Embedded systems are the biggest potential market for Linux, much bigger (in terms of number as well as total value) than either the desktop or the server market. While Linux is making excellent inroads into (high-end) embedded systems, a number of challenges particular to embedded systems threaten to limit its impact. These include the requirements for hard real-time capability, extreme robust...

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 ...

Outcomes in gestational diabetes Cochrane protocols and reviews before and after development of 'standard outcomes' by WOMBAT (WOMen and Babies health and well-being: Action through Trials) were surveyed. An increase in 'common' outcomes (those prespecified by ≥50% of the protocols and reviews) over time was observed (2001-2009: 27 vs 2010-2014: 46). There were discrepancies in outcomes prespec...

This article considers a demographic model where a population varies in size either linearly or exponentially. The genealogical history of microsatellite data sampled from this population can be described using coalescent theory. A method is presented whereby the posterior probability distribution of the genealogical and demographic parameters can be estimated using Markov chain Monte Carlo sim...

Exhaustive enumeration of unique compounds with molecular weight (MW) <= 300 a.m.u., having only C, H and (in the future) O, N, S, P, and X is an on-going project between UNM and Daylight [1]. Based on Daylights GENSMI [1], all unique canonical non-isomeric SMILES are currently generated and stored in a database that can effectively become a resource for mining the entire virtual space of small...
