Many applications exhibit iterative and phase-based behavior. We present an approach to detect and analyze iteration phases in applications by recording the execution control flow graph of the application and analyzing it for loops that represent iterations. Phases are then manually marked and performance profiles are captured in alignment with the iterations. By analyzing how profiles change b...

Application or business logic, used in the development of services, has to do with the operations that define the application functionalities and not with the platform ones. Often security problems can be found at this level, because circumventing or misusing the required operations can lead to unexpected behaviour or to attacks, called application logic attacks. We investigate this issue, by u...

objective: the current study was undertaken to examine the bactericide effects of atmospheric plasma produced by flat and comb electrodes on e.coli. materials and methods: dc (20 w) and ac (500 w) power supplies, flat and comb electrodes, insulator and oxygen gas were used to produce atmospheric plasma. bactericide effects of the atmospheric plasma were studied on e.coli on sterilized plate pla...

Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) means that the execution of a program dynamically follows only certain paths, in accordance with a static policy. CFI can prevent attacks that, by exploiting buffer overflows and other vulnerabilities, attempt to control program behavior. This paper develops the basic theory that underlies two practical techniques for CFI enforcement, with precise formulations of hy...

[1] Surface structures on ’a’ā and blocky lavas reflect the internal flow dynamics during emplacement and also influence the dynamics of developing flows. To investigate the effects of brittle, clinkery ’a’ā flow crusts on flow dynamics and surface structures, we conducted sand and silicone laboratory experiments that simulated the advance of lava into a preexisting channelized flow with a surf...

This paper presents a new representation of control flow graphs which is readable and concise, keeping all pertinent information as it appears in the source code. The iconic control graph provides an exact transformation of the source code. It is a basis for control flow visualization, unstructuredness identification, path crossing and path computation. The representation is programming-languag...
