Existing smart contract vulnerability identification approaches mainly focus on complete program detection. Consequently, lots of known potentially vulnerable locations need manual verification, which is energy-exhaus...

The authors discuss multimedia data communications using the Internet from the standpoint of providing services, and propose a cost model based on multilevel complex objects for the purpose of responding to the various needs of users. The proposed cost model creates multiple levels of the service which provide each element of the complex object, and then introduces the concept of `service ranges' that can dynamically vary the service which can be received within the scope of the price paid. Conventional multimedia data can only provide one service. However, the authors' service can be selected dynamically from within a range based on the price paid by the user. In order to evaluate these methods, the authors created a framework which can be applied to 3DCG content using VRML by using Java and OODBMS. In addition, rights such as copyrights that are frequently a part of 3DCG content must be protected. The proposed multilevel complex object can confirm a user's rights by using a built-in user authentication function. Thus, copyright management features that provide services within a service range available to valid users and block out illegal users can be realized.

This paper describes the implementation of transmission-line matrix (TLM) method algorithms on a massively parallel computer (DECmpp 12000), the technique of distributed computing in the UNIX environment, and the combination of TLM analysis with Prony's method as well as with autoregressive moving average (ARMA) digital signal processing for electromagnetic field modelling. By combining these advanced computation techniques, typical electromagnetic field modelling of microwave structures by TLM analysis can be accelerated by a few orders of magnitude.
The term Research Software Engineer, or RSE, emerged a little over 10 years ago as a way to represent individuals working in the research community but focusing on software development. The term has been widely adopte...

BACKGROUND:The United Kingdom reported the emergence of a new and highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variant (B.1.1.7) that rapidly spread to other countries. The impact of this new mutation-which occurs in the S protein-on infectivity, virulence, and current vaccine effectiveness is still under evaluation.
OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study is to sequence SARS-CoV-2 samples of cases in Romania to detect the B.1.1.7 variant and compare these samples with sequences submitted to GISAID.
METHODS:SARS-CoV-2 samples were sequenced and amino acid substitution analysis was performed using the CoV-GLUE platform.
RESULTS:We have identified the first cases of the B.1.1.7 variant in samples collected from Romanian patients, of which one was traced to the region of the United Kingdom where the new variant was originally sequenced. Mutations in nonstructural protein 3 (Nsp3; N844S and D455N) and ORF3a (L15F) were also detected, indicating common ancestry with UK strains as well as remote connections with strains from Nagasaki, Japan.
CONCLUSIONS:These results indicate, for the first time, the presence and characteristics of the new variant B.1.1.7 in Romania and underscore the need for increased genomic sequencing in patients with confirmed COVID-19.
