Adaptive just-in-time code diversification
We present a method to regenerate diversified code dynamically in a Java bytecode JIT compiler, and to update the diversification frequently during the execution of the program. This way, we can significantly reduce the time frame in which attackers can let a program leak useful address space information and subsequently use the leaked information in memory exploits. A proof of concept implementation is evaluated, showing that even though code is recompiled frequently, we can achieved smaller overheads than the previous state of the art, which generated diversity only once during the whole execution of a program
-decay half-lives of neutron-rich nuclei and matter flow in the -process
The -decay half-lives of neutron-rich nuclei with are systematically investigated using the newly developed fully
self-consistent proton-neutron quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA),
based on the spherical relativistic Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (RHFB) framework.
Available data are reproduced by including an isospin-dependent proton-neutron
pairing interaction in the isoscalar channel of the RHFB+QRPA model. With the
calculated -decay half-lives of neutron-rich nuclei a remarkable
speeding up of -matter flow is predicted. This leads to enhanced -process
abundances of elements with , an important result for the
understanding of the origin of heavy elements in the universe.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure
Vanishing viscosity limits for the degenerate lake equations with Navier boundary conditions
The paper is concerned with the vanishing viscosity limit of the
two-dimensional degenerate viscous lake equations when the Navier slip
conditions are prescribed on the impermeable boundary of a simply connected
bounded regular domain. When the initial vorticity is in the Lebesgue space
with , we show the degenerate viscous lake equations
possess a unique global solution and the solution converges to a corresponding
weak solution of the inviscid lake equations. In the special case when the
vorticity is in , an explicit convergence rate is obtained
High-speed measurement of rotational anisotropy nonlinear optical harmonic generation using position sensitive detection
We present a method of performing high-speed rotational anisotropy nonlinear
optical harmonic generation experiments at rotational frequencies of several
hertz by projecting the harmonic light reflected at different angles from a
sample onto a stationary position sensitive detector. The high rotational speed
of the technique, to times larger than existing methods, permits
precise measurements of the crystallographic and electronic symmetries of
samples by averaging over low frequency laser power, beam pointing, and pulse
width fluctuations. We demonstrate the sensitivity of our technique by
resolving the bulk four-fold rotational symmetry of GaAs about its [001] axis
using second harmonic generation
