Warren He presented his work on new forms of clickjacking attacks; this was joint work with some of his fellow researchers at UC Berkeley. Their team frames clickjacking as fundamentally an attack on a user’s perception; all five of their new attacks work by manipulating or diverting a user’s attention from security UI events that would otherwise alert users of the clickjacking attack. He argue...

Abstract. We introduce a crank-like statistic for a different class of partitions. In [AP], Andrews and Paule initiated the study of broken k-diamond partitions. Their study of the respective generating functions led to an infinite family of modular forms, about which they were able to produce interesting arithmetic theorems and conjectures for the related partition functions. Here we establish...

This is a draft of a chapter for a book, Modification, in preparation for the Cambridge University Press series Key Topics in Semantics and Pragmatics. The full manuscript is also available as a single document on my website, as are some additional chapters. The book is something between a textbook for people who already have a basic background in semantics and a survey of work in the area. For...

This brief essay offers a set of remarks on the postmortem inventory Jew from city Marseille who died in 1397. The inventory, which lists all assets estate, had been compiled by decedent's daughters and was then presented to court order be registered. Like many inventories region, it proceeds room room, valuable glimpses Jewish material culture as well folk ontology governing classification thi...

this article presents the application of two algorithms: heuristic big bang-big crunch (hbb-bc) and a heuristic particle swarm ant colony optimization (hpsaco) to discrete optimization of reinforced concrete planar frames subject to combinations of gravity and lateral loads based on aci 318-08 code. the objective function is the total cost of the frame which includes the cost of concrete, formw...

Geometry for Game Programming and Graphics: For the next few lectures, we will discuss some of the basic elements of geometry. There are many areas of computer science that involve computation with geometric entities. This includes not only computer graphics, but also areas like computer-aided design, robotics, computer vision, and geographic information systems. While software systems like Uni...

Quantified expressions in natural language generally are taken to act like quantifiers in logic, which either range over entities that need to satisfy or not satisfy the predicate in order for the sentence to be true or otherwise are substitutional quantifiers. I will argue that there is a philosophically rather important class of quantified expressions in English that act quite differently, a ...

instrument breakage during treatment can lead to serious complications and carries the risk of treatment failure. when a file breaks in the canal, bypassing or removal can be difficult and the long-term prognosis of the tooth may be compromised. sometimes surgery may be indicated for removal of the broken segment. often some part of the root cannot be cleaned because of blockage by the broken f...

2-D mesh-based motion compensation preserves neighboring relations (through connectivity of the mesh) as well as allowing warping transformations between pairs of frames; thus, it eeectively eliminates blocking artifacts that are common in motion compensation by block matching. However , available 2-D mesh models, whether uniform or nonuniform, enforce connectivity everywhere within a frame, wh...
