  • TR-SBA-Research-0512-01: Fast and Efficient Browser Identification With
    Fast and Efficient Browser Identification with JavaScript Engine Fingerprinting Technical Report TR-SBA-Research-0512-01 Martin Mulazzani∗, Philipp Reschl; Markus Huber∗, Manuel Leithner∗, Edgar Weippl∗ *SBA Research Favoritenstrasse 16 AT-1040 Vienna, Austria mmulazzani@sba-research.org Abstract. While web browsers are becoming more and more important in everyday life, the reliable detection of whether a client is using a specific browser is still a hard problem. So far, the UserAgent string is used, which is a self-reported string provided by the client. It is, however, not a security feature, and can be changed arbitrarily. In this paper, we propose a new method for identifying Web browsers, based on the underlying Javascript engine. We set up a Javascript confor- mance test and calculate a fingerprint that can reliably identify a given browser, and can be executed on the client within a fraction of a sec- ond. Our method is three orders of magnitude faster than previous work on browser fingerprinting, and can be implemented in just a few hun- dred lines of Javascript. Furthermore, we collected data for more than 150 browser and operating system combinations, and present algorithms to calculate minimal fingerprints for each of a given set of browsers to make fingerprinting as fast as possible. We evaluate the feasibility of our method with a survey and discuss the consequences for user privacy and security. This technique can be used to enhance state-of-the-art session management (with or without SSL), as it can make session hijacking considerably more difficult. 1 Introduction Today, the Web browser is a central component of almost every operating sys- tem.

Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Hagg Lobland, Haley E. Definition of brittleness: Connections between mechanical and tribological properties of polymers. Doctor of Philosophy (Materials Science and Engineering), August 2008, 51 pages, 5 tables, 13 illustrations, 106 references. The increasing use of polymer-based materials (PBMs) across all types of industry has not been matched by sufficient improvements in understanding of polymer tribology: friction, wear, and lubrication. Further, viscoelasticity of PBMs complicates characterization of their behavior. Using data from micro-scratch testing, it was determined that viscoelastic recovery (healing) in sliding wear is independent of the indenter force within a defined range of load values. Strain hardening in sliding wear was observed for all materials—including polymers and composites with a wide variety of chemical structures—with the exception of polystyrene (PS). The healing in sliding wear was connected to free volume in polymers by using pressure- volume-temperature (P-V-T) results and the Hartmann equation of state. A linear relationship was found for all polymers studied with again the exception of PS. The exceptional behavior of PS has been attributed qualitatively to brittleness.

  • New Model of Brittleness Index to Locate the Sweet Spots for Hydraulic Fracturing in Unconventional Reservoirs

All rights reserved. www.arpnjournals.com NEW MODEL OF BRITTLENESS INDEX TO LOCATE THE SWEET SPOTS FOR HYDRAULIC FRACTURING IN UNCONVENTIONAL RESERVOIRS Omer Iqbal1, Maqsood Ahmad1 and Eswaran Padmanabhan2 1Department of Petroleum Engineering, Institute of Hydrocarbon recovery (IHR), Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia 2Department of Petroleum Geoscience, Institute of Hydrocarbon recovery (IHR), Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia E-Mail: maqsood.ahmad@utp.edu.my ABSTRACT Rock characterization in term of brittleness is necessary for successful stimulation of shale gas reservoirs. High brittleness is required to prevent healing of natural and induced hydraulic fractures and also to decrease the breakdown pressure for fracture initiation and propagation. Several definitions of brittleness and methods for its estimation has been reviewed in this study in order to come up with most applicable and promising conclusion. The brittleness in term of brittleness index (BI) can be quantified from laboratory on core samples, geophysical methods and from well logs. There are many limitations in lab-based estimation of BI on core samples but still consider benchmark for calibration with other methods. The estimation of brittleness from mineralogy and dynamic elastic parameters like Young’s modulus, Poison’s ratio is common in field application. The new model of brittleness index is proposed based on mineral contents and geomechanical properties, which could be used to classify rock into brittle and ductile layers. The importance of mechanical behavior in term of brittle and ductile in shale gas fracturing were also reviewed because shale with high brittleness index (BI) or brittle shale exist natural fractures that are closed before stimulation and can provide fracture network or avenues through stimulation.

  • Cohesive Crack with Rate-Dependent Opening and Viscoelasticity: I
    International Journal of Fracture 86: 247±265, 1997. c 1997 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. Cohesive crack with rate-dependent opening and viscoelasticity: I. mathematical model and scaling ZDENEKÏ P. BAZANTÏ and YUAN-NENG LI Department of Civil Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60208, USA Received 14 October 1996; accepted in revised form 18 August 1997 Abstract. The time dependence of fracture has two sources: (1) the viscoelasticity of material behavior in the bulk of the structure, and (2) the rate process of the breakage of bonds in the fracture process zone which causes the softening law for the crack opening to be rate-dependent. The objective of this study is to clarify the differences between these two in¯uences and their role in the size effect on the nominal strength of stucture. Previously developed theories of time-dependent cohesive crack growth in a viscoelastic material with or without aging are extended to a general compliance formulation of the cohesive crack model applicable to structures such as concrete structures, in which the fracture process zone (cohesive zone) is large, i.e., cannot be neglected in comparison to the structure dimensions. To deal with a large process zone interacting with the structure boundaries, a boundary integral formulation of the cohesive crack model in terms of the compliance functions for loads applied anywhere on the crack surfaces is introduced. Since an unopened cohesive crack (crack of zero width) transmits stresses and is equivalent to no crack at all, it is assumed that at the outset there exists such a crack, extending along the entire future crack path (which must be known).

El primer navegador, desarrollado en el CERN a finales de 1990 y principios de 1991 por Tim Berners-Lee, era bastante sofisticado y gráfico, pero sólo funcionaba en estaciones NeXT. El navegador Mosaic, que funcionaba inicialmente en entornos UNIX sobre X11, fue el primero que se extendió debido a que pronto el NCSA preparó versiones para Windows y Macintosh. Sin embargo, poco más tarde entró en el mercado Netscape Navigator que rápidamente superó en capacidades y velocidad a Mosaic. Este navegador tiene la ventaja de funcionar en casi todos los UNIX, así como en entornos Windows. Internet Explorer (anteriormente Spyglass Mosaic) fue la apuesta tardía de Microsoft para entrar en el mercado y hoy en día ha conseguido desbancar al Netscape Navigator entre los usuarios de Windows. En los últimos años se ha vivido una auténtica explosión del número de navegadores, que ofrecen cada vez mayor integración con el entorno de ventanas en el que se ejecutan, igualmente este fue favorecido porque venía con el paquete de software de Windows y a su vez es el sistema operativo mas usado del mundo con alrededor del 95%. Netscape Communications Corporation liberó el código fuente de su navegador, naciendo así el proyecto Mozilla. Finalmente Mozilla Firefox fue reescrito desde cero tras decidirse a desarrollar y usar como base un nuevo conjunto de widgets multiplataforma basado en XML llamado XUL y esto hizo que tardara bastante más en aparecer de lo previsto inicialmente, apareciendo una versión 1.0 de gran calidad y para muchísimas plataformas a la vez el 5 de junio del 2002.

  • HARDNESS, Toeghness and BRITTLENESS. FI . I
    HARDNESS, TOeGHNESS AND BRITTLENESS. H ardness.-The hardness of a material is difficult to define in an exact manner; we may compare the r esistance of a piece of metal to the penetration of a puncn of definite shape under a gradually-applied load, and note t he volume of the material displaced; or we may substitute a specifie impact for the load or pressure applied gradually. Again we may compare the resistances to secratching or scoring with a conical diamond point, by determining the load necessary to produce a scratch of a definite width in accord­ ance with the method proposed by Martens. The tensile strength, ductility, the plastic yielding as shown in torsion and bending tests are all more or less measures of hard ~ ness. While none of these methods furnish an absolute measure of hardness, they all can be used to give a measure of hardness relative to the method of test adopted.

  • The Artist's Emergent Journey the Metaphysics of Henri Bergson, and Also Those by Eric Voegelin Against Gnosticism2
    Vol 1 No 2 (Autumn 2020) Online: jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/nexj Visit our WebBlog: newexplorations.net The Artist’s Emergent Journey Clinton Ignatov—The McLuhan Institute—clinton@concernednetizen.com To examine computers as a medium in the style of Marshall McLuhan, we must understand the origins of his own perceptions on the nature of media and his deep-seated religious impetus for their development. First we will uncover McLuhan’s reasoning in his description of the artist and the occult origins of his categories of hot and cool media. This will prepare us to recognize these categories when they are reformulated by cyberneticist Norbert Wiener and ethnographer Sherry Turkle. Then, as we consider the roles “black boxes” play in contemporary art and theory, many ways of bringing McLuhan’s insights on space perception and the role of the artist up to date for the work of defining and explaining cyberspace will be demonstrated. Through this work the paradoxical morality of McLuhan’s decision to not make moral value judgments will have been made clear. Introduction In order to bring Marshall McLuhan into the 21st century it is insufficient to retrieve his public persona. This particular character, performed in the ‘60s and ‘70s on the global theater’s world stage, was tailored to the audiences of its time. For our purposes today, we’ve no option but an audacious attempt to retrieve, as best we can, the whole man. To these ends, while examining the media of our time, we will strive to delicately reconstruct the human-scale McLuhan from what has been left in both his public and private written corpus.
