Besides large-scale space missions, the spread of CubeSats for a variety of applications is increasingly requiring the development of systematic approaches for risk management.Being these applications are based on components with low TRL (Technology Readiness Level) or with limited performance data, it is required to define approaches which ensure

A novel linearizing alternating direction augmented Lagrangian approach is proposed for effectively solving semidefinite programs (SDP).For every iteration, by fixing the other variables, Ointments the proposed approach alternatively optimizes the dual variables and the dual slack variables; then the primal variables, that is, Lagrange multipliers,

Static analysis is often impeded by malware obfuscation techniques, such as encryption and packing, whereas dynamic analysis tends to be more resistant to obfuscation by leveraging concrete execution information.Unfortunately, malware can employ evasive techniques to detect the analysis environment and alter its behavior accordingly.While known eva

There is general agreement that styles of leadership evolved from mammalian group living strategies that form social ranks.In both non-human primates and humans, different styles of hierarchical dominant-subordinate and leader-follower behavior can be observed.These can be described in terms of dimensions of antisocial (relatively self-focused, agg
