An intelligent frame buffer architecture is proposed for parallel and distributed line scan-conversion . The architecture is of the type of wavefront array processors. It is demonstrated that the new frame buffer architecture achieves extremely high throughput and yet with very low frame buffer bandwidth requirement in scan-conversion, providing a solution to the bottleneck problem of pushing p...

This paper presents a solution to the notorious buffer overflow attack problem. Using this solution, users can prevent attackers from compromising their systems by changing the return address to execute injected code, which is the most common method used in buffer overflow attacks. Buffer overflow attacks can occur in almost any kind of programs and is one of the most common vulnerabilities tha...

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of flueride on resin bonding to artifieially carious enamel. Speeimens frorn demineralized human enamel sections were prepared using two commereially available adhesives (Clearfil SE Bond, Kuraray; Single Bond, 3M} and a composite resin (Clearfil AP-X, Kuraray) according to manufacturers' instructions. They were then immersed in phosph...

Populations of three isolates of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the pinewood nematode, and one of B. mucronatus were treated with three cryoprotectants at -70 C for 24 hours followed by deep freezing at -180 C in liquid nitrogen for different periods of time. A solution of 15% glycerol, 35% buffer S, and 50% M9, or 1% aqueous solution of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), or a mixture of 60% M9 and 40% S b...

In order to meet key requirements imposed by transitioning a 5G network, new network management techniques must be employed in increase reliability and efficiency. Most notably, it is important that Self-Organizing Network (SON) able recover autonomously from failure or congestion through Self-Healing procedures (i.e. autonomous detection, diagnosis, correction). This paper aims develop self-he...
