Static exposure experiments were conducted to assess the toxicity of dispersed Prudhoe Bay Crude Oil (PBCO) to embryos of the topsmelt (Atherinops affinis). Treatment with the dispersant COREXIT 9500 resulted in greater hydrocarbon concentrations in chemically enhanced water-accommodated fractions (CEWAFs) of oil, relative to the untreated water-accommodated fractions (WAFs). Topsmelt embryo de...

PURPOSE To investigate the role for the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in controlling lens cell proliferation and differentiation and the regulation of the ubiquitin conjugation machinery during the differentiation process. METHODS bFGF-induced lens cell proliferation and differentiation was monitored in rat lens epithelial explants by bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation and expression of cr...

OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to determine the role of p53 and p21 in the pathogenesis of prostatic adenocarcinoma and their association with tumour grade. METHOD Sixty-seven histologically confirmed prostatic adenocarcinoma cases collected from Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and General Hospital Kuala Lumpur were studied. The formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues were sta...

The Workshop on Physical Agents intends to be a forum for information and experience exchange in different areas regarding the concept of embodied agents, especially applied to the control and coordination of autonomous systems: robots, mobile robots, domotics, agents, industrial applications or complex systems. This special issue brings together a selection of revised and extended papers that ...

Modern overlay security mechanisms like Web Application Firewalls (WAF) suffer from inability to recognize custom high-level application logic and data objects, which results in low accuracy, high false positives rates, and overhelming manual effort for fine tuning. In this paper we propose an approach to web application modeling for security purposes that could help next-generation WAFs to ada...

From the perspective of entrepreneurs’ perception a business environment (EPBE), this study explores mechanism EPBE on enterprise innovation with regional stereotypes. Data from 358 entrepreneur questionnaires in China were tested by using structural equation model. The results showed that two dimensions EPBE—entrepreneurs’ government (EPGE) and factor (EPFE)—are significantly positively correl...


 This article is devoted to detection of advanced techniques malicious input parameter injections and web application firewall (WAF) bypass. The authors have proposed a hierarchical model for rules definition, which allows edit different fragments separately. has been implemented with the usage Backus-Naur form ANTLR4 (generator parsers lexers). solution tested using some popular scanners...
