Damage to skeletal muscle during or following extensive or unaccustomed exercise is a well-recognized phenomenon. It is known to occur in healthy normal subjects and manifests itself as both morphological and biochemical changes indicative of damage. The manner in which the muscle is used appears to be particularly important in determining the extent of damage which may occur for a given work-l...

The steadily increasing number of malware variants is becoming a significant problem, clogging the input queues of automated analysis tools and polluting malware repositories. The generation of malware variants is made easy by automatic packers and polymorphic engines, which can produce many distinct versions of a single executable using compression and encryption. Malware analysis tools and re...

An increasing percentage of malware programs distributed in the wild are packed by packers, which are programs that transform an input binary’s appearance without affecting its execution semantics, to create new malware variants that can evade signature-based malware detection tools. This paper reports the results of a comprehensive study of the extent of the packer problem based on data collec...
