Internet catastrophes could be caused by large-scale worm outbreaks that lead to DDoS flooding attacks. Internet worms can be exploited to damage infected hosts and launch flooding attacks against high-profile Internet services. We suggest deploying distributed WormShield monitors to automatically detect and disseminate worm signatures. WormShield monitors analyze the global prevalence and addr...

INTRODUCTION Dirofilariasis is a rare parasitic infestation in humans. CASE A 33-year-old female from the coastal area presented with a swelling over the right lacrimal sac area. It was clinically diagnosed as a lacrimal abscess and was incised under local anaesthesia. A live coiled worm was found and removed along with the cyst. OBSERVATIONS The worm looked like a thin white thread measuri...

This paper reports the results of our experimentation with modeling worm behavior on a large scale, fully adaptable network simulator. Our experiments focused on areas of worm scanning methods, IP address structure, and wireless links that, to the best of our knowledge, have been mostly neglected or abstracted away in prior worm simulations. Namely, our intent was to first study by direct obser...

Linguatula serrata, the so-called tongue worm, is a worm-like, bloodsucking parasite belonging to the Pentastomida group. Infections with L. serrata tongue worms are rare in Europe. We describe a case of ocular linguatulosis in central Europe and provide molecular data on L. serrata tongue worms.

In this paper an Energy Dissipation Rate Control (EDRC) method is introduced, which could provide stable walking or running gaits for legged robots. This method is realized by developing a semi-analytical pattern generation approach for a robot during each Single Support Phase (SSP). As yet, several control methods based on passive dynamic walking have been proposed by researchers to provide an...

One of the main problems of car-like robot is robust path following in the presence of sliding effect. To tackle this problem, a robust mix H2/H∞ static state feedback control method is selected. This method is the well-known linear robust controller which is robust against external disturbance as well as model uncertainty. In this paper, the path following problem is formulated as linear matri...

The intent of this work was to develop an optimized design for inchworm locomotion. Different works found in the literature imitate inchworm locomotion using different methods in order to grip the surface of the ground such as pads, magnets or wheels. On the other hand, this inchworm like-robot uses controlled friction by changing water between the end bodies. This water, moved by a miniature p...

A case of periocular dirofilariasis has been diagnosed in Iran. A 27-yr old female referred with a history of edema and redness in the left eye since 2 wk ago. On slit lamp examination, a moving thread-like worm was seen in the subconjunctival area. Two days later, a 126 mm long, live filaria worm was extracted from the lower lid subcutaneous tissue. The worm was diagnosed as, likelihood, Dirof...
