Bi-Directional Transformers Vs. Word2vec: Discovering Vulnerabilities In Lifted Compiled Code, Gary Mccully, John Hastings, Shengjie Xu, Adam Fortier

Research & Publications

Detecting vulnerabilities within compiled binaries is challenging due to lost high-level code structures and other factors such as architectural dependencies, compilers, and optimization options. To address these obstacles, this research explores vulnerability detection using natural language processing (NLP) embedding techniques with word2vec, BERT, and RoBERTa to learn semantics from intermediate representation (LLVM IR) code. Long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks were trained on embeddings from encoders created using approximately 48k LLVM functions from the Juliet dataset. This study is pioneering in its comparison of word2vec models with multiple bidirectional transformers (BERT, RoBERTa) embeddings built using LLVM code to train neural …

Closest To The Harm, Closest To The Solution: Indigenous Resistance To Colonial Capitalism Through Female Leadership In Financial Inclusion, Grace Evans

Washington Semester Program

Channeling the strength of the culture, identity, and people who came before them, Indigenous women are countering the racism and sexism inherent in ongoing colonialism through their return to leadership. When it comes to caring for their communities, Native women are dedicated, determined change-makers. This devotion, grounded in the cultural centrality of Indigenous women, has remained strong throughout the tribulations of relatively recent history, marked by atrocities such as invasion, assimilation, and attempted genocide. Colonization is an institution of violence. The United States, in creation and evolution, has been no exception. Particularly targeted through this process have been the bodies, …

Jurnal Inovasi Pendidikan IPA

Learning motivation is important to support successful learning. This article discusses the analysis of high school learning motivation and the development of a learning motivation assessment instrument. This is due to the lack of instrument development based on case studies. It used a case study-based instrument developed with the 4D model. The study results show that the developed learning motivation assessment instrument is valid and reliable. Through this instrument, students' motivation to learn physics can be classified into low, medium, and high. Through analysis, the treatment of each group can be seen so that learning motivation can increase. At the …

Predictable Differences In Surface Soil Organic Carbon Storage Across Landcover Types Around Ísafjörður, Iceland, Tess Mooney

Iceland: Climate Change and The Arctic

It is unclear how soil carbon varies by landcover type in areas with discontinuous and heterogenous vegetation cover in the Icelandic subarctic. Understanding which landcover types store the most C is important for understanding regional surface C inventory and for making decisions about optimal land use for C sequestration and storage. This study investigates the differences in soil C storage between different vegetation cover types in the Westfjords of northwestern Iceland. The three dominant landcover types in the Westfjords include heathlands, wetlands, and unvegetated areas. When compared across these three landcover types, surface soil C, bulk density, and soil moisture …

Immigrant Integration In Akureyri, Iceland: Identifying Ways To Cultivate A ‘Sense Of Belonging,’ From The Perspective Of Foreigners, Eliana Goldstein

Iceland: Climate Change and The Arctic

Iceland has experienced significant demographic changes since the 1990s. As climate change intensifies, raising the global temperature, migration to cooler climates such as Iceland will increase. To minimize ‘othering’ and rhetoric conducive to anti-immigrant environments, Iceland must work on integration issues, especially while opportunities and perceptions of other groups are still manageable. Through a series of interviews and discussions with foreigners in Akureyri and a focus group with employees from the University Centre of the Westfjords, integration was defined as a ‘sense of belonging’ and the ability to communicate with the native majority. To aid integration, this study identified a …

Assessing Geospatial Modeling In Determining Optimal Afforestation Locations For Carbon Sequestration In The Isafjord Region, Kyle Pellerin

Iceland: Climate Change and The Arctic

Iceland was once a country with large forests that covered over a third of the island's total landmass. Over the course of the past thousand years of settlement, the percentage of the country covered in forest dwindled, at some points dropping to less than one percent. Based on this deforestation history, and the potential of reforesting the land to help reduce the impact of carbon emissions, afforestation efforts in Iceland have been underway for the better half of a century. Despite the many years of effort, a lack of data and mapping exists on ideal planting locations, and the factors …

Estimating “Peak Water” Runoff And Power Production For Hydropower-Relevant Icelandic Glaciers Under Future Climate Scenarios, Anna Geldert

Iceland: Climate Change and The Arctic

Glaciers are important water resources in Iceland, in part because glacial runoff powers the country’s largest hydropower stations, which produce a large portion of the nation’s electricity. However, glaciers around Iceland are retreated at unprecedented rates due to climate change and are projected to continue to do so over the course of the 21st century. Glacial retreat plays a complex role in the water cycle, most often following a “peak water” curve marked by initial increases in total annual runoff as melt accelerates followed by eventual declines as the glacier continues to shrink. This holds important implications for the hydropower …

Thyrotoxicosis is a systemic condition caused by the effects of elevated levels of thyroid hormones. The cardiovascular manifestations of thyrotoxicosis range from sinus tachycardia and atrial fibrillation to heart failure. The incidence of malignant arrhythmias and cardiac arrest associated with thyrotoxicosis is not well known, and much of the current literature regarding this is limited to case reports. This study conducts a systematic review of the literature to identify patient demographics and outcomes where thyrotoxicosis manifests as cardiac arrest.
