Our implementation is aimed at estimating the possibility of employing TCG-based trusted computing mechanisms, such as verifying the code-integrity of executables and libraries at load-time and remote attestation, in mobile devices. Considering the restrained resource in mobile device, the experimentation shows promising results, thereby enabling these mechanisms to be used as a basic building ...

Lizards in the Neotropical genus Iguana are heavily traded for international pet trade, with unusual colour morphs and rare species commanding high prices. Recent research aimed to understand taxonomy phenotypic variation of Lesser Antilles, those populations now severely threatened by this trade. Although entire has been on Convention International Trade Endangered Species Wild Fauna Flora (CI...

Ticks infesting amphibians and reptiles in the State of Pernambuco are reviewed, based on the current literature and new collections recently carried out by the authors. To date, three tick species have been found on amphibians and reptiles in Pernambuco. Amblyomma fuscum appears to be exclusively associated with Boa constrictor, its type host. Amblyomma rotundatum has a relatively low host-spe...

tatus) is well known for its unusual diet and foraging mode. Feeding on subtidal/intertidal algae, it incurs a high load of salts (primarily sodium chloride, with some potassium) from its food (Dunson, 1969; Shoemaker and Nagy, 1984). To cope with this high-salt diet, the marine iguana uses large cranial salt glands that excrete most of the sodium, potassium, and chloride ingested; forceful exp...
