that have either no patches available or for which patches are applied after some delay. Exploitation is even possible before public disclosure of a vulnerability. This paper formally defines risk measures...

Defining disability – Re-defining policy

Introduction: In 2002, an EC study reported that different European countries define disability differently, and this is one of the primary reasons why no common Europe-wide policies on disability exist. The EU-MHADIE project was funded with the aim of producing recommendations and guidelines for future common disability policies. The WHO’s ICF classification and its bio-psycho-social model of ...

You've Got Vulnerability: Exploring Effective Vulnerability Notifications

Security researchers can send vulnerability notifications to take proactive measures in securing systems at scale. However, the factors affecting a notification’s efficacy have not been deeply explored. In this paper, we report on an extensive study of notifying thousands of parties of security issues present within their networks, with an aim of illuminating which fundamental aspects of notifi...
