Heap-spraying is an attack technique that exploits memory corruptions in web browsers. A realtime detection of heap-spraying is difficult because of dynamic nature of JavaScript and monitoring overheads. In this paper, we propose a runtime detector of heap-spraying attacks in web browsers. We build a string trace graph by tracing all string objects and string operations in JavaScript. The graph...

A mathematical model for the simulation of the removal of hydrophilic compounds using biotrickling filtration was developed. The model takes into account that biotrickling filters operate by using an intermittent spraying pattern. During spraying periods, a mobile liquid phase was considered, while during non-spraying periods, a stagnant liquid phase was considered. The model was calibrated and...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of vector control and elimination of infected dogs on the incidence of infection with Leishmania chagasi. A randomized community intervention trial was carried out in Teresina between 1995 and 1996. The area was divided in 34 blocks randomically allocated to 4 types of intervention: 1) spraying houses and animal pens with insecticide; 2) sp...

Heap spraying is a security attack that increases the exploitability of memory corruption errors in type-unsafe applications. In a heap-spraying attack, an attacker coerces an application to allocate many objects containing malicious code in the heap, increasing the success rate of an exploit that jumps to a location within the heap. Because heap layout randomization necessitates new forms of a...

The within-field spatial distribution of beneficial arthropods was assessed using two-dimensional grids of pitfall traps and suction sampling across two winter wheat fields of 4 and 16 ha, before and after an application of dimethoate. An unsprayed 6 m wide buffer zone was left around half the edge of the larger field. Arthropod numbers fluctuated to varying extents prior to spraying. Two speci...

chromocolonoscopy using indigo carmine increases the detection of colorectal polyps remains controversial. Additional indigo carmine spraying during cap-assisted colonoscopy is expected to improve the detection rate of colon polyps, especially adenomatous polyps. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of cap-assisted chromocolonoscopy in the proximal colon for routine colonoscop...

While weeds in sugar beet farming reduce crop yield and quality, they also lead to higher labor and material losses. In recent years, in order to eliminate or reduce the damage caused by weeds in sugar beet farming, weed control has gained importance. To this end, various studies have been conducted on robotic weed control by detecting weeds using image processing algorithms and hoeing or spray...
