A total of 719 wild rats were captured from four localities representing the west (Kuala Lumpur), east (Kuantan), north (Georgetown) and south (Malacca) to determine the diversity of blood protozoan from the urban wild rat population in peninsular Malaysia. Five rat species were recovered with Rattus rattus diardii being the most dominant species, followed by Rattus norvegicus, Rattus exulans, ...

Context-sensitive inclusion-based alias analysis is very precise but also computationally expensive. Whaley and Lam [5] recently proposed an approach based on Binary Decision Diagrams that scales to realistic Java programs. This report summarizes the approach, describes how the tool bddbddb that implements the analysis is used, and discusses how it can be employed to develop derived analyses ba...

The well-known traceroute probing method discovers links between interfaces on Internet routers. IP alias resolution, the process of identifying IP addresses belonging to the same router, is a critical step in producing Internet topology maps. We compare known alias resolution techniques, and suggest a practical combination of techniques that can produce the most accurate and complete IP-to-rou...

This paper argues that pointer-induced aliasing can be avoided in many cases by means of a concept of unique pointer. The use of such pointers is expected to fortify the concept of encapsulation, to make systems easier to reason about, to provide better control over the interaction between threads, and to make storage management safer and more ef-cient. We show that unique pointers can be imple...

Alias-i ThreatTrackers are an advanced information access application designed around the needs of analysts working through a large daily data feed. ThreatTrackers help analysts decompose an information gathering topic like the unfolding political situation in Iraq into specifications including people, places, organizations and relationships. These specifications are then used to collect and br...

Alias’ s product portfolio includes SPOOLGEN, for the production and management of fabrication spo...

-Mambo, et al. [3] discussed the delegation of signature power to a proxy signer. Lee, et al. [5] constructed a strong non-designated proxy signature scheme in which the proxy signer had strong nonrepudiation. In this paper, we present an enhancement to their scheme such that the identity of the proxy signer is hidden behind an alias. The identity can be revealed only by the alias authority. We...
