There has been a huge amount of organizational investment to cope with computer security incidents, but the incidents continue and are expected to increase. Computer security incidents in organizations are primarily dealt with by computer security incident response teams (CSIRT). How the team successfully develops and operates is critical for effective and efficient responses to the incidents. ...

It is still not clear, how large scale sensoring networks can be turned into useful ressources of incident response teams. Recent research has shown that the work of incident response teams is clearly exposed to denial of service attacks if the handling of low number / high priority incidents is not separated from the work related to high number / low priority incidents [WK05]. This would imply...

introduction: variable resolution x-ray (vrx) ct is a new type of ct that can image objects at various spatial resolutions. in a vrx ct scanner, the spatial resolution increases at the cost of reduction in the field of view (fov). an important factor that limits the spatial resolution of the vrx ct is the effect of focal spot size. also, the optimum magnification is different at each incident a...

An approximation technique is considered for computing transmission and reflection coefficients for plane waves propagating through stratified slabs. The propagation of elastic pulse through a planar slab is derived from first principles using straightforward time-dependent method. The paper ends with calculations of enhancement factor for the elastic plane wave and it is shown that it depends ...
