PROMISing Steps Towards Computer Hygiene

چکیده
Recent worm epidemics proved beyond any doubt that the existing centralized worm containment mechanisms are no longer adequate to protect vulnerable systems, resulting in a shift towards distributed cooperative systems that aim to safeguard and immunize the susceptible population by automatically vaccinating them. We present PROMIS, a P2P based algorithm that provides its participants with early information regarding the existence of a worm epidemic and lets them automatically adjust their security level. We argue that our approach is based on the principles of hygiene: taking the basic precautions to avoid infection when an epidemic is on the rise. The ultimate security is your understanding of reality —H. Stanley Judd

I-25: New Steps towards The Artificial Ovary
Background: In recent years, transplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue has proved to be a promising approach to restore fertility in cancer patients. However, such a procedure cannot be carried out in women at risk of ovarian involvement due to the threat of reintroducing malignant cells. The aim of this study was therefore to create an artificial ovary as an alternative to restore fertil...
متن کاملTowards Vision-Based Smart Hospitals: A System for Tracking and Monitoring Hand Hygiene Compliance
One in twenty-five patients admitted to a hospital will suffer from a hospital acquired infection. If we can intelligently track healthcare staff, patients, and visitors, we can better understand the sources of such infections. We envision a smart hospital capable of increasing operational efficiency and improving patient care with less spending. In this paper, we propose a non-intrusive vision...
متن کاملThe march towards no-scale supergravity
The different steps that led us to the discovery of no-scale supergravity are discussed from a very personal point of view. No-scale supergravity has been heralded as the most promising effective theory that describes physics below the Planck scale. In its string-derived form it holds the potential for a Dynamical Determination Of Everything (DDOE).
متن کاملEvolutionary Synthesis of a Trajectory Integrator for an Analogue Brain-Computer Interface Mouse
Recently significant steps have been made towards effective EEGbased brain-computer interfaces for mouse control. A major obstacle in this line of research, however, is the integration of the noisy and contradictory information provided at each time step by the signal processing systems into a coherent and precise trajectory for the mouse pointer. In this paper we attack this difficult problem ...
