Design and Analysis of Decoy Systems for Computer Security
… in each context where a system is threatened, decoys can be used to deny critical information to adversaries making it harder for them to achieve their target goal. The approach leverages deception and the use of decoy technologies to deceive adversaries and trap nefarious acts. This …

Soluble decoy receptors for broad neutralization of viruses and their variants
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2025-08-01

A regulatory role for repeated decoy transcription factor binding sites in target gene expression
… A possible mechanism is that TRs serve as TF decoys, competing with a promoter for TF binding. We utilized a synthetic system in budding yeast to examine if repeated binding sites serve as decoys, and alter the expression of genes regulated by the sequestered TF. Combining experiments with …

NEW METHODS TO QUANTIFY METHIONINE OXIDATION AND PROTEIN GLYCOSYLATION AND A DE NOVO GLYCOPEPTIDE DECOY GENERATOR
Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) produce complex, heterogeneous species that can best be identified and analyzed using mass spectrometry (MS). The ever-growing number of protein bioetherapeutics need effective MS tools to characterize PTMs and ensure drug safety and efficacy. …

Optimización de ingresos en restaurantes mediante el uso del efecto señuelo (decoy effect) en el diseño de menús
… analiza el impacto del efecto señuelo (decoy effect) en la optimización de los ingresos de restaurantes mediante el diseño estratégico del menú. En particular, se estudia si la inclusión de un plato con un precio significativamente más elevado que el resto puede influir en la elección …

Evaluation and assignment of significance levels to peptide identifications from the database search programs using resampling approach
… programs is demonstrated. Novel k-permuted decoy databases (where k denotes the type and number of permutations) were evaluated for accurate computation of match significance levels. K-permuted decoy databases were generated by: (a) complete permutations of peptide sequences (Whole), (b) …

Quantum Cryptography: From Theory to Practice
… of the hardware, we will prove that the decoy state method can close this loophole and substantially improve the QKD performance. We also propose a few practical decoy state protocols, study statistical fluctuations and perform experimental demonstrations. Moreover, we will apply the …

DRONE SWARMING TACTICS IN A CONTESTED ENVIRONMENT
… how force composition, weapon technology, and decoy tactics shape the outcomes of swarm attacks. The model pits a layered defender equipped with a mix of weapon and sensor systems to protect an asset against an attacker who employs suppression drones to degrade defenses, lethal drones to strike …

Asymmetric dominance effect in choice for others
… change when a third and completely dominated decoy option is added to a two choice set, as a way for decision makers to simplify the decision. Choosing for others is a common occurrence, yet not widely explored in the literature. Results of an experiments showed that the asymmetrically …

Using Decoys as a Resiliency Mechanism in Spectrally Harsh DSA Environments
… and receiving data. This thesis discusses a decoy-based approach to mitigate conditions in which interference reacts to the spectral movement of the transmitting DSA radio as it hops around the frequency spectrum. Specifically using a polyphase channelizer, multiple replicas of the …

Towards Effective Masquerade Attack Detection
… approach. I monitor user actions directed at decoy documents embedded in the user's local file system. The decoy documents, which contain enticing information to the attacker, are known to the legitimate user of the system, and therefore should not be touched by him or her. Access to these …

Ballistic missile tracking using the interacting multiple model joint probabilistic data association filter
… is jeopardized by the use of hostile missile decoy deployment and evasive maneuvers. The ability to discriminate between legitimate threats and decoys is a crucial requirement for interceptor algorithms. The feasibility of the interacting multiple model joint probabilistic data association …

Cytokines regulation of chemokine and chemokine receptor in relation to multiple sclerosis.
… pathways were observed for CXCL10. D6 chemokine decoy receptor expression was then assessed in vitro and in situ to further investigate the mechanism(s) of chemokine binding to astrocytes. Cultured astrocytes constitutively expressed the D6 decoy receptor at the mRNA and protein level, but levels …

IL-1 activation of NF-kB contributes to perinatal hypoxia/ischemia induced cell death
… of Bcl-3. \r\nInhibition of NF-kB via decoys containing NF-kB binding consensus sequences present in IgG-kB promoter showed specific inhibition of p65/p50 binding activity, while Bcl-x decoys specifically inhibited c-Rel/p50 (p52) binding activity. RPAs showed that IgG-kB decoys …

Privatizing the Volume and Timing of Blockchain Transactions
… adding sufficient noise using indistinguishable decoy transactions such that an adversary cannot deduce which transactions actually impacted the outcome of the application. This is facilitated in a manner where anyone can publicly verify the application's execution to be correct, fair, and …

Survivability Against Intelligent Adversary in Next-Generation Wireless Networks
… intelligence of an attacker and lures it to a decoy transmission, while other legitimate communications bypass attacks. However, selecting a node to act as decoy degrades its performance. We propose state-based decoy selection strategies that select decoys dynamically based on optimization …

Efficient algorithm for selecting protein residue-residue contacts
… structure prediction algorithm to produce ""decoy"" models as tentative 3D structures for proteins. However, the computation power required for structural prediction grows exponentially with respect to the number of contacts selected. Thus selecting few and yet informative contacts are …

Roles of NF-kB in spinal cord injury pathophysiology
… Inhibition of NF-kB p50/p65 was performed using decoy deoxyoligonucleotides containing the NF-kB consensus binding site to the Cox-2 promoter. The decoy treatment was successful in abrogating SCI-induced Cox-2 and iNOS protein increases. The decoys did not appear to significantly affect …

Investigating on-field decision making in rugby union
… Both Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 investigated the decoy runners tactic, which is a novel form of deception in the literature to date, as it centres on players who are not in possession of the ball. The tactic involves multiple players in an attacking team running option lines off the ball carrier, …
