At the VB2011 conference, our team discussed the techniques used by the Blackhole and Phoenix browser exploit packs (BEPs) [1] to spread malware. Blackhole has become a major player in the world of BEPs, but it is not the only one in demand. Sweet Orange and ProPack have recently entered the market, and both are gaining popularity. A simple traffi c analysis of Sweet Orange can be found in [2]....

This study sought to characterize the effects of some citrus fruit juices (shaddock [Citrus maxima], grapefruit [Citrus paradisii], lemon [Citrus limoni], orange [Citrus sinensis], and tangerine [Citrus reticulata]) on acetylcholinesterase activity in vitro. The total phenolic content, radical scavenging abilities, and inhibition of Fe(2+)-induced malondialdehyde (MDA) production in rats brain ...

This tutorial examines how people of various cultures classify different colors as belonging together under common color names. This is addressed by examining Berlin and Kay’s (1969) hierarchical classification scheme. Special attention is paid to the additional five (derived) color terms (i.e., brown, purple, pink, orange, and gray) that must be added to Herings’ six primaries (i.e., white, bl...

Manganese peroxidases (MnPs) are key players in the ligninolytic system of white rot fungi. In Pleurotus ostreatus (the oyster mushroom) these enzymes are encoded by a gene family comprising nine members, mnp1 to -9 (mnp genes). Mn(2+) amendment to P. ostreatus cultures results in enhanced degradation of recalcitrant compounds (such as the azo dye orange II) and lignin. In Mn(2+)-amended glucos...

Electrochemical behavior of acid orange 7 has been exhaustively studied in aqueous solutions with different pH values, using cyclic voltammetry and constant current coulometry. This study has provided new insights into the mechanistic details, pH dependence and intermediate structure of both electrochemical oxidation and reduction of acid orange 7. Surprisingly, the results indicate that a same...

A model solution of orange juice was prepared and stored. Factors affecting browning and formation of such decomposition products as 3-hydroxy-2-pyrone (3OH2P), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), furfural, 5-hydroxymaltol, and 2-furoic acid were examined. Ascorbic acid (AsA) was essential for browning, which was stimulated by amino acids and citric acid, and repressed by chelators and radical scave...

A working definition of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is technique by which one generates the atomic trajectories of a system of N particles by numerical integration of Newton’s equation of motion, for a specific interatomic potential, with certain initial condition (IC) and boundary condition (BC). Consider, for example (see Fig. 1), a system with N atoms in a volume . We can define its i...

The overall objective of this chapter is to provide an introduction to basic terminology that the first-time student may find useful when exploring articles and books related to cancer epidemiology. The chapter is designed to introduce the reader to a number of basic concepts that apply to benign and malignant neoplasms, tumor metastases, tumor staging, and grading classification schemes and to...
