Five studies investigate identity denial, the situation in which an individual is not recognized as a member of an important in-group. Asian Americans are seen as less American than other Americans (Study 1) and realize this is the case, although they do not report being any less American than White Americans (Studies 2A and 2B). Identity denial is a common occurrence in Asian Americans' daily ...

In this paper, we propose a simple but robust scheme to detect denial of service attacks (including distributed denial of service attacks) by monitoring the increase of new IP addresses. Unlike previous proposals for bandwidth attack detection schemes which are based on monitoring the traffic volume, our scheme is very effective for highly distributed denial of service attacks. Our scheme explo...

Bentonite bleaching earth is utilized for purifying used motor oil through a recovery process in order to improve the quality and stability of the final product. Indeed, spent bleaching earth is generated due to adsorbing oil impurities. Polluted spent bleaching earth contains 20-40% (w/w) oil and is flammable. Its disposal without pre-treatment leads to loss of oil along with environmental imp...

Denial of service attacks are not new. However, the recent increase of their power and their use by organized criminal organizations make necessary to consider them as one of the major issues IT infrastructures will have to face in the next few years. Trying to defeat those attacks without understanding their technical aspects is illusory. As such, this document intends to provide as much detai...

Integrity constraints (ICs) provide a valuable tool for enforcing correct application semantics. However, designing ICs requires experts and time. Proposals for automatic discovery have been made for some formalisms, such as functional dependencies and their extension conditional functional dependencies. Unfortunately, these dependencies cannot express many common business rules. For example, a...

Abstract Most authoritarian countries censor the press. As a response, many opposition and independent news outlets have found refuge on Internet. Despite global character of Internet, are vulnerable to censorship in cyberspace. This study investigates Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks websites Venezuela details how reporting is related DoS an attempt content. For this empirical test, I monitored...

This paper presents attacks targeting the FPGAs of AWS F1 instances at electrical level through power-hammering, where excessive dynamic power is used to crash FPGA instances. We demonstrate different power-hammering that pass all security fences implemented on instances, including vendor design rule checks. In addition, we fingerprint observe responsiveness which indicates a successful denial-...

In this paper we explore the use of spectral analysis techniques applied to artifacts of denial of service attacks called backscatter packets. First, we detail how to partition backscatter data collected by a network sensor into logical attacks. Since backscatter packets are the result of spoofed packets sent to the target by the attacker, determining attack boundaries is an important first ste...

Patients with hemispatial neglect exhibit a myriad of profound deficits. A hallmark of this syndrome is the patients' absence of awareness of items located in their contralesional space. Many studies, however, have demonstrated that neglect patients exhibit some level of processing of these neglected items. It has been suggested that unconscious processing of neglected information may manifest ...
