The command & control (c&c) protocols of botnets are moving away from plaintext IRC communicationt towards encrypted and obfuscated protocols. In general, these protocols are proprietary. Therefore, standard network monitoring tools are not able to extract the commands from the collected traffic. However, if we want to monitor these new botnets, we need to know how their protocol decryption wor...

This paper presents the results of experimental measurements and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of the indoor environment of an open-plan office. The measurements were conducted in the Indoor Environment Research Facility (IERF) at IRC/NRC, in which six mock-up were setup to simulate an interior open-plan office. Two scenarios were investigated: isothermal and non-isothermal. Th...

This article outlines the salient phases, goals, and results of alarm/will/sound, a multidisciplinary musical research project carried out in the context of the IRCAM IRC (Interface Recherche-Création) Musical Residency Research program. After the rationale for and motivations behind the project are presented, the following research and production milestones are described: 1) the elaboration an...

The 11 km fringe visibilities of IRC ]10011 (\ CIT3) and IRC ]10420 have been measured at baselines ranging from 2 to 14 m with a two-telescope interferometer. The visibility data provide onedimensional proÐles of these two stars and their immediate surroundings with higher resolution in this spectral range than is presently possible with a single-aperture telescope. Spherically symmetric radia...

In this paper we discuss the need for new technologies to enable the full benefits of ubiquitous computing to be realised in domestic environments. We argue that a key aspect of such new technology is that of embedding intelligence into devices. We do this by explaining the enhanced functionality that embedded-intelligence can provide to everyday products. In particular we describe how intellig...

We report the detection of the linear radical HC 4

The yellow hypergiants are found in a stage between the massive Red Supergiants and the Wolf-Rayet stars. This review addresses current issues concerning the evolution of massive stars, concentrating on the transitional postRed Supergiant phase. Few yellow hypergiants are known and even fewer show direct evidence for having evolved off the Red Supergiant branch. Indeed, only two such rare objec...

Jet observables, event shapes and jet rates, revealed themselves as one of the richest laboratories to explore QCD. Being infrared and collinear safe (IRC), they can be predicted with perturbative (PT) techniques, but their high sensitivity to low energy emissions allows us to investigate the fairly unknown nonperturbative regime. Most discriminatory studies make use of distributions. In integr...

The spectrophotometric determination method of scandium with eriochrome cyanine R (ECR) and the composition ratio of the complex were investigated in the presence of surfactants. A volume of 5 mL of 1.0×10−3 M ECR and 10 mL of 2.0×10−4 M CTMAB are necessary for the determination of 1.0×10−7 ~ 3.0×10−6 M Sc(III) at pH 6.5. The apparent molar absorption coefficient of the Sc(III)-ECR-CTMAB, terna...

In this paper, the degrees of freedom (DoF) of the two-user single input single output (SISO) X-channel are investigated. Three cases are considered for the availability of channel state information at the transmitters (CSIT); perfect, delayed, and no-CSIT. A new achievable scheme is proposed to elucidate the potency of interference creation-resurrection (IRC) when the available CSIT alternates...
