Distributed interaction between computer virus and patch: A modeling study
The decentralized patch distribution mechanism holds significant promise as
an alternative to its centralized counterpart. For the purpose of accurately
evaluating the performance of the decentralized patch distribution mechanism
and based on the exact SIPS model that accurately captures the average dynamics
of the interaction between viruses and patches, a new virus-patch interacting
model, which is known as the generic SIPS model, is proposed. This model
subsumes the linear SIPS model. The dynamics of the generic SIPS model is
studied comprehensively. In particular, a set of criteria for the final
extinction or/and long-term survival of viruses or/and patches are presented.
Some conditions for the linear SIPS model to accurately capture the average
dynamics of the virus-patch interaction are empirically found. As a
consequence, the linear SIPS model can be adopted as a standard model for
assessing the performance of the distributed patch distribution mechanism,
provided the proper conditions are satisfied
2,2′-Dimethyl-1,1′-[2,2-bis(bromomethyl)propane-1,3-diyl]dibenzimidazole hemihydrate
The title compound, C21H22Br2N4·0.5H2O, contains two benzimidazole groups which may provide two potential coordination nodes for the construction of metal–organic frameworks. The mean planes of the two imidazole groups are almost perpendicular, with a dihedral angle of 83.05 (2)°, and adjacent molecules are linked into a one-dimensional chain by π–π stacking interactions between imidazole groups of different molecules [centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.834 (2) and 3.522 (2) Å]
3-Carboxyquinolin-1-ium-2-carboxylate monohydrate
The title compound, C11H7NO4·H2O, contains a 3-carboxyquinolin-1-ium-2-carboxylate (qda) zwitterion and one water molecule. In the crystal, pairs of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into inversion dimers, and these dimers are further connected by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture. In addition, π–π interactions occur between pyridine and benzene rings from different qda ligands [centroid–centroid distance = 3.749 (1) Å] and the dihedral angles of the –CO2H and –CO2 groups to the quinoline system are 8.47 (3) and 88.16 (6)°, respectively
