Self-Sterilizing Sputtered Films for Applications in Hospital Facilities.

This review addresses the preparation of antibacterial 2D textile and thin polymer films and 3D surfaces like catheters for applications in hospital and health care facilities. The sputtering of films applying different levels of energy led to the deposition of metal/oxide/composite/films showing differentiated antibacterial kinetics and surface microstructure. The optimization of the film comp...

Inoculating SSH Against Address Harvesting

Address harvesting is the act of searching a compromised host for the names and addresses of other targets to attack, such as occurs when an email virus locates target addresses from users’ address lists or mail archives. We examine how host addresses harvested from Secure Shell (SSH) clients’ known hosts files can aid those attacking SSH servers. Each user’s known hosts file contains the names...

Inoculating Relevance Feedback Against Poison Pills

Propylene oxide as sterilizing agent.

Liquid propylene oxide added to a variety of disinfectant solutions resulted in a significant reduction of the bacterial spore content of these solutions.
