Recent analyses of the long-term societal benefits from early intervention (prenatal care, home visitation, and high quality preschool) for at-risk children commonly include significant savings to society in the form of reduced juvenile delinquency and adult criminal behavior. However, a nontrivial proportion of the reported benefits of several early intervention programs are based on forecasts...

code reuse attacks such as return oriented programming and jump oriented programming become the most popular exploitation methods among attackers. a large number of practical and non-practical defenses have been proposed that differ in their overhead, the source code requirement, detection rate and implementation dependencies. however, a usual aspect among them is to consider the common behavio...

Recent studies have demonstrated that measured wide-area network traffic such as Internet traffic exhibits locally complex irregularities, consistent with multifractal behavior. It has also been shown that the observed multifractal structure becomes most apparent when analyzing measured network traffic at a particular layer in the well-defined protocol hierarchy that characterizes modern data n...

Aggressive benign odontogenic neoplasms have substantial potential to grow to an enormous size with resulting bone deformities, and they often invade adjacent tissues and spread beyond their normal clinical and radiographic margins; as such, they have a high rate of recurrence. Historically, management (conservative versus aggressive) on the basis of clinical, radiographic and/or histopathologi...

Conservative logic is a comprehensive model of computation which explicitly reflects a number of fundamental principles of physics, such as the reversibility of the dynamical laws and the conservation of certain additive quantities (among which energy plays a distinguished role). Because it more closely mirrors physics than traditional models of computation, conservative logic is in a better po...

This study uses the data of A-share listed family firms during period 2010-18 and employs multiple regression analysis to verify role control working capital strategy for corporate risk-taking in China. also explores regulatory relationship between Chinese firms. Results show that greater encourages behavior whereas conservative diminishes risk-taking. The results suggest a on effects firms’ be...

Some firms adopt dual (IS-conservative-like and IS innovator-like) strategies. The behavior of firms that adopt a dual IS strategy is associated with the following characteristics: they (1) adhere to dual goals with a simultaneous emphasis on efficiency improvements and cautious exploration of new opportunities, (2) adopt a relatively formal decision-making structure, and (3) are inherently ris...

This paper proposes a novel multifractal traffic model, and an associated parameter fitting procedure, based on stochastic L-Systems, which were introduced by biologist A. Lindenmayer as a method to model plant growth. We provide a detailed comparison with a related multifractal model based on conservative cascades. Our results, that include applying the fitting procedure to real observed data ...

the pile-raft foundation is a combination of a raft foundation with piles. pile-raft foundation has been widely designed, assuming all structure loads to be transferred to piles without considering contribution of the load taken by contact surface between raft and soil. methods of analysis currently used in practice are based upon relatively conservative assumptions of soil behavior or on the l...
