The present study aims to investigate genre influence on the use and misuse of conjunctive adverbials (hereafter CAs) by compiling a learner corpus annotated with discoursal information on CAs. To do so, an online interface is constructed to collect and annotate data, and an annotating system for identifying the use and misuse of CAs is developed. The results show that genre difference has no i...

INTRODUCTION Alcohol misuse and related problems are common in Sri Lanka. The appropriateness of the primary care setting in dealing with alcohol misuse is well recognised, and general practitioners (GPs) constitute an important first contact setting. METHODS One hundred and fifty randomly selected GPs practising in the Colombo and Gampaha districts were given a questionnaire to assess how th...

Ritalin misuse can create powerful stimulant effects and serious health risks. The main aim of present study was compared that two cognitive construct (behavioral intention or behavioral willingness) for predicting Ritalin misuse. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 264 Iranian medical college students; participants selected in random sampling, and data were collected by using self-r...

With the ubiquitous deployment of Internet, workplace Internet misuse has raised increasing concern for organizations. Research has demonstrated employee reactions to monitoring systems and how they are implemented. However, little is known about the impact of punishment-related policies on employee intention to misuse Internet. To extend this line of research beyond prior studies, this paper p...

Leakage-resilience and misuse-resistance are two important properties for the deployment of authenticated encryption schemes. They aim at mitigating the impact of implementation flaws due to side-channel leakages and misused randomness. In this paper, we discuss their interactions and incompatibilities. For this purpose, we first show a generic composition mode of a MAC with an encryption schem...

In recent years, wireless sensor network becomes popular both in civil and military jobs. However, security is one of the significant challenges for sensor network because of their deployment in open and unprotected environment. As cryptographic mechanism is not enough to protect sensor network from external attacks, intrusion detection system (IDS) needs to be introduced. In this paper we prop...

BACKGROUND Violence towards others in the community has been identified as a significant problem for a subset of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. AIMS To investigate the extent to which post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other risk factors predict future violent behaviour in military veterans. METHOD A national, multiwave survey enrolling a random sample of all US veterans who served i...

high processing loads, need for complicated and frequent updating, and high false alarm are some of the challenges in designing anomaly detection and misuse detection systems. we propose a new network-based intrusion detection system (ids) that resolves such shortcomings. our scheme fuses anomaly detection and misuse detection systems, which has not been utilized so far in existing systems. in ...
