Microprocessor memory is sensitive to cold boot attacks. In this kind of attacks, memory remanence is exploited to download its content after the microprocessor has been struck by a hard boot. If just in this moment, a crypto-algorithm was in execution, the memory data can be downloaded into a backup memory and specialized tools can be used to extract the secret keys. In the main memory data ca...

Unloading-induced muscle atrophy occurs in the aging population, bed-ridden patients, and astronauts. This study was designed to determine whether dynamic foot stimulation (DFS) applied to the plantar surface of the rat foot can serve as a countermeasure to soleus muscle atrophy normally observed in hindlimb unloaded (HU) rats. Forty-four mature (6 mo old), male Wistar rats were randomly assign...

Stress-release boot can effectively improve the structural integrity of SRM (solid rocket motor), but it will also influence loading fraction and interior ballistic performance, so purpose this paper is to propose a multiobjective optimization method for stress-release boot. The design variables are front rear depth boot, four were determined according analysis performance. To optimize with sta...

Land managers of natural areas are under pressure to balance demands for increased recreation access with protection of the natural resource. Unintended dispersal of seeds by visitors to natural areas has high potential for weedy plant invasions, with initial seed attachment an important step in the dispersal process. Although walking and mountain biking are popular nature-based recreation acti...

Increasing application requirements in embedded systems demand additional software initialization and configuration during startup, which adversely affects system boot time. The demand for fast startup is motivated by embedded systems, not only for consumer electronics such as digital TV and mobile phones but also for devices in automotive, medical and other applications. This paper presents no...

In most modern operating systems, init (as in “initialization”) is the program launched by the kernel at boot time. It runs as a daemon and typically has PID 1. Init is responsible for spawning all other processes and scavenging zombies. It is also responsible for reboot and shutdown operations. This document describes existing solutions that implement the init process and/or init scripts in Un...

The paper describes how to allow a customized automated installation of Linux. This is possible via CDRom, network or tape, using a special boot disk that describes the system that should be set up and either standard SuSE Linux CDs, customized install CDs, an appropriately configured installation server, or a tape backup of an existing machine. A control file on the boot disk and additional (o...
