Memory error exploitations have been around for over 25 years and still rank among the top 3 most dangerous software errors. Why haven’t we been able to stop them? Given the host of security measures on modern machines, are we less vulnerable than before, and can we expect to eradicate memory error problems in the near future? In this paper, we present a quarter century worth of memory errors: ...

background studies show that a large proportion of healthcare offered may be inappropriate or unnecessary. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is a new and expensive diagnostic technology which has been increasingly used all over the world. moreover, this trend has been more rapidly increasing in iran. low back pain is a common disorder all over the world and mri technique is one of the several wa...

Intratracheal instillation of the monocyte chemoattractant JE/monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 in mice was recently shown to cause increased alveolar monocyte accumulation in the absence of lung inflammation, whereas combined JE/MCP-1/lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge provoked acute lung inflammation with early alveolar neutrophil and delayed alveolar monocyte influx. We evaluated the ...

RAM (regulation of Ace2p transcription factor and polarized morphogenesis) is a conserved signaling network that regulates polarized morphogenesis in yeast, worms, flies, and humans. To investigate the role of the RAM network in cell polarity and hyphal morphogenesis of Candida albicans, each of the C. albicans RAM genes (CaCBK1, CaMOB2, CaKIC1, CaPAG1, CaHYM1, and CaSOG2) was deleted. All C. a...

Understanding how the brain captures transient experience and converts it into long lasting changes in neural circuits requires the identification and investigation of the specific ensembles of neurons that are responsible for the encoding of each experience. We have developed a Robust Activity Marking (RAM) system that allows for the identification and interrogation of ensembles of neurons. Th...

Active control and cancellation of residual amplitude modulation (RAM) in phase modulation of an optical carrier is one of the key technologies for achieving the ultimate stability of a laser locked to an ultrastable optical cavity. Furthermore, such techniques are versatile tools in various frequency modulation-based spectroscopy applications. In this Letter we report a simple and robust appro...

It is known that in some cases a Random Access Machine (RAM) benefits from having an additional input that is an arbitrary number, satisfying only the criterion of being sufficiently large. This is known as the ARAM model. We introduce a new type of RAM, which we refer to as the Arbitrary Sequence RAM (ASRAM), that generalises the ARAM by allowing the generation of additional arbitrary large nu...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of diverse biological processes. Here we report on functional identification and characterization of a novel long intergenic non-coding RNA with MyoD-regulated and skeletal muscle-restricted expression that promotes the activation of the myogenic program, and is therefore termed Linc-RAM (Linc-RNA Activator of Myogenesis). Linc-RAM is tran...

Vector Quantization (VQ) is a powerful techreported in the literature. One class of architectures is nique for low-bit rate image and video compression. However, VQ is a computational intensive technique. In this paper, a Computational RAM (C*RAM) implementation of VQ for real-time image compression is presented. The C*RAM architecture enables parallel search in the direction of codewords. The ...
