Assuring the Guardians
Ultra-critical systems are growing more complex, and future systems are likely to be autonomous and cannot be assured by traditional means. Runtime Verification (RV) can act as the last line of defense to protect the public safety, but only if the RV system itself is trusted. In this paper, we describe a model-checking framework for runtime monitors. This tool is integrated into the Copilot lan...
متن کاملGenome Guardians
Small RNAs bound by Argonaute proteins, such as piRNAs, have been shown in eukaryotes to silence foreign DNA elements like transposons by promoting the formation of heterochromatin. Other Argonaute-bound RNAs, such as microRNAs and siRNAs, induce posttranscriptional gene silencing. Homologs of Argonautes have been identified in prokaryotes, and bioinformatic analysis has suggested they may act ...
متن کاملThe inflammasomes: guardians of the body.
The innate immune system relies on its capacity to rapidly detect invading pathogenic microbes as foreign and to eliminate them. The discovery of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) provided a class of membrane receptors that sense extracellular microbes and trigger antipathogen signaling cascades. More recently, intracellular microbial sensors have been identified, including NOD-like receptors (NLRs). ...

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
MAIT cells: new guardians of the liver
The liver is an important immunological organ that remains sterile and tolerogenic in homeostasis, despite continual exposure to non-self food and microbial-derived products from the gut. However, where intestinal mucosal defenses are breached or in the presence of a systemic infection, the liver acts as a second 'firewall', because of its enrichment with innate effector cells able to rapidly r...
