It Is Time to Standardize Principles and Practices for Software Memory Safety by Watson, Robert, Baldwin, John, Chen, Tony, Chisnall, David, Clarke, Jessica, Davis, Brooks, Filardo, Nathaniel, Gutstein, Brett, Jenkinson, Graeme, Laurie, Ben, Mazzinghi, Alfredo, Moore, Simon, Neumann, Peter, Okhravi, Hamed, Rebert, Alex, Richardson, Alex, Sewell, Peter, Tratt, Laurence, Vijayaraghavan, Muralidaran, Vincent, Hugo, Witaszczyk, Konrad

“…In this Inside Risks column, we explore memory-safety standardization, which we argue is an essential step to promoting universal strong memory safety in government and industry, and, in turn, to ensure access to more secure software for all. During the last two decades, a set of research technologies for strong memory safety—memory-safe languages, hardware and software protection, formal approaches, and software compartmentalization—have reached sufficient maturity to see early deployment in security-critical use cases. …”

Book Mavens of Manila : an interpretative phenomenological analysis of contemporary niche publishers in the Philippines by Sagun, Karryl Kim Abella

“…My findings demonstrate that Darnton’s claim that the external forces influencing the life cycle of the book comprise a single entity is flawed. The last chapter, Chapter Nine, provides a summary of my work and its contributions, a discussion on its limitations, and suggestions for future research.…”

Numerical investigations on vortex-ring collisions with heated sphere by Hoong, Jun Fong

“…This resulted in a relatively stable primary vortex ring as lesser instabilities effect were introduced due to absence of inviscid interaction between primary and tertiary vortex ring. Finally, the last simulation was done for collision of a vortex ring that was offset laterally upon heated sphere with sphere-to-ring diameter ratios of 1. …”

Development of a graphical user interface for 2D shape morphing by Paulina Konggidinata.

“…In the interpolation step, the user can select vertex interpolation or intrinsic-edge angle interpolation algorithm to generate a reliable transformation from the source to the destination shape. In the last step, we can use the edge-tweaking method or a new method to solve the non-closure problem occurred in intrinsic interpolation algorithm.…”
