UNLABELLED Aims/Introduction:  A method of estimating HbA1c attained after initiation of basal supported oral therapy (BOT) has not been reported previously. The aim of the present study was to determine which characteristics of patients could influence the effectiveness of BOT introduction, and to obtain an equation to estimate HbA1c after BOT initiation. MATERIALS AND METHODS   Sixty consec...

Recent research has shown a substantial active presence of bots in online social networks (OSNs). In this paper we utilise our past work on studying bots (Stweeler) to comparatively analyse the usage and impact of bots and humans on Twitter, one of the largest OSNs in the world. We collect a large-scale Twitter dataset and define various metrics based on tweet metadata. We divide and filter the...

Correlated or synchronized bots commonly exist in social media sites such as Twitter. Bots work towards gaining human followers, participating in campaigns, and engaging in unethical activities such as spamming and false click generation. In this paper, we perform temporal pattern mining on bot activities in Twitter. We discover motifs (repeating behavior), discords (anomalous behavior), joins,...

Data deletion increases challenges in cybercrime investigation. To address the problem, proactive forensics for evidentiary collection is acknowledged to help investigators acquire potentially needed digital evidence. This study proposes a bot machine record data from Discord server advance, hashing and saving it proper storage further forensic analysis. The recording process can be managed col...

BACKGROUND Approximately one-third of all borderline ovarian tumours (BOT) are diagnosed in patients with child-bearing potential. Detailed information regarding their specific characteristics and prognostic factors is limited. METHODS Clinical parameters of BOT patients treated between 1998 and 2008 in 24 German centres were retrospectively investigated. Central pathology review and prospect...

Swarm intelligence is the discipline that deals with natural and artificial systems composed of many individuals that coordinate using decentralized control and self-organization. The discipline focuses on the collective behaviors that result from the local interactions of the individuals with each other and with their environment. Examples of systems studied by swarm intelligence are colonies ...

A distinguishing characteristic of bots is their ability to establish a command and control (C&C) channel. The typical approach to build detection models for C&C traffic and to identify C&C endpoints (IP addresses and domains of C&C servers) is to execute a bot in a controlled environment and monitor its outgoing network connections. Using the bot traffic, one can then craft signatures that mat...
