Predicting Common Web Application Vulnerabilities From Input Validation And Sanitization Code Patterns, Lwin Khin Shar, Hee Beng Kuan Tan Sep 2012

Predicting Common Web Application Vulnerabilities From Input Validation And Sanitization Code Patterns, Lwin Khin Shar, Hee Beng Kuan Tan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Software defect prediction studies have shown that defect predictors built from static code attributes are useful and effective. On the other hand, to mitigate the threats posed by common web application vulnerabilities, many vulnerability detection approaches have been proposed. However, finding alternative solutions to address these risks remains an important research problem. As web applications generally adopt input validation and sanitization routines to prevent web security risks, in this paper, we propose a set of static code attributes that represent the characteristics of these routines for predicting the two most common web application vulnerabilities—SQL injection and cross site scripting. In …

Mentoring As A Career Strategy For Mid-Level Public Library Managers: A Selective Review Of Literature Involving Methodology And Cross-Disciplines, Janine Golden Sep 2012

Mentoring As A Career Strategy For Mid-Level Public Library Managers: A Selective Review Of Literature Involving Methodology And Cross-Disciplines, Janine Golden

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Management career development is of significant importance in public libraries. How this is achieved for the middle-level manager is one of many debated topics by library administrators. Currently, leadership and management workshops, seminars, and institutes are some techniques provided by the library organization and are being used to assist with the manager’s organizational learning processes. Today, at the forefront of organizational initiatives is mentorship which has resurged as a leading employee development tool. This review of the literature highlights historical and current resources that focus on the process of mentorship as another strategy for the career development of library managers.

Human Cytomegalovirus Induces Tlr4 Signaling Components In Monocytes Altering Tirap, Tram And Downstream Interferon-Beta And Tnf-Alpha Expression, Kok-Hooi Yew, Cory Carpenter, R. Scott Duncan, Christopher J. Harrison Sep 2012

Human Cytomegalovirus Induces Tlr4 Signaling Components In Monocytes Altering Tirap, Tram And Downstream Interferon-Beta And Tnf-Alpha Expression, Kok-Hooi Yew, Cory Carpenter, R. Scott Duncan, Christopher J. Harrison

Student Publications

Using TLR pathways, primary human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) induces innate responses including the production of inflammatory cytokines. Mounting evidence suggests that LPS recognition by TLR4/MD2/CD14 results in differential utilization of TIRAP-TRAF6 and TRAM-TRIF signaling, thereby leading to transcriptional activation of various cytokine genes. However, relative roles of the TLR4/MD2/CD14 complex and its adaptor proteins TIRAP and TRAM involved in regulating monocyte responses to HCMV are incomplete. Here, we provided evidence supporting the notion that the TLR4/MD2/CD14 complex contributes notably to HCMV-induced signaling and subsequent cytokine production in monocytes. In particular, induction of both IL-6 and IL-8 is associated with elevated TIRAP …


Chemical Interactions In Complex Matrices: Determination Of Polar Impurities In Biofuels And Fuel Contaminants In Building Materials, Ganna Baglayeva Sep 2012

Chemical Interactions In Complex Matrices: Determination Of Polar Impurities In Biofuels And Fuel Contaminants In Building Materials, Ganna Baglayeva

Theses and Dissertations

The solutions to several real-life analytical and physical chemistry problems, which involve chemical interactions in complex matrices are presented. The possible interferences due to the analyte-analyte and analyte-matrix chemical interactions were minimized on each step of the performed chemical analysis. Concrete and wood, as major construction materials, typically become contaminated with fuel oil hydrocarbons during their spillage. In the catastrophic scenarios (e.g., during floods), fuel oil mixes with water and then becomes entrained within the porous structure of wood or concrete. A strategy was proposed for the efficient extraction of fuel oil hydrocarbons from concrete to enable their monitoring. The …


Synthesis Of Bidentate Ligands Using Cyclopalladated Complexes, Valeria A. Stepanova Sep 2012

Synthesis Of Bidentate Ligands Using Cyclopalladated Complexes, Valeria A. Stepanova

Theses and Dissertations

Aminophosphines, diphosphines and related chelating P-containing bidentate ligands, due to their versatile structural features, are considered promising enantioselective catalyst alternatives to symmetric and monodentate phosphine ligands. There are several methods for preparation of such P,N-ligands; however, they are mostly limited to specific cases. In this dissertation, the development of a new general method for synthesis of P-containing bidentate ligands is described. The approach studied is based on using reactions of cyclopalladated complexes (CPCs) with LiPPh2, KPPh2 and HPPh2. This study is the first example of a systematic investigation of reactions of CPCs at a C–Pd bond with phosphorus nucleophiles. A …


Life Cycle And Radiative Impact Of Mid-Latitude Deep Convective Systems, Zhe Feng Sep 2012

Life Cycle And Radiative Impact Of Mid-Latitude Deep Convective Systems, Zhe Feng

Theses and Dissertations

Deep Convective Systems (DCSs) have profound impacts on the hydrologic cycle and atmospheric radiation budget. The former is a result of the heavy precipitation from the convective cores (CC) and widespread rainfall in the stratiform rain (SR) regions, and the latter is due to the extensive spatial coverage of the non-precipitating anvil clouds (AC). Yet the relationship between these components has not been well understood, leading to large uncertainties for models across all scales in the simulated DCS structures and their associated impacts. To improve the understanding of the connections between DCS components, multi-platform remote sensing datasets are used to …


Older Adult Perceptions Of Physical Activity, Selinda Janssen Sep 2012

Older Adult Perceptions Of Physical Activity, Selinda Janssen

Theses and Dissertations

Physical activity (PA) decreases the risk of age-associated illness and functional impairments; however, older adults engage in PA at a lower rate than any other age group (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2006). The purpose of this study is to determine how PA becomes sustainable in older adults over the age of 65 in order to guide effective wellness programming. This Will help older adults age in place rather than having to move into institutions due to illness or functional impairments. This is a phenomenological study that includes interviews and observations of 15 community dwelling older adults. In the …


Attitudes Toward Singlehood And Life Role Preferences Among Heterosexual And Gay And Lesbian Adults, Lisa A. Peterson Sep 2012

Attitudes Toward Singlehood And Life Role Preferences Among Heterosexual And Gay And Lesbian Adults, Lisa A. Peterson

Theses and Dissertations

Adults who remain single after the age society deems appropriate have faced considerable social stigma and discrimination throughout history and negative attitudes toward singles appear to persist. Research examining the experiences of single adults has been limited, focusing on the reflections of older singles, and largely heterosexual samples. To this end, the current study Will examine attitudes toward singlehood among heterosexual men and women and gay men and lesbian women within the context of participants' life role preferences for career choices and parenting. Results indicate women endorse more positive attitudes toward current singlehood, the possibility of future singlehood, and single …


An X-Ray Absorption Study Of The Atomic Structure Of Novel Vitreous Rare-Earth Phosphates, Aranwela Hemantha Sep 2012

An X-Ray Absorption Study Of The Atomic Structure Of Novel Vitreous Rare-Earth Phosphates, Aranwela Hemantha

Theses and Dissertations

The atomic-scale structure of four series of binary rare earth phosphate glasses of composition (R2O3)x (P2O5)1-x, where R = Nd, Pr, Eu, and Sm were investigated. Compositions of praseodymium phosphate glasses ranged from polyphosphate to ultraphosphate (0.108 < x < 0.295), while neodymium phosphate compositions varied from metaphosphate to ultraphosphate (0.204 < x < 0.255). Samarium phosphates and the two europium phosphate glasses investigated were ultraphosphates with very low rare earth contents (x < 0.15). The R3+ local environment of these glasses was investigated using extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. A series of neodymium borate glasses with the general formula (Nd2O 3)x(B2O3)1-x (0.01 < x < 0.35) was also analyzed. For both neodymium and praseodymium phosphate glasses the nearest neighbor oxygen coordination decreases with increasing rare earth concentrations. For the first oxygen shell the R-O distance ranged between 2.38-2.40 Å and 2.39-2.46 Å for neodymium and praseodymium glasses, respectively. The second coordination shell consisted of phosphorus atoms, with R-P distance about 3.4-3.5 Å and coordination numbers (CN) ranged from 1.5 to 3. There was an oxygen shell (a second oxygen shell) at R-O distance 4.1 Å for both series. In this composition range, there is no direct evidence of short R-R distances by clustering of rare earth atoms. But first shell R-O CN's obtained suggest sharing of some of the oxygens by two rare-earth ions when the composition x is greater (approximately) than 0.17. Samarium ultraphosphates and europium ultraphosphates (x < 0.15) had first shell R-O distances between 2.38 Å and 2.43 Å. R-P and second R-O shell positions were approximately at 3.7-3.8 Å and at 4.5-4.65 Å respectively. There is no evidence of rare earth clustering in these samples with low rare earth concentrations. First R-O shell CN and the bond distance decreases with the increasing RE concentration for neodymium borate glasses following the same trend as in phosphate glasses. R-B coordination is much higher than the R-P CN's obtained for phosphates.


Keratin 6 As A Potential Biomarker Of Bladder Cancer Induced By Heavy Metals, Arsenic And Cadmium, Ling Cao Sep 2012

Keratin 6 As A Potential Biomarker Of Bladder Cancer Induced By Heavy Metals, Arsenic And Cadmium, Ling Cao

Theses and Dissertations

Arsenic and cadmium (Cd2+) are environmental carcinogens that have been implicated in the development of bladder cancer. However, there are no good in vitro model systems to study the development of bladder cancer caused by these carcinogens. Previous studies from this laboratory have shown that arsenite (As3+) and Cd2+ exposure can cause direct malignant transformation of an immortalized human urothelial cell line, the UROtsa. In the present study the repeatability of the transformation process was examined by isolating and characterizing 6 additional Cd2+- transformed lines and 5 additional As3+- transformed cell lines. All the transformed cell lines formed tumors when …


Virtual And Traditional Slides For Teaching Cellular Morphology To Medical Laboratory Science Undergraduates: A Comparative Study Of Performance Outcomes, Retention, And Self-Efficacy Beliefs, Brooke L. Solberg Sep 2012

Virtual And Traditional Slides For Teaching Cellular Morphology To Medical Laboratory Science Undergraduates: A Comparative Study Of Performance Outcomes, Retention, And Self-Efficacy Beliefs, Brooke L. Solberg

Theses and Dissertations

As a result of massive retirement and educational program expense and closure, the field of Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) is facing a critical workforce shortage. Combatting this issue by increasing undergraduate class size is a difficult proposition due to the intense psychomotor curricular requirements of MLS programs. Technological advances in the realm of virtual microscopy, however, provide an opportunity to reach more students by delivering psychomotor components in less restrictive formats. The purpose of this study was to analyze pedagogical comparability of virtual slides and traditional slides regarding immediate and delayed performance, self-efficacy perceptions, student opinion, and faculty observations. Specifically, …


Leptin Expression And Signaling At The Confluence Of Neurodegenerative Mechanisms In Alzheimer Disease, Gurdeep Singh Atamjit Marwarha Sep 2012

Leptin Expression And Signaling At The Confluence Of Neurodegenerative Mechanisms In Alzheimer Disease, Gurdeep Singh Atamjit Marwarha

Theses and Dissertations

Alzheimer Disease (AD) is a progressive, debilitating and the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder affecting 5.5 million people and the sixth leading cause of fatality in the United States. The etiology of AD is not understood and clinically FDA-approved drugs offer only symptomatic relief for a short period of time and in only a subset of AD patients. AD is histopathologically characterized by the presence of extracellular deposits of aggregated Amyloid β (Aβ) peptide as plaques and the intracellular deposition of aggregated hyperphosphorylated tau protein as neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). Leptin, an adipocytokine, has been demonstrated to reduce the genesis of Aβ, …


Theoretical Development And Application Of Gvvpt2 Gradients And Nonadiabatic Coupling Terms, Daniel P. Theis Sep 2012

Theoretical Development And Application Of Gvvpt2 Gradients And Nonadiabatic Coupling Terms, Daniel P. Theis

Theses and Dissertations

Using a Lagrangian based approach, mathematical expressions were derived that analytically determine electric dipole moments, nuclear gradients, and nonadiabatic coupling coefficients for electronic states at the second-order generalized Van Vleck perturbation theory (GVVPT2) and the multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) levels of theory. The equations were expressed in a manner that ensures the slowest portions of the computer code are independent of the nuclear degrees of freedom that differentiate the energies and wavefunctions. The codes were implemented using a configuration-driven unitary group approach (UGA). Under this approach the efficient UGA method of evaluating configuration state function (CSF) matrix elements is recast …
