CipherTrace: automatic detection of ciphers from execution traces by Hassanin, MA

“…Generally, the detection and identification of cryptographic functions, routines, or algorithms facilitates malware analysis and forensics. However, most of the attempts presented in the literature have basically followed a top-down approach, which (by design) has limited them, as they are mainly focused on detecting certain implementations, rather than the building blocks, elements, or ingredients of cryptography in general. …”

Strain-specific parallel evolution drives short-term diversification during Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation by McElroy, Kerensa E., Hui, Janice G. K., Woo, Jerry K. K., Luk, Alison W. S., Webb, Jeremy S., Kjelleberg, Staffan, Rice, Scott A., Thomas, Torsten

“…Taken together, these results suggest that the majority of the P. aeruginosa genome is constrained by negative selection, with strong positive selection acting on an accessory subset of genes that facilitate adaptation to the biofilm lifecycle. Long-term bacterial evolution is known to proceed via few, nonsynonymous, positively selected mutations, and here we show that similar dynamics govern short-term, within-population bacterial diversification.…”

Identifying influential parameters of octahedrally coordinated cations in spinel ZnMnₓCo₂–ₓO₄ oxides for the oxidation reaction by Wang, Ting, Sun, Yuanmiao, Zhou, Ye, Sun, Shengnan, Hu, Xiao, Dai, Yihu, Xi, Shibo, Du,Yonghua, Yang, Yanhui, Xu, Zhichuan Jason

“…The presence of Mn4+ and Mn3+ in a proper ratio is another key for achieving high oxidation activity and can be rationalized by the moderate oxygen adsorption during CO oxidation, which facilitates O vacancy refilling. This is also supported by the density function theory calculation, showing that the high activity of ZnMn0.2Co1.8O4 originates from having the O p-band center neither too far from nor too close to the Fermi level. …”

Decentralized multimedia data sharing in IoV: a learning-based equilibrium of supply and demand by Fan, Jiani, Xu, Minrui, Guo, Jiale, Shar, Lwin Khin, Kang, Jiawen, Niyato, Dusit, Lam, Kwok-Yan

“…Decentralized data sharing can improve security, privacy, reliability, and facilitate infotainment data sharing in IoVs. However, decentralized data sharing may not achieve the expected efficiency if there are IoV users who only want to consume the shared data but are not willing to contribute their own data to the community, resulting in incomplete information observed by other vehicles and infrastructure, which can introduce additional transmission latency. …”
