Nonlinear systems are often subject to random influences. Sometimes the noise enters the system through physical boundaries and this leads to stochastic dynamic boundary conditions. A dynamic, as opposed to static, boundary condition involves the time derivative as well as spatial derivatives for the system state variables on the boundary. Although stochastic static (Neumann or Dirichet type) b...

In this paper we describe bugs and ways to attack trusted computing systems based on a static root of trust such as Microsoft’s Bitlocker. We propose to use the dynamic root of trust feature of newer x86 processors as this shortens the trust chain, can minimize the Trusted Computing Base of applications and is less vulnerable to TPM and BIOS attacks. To support our claim we implemented the Open...

Partial evaluation distinguishes between different binding times when manipulating values in a program. A partial evaluator performs evaluation steps on values with a static binding time whereas it generates code for values with a dynamic binding time. Binding time descriptions have evolved from monolithic to fine grained, partially static data structures where different components may have dif...

introduction: sensory-motor control and in general gaining balance will be impaired after an ankle injury and in fatigue situations. the aim of this research was to study the effect of exercise-based fatigue on static and dynamic balance in mountaineering athletes who were successful in returning to a suitable level of physical activity after an ankle sprain injury. materials and methods: 25 ac...

Gold and chromium alloy fixed partial dentures of the maxillary posterior type have been studied with respect to surface strains using conditions of static loading. The two techniques used were the brittle lacquer' and electronic strain gauge2'3 methods. Brumfield4 presented work on the analysis of partial denture design using the classical beam theory. Bates5 measured dynamic strains on chromi...

Cooperative Bug Isolation (CBI) is a feedback-directed approach to improving software quality. Developers provide instrumented applications to the general public, and then use statistical methods to mine returned data for information about the root causes of failure. Thus, users and developers form a feedback loop of continuous software improvement. Given CBI’s focus on statistical methods and ...
