Software vulnerabilities that enable the injection and execution of malicious code in pervasive Internet-connected computing devices pose serious threats to cyber security. In a common type of attack, a hostile party induces a software buffer overflow in a susceptible computing device in order to corrupt a procedure return address and transfer control to malicious code. These buffer overflow at...

......In 2005, the computer hardware industry took a historic change of direction: The major microprocessor companies all announced that their future products would be single-chip multiprocessors, and that future performance improvements would rely on software-specified parallelism rather than additional software-transparent parallelism extracted automatically by the microarchitecture. Several ...

background and objective: deprenyl is a drug for the treatment of parkinson’s disease, where the dopaminergic neurons are the target of this drug. several reports also documented that deprenyl has an effect on the sensory and motor neurons. there are some reports about the mode of action of deprenyl on motoneurons as a neuroprotective agent, while others believe that deprenyl acts as a neurores...

As processors continue to deliver higher levels of performance and as memory latency tolerance techniques become widespread to address the increasing cost of accessing memory, memory bandwidth will emerge as a major performance bottleneck. Rather than rely solely on wider and faster memories to address memory bandwidth shortages, an alternative is to use existing memory bandwidth more efficient...

introduction: there is no comprehensive study on the effect of folate on food intake therefore the present study was carried out to determine the effect of folate supplementation on serum concentrations of leptin and grehlin and food intake in male wistar rats. methods: the study was carried out for 42 days during which the animals were weighed weekly their food and water intakes were measured ...
