Mark McKay''s Life seemed unremarkable. That was until he hit his teenage years. At fourteen years old his massive penis plunged scrotum deep into its first sexual encounter. He didn''t ask for that to happen, the girl next door, Molly Summers insisted on it. What boy at his age would say no? Little did he know this would trigger a curse bestowed on his family in the late Middle Ages. The raw ecstasy he experienced and flood of emotions it brought, would lay the foundation for an unquenchable lust for sex. This thirst for instant gratification grew when he met a woman. Mrs. Case his art teacher decided to take him under her wing, and teach Mark many aspects of BDSM. When she had her fill of him, she cut off all ties. Left alone with a vivid imagination and a twisted lust for pleasure and pain and urged on by a voice that only he could hear, his frustrations turned to rage. Driven over the edge by his maddening lust and dissatisfaction, he loses all traces of morality. His demented psyche then compels him to enact unimaginable and heinous sex acts. Investigator John Martinez is then left to piece together the gruesome murders. Will Martinez uncover this mystery before the next victim has been chosen?

These proceedings represent the work of contributors to the 17th International Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security (ICCWS 2022), hosted State University of New York at Albany, USA on 17-18 March 2022. The Conference Chair is Dean Robert P. Griffin, College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security, and Cyber Security (CEHC), and the Program Co-Chairs are Dr. Unal Tatar, from University at Albany and Dr. Benjamin Yankson, from College of Emergency Preparedness Homeland Security and Cybersecurity ICCWS is a well-established event on the academic research calendar and now in its 17th year, the key aim remains the opportunity for participants to share ideas and meet the people who hold them. The scope of papers will ensure an interesting two days. The subjects covered illustrate the wide range of topics that fall into this important and ever-growing area of research. The opening keynote presentation is given by Heather Hage, Griffiss Institute (GI), USA. There will be an address later in the morning by Tony Sager, Senior Vice President & Chief Evangelist, Center for Internet Security, USA on the topic of Stranger in a Changed Land. The second day of the conference will open with an address by Col. Jeffrey Erickson, the director of the Army Cyber Institute. His talk is entitled Developing the Critical Capabilities Needed to Respond to Cyber Attacks on Modern Cities. With an initial submission of 120 abstracts, after the double blind, peer review process there are 52 Academic research papers, 7 PhD research papers, 10 Masters Research papers and 2 work-in-progress papers published in these Conference Proceedings. These papers represent research from Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Kosovo, Malaysia, Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Qatar, South Africa, Sweden, the UK and the USA

This Proceedings volume contains selected papers from two symposia which were held during the 29th International Geological Congress, Kyoto, Japan, 24 August--3 September, 1992. The first symposium --- ''''Reconstruction of the Paleo-Asian Ocean'''' --- contains 11 papers from a group of scientists working together in an international project of the same name. The goal of the project is to collect and evaluate petrologic and tectonic data within specific terranes so as to understand the geodynamic processes leading to the amalgamation of Asia. These papers represent vital geological discussions for interpreting the geodynamic maps being produced by the project. From the second symposium of this volume --- ''''Quaternary Environmental Change'''' --- 14 papers were selected. The wide range of topics can be divided as follows: Deep sea core analysis; Coral reef and nearshore environment; Paleoenvironmental analysis; Tephras, Loess and Pedology; River morphology and others.

Performance improvement in future microprocessors will rely more on the exploitation of parallelism than increases in clock frequency, leading to more multi-core and tiled processor architectures. Despite continuing research into parallelizing compilers, programming multiple instruction stream architectures remains difficult. This document describes C-Flow, a compiler system enabling statically-scheduled message passing between programs running on separate processors. When combined with statically-scheduled, low-latency networks like those in the MIT Raw processor, C-Flow provides the programmer with a simple but comprehensive messaging interface that can be used from high-level languages like C. The use of statically-scheduled messaging allows for fine-grained (single-word) messages that would be quite inefficient in the more traditional message passing systems used in cluster computers. Such fine-grained parallelism is possible because, as in systolic array machines, the network provides all of the necessary synchronization between tiles. On the Raw processor, C-Flow reduces development complexity by allowing the programmer to schedule static messages from a high-level language instead of using assembly code. C-Flow programs have been developed for arrays with 64 or more processor tiles and hve demonstrated performance within twenty percent of hand-optimized assembly.

While everyone is prone to memory errors, individuals with cognitive biases like negative attention bias may differ in their susceptibility to memory distortion. Negative attention bias, which is frequently comorbid with depressive symptoms, has been associated with increased false memory for negative stimuli. Across two experiments, we used lists of orthographically associated words to analyze responses to novel emotional stimuli between individuals with depressive symptoms and healthy controls. In Experiment 1, participants encoded neutral words that were orthographically associated with neutral, negative, or positive critical lures. Then, they completed a recognition memory test on the words shown during encoding (old items) and the critical lures (novel items). We did not find differences in false alarms to novel stimuli between groups. However, we did find significant differences in response times to correct rejections of novel stimuli and greater false alarm confidence in the depressive symptom group. In Experiment 2, we used electroencephalography to further investigate the mechanisms through which each group may complete this task. Using only lists associated with negative and neutral critical lures, the depressive symptom group showed greater hit and false alarm rates, and quicker overall response times than controls. The EEG results suggested that the behavioral differences might arise from separate memory retrieval strategies, with the depressive group utilizing an earlier, familiarity-based retrieval strategy and the control group utilizing a later, recollection-based retrieval strategy. These experiments are an important first step in understanding mechanisms underlying the relationship between depressive symptoms and emotional stimuli on memory distortion.
