Modeling Network Worm Outbreaks
… malware. This paper will focus on a computer worm, a type of malware, spread within a business network. A mathematical model is proposed consisting of four compartments labeled as Susceptible, Infectious, Treatment, and Antidotal. We shall show that allocating resources into treating …

Automated Defense Against Worm Propagation.
Worms have caused significant destruction over the last few years. Network security elements such as firewalls, IDS, etc have been ineffective against worms. Some worms are so fast that a manual intervention is not possible. This brings in the need for a stronger security architecture which can …

Osteology of the worm snakes (Carphophis)
The primary purposes of the study were to describe and compare the skeletons of the three forms of Carphophis, evaluate a recent proposal to raise C. a. vermis to full species rank, and compare Carphophis to Calamaria, a genus of fossorial snakes found in Indo-Malayan forests.

Detecting worm mutations using machine learning
Worms are malicious programs that spread over the Internet without human intervention. Since worms generally spread faster than humans can respond, the only viable defence is to automate their detection. Network intrusion detection systems typically detect worms by examining packet or flow logs for …

Studies on gametogenesis in the Echiuroid worm, Urechis caupo
<p>During the spring of 1955, while attending classes at the Pacific Marine Station, under the direction of Dr. Alden E. Nobel, Chairman of the Department of Zoology, College of the Pacific, Urechis caupo was introduced as a representative of the fauna of the mud flats of Tomales Bay. The unusual …

Interactions and epidemiology of nematode worm control in livestock
… and Duddingtonia flagrans (chapter 4). The GLOWORM-FL model was adapted to predict the larval burdens for plant and D. flagrans in various European regions (chapter 5), this study found there to be clear differences in how combined treatments are targeted which can change dependent on both …

Worm-shaped polymersomes and their effects on targeting efficiency
… to control particle shape. I hypothesized that worm-shaped polymersomes formed from self-assembly between poly(amino acid)s would have more targeting capability than spherical polymersomes. Morphology of the resulting polymersome was observed afterwards. The polymersome was further modified to …

Neural Development to Neurodegeneration Through the Mind of a Worm
… Introducing a human tau variant into the worms caused breaks in motor neurons and a reduction in the overall movement of the worm. This leads us to believe that this strain would be beneficial for testing anti-tau therapies to stop aggregants from forming before neuronal cell death …

SOFT WORM ROBOT: LOCOMOTION CHARACTERISTICS AND SENSING FOR AGRICULTURAL ROBOTICS
… this challenge by introducing a new soft earthworm robot with advanced navigation and sensing capabilities that can move through simple to complex terrains and under the soil to obtain these measurements. Inspired by the movement of earthworms, this robot uses peristaltic movement for efficient …

Transaction Log on WORM Architecture with Built-in Audit Helper
… thesis reviews and extends transaction log on WORM (TLOW) architecture, a practical compliance solution that supports long-term immutability for relational tuples. Given that majority of enterprise information systems are supported by RDBMS, TLOW allows for smooth transition to the compliant …

High-throughput, single-worm tracking and analysis in Caenorhabditis elegans
… for each one of the cells in wild-type (N2) worms, is known. The connectivity, for all 302 neurons of wild-type hermaphrodites, has been mapped. Many of its genes have homologs within other organisms, including humans. C. elegans have a well-defined repertoire of observed behaviors. For these …

Characterisation of an immune-modulating peptide secreted by a helminth worm
Parasitic worms (helminths) have evolved mechanisms to potently modulate the mammalian immune response to ensure their long-term survival, while concomitantly preventing excessive tissue pathology within the host. The outcome of this activity is a potent suppression of mammalian pro-inflammatory …

Characterizing Host Protective Immune Responses to the Parasitic Worm Heligmosomoides polygyrus
Intestinal roundworms cause chronic debilitating disease in humans and livestock. The lack of vaccines and the emerging drug resistance only increase the need to better understand worm-host interactions. H. polygyrus larvae induce an intestinal granuloma response whereby immune cells, mostly …

Mopane worm use, livelihoods and environmental change in Limpopo Province, South Africa
… throughout the world. In southern Africa, mopane worms are widely harvested for household consumption and traded for income generation. This study investigated the contribution of mopane worm harvesting to rural livelihoods, and the effects of environmental change on mopane worm harvesting in …

Nuclear Receptor Controls Nematode Metabolism And Development: Insight Into Man’s Nemesis, the Conqueror Worm
The nuclear receptor DAF-12 plays a central role in controlling the larval development of C. elegans. Activation of DAF-12 by its ligands called dafachronic acids (DAs) commits the nematode to development into reproductive adult, which will otherwise arrest at a diapause stage called dauer. But the …

Monster Quest: Background Myth and Contemporary Context of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Conqueror Worm"
… "Ligeia" and its companion poem "The Conqueror Worm" have garnered little critical attention, though he believed them to be his best works. Considering the archetypal image of the worm, contemporary references, and Poe's other uses of the symbol, an analysis of the poem and its context within …

Sex pheromone studies on the grass grub (Costelytra Zealandica (White)) and the common army worm
… of a sex pheromone of the common armyworm moth, Pseudaletia separata, is also described. The larval stages of the grass grub beetle cause extensive damage to pasture during the autumn-winter period and constitute New Zealand’s major insect pest. Since the banning of DDT, the larvae …

Post-fledging habitat use and movements of worm-eating warblers in the Tennessee River Gorge
