Also off-chip or on-chip devices taken over by an adversary can launch attacks to other components of a computer. Pure software ...

Infants exposed to a perinatal insult typically present with neonatal encephalopathy (NE). The contribution of pure hypoxia-ischaemia (HI) to NE has been debated; over the last decade, the sensitising effect of inflammation in the aetiology of NE a...
