Nowadays, plants have been considered as powerful agents for treatment of disorders regarding to their traditional use. In Iranian Traditional Medicine (ITM), plants have a special role in the treatment of various diseases. Burns with their devastating outcomes have been discussed in ITM as well. In the present study, a polyherbal ointment (PHO), retrieved from ITM, was formulated for burn heal...

Digital fingerprinting is the technique used for traitor tracing in multimedia content distribution. It embeds unique customer information (e.g., customer ID) into multimedia content and generates different copies for different customers. The unique customer information can be extracted from the illegal copy and used to tell the traitor who re-distributes his copy to other unauthorized customer...

The presence of enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) sequences was demonstrated for the first time in the genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis; these sequences have been found in transcribed regions of the chromosomes of gram-negative bacteria. In this study genetic diversity among clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis was determined by PCR with ERIC primers (ERIC-PCR). The stu...

Motivated by the proliferation of wireless-enabled devices and the suspect nature of device driver code, we develop a passive fingerprinting technique that identifies the wireless device driver running on an IEEE 802.11 compliant device. This technique is valuable to an attacker wishing to conduct reconnaissance against a potential target so that he may launch a driver-specific exploit. In part...

Given the importance of information processing capabilities in improving business performance, organisations are seeking solutions for leveraging the use of big data and analytics. An emerging application is to inform organisations of potential fraudulent behaviour, which results in reducing online fraud and its associated costs. This paper introduces a case study in which social fingerprinting...
