TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element method for the solution of 3D incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows is presented, where a Galerkin-least-squares variational formulation is used allowing equal-order approximations for all unknowns.

TL;DR: A novel security metric, k-zero day safety, is proposed that counts how many unknown vulnerabilities would be required for compromising network assets; a larger count implies more security because the likelihood of having more unknown vulnerabilities available, applicable, and exploitable all at the same time will be significantly lower.
Abstract: By enabling a direct comparison of different security solutions with respect to their relative effectiveness, a network security metric may provide quantifiable evidences to assist security practitioners in securing computer networks. However, research on security metrics has been hindered by difficulties in handling zero-day attacks exploiting unknown vulnerabilities. In fact, the security risk of unknown vulnerabilities has been considered as something unmeasurable due to the less predictable nature of software flaws. This causes a major difficulty to security metrics, because a more secure configuration would be of little value if it were equally susceptible to zero-day attacks. In this paper, we propose a novel security metric, k-zero day safety, to address this issue. Instead of attempting to rank unknown vulnerabilities, our metric counts how many such vulnerabilities would be required for compromising network assets; a larger count implies more security because the likelihood of having more unknown vulnerabilities available, applicable, and exploitable all at the same time will be significantly lower. We formally define the metric, analyze the complexity of computing the metric, devise heuristic algorithms for intractable cases, and finally demonstrate through case studies that applying the metric to existing network security practices may generate actionable knowledge.

TL;DR: Results indicate that DA is released unconditionally in the nucleus accumbens of male rats by exposure to sexually receptive female rats, and that copulation with intromission, but not mounting alone, leads to further increases in DA release.

TL;DR: In this article, a printed monopole antenna with two steps and a circular slot for ultrawide band (UWB) applications is presented, which has a wide frequency bandwidth of 8.4 GHz.
Abstract: This letter presents a printed monopole antenna with two steps and a circular slot for ultrawide band (UWB) applications. The proposed antenna is fabricated and tested. The proposed antenna has a wide frequency bandwidth of 8.4 GHz starting from 3 GHz up to 11.4 GHz for a return loss (S_11) of less than - 10dB and gain flatness over the frequency range. Measured results show also that the proposed antenna features satisfactory radiation characteristics within the achieved impedance bandwidth. By introducing a simple and proper narrow slot in the radiating element, frequency-notched characteristics can be obtained and a good band-notched performance in the 56 GHz band can be achieved.
