Botnets is a serious threat to Internet security. Popular defense strategies such as traffic filtering and malware detection all require a good understanding of the constituent bot binaries for creating the corresponding filter rules or signatures. This means that an effective analysis and classification process for bot binaries is needed for dealing with the threat of botnets. Unfortunately, t...

Tumor-specificity (TS) and anti-inflammatory activity of benzo[b]cyclohept[e][1,4]oxazin-6(11H)-one, generally known as benzoxazinotropone (BOT), have been reported. In order to find a new biological activity, the combination effect of BOT and three apoptosis-inducing agents was investigated. Cytotoxicity against four human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines and five human oral norm...

The creation of effective autonomous agents (bots) for combat scenarios has long been a goal of the gaming industry. However, a secondary consideration is whether the autonomous bots behave like human players; this is especially important for simulation/training applications which aim to instruct participants in real-world tasks. Bots often compensate for a lack of combat acumen with advantages...

One of the most significant threats faced by enterprise networks today is from Bots. A Bot is a program that operates as an agent for a user and runs automated tasks over the internet, at a much higher rate than would be possible for a human alone. A collection of Bots in a network, used for malicious purposes is referred to as a Botnet. Bot attacks can range from localized attacks like key-log...

AIM To increase the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of patients with recurrences of borderline ovarian tumors (BOT). MATERIALS AND METHODS 106 patients with BOT of stage I have been treated and clinically observed: the I group (82 patients, mean age -- 38.9 ± 5.5 years), who were treated with standard surgical operation (panhysterectomy); the II group (24 patients, mean age -- 30.3 ± 5....

INTRODUCTION The present study assessed the efficacy of initial basal-supported oral therapy (BOT) with sitagliptin for achievement of glycemic control and subsequent switching from BOT to sitagliptin-based oral therapy. METHODS Nineteen recently diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients who had received no antidiabetic medication in the previous 2 years were sequentially examined for the 24-week st...

* To Dr. T. H. Goodspeed, Professor of Botany and Director of the Botanical Garden, University of California, the author expresses her sincere gratitude both for counsel and for extending every research facility, including seeds of most of the Nicotiana cultures investigated. In addition she acknowledges with pleasure seeds sent her by E. E. Cheel, J. M. Black, Professor J. B. Cleland and Hazel...

In this work, we introduce a swarm robotic system, called a swarm-bot. A swarm-bot is a self-assembling and self-organizing artifact composed of a swarm of s-bots, mobile robots with the ability to connect to/disconnect from each other. In particular, we address the problem of synthesizing controllers for the swarm-bot using Artificial Evolution. We describe the motivation behind the choice of ...

So-called ‘social bots’ have garnered a lot of attention lately. Previous research showed that they attempted to influence political events such as the Brexit referendum and the US presidential elections. It remains, however, somewhat unclear what exactly can be understood by the term ‘social bot’. This paper addresses the need to better understand the intentions of bots on social media and to ...
