Public cloud providers offer ready-to-use, easily scalable servers on demand for a variety of applications. Storing and processing private sensitive data in the brings multiple security issues indeed these concerns currently prevent many users from utilizing resources. Improving both trust is increasingly important providers. In this context, we first investigate classes threats encountered by ...

Escherichia coli cells expressing the tpm gene encoding the bacterial thiopurine methyltransferase (bTPMT) are shown to methylate selenite and (methyl)selenocysteine into dimethylselenide (DMSe) and dimethyldiselenide (DMDSe). E. coli cells expressing tpm from a gene library cosmid clone (harboring a Pseudomonas syringae insert of about 20 kb) also methylated selenate into DMSe and DMDSe. bTPMT...

In vitro cell transformation assays detect transformed cells that have acquired the distinct characteristics of malignant cells and thus model one stage of in vivo carcinogenesis. These assays have been proposed as surrogate models for predicting the non-genotoxic carcinogenic potential of chemicals. The Bhas 42 cell transformation assay, a short-term assay that uses v-Ha-ras-transfected Balb/c...

A metric complex M is a connected, locally-finite simplicial complex linearly embedded in some Euclidean space R. Metric complexes M and M' are isometric if they have subdivisions L and L and if there is a simplicial isomorphism h:L -• L such that for every a e L, the linear map determined by h\a -• h(a) is an isometry (that is, it extends to an isometry of the affine spaces generated by these ...

Introdução: Embora a Síndrome Pré-Menstrual, também chamada de Tensão Pré-Menstrual (TPM) seja uma condição muito comum entre as mulheres, acometendo até 50% daquelas em idade fértil, sua etiologia bem como o seu tratamento ainda são alvo discussões principalmente mulheres. Objetivo: Avaliação do efeito com auriculoterapia frente aos sinais e sintomas clássicos da TPM estudantes curso Biomedici...

We study combinatorial multi-armed bandit with probabilistically triggered arms and semi-bandit feedback (CMAB-T). We resolve a serious issue in the prior CMAB-T studies where the regret bounds contain a possibly exponentially large factor of 1/p∗, where p∗ is the minimum positive probability that an arm is triggered by any action. We address this issue by introducing a triggering probability m...

This paper proposes a hybrid soft tissue model that consists of a multilayer structure and many spheres for surgical simulation system based on meshless. To improve accuracy of the model, tension is added to the three-parameter viscoelastic structure that connects the two spheres. By using haptic device, the three-parameter viscoelastic model (TPM) produces accurate deformationand also has bett...

This paper aims to give a comprehensive design of the trusted hardware layer for a partitioned multicore processor. We start our design with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and propose changes to the TPM architecture that are necessary for a partitioned multicore processor. We propose several security measures to make the system secure against plausible known attacks. We analyze the system im...

Automated image segmentation is a critical step toward achieving a quantitative evaluation of disease states with imaging techniques. Two-photon fluorescence microscopy (TPM) has been employed to visualize the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) and provide images indicating the health of the retina. However, segmentation of RPE cells within TPM images is difficult due to small differences in fl...

In this paper, we demonstrate how the staged roll out of Trusted Computing technology, beginning with ubiquitous client-side Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs), can be used to enhance the security of Internet-based Card Not Present (CNP) transactions. This approach can be seen as an alternative to the proposed mass deployment of unconnected card readers in the provision of CNP transaction authoris...
