Kernel rootkits pose a significant threat to computer systems as they run at the highest privilege level and have unrestricted access to the resources of their victims. Many current efforts in kernel rootkit defense focus on the detection of kernel rootkits – after a rootkit attack has taken place, while the smaller number of efforts in kernel rootkit prevention exhibit limitations in their cap...

Nickle is a vaguely C-like programming language for numerical applications, useful both as a desk calculator and as a prototyping and implementation language for numerical and semi-numerical algorithms. Nickle abstracts a number of useful features from a wide variety of other programming languages, particularly functional languages. Nickle’s design principles and implementation pragmatics mesh ...

The 70Ni nucleus has been produced at the LISOL facility and its b decay to 70Cu has been observed. In parallel, the 70Cu nucleus has been produced at the ISOLDE facility. A new third b-decaying isomeric state in 70Cu has been identified, partly with the aid of the in-source laser spectroscopy method. Its measured half-life is T1/2=33s2d s. In addition, two isomeric transitions in 70Cu have bee...

A key is provided to five Old World species that comprise the genus Ceratothripoides Bagnall, and the species C. revelatus (Priesner) is recalled from synonymy with C. brunneus Bagnall. Five New World species previously placed in this genus are here allocated to Retanathrips Mound & Nickle gen.n., with Physothrips funestus Hood as type species.

This paper describes and illustrates two new species of mole crickets of the genus Scapteriscus from the forest of the Colombian Amazon and Orinoquia regions, based on linear morphometry, level of coverage of tympanum, ocelli form, intraocellar distances, intraocular distances and interdactylar distances as proposed in Nickle in 2003. The interspecific relations of the new species are discussed.

Monochamus galloprovincialis (Olivier) is the vector of the pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Buhrer) Nickle, in Europe and Asia. Reproduction is probably the most important event in the life history of insects and may be affected by a number of factors, such as seasonal changes in larval or adult nutrition. In this study the effect of season on the reproductive potenti...

Catfish of Anzali wetland has been focused economically and commercially. It also meets the religious Minorities needs to fish meat. So, investigation of its health in the wetland is important. This study aimed to investigate the concentration of heavy metals such as cadmium, Nickle, Zinc and lead in muscle tissues of Catfish in three stations (west, central and east) of Anzali wetland in 2012....

Endodontics is currently in the midst of its own revolution. After this discipline is recognized as a specialty, the technological advances were made routinely. The advent of Nickle titanium files, rotary instrumentation, radiovisiography, endoscope and clinical microscope have changed the way in which the endodontics is practiced. This progress has increased both productivity and quality of ca...

The green synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO-NP) was investigated using Ni(NO3)2 as a precursor, olive tree leaves reducing agent, and D-sorbitol capping agent. structural, optical, morphology the synthesized NiO-NP have been characterized ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray crystallography (XRD) pattern, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) scanning electron microscope (SE...
