Writing and managing firewall ACLs are hard and error-prone tasks for a wide range of reasons. During these tasks, inconsistent rules can be introduced. An inconsistent firewall ACL implies in general a design error, and indicates that the firewall is accepting traffic that should be denied or vice versa. However, the administrator is who ultimately decides if an inconsistent rule is a fault or...

Tissue engineering of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) implant with ACL cells requires detailed analysis of the tissue characteristics that should be mimicked. Therefore, we studied the histological and biochemical properties of rabbit derived ACLs in comparison to other knee-associated tendons that are used as autografts in men. Rabbit derived ACLs and Musculus (M.) semimembranosus, M. semi...

It is a challenging task for network administrators to correctly implement corporate security policies in a large network environment. Much of the security policy enforcement at the network level involves configuring the packet classification strategies using Access Control List (ACL). A gateway device performing traffic filtering can deploy ACLs with thousands of rules. Due to the difficulties...

OBJECTIVE To examine cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality risk in men with diabetes only, metabolic syndrome only, and concurrent metabolic syndrome and diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We examined CVD mortality risk by metabolic syndrome and diabetes status in men from the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study (ACLS) (mean +/- SD age 45.1 +/- 10.2 years). Participants were categorized as...

b 2-Glycoprotein I ( b 2GPI), a plasma glycoprotein with phospholipid-binding property, is known to be the actual target antigen for autoimmune type anticardiolipin antibodies (aCLs). Certain groups of aCLs (antib 2GPI antibodies) exert lupus anticoagulant (LA) activity and perturb the function of vascular endothelial cells. This investigation aimed at highlighting some insights into the molecu...

We specify and formally verify security properties of an extension of a UNIX file system. Extensions include a multi-level security model, ACLs, separate MAC and DAC administration, and others. The security properties we verified are: simple security and confinement as defined in the Bell and LaPadula security model [3, 4], the standard DAC policy for ACLs, and a security policy for the adminis...

Fact: Tellabs Optical LAN provides Access Control Lists (ACLs), Broadcast Datagram Rate Limiting at each user device and strong authentication. Authentication based on 802.1x allows multiple devices per user port along with advanced intrusion detection — effectively locking down the physical port upon detection of an untrusted device. ACLs provide flexibility to statically and/or dynamically pe...

One important new use for computers is in medical education. These two programs are designed to help teach how to handle cardiac emergencies using the most recent American Heart Association's Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) guidelines. The Code Blue Professor reviews the recent changes in the ACLS guidelines and simulates nine different code situations, asking the user to supply the next s...

One of the most important aspects of the research on agent interaction is the definition of agent communication languages (ACLs), and the specification of a proper formal semantics of such languages is a crucial prerequisite for the usefulness and acceptance of artificial agency. Nevertheless, those ACLs which are still mostly used, especially the standard FIPA-ACL, have a communication act sem...
