Abstract

Given a boolean formula $\Phi$(X, Y, Z), the Max\#SAT problem asks for finding a partial model on the set of variables X, maximizing its number of projected models over the set of variables Y. We investigate a strict generalization of Max\#SAT allowing dependencies for variables in X, effectively turning it into a synthesis problem. We show that this new problem, called DQMax\#SAT, subsumes both the DQBF and DSSAT problems. We provide a general resolution method, based on a reduction to Max\#SAT, together with two improvements for dealing with its inherent complexity. We further discuss a concrete application of DQMax\#SAT for symbolic synthesis of adaptive attackers in the field of program security. Finally, we report preliminary results obtained on the resolution of benchmark problems using a prototype DQMax\#SAT solver implementation.

3. BAXMC: a CEGAR approach to Max#SAT

Author

Subjects

Abstract

Max#SAT is an important problem with multiple applications in security and program synthesis that is proven hard to solve. It is defined as: given a parameterized quantifier-free propositional formula compute parameters such that the number of models of the formula is maximal. As an extension, the formula can include an existential prefix. We propose a CEGAR-based algorithm and refinements thereof, based on either exact or approximate model counting, and prove its correctness in both cases. Our experiments show that this algorithm has much better effective complexity than the state of the art., Comment: FMCAD 2022, Oct 2022, Trente, Italy

6. Output-sensitive Information flow analysis

Abstract

Constant-time programming is a countermeasure to prevent cache based attacks where programs should not perform memory accesses that depend on secrets. In some cases this policy can be safely relaxed if one can prove that the program does not leak more information than the public outputs of the computation. We propose a novel approach for verifying constant-time programming based on a new information flow property, called output-sensitive noninterference. Noninterference states that a public observer cannot learn anything about the private data. Since real systems need to intentionally declassify some information, this property is too strong in practice. In order to take into account public outputs we proceed as follows: instead of using complex explicit declassification policies, we partition variables in three sets: input, output and leakage variables. Then, we propose a typing system to statically check that leakage variables do not leak more information about the secret inputs than the public normal output. The novelty of our approach is that we track the dependence of leakage variables with respect not only to the initial values of input variables (as in classical approaches for noninterference), but taking also into account the final values of output variables. We adapted this approach to LLVM IR and we developed a prototype to verify LLVM implementations.

Computer Science - Logic in Computer Science
Abstract

We report a four-years experiment in teaching reasoning to undergraduate students, ranging from weak to gifted, using Gentzen-Prawitz's style natural deduction. We argue that this pedagogical approach is a good alternative to the use of Boolean algebra for teaching reasoning, especially for computer scientists and formal methods practionners.

Abstract

Introduction. Distal Hypoperfusion Ischemic Syndrome (DHIS) is a multifactorial debilitating condition causing peripheral ischemia and potentially tissue necrosis. In an effort to further refine its surgical treatment we aim to describe a modified, simple and reliable technique for managing DHIS in patients with arteriovenous fistulas. Materials and Methods. Twenty-nine consecutive patients with DHIS operated by a single surgical team over a period of 7 years were included in the study. All patients underwent the same surgical technique: stenotic ligature. Outcomes were analyzed clinically and the effectiveness of the procedure was proven using McNemar test. Clinical variables were statistically analyzed in SPSS 17.0 for Windows. Results. The technique we used consists in performing a stenosing ligature on the vein, using a 0-silk suture, and adjusting the suture in order to achieve either a radial pulse or capillary pulse, while maintaining a good thrill at palpation of the vein. The procedure was successful in 83% of patients proved by immediate symptomatic relief. Paired data analysis showed significant decrease of all symptoms: cold extremity (p=0,021), paraesthesia (p

Abstract

Catalytic activity of TiO2, 2%Re–TiO2 and 10%Re–TiO2 in the conversion of carbohydrates into levulinic acid under autoclave conditions was evaluated. These materials were prepared by aerogel method, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, and characterized by XPS, SEM-EDX, DRIFTS, DR UV-vis, Raman, N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, TGA and XRD. Further, the surface acidity was probed by NH3-TPD and pyridine-FT-IR where it was observed that increasing the amount of rhenium doped into TiO2 led to an increase in the total number of acid sites (Lewis + Brønsted) but with an overall lower strength. The presence of both Brønsted and Lewis acid sites led to the hypothesis that these materials may be well suited for conversion of carbohydrates into levulinic acid. Indeed a levulinic acid yield of 57% was reached over 10%Re–TiO2 for a low mass ratio catalyst to glucose (1 : 5). Moreover, the 10%Re–TiO2 catalyst was reused in the conversion of glucose for four catalytic cycles without a significant loss of the catalytic activity.

Paired data analysis showed significant decrease of all symptoms: cold extremity (p=0,021), paraesthesia (p less 0,001), pain (p less 0,001). History of coronary artery disease, arteriopathy or the absence of radial pulse is statistically correlated with an increased risk of developing DHIS. Conclusions. Stenotic ligature is a simple, cheap and reliable technique for managing DHIS with lower septic risks which can be easily performed under local anesthesia.

Abstract

chronic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) seems to be a "rediscovered" pathology nowadays, brought into spotlight by its strong correlation with other signifi cant cardiovascular disorders.to sustain a real benefi t from treatment with i.v. prostaglandins (PG) in PAD patients and to directly compare the currently used PG: alprostadil and iloprost.open, non-randomized cohort study, with placebo group ("classical therapy") reviewing 615 PAD patients with therapeutic approach during 2003-2012 period, divided in 3 subgroups: "classical" therapy; "classical" therapy + iloprost; "classical" therapy + alprostadil; patients with Burger's disease were excluded; multiple factor analysis with statistical results inserted.clear domination of male gender patients, with older female gender patients (p.0.001); smoking like major risk factor in male and in all patients (p0.0001); 124 patients underwent angiography .a real improvement in the clinical status of patients receiving i.v. prostaglandin therapy with no diff erences between genders, diabetic and non-diabetic patients; alprostadil seems better than iloprost.
