Tremor and its duration‐amplitude distribution at Popocatépetl volcano, Mexico by R. Arámbula‐Mendoza, C. Valdés‐González, N. Varley, T. A. Reyes‐Pimentel, B. Juárez‐García

“…Abstract The duration‐amplitude distribution was calculated for the tremor observed at Popocatépetl volcano during episodes of activity in 2000 and 2012–2014. An exponential function was used to obtain a good fit for the duration‐amplitude distribution, and the source of volcanic tremor is probably generated by the transportation of magmatic fluids and its coupling with the host rock within the volcanic conduit. …”

Hardcoded vulnerability detection approach for IoT device firmware by Chao MU, Xin WANG, Ming YANG, Heng ZHANG, Zhenya CHEN, Xiaoming WU

“…With the popularization of IoT devices, more and more valuable data is generated.Analyzing and mining big data based on IoT devices has become a hot topic in the academic and industrial circles in recent years.However, due to the lack of necessary detection and protection methods, many IoT devices have serious information security risks.In particular, device hard-coded information is closely related to system encryption and decryption, identity authentication and other functions, which can provide confidentiality protection for core data.Once this information is exploited by malicious attackers, serious consequences such as sensitive information leakage, backdoor attacks, and unauthorized logins will occur.In response to this problem, a multi-type character recognition and positioning scheme was designed and a hard-coded vulnerability detection method in executable files was proposed based on the study of the characteristics of hard-coded vulnerabilities in IoT devices.The proposed method extracted the firmware of IoT devices and filtered all executable files as the source to be analyzed.Then, a solution to identify and locate three types of hard-coded characters was provided.Further, the reachability of the function, where the hard-coded character was located, was analyzed according to the function call relationship.Meanwhile, the instruction heterogeneity was mitigated by an intermediate representation (IR) model.The character and parameter hard-coded values was obtained through a data flow analysis approach.A symbolic execution method was devised to determine the trigger conditions of the hard-coded vulnerabilities, and then the vulnerability detection result was output.On the one hand, the proposed method introduced the method of symbolic execution based on the use of the intermediate representation model, which eliminated the dependency of instruction architecture and reduces the false positive rate of vulnerabilities; On the other hand, this method can integrate characters, files, and cryptographic implementation to realize the different characteristics of three types of hard-coded characters, which increased the coverage of vulnerability detection and improves the versatility of the detection method.The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively detect three types of hard-coded vulnerabilities of characters, files and cryptographic implementation in various IoT devices, and has good detection accuracy, which can provide certain guidance for the deployment of subsequent security protection technologies.…”

Do TFEU provisions on free movement of goods apply to private parties: Expanded vertical or horizontal direct effect? by Savković Vladimir

“…Finally, based on the case law analysis, the conclusion is offered that in terms of the recent developments in the field of free movement of goods the CJEU has opted for further expansion of the concept of vertical direct effect in order to both avoid establishing the horizontal direct effect of the freedom of movement of goods and safeguard the functioning of internal market against certain impediments generated by private parties.…”

Advances in the study of the role of high-frequency mutant subunits of the SWI/SNF complex in tumors by Jiumei Zhao, Jing Zhu, Yu Tang, Kepu Zheng, Ziwei Li

“…As a catalytic subunit of the SWI/SNF complex, SMARCA4 has ATPase activity that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP to produce energy and power the chromatin remodeling complex, which is critical to the function of the SWI/SNF complex. The study data indicate that approximately 25% of cancers have one or more SWI/SNF subunit genetic abnormalities, and at least nine different SWI/SNF subunits have been identified as having repeated mutations multiple times in various cancers, suggesting that mutations affecting SWI/SNF subunits may introduce vulnerabilities to these cancers. …”

Public security patrol path planning recommendation method based on wolf-pack optimization algorithm using DAF and BRS by Dongxing Wang, Gaomin Zhang, Fangbo Wu, Zhiyang Huang, Yiping Chen

“…Firstly, an optimization objective function regarding the public security patrol path planning (S3P-Function) was abstracted from the actual situation; Moreover, this paper proposed an improved wolf-pack optimization algorithm named DAF-BRS-CWOA using Dynamic-Adjustment-Factor(DAF) and Balanced-Raid-Strategy (BRS), and DAF devoted to adjust the overall wolf-pack running strategy by dynamically adjusting the number of airdropped wolves during the stage of Summon-Raid while BRS with symmetric property was to improve both the algorithm’s global exploration as well as the local development capabilities by increasing the number of checking locations, that means not only checking the reverse position of the current wolf, but also the positions generated according to certain rules between the reverse position of the current wolf and the current optimal wolf during the stage of Summon-Raid; Finally, DAF-BRS-CWOA was adopted to optimize S3P-Function, forming a public security patrol path planning recommendation method based on DAF-BRS-CWOA (S3PRM-DAF-BRS-CWOA). 30 independent numerical experiments were conducted on 20 public classical datasets by DAF-BRS-CWOA compared with GA, PSO, WDX-WPOA. …”

Deformation anisotropy and lamellar α re-orientation of TC17 alloy under the different slip modes of HCP structure by Cong Li, Jiao Luo

“…Therein, the variation of the rotation factor with tilt angle conforms to the quadratic function, reaching a maximum value around 45°. When the rotation factor is small, the ratio of (01–11) [1–210] slip system with small Burgers vector at the phase boundary is large, the rotation tendency is poor, and the intragranular dislocation slip replaces the grain rotation as the strain accommodation mechanism, the lamella is more prone to globularization. …”
