Heart-nosed bat alphacoronaviruses use human CEACAM6 to enter cells
Abstract Identifying viruses with zoonotic potential on the basis of their ability to enter human cells is a critical component of pandemic prediction, prevention and preparedness. Here using a computational approach that retains maximum phylogenetic diversity, we selected an optimal subset of alphacoronavirus spike proteins to screen against broad coronavirus receptor libraries. Most of the selected spike proteins did not use any of the established coronavirus receptors.

Qu'est-ce que le secret persistant parfait (PFS) ?
Le secret persistant parfait (PFS), également appelé confidentialité vers l'avant, est un type de chiffrement connu pour produire des échanges de clés privées temporaires entre les clients et les serveurs. Pour chaque session individuelle initiée par un utilisateur, une clé de session unique est générée. Si le certificat d'identification ou l'une de ces clés de session est compromis, les données de toute autre session ne seront pas affectées.
Qu'est-ce qu'une attaque par canal auxiliaire ?
Une attaque par canal auxiliaire (side-channel) est une faille de cybersécurité qui vise à recueillir des informations ou à influencer l'exécution d'un programme sur un système. Elle consiste à mesurer ou à exploiter les effets indirects du système ou de son matériel plutôt que de cibler directement le programme ou son code. Ces attaques visent généralement à exfiltrer des informations sensibles, notamment des clés cryptographiques, en mesurant les émissions accidentelles du matériel.
Qu'est-ce que l'erreur de prédiction ?
Une erreur de prédiction est l'incapacité d'un modèle de système à prévoir avec précision les résultats. Il s'agit de la différence entre la valeur prédite et la valeur mesurée. L'erreur absolue moyenne, l'erreur quadratique moyenne et l'erreur quadratique moyenne de prédiction font partie des méthodes utilisées pour calculer la précision du modèle prédictif.
Qu'est-ce que la reconnaissance des formes ?
Comment fonctionne la reconnaissance des formes ? Il existe une myriade de méthodes de reconnaissance des formes, mais elles peuvent être classées en deux grandes catégories : l'apprentissage supervisé et l'apprentissage non supervisé.

Northbound Interface und Southbound Interface
Die Bezeichnungen Northbound, Southbound oder East-West für Daten oder Datenverkehr beschreiben typischerweise, ob Daten in ein Netzwerk/Rechenzentrum hinein- oder aus ihm herausfließen (North-South) beziehungsweise lateral innerhalb der gleichen Domäne übertragen werden (East-West). Ein Befehl vom Controller an einen Netzwerkknoten wird über die Southbound-Schnittstelle übertragen; Telemetrie/Statusinformationen fließen northbound an Anwendungen zurück.
Virtuelle CPU (vCPU)
vCPUs sind in heutigen Cloud-Umgebungen nicht mehr starr an eine VM gebunden. Sie können dynamisch hinzugefügt oder entfernt werden, beispielsweise bei Autoscaling oder Live-Migrationen . Dadurch wird die Ressourcenverteilung flexibler und effizienter, insbesondere in elastischen Workloads. Als Faustregel entspricht eine vCPU in etwa einem logischen CPU-Thread. Der Hypervisor kann jedoch mehr vCPUs zuweisen, als physische Threads vorhanden sind (Überbelegung).
Uptime/Downtime (Betriebs- und Ausfallzeit)
Betriebszeit (Uptime) ist ein Begriff aus der Computerindustrie für die Zeit, während ein Computer in Betrieb ist. Ausfallzeit (Downtime) ist die Zeit, wenn dieser nicht betriebsbereit ist. Betriebszeit wird manchmal in Form eines Perzentils gemessen. Zum Beispiel wird als Ziel für einen Betriebszeitstandard, über den manchmal diskutiert wird, das sogenannte five 9s festgelegt. Das bedeutet, dass ein Computer 99,999 Prozent der Betriebszeit ohne Unterbrechung läuft und verfügbar ist.
What is perfect forward secrecy (PFS)?
By Gavin Wright Sarah Lewis Published: Jun 20, 2025 Perfect forward secrecy (PFS), also known as forward secrecy, is an encryption style known for producing temporary private key exchanges between clients and servers. For every individual session initiated by a user, a unique session key is generated. If the identifying certificate or one of these session keys is compromised, data from any other session will not be affected.
What is AI democratization?
AI democratization, or the democratization of AI, is the concept that the benefits and control of artificial intelligence should be fairly divided among all people. AI democratization efforts claim that the power of AI will transform many aspects of our daily lives and, if it is properly directed, these transformations can benefit the majority of people instead of only a select few. AI democratization is a new and changing area of discussion.

信頼していたWebサイトがまさかの感染源？ 「水飲み場型攻撃」の手口とは：警戒心を緩めた瞬間が危ない
水飲み場型攻撃の特徴は、標的のシステムではなく、標的がよく訪れるWebサイトが感染源になることだ。主な流れは以下の通り。 攻撃者はまず、標的が頻繁に閲覧する正規Webサイトを調べて特定する。 Webサイトの中でセキュリティが比較的緩いWebサイトが狙われる傾向がある。 攻撃者はWebサイトに侵入し、プログラミング言語「JavaScript」やハイパーテキストマークアップ言語「HTML」で不正コードを埋め込む。 不正コードは自動的に実行される他、攻撃者が偽の指示を出して標的に操作を促す場合もある。 標的が改ざんされたWebサイトを訪れると、不正コードが起動して標的の端末をマルウェアに感染させる。 攻撃者は標的の端末を踏み台にし、標的が所属する組織のシステムに入り込む。データ盗難などが目的だ。 水飲み場型攻撃と似ている手口 水飲み場型攻撃には、サイバー犯罪者が用いる他の手口と類似している点がある。 サプライチェーン攻撃 攻撃者が第三者のシステムを改ざんして他のシステムを感染させる点で共通している。 ハニーポット攻撃...

Deep learning insights into the architecture of the mammalian egg-sperm fusion synapse
Abstract A crucial event in sexual reproduction is when haploid sperm and egg fuse to form a new diploid organism at fertilization. In mammals, direct interaction between egg JUNO and sperm IZUMO1 mediates gamete membrane adhesion, yet their role in fusion remains enigmatic. We used AlphaFold to predict the structure of other extracellular proteins essential for fertilization to determine if they could form a complex that may mediate fusion.

What Is Port Address Translation (PAT)?
Port address translation (PAT) is a type of network address translation (NAT) that maps a network's private internal IPv4 addresses to a single public Internet Protocol address by using network ports. NAT is a process that routers use to translate internal, nonregistered IP addresses to external, registered IP addresses. PAT differs from other forms of NAT because it uses port numbers when mapping private IP addresses to a public IP address, which is the address seen by external systems.

Scott Sinclair Joins Aston Villa
Scott Sinclair Joins Aston Villa posted by Gavin Wright on Jan 30, 2015 After being labeled as one of England's brightest young talents following success at Wigan and West Bromwich Albion, Scott Sinclair has failed to break into the first team at Manchester City. Aston Villa have now offered the winger a lifeline, taking him to Villa Park on loan for the rest of the season. He should have a good shot at claiming a starting role, and was a fantasy gold-mine during his time with The Baggies.
Investigating potential confounding by indication when considering the association between proton pump inhibitor use, infection, hepatic encephalopathy and mortality in hospitalised decompensated cirrhosis: a post-hoc analysis of the ATTIRE trial
Summary Background Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly prescribed to prevent and treat upper gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding. Studies have identified increased incidence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in cirrhosis patients taking PPIs. However, results are conflicting, and as PPIs are prescribed for variceal bleeding, a major risk factor for infection and HE, it is challenging to discern whether these associations are causal.
