This master thesis presents overview on advanced persistent threat (APT) definition and explanation of it. One of the most dangerous APT named: ”Snake” will be presented along with other similar APT’s. Various virtual environments like e.g. VirtualBox will be investigated in order to understand how APT malware behaves in these environments. The central focus of this master thesis lies on detect...

In this paper, we propose a strategy for the selection of the hidden layer size in feedforward neural network models. The procedure herein presented is based on comparison of different models in terms of their out of sample predictive ability, for a specified loss function. To overcome the problem of data snooping, we extend the scheme based on the use of the reality check with modifications ap...

The pyramidal tract (PT) is a major neural tract that controls voluntary movements in the human brain. The PT has several collateral pathways, including the aberrant pyramidal tract (APT), which passes through the medial lemniscus location at the midbrain and pons. Diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) allows visualization and estimation of the APT in three dimensions. In this mini-review, eight ...

Objective: Dynamic psychotherapies are effective in treating anxiety disorders. However, little is known about their effectiveness in treating Adult Separation Anxiety Disorder (ASAD). The present research aimed to examine the effectiveness of Brief Empathic Psychotherapy (BEP) and anxiety-regulating dynamic therapy or Affect Phobia Therapy (APT) in reducing depression and anxiety in a sample o...

Recently, specific attention has been paid to aptamers, short DNA or RNA, as a tool for cancer diagnosis and therapy. In the present study MCS nanogels were prepared by Myristate: chitosan at 1:9 ratio and were characterized by several techniques. A selected ssDNA aptamer(Apt) capable of detecting LNCaP cells was linked to Myristilated chitosan nanogels (Apt-MCS) by glutaraldehyde and loaded wi...

Introduction: The diagnostic work-up of allergic rhinitis (AR) is first and foremost based on the combination of clinical history data and results of skin prick tests (SPT). Other tests, including specific IgE measurement, nasal challenge, and, as a third option, component resolved diagnosis or basophil activation test, may be useful when the diagnosis is difficult because of polysensitization ...

treatment for all enteric cases is that one is apt to treat the disease only and forget the patient, lor in medical treatment the patient always requires careful study on account of " idiosyncrasy." Again, the body has a natural tendency towards recovery, and this must always be borne in: mind less in the effort to cut short the disease this power be impaired. Putting aside the question of trea...

Background Antiplatelet therapy (APT) is known to substantially reduce mortality and rate of ischaemic complications after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Rate of perioperative APT resistance varies widely and could be influenced by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The purpose of the study was perioperative assessment of platelet function with respect to administered APT and CPB, and deter...
