USBCaptchaIn: Preventing (Un)Conventional Attacks from Promiscuously Used USB Devices in Industrial Control Systems [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are sensible targets for high profile attackers and advanced persistent threats, which are known to exploit USB thumb drives as an effective spreading vector. In ICSes, thumb drives are widely used to transfer files among disconnected systems and represent a serious security risks, since, they may be promiscuously used ...

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose The study evaluates rapid linear accelerator (Linac) single isocenter stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) with Hyperarc for large target numbers. We compared to Gamma Knife (GK), which suffers from long treatment times and investigated causes of differences. Methods Linac SRS and GK treatment plans for patients receiving 18 Gy to the gross

The Five-Minute Rule Ten Years Later, and Other Computer Storage Rules of Thumb [PDF]
ACM SIGMOD Record 26(4): 63-68 (1997), 1998 Simple economic and performance arguments suggest appropriate lifetimes for main memory pages and suggest optimal page sizes. The fundamental tradeoffs are the prices and bandwidths of RAMs and disks. The analysis indicates that with today's technology, five minutes is a good lifetime for randomly accessed pages, one minute is a good lifetime for two ...

In vivo transit dosimetry methodology for whole breast intensity modulated radiation therapy
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Background In vivo transit dosimetry using an electronic portal imaging device (EPID‐IVTD) is an important tool for verifying the accuracy of radiation therapy treatments. Despite its potential, the implementation of EPID‐IVTD in breast intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatments has not yet been standardized, limiting its clinical

A Sentimental Education: Sentiment Analysis Using Subjectivity Summarization Based on Minimum Cuts [PDF]
Proceedings of the 42nd ACL, pp. 271--278, 2004, 2004 Sentiment analysis seeks to identify the viewpoint(s) underlying a text span; an example application is classifying a movie review as "thumbs up" or "thumbs down". To determine this sentiment polarity, we propose a novel machine-learning method that applies text-categorization techniques to just the subjective portions of the document. Extracting these

Development of a generic focal spot measurement method suitable for bore‐type linacs
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose In linear accelerators, deviations in the x‐ray focal spot position significantly affect the accuracy of radiation therapy. However, as the focal spot position in bore‐type linac systems such as the Radixact system, cannot be assessed using conventional methods, a new evaluation method is required.
