Window Still Closing

Advanced Technologies/Tactics Techniques, Procedures: Closing the Attack Window, and Thresholds for Reporting and Containment

New techniques, tactics, and procedures (TTPs) are now available to strengthen security postures and become more resilient to cyber threats. Most of these technologies are accessible and affordable, and they are showing promising results. This paper exemplifies eight specific advanced techniques, tactics, and procedures to counter cyber threats, including using moving target architectures to co...

Almost closing the MSM sterile neutrino dark matter window with NuSTAR

Closing the light sbottom mass window from a compilation of e+e− → hadron data

The e+e− → hadron cross section data from PEP, PETRA, TRISTAN, SLC and LEP, at centre-of-mass energies between 20 to 209GeV, are analysed to search for the production of a pair of light sbottoms decaying hadronically via R-parityviolating couplings. This analysis allows the 95%C.L. exclusion of such a particle if its mass is below 7.5GeV/c2. The light sbottom mass window is closed. To be publis...

A data-mining approach to discover patterns of window opening and closing behavior in offices

Understanding the relationship between occupant behaviors and building energy consumption is one of the most effective ways to bridge the gap between predicted and actual energy consumption in buildings. However effective methodologies to remove the impact of other variables on building energy consumption and isolate the leverage of the human factor precisely are still poorly investigated. More...

Closing the Window on Light Charged Higgs Bosons in the NMSSM

In the Next-to-Minimal SuperSymmetric Model (NMSSM) the lightest CP-odd Higgs bosons (a1) can be very light. As a consequence, in addition to the standard charged Higgs boson (h±) decays considered in the MSSM for a light charged Higgs (mh± < mt), the branching fraction for h ± → a1W can be dominant. We investigate how this signal can be searched for in tt̄ production at the Large Hadron Collide...
