Return-oriented programming (ROP), based on return-to-libc and borrowed-code-chunks techniques, is one of the buzzing advanced exploitation techniques these days to bypass NX. There are several practical works using ROP techniques for exploitations on Windows, iPhone OS to bypass DEP and code signing. On most of modern Linux distributions, ASCIIArmor address mapping (which maps libc addresses s...

The aim of this study was to analyze trunk muscle activity during bridge style stabilization exercises, when combined with single and double leg support strategies. Twenty-nine healthy volunteers performed bridge exercises in 3 different positions (back, front and side bridges), with and without an elevated leg, and a quadruped exercise with contralateral arm and leg raise ("bird-dog"). Surface...

Turning is an activity of daily living that involves both the acceleration of the body center-of-mass (COM) towards the center of curvature and rotation of the pelvis towards the new heading. The purpose of this study was to understand which muscles contribute to turning using experimentation, musculoskeletal modeling and simulation. Ten healthy adults consented to walk around a 1-m radius circ...

We read with interest the papers by Schäfer and colleagues1 on the classification of patients with low back and leg pain and the associated study by Walsh & Hall2 on psychological differences between subgroups within this classification scheme. We agree that the time has come for clinicians to seriously consider that leg pain associated with low back pain (LBP) is not a homogenous subgroup unto...

Abstract Traumatic injuries in high-functioning athletes can have devastating consequences and require cross-disciplinary management for both initial presentation subsequent management. We would like to present the case of a 17-year-old female, national level gymnast who presented with traumatic lower limb injury. During run-up trampoline, her right knee gave way immediate pain, deformity, inab...

There is an ongoing search on how to enhance the sprint performance of athletes. One should likely start investigating beyond traditional sport-training techniques about enhancing sprinting ability athlete. Female rugby players were randomly assigned one two groups; experimental group (n = 5) and a control 5). Data collected during pre-season end-season hamstring flexibility performance. Unpair...

Traditional execution environments deploy Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) to defend against memory corruption attacks. However, Intel Software Guard Extension (SGX), a new trusted execution environment designed to serve security-critical applications on the cloud, lacks such an effective, well-studied feature. In fact, we find that applying ASLR to SGX programs raises non-trivial issu...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the interexaminer reliability of a leg length analysis protocol between an experienced chiropractor and an inexperienced chiropractic student who has undergone an intensive training program. METHODS Fifty participants, aged from 18 to 55 years, were recruited from the New Zealand College of Chiropractic teaching clinic. An experienced chirop...

OBJECTIVE Detail the progress of an adolescent soccer player with right-sided chronic medial foot pain due to striking an opponent's leg while kicking the ball. The patient underwent diagnostic ultrasound and a conservative treatment plan. CLINICAL FEATURES The most important features were hindfoot varus, forefoot abduction, flatfoot deformity, and inability to single leg heel raise due to pa...

A Bayesian threshold animal model was applied to evaluate the prevalence over 2 farrowings and genetic background of overall leg conformation score and the presence or absence of 6 specific leg defects (abnormal hoof growth, splay footed, plantigradism, straight pasterns, sickle-hocked legs, and the presence of swelling or injuries) in purebred Landrace and Large White sows. Data sets contained...
