apertium-cy (http://www.cymraeg.org.uk) is a rule-based “gisting” machine translation system forWelsh to English, with both engine and data released under the GPL.We summarise the development of apertium-cy, evaluate its output, and discuss the advantages of a collaborative development model combined with rule-based MT for marginalised languages. 1. e Apertium platform apertium-cy is a “gistin...

The insider threat problem is a significant and ever present issue faced by any organisation. While security mechanisms can be put in place to reduce the chances of external agents gaining access to a system, either to steal assets or alter records, the issue is more complex in tackling insider threat. If an employee already has legitimate access rights to a system, it is much more difficult to...

Security tools guide so‰ware developers to identify potential vulnerabilities in their codes. However, the use of security tools is not common among developers. Œe goal of this research is to develop a framework for modeling the adoption of security practices in so‰ware development, and explore various sanctioning mechanisms in promoting greater adoption of these practices among developers. We ...

Android applications are frequently plagiarized or maliciously repackaged, and so‰ware obfuscation is a popular protection against these practices. In this study, we present the €rst comprehensive analysis of the use and challenges of so‰ware obfuscation in Android applications. We surveyed 308 Google Play developers about their experiences with obfuscation, €nding that the free ProGuard so‰war...

Fourteen patients with apidarmodysplasia vermucifommis were studied to correlate the type of human papilbomavimus (HPV) found in benign lesions to their clinical aspects and to the course of the disease; nine patients ware familial cases, and six had carcinomas. The type of the virus was determined by the RNA-DNA filter hybridization technique, using complementary ANA's transcribed from the DNA...

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter Pdr12p effluxes weak acids such as sorbate and benzoate, thus mediating stress adaptation. In this study, we identify a novel transcription factor, War1p, as the regulator of this stress adaptation through transcriptional induction of PDR12. Cells lacking War1p are weak acid hypersensitive, since they fail to induce Pdr12p. The...
