Analysis of communication data of mobile terminal based on protocol reversal by Mingyuan ZHANG, Xinyu QI, Yubo SONG, Rongrong GU, Aiqun HU, Zhenchao ZHU

“…The most problem in analysis of communication protocols and communication data for mobile terminals is that many mobile applications do not have the relevant public technical documents,and it is difficult to know the type of communication protocol it adopts.The instruction execution sequence analysis technique takes the instruction sequence executed by the program as a research object,and inversely infers the message format and the state machine to obtain the communication protocol.However,due to the incomplete collection of sequence information,the state machine infers that the inference is incomplete and cannot be effective.A novel protocol reverse scheme based on state machine comparison is proposed,which can be used for the forensics of mobile terminal communication data.The scheme first uses PIN for dynamical identification of the taint,and track it and analyzes the trajectory to obtain the message format.Secondly,the message clustering is performed on the basis of the message format to infer the protocol state machine.Finally,the LCS algorithm is used to compare the state machines to get a complete protocol state machine.This article tests and evaluates the scheme based on two types of application design experiments on the Android platform.The experimental results show that the results are both complete and real-time,and have practical value.…”

Simple, Rapid Mycobacterium ulcerans Disease Diagnosis from Clinical Samples by Fluorescence of Mycolactone on Thin Layer Chromatography. by Anita Wadagni, Michael Frimpong, Delphin Mavinga Phanzu, Anthony Ablordey, Emmanuel Kacou, Mirabelle Gbedevi, Estelle Marion, Yalan Xing, Vaddela Sudheer Babu, Richard Odame Phillips, Mark Wansbrough-Jones, Yoshito Kishi, Kingsley Asiedu

“…<h4>Introduction</h4>Mycobacterium ulcerans infection, known as Buruli ulcer, is a disease of the skin and subcutaneous tissues which is an important but neglected tropical disease with its major impact in rural parts of West and Central Africa where facilities for diagnosis and management are poorly developed. We evaluated fluorescent thin layer chromatography (f-TLC) for detection of mycolactone in the laboratory using samples from patients with Buruli ulcer and patients with similar lesions that gave a negative result on PCR for the IS2404 repeat sequence of M. ulcerans.…”

Pumice cone eruptions at Aluto volcano, Ethiopia by Ben Clarke, Eliza S. Calder, Karen Fontijn, Firawalin Desalegn, Pablo Tierz, Gezahegn Yirgu

“…Like basaltic pyroclastic cones, pumice cones can also undergo collapse by lava flow emplacement. Alongside recent evaluation of distal tephras, we suggest that these eruptions, at least at Aluto, vary in intensity and magnitude from violent-Strombolian to sub-Plinian, and each follow a remarkably similar sequence of eruptive processes.…”
