Connecting the RS-232 interface to your computer l Connecting your spectrum analyzer to a printer l If there is a problem l Information about HP-IB and RS-232 Connecting Your Spectrum Analyzer to a Computer The spectrum analyzer works with many popular computers. However, the steps required to connect your spectrum analyzer to a specific computer depend on the computer you are using. Before turning to the interconnection instructions for your computer, please read the following general information. Configuring Your Computer System Every computer system has a specific configuration. Your system configuration might include a printer or an external disk drive. Whenever you add another piece of equipment (for example, your spectrum analyzer), you may need to reconfigure your computer system so that the computer knows where and how to send infor- mation to the newly added device. Some computers do not require configuring when a spectrum analyzer is con- nected. Others require a simple modification. The most common modification is changing the configuration information stored on the computer’s operating system disk. A few computers require the insertion of an add-on board, or “card.” Refer to your computer documentation if your system needs these modifications. All of the test programs for HP-IB and RS-232 interfaces are written using the BASIC language. If you have never entered or mn a BASIC program, refer to your computer documentation.

  • Supplementary Material for Traditional Agricultural Practices and the Sex Ratio Today Alberto Alesina1,2, Paola Giuliano3,2,*, Nathan Nunn1,2
    Supplementary Material for Traditional agricultural practices and the sex ratio today Alberto Alesina1,2, Paola Giuliano3,2,*, Nathan Nunn1,2 1 Harvard University. 2 NBER. 3 UCLA. *Correspondence to: [email protected] The Supplementary Material provides details on the data sources and the robustness of the analysis for the results derived in the paper. Additional details on the Ethnographic Atlas The Ethnographic Atlas was constructed by George Peter Murdock. It contains ethnographic information for 1,265 ethnic groups worldwide. The period in which the information was collected varies by ethnicity, with the earliest observation dates coming from ethnicities in the Old World (where early written evidence is available) and the most recent information dating around the 20th century, for those parts of the world without a written history and directly observed by anthropologists. All societies are observed prior to industrialization. In total, 23 ethnicities are observed during the 17th century or earlier, 16 during the 18th century, 310 during the 19th century, 876 between 1900 and 1950, and 31 after 1950. For nine ethnicities, an exact year is not provided. The variable v39 classifies each ethnic group as being in one of the following three categories: (1) the plough was absent, (2) the plough existed at the time the group was observed, but it was not aboriginal, and (3) the plough was aboriginal, having existed prior to contact. Using this information, we construct an indicator variable that equals one if the plough was ever adopted during the pre-industrial period (whether aboriginal or not) and zero otherwise. Of the 1,156 ethnicities for which information exists, for 997 the plough was absent, for 141 the plough was adopted (and aboriginal), and for 18 it was adopted, but after European contact.

    Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department Technical Report NWU-EECS-07-02 February 3, 2006 Network-based and Attack-resilient Length Signature Generation for Zero-day Polymorphic Worms Zhichun Li, Lanjia Wang, Yan Chen and Zhi (Judy) Fu Abstract It is crucial to detect zero-day polymorphic worms and to generate signatures at the edge network gateways or honeynets so that we can prevent the worms from propagating at their early phase. However, most existing network-based signatures generated are not vulnerability based and can be easily evaded under attacks. In this paper, we propose to design vulnerability based signatures without any host-level analysis of worm execution or vulnerable programs. As the first step, we design a network-based Length-based Signature Generator (LESG) for worms based on buffer overflow vulnerabilities. The signatures generated are intrinsic to buffer overflows, and are very hard for attackers to evade. We further prove the attack resilience bounds even under worst case attacks with deliberate noise injection. Moreover, LESG is fast, noise-tolerant, and has efficient signature matching. Evaluation based on real-world vulnerabilities of various protocols and real network traffic demonstrates that LESG is promising in achieving these goals. Keywords: zero-day vulnerability; polymorphic worm; worm signature generation; network intrusion detection/prevention system (IDS/IPS); protocol field length based signature Network-based and Attack-resilient Length Signature Generation for Zero-day Polymorphic Worms Zhichun Li, Lanjia Wangy, Yan Chen and Zhi (Judy) Fuz Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, USA yTsinghua University, Beijing, China zMotorola Labs, Schaumburg IL, USA Abstract It is crucial to detect zero-day polymorphic worms and to generate signatures at the edge network gateways or honeynets so that we can prevent the worms from propagating at its early phase.

  • Description of Knowledge of Mathematical Programs with TEX and XML
    Description of Knowledge of Mathematical Programs with TEX and XML Balázs Vecsei BUTE Mathematical Institute, 5th year student 1111 Budapest, Egry József u. 1, Hungary [email protected] http://www.math.bme.hu/~vecseib Abstract There are many free mathematical programs and databases on the Internet, but use of these pro- grams can be difficult. In this paper I would like to show an XML-based mathematical knowledge description language. In this language I will describe the ability of different kinds of mathematical programs. In my opinion, XML is a useful base for this language, because it is well standardized, and there are tools for handling it. Résumé Il y a une multitude de programmes et bases de données mathématiques sur Internet, mais leur utilisation peut être difficile. Dans cet article nous présentons un langage de description de connais- sance mathématiques basé sur XML. Dans ce langage nous décrivons les fonctionnalités de divers programmes mathématiques. Nous pensons que XML est un fondement utile de ce langage, grâce à sa normalisation et à l’existence d’outils de traitement de celui-ci. Introduction – an interlingua for mathematical communica- tion (OMDoc) I think we need a mechanism to describe the knowledge about free mathematical programs, because more than 50 – a portal for potential users and a discusssion mathematical programs are on the Internet, under the forum for developers GPL or other free licenses. • openmath: OpenMath is an emerging standard for The documentation of the free mathematical pro- representing mathematical objects with their se- grams is often written in a TEX-based language, and we mantics, allowing them to be exchanged between can download it, along with the programs’ source.
