Efforts toward automated detection and identification of multistep cyber attack scenarios would benefit significantly from a methodology and language for modeling such scenarios. The Correlated Attack Modeling Language (CAML) uses a modular approach, where a module represents an inference step and modules can be linked together to detect multistep scenarios. CAML is accompanied by a library of ...

BACKGROUND Evidence for a role of dietary risk factors in the cause of breast cancer has been inconsistent. The evaluation of overall dietary patterns instead of foods in isolation may better reflect the nature of true dietary exposure in a population. OBJECTIVE We used 2 cohort studies to identify and confirm associations between dietary patterns and breast cancer risk. DESIGN Dietary patt...

four chinese pomegranate (punica granatum l.) cultivars were analyzed for their individual flavonols and flavones (in fruit peel extracts) using high performance liquid chromatography (hplc), with changes in flavonols and flavones as occurring during fruit development. the results revealed the presence of kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin, luteolin, and apigenin in all the four cultivars. in add...

A novel approach to visual leaf identification is proposed. A leaf is represented by a pair of local feature histograms, one computed from the leaf interior, the other from the border. The histogrammed local features are an improved version of a recently proposed rotation and scale invariant descriptor based on local binary patterns (LBPs). Describing the leaf with multi-scale histograms of rot...
