In this paper we propose an architecture for using crossorganization information sharing to identify members of a group of hosts enslaved for malicious purposes on the Internet. We root our system in so-called “detectives”— savvy network monitors like sophisticated intrusion detection systems or honeyfarms that have a deep understanding of malicious behavior. We augment information from these d...

This review of women's participation in the legal system as expert witnesses examines the empirical literature on the perceived credibility and persuasiveness of women compared with men experts. The effects of expert gender are complex and sometimes depend on the circumstances of the case.

In this work, we show a correspondence between linear support vector machines (SVMs) and entanglement witnesses, use to generate witnesses for bipartite tripartite qubit (and qudit) target entangled states. An SVM allows the construction of hyperplane that clearly delineates separable states state; is weighted sum observables (``features'') whose coefficients are optimized during training SVM. ...
