However, their widespread usage emphasizes the critical need to enhance their security posture to ensure the integrity and reliability of their outputs and minimize harmful effects. Prompt injections and training data poisoning attacks are two of the most prominent vulnerabilities in LLMs, which could potentially lead to unpredictable and undesirable behaviors, such as biased outputs, misinformation propagation, and even malicious content generation. The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) framework provides a standardized approach to capturing the principal characteristics of vulnerabilities, facilitating a deeper understanding of their severity within the security and AI communities. By extending the current CVSS framework, we generate scores for these vulnerabilities such that organizations can prioritize mitigation efforts, allocate resources effectively, and implement targeted security measures to defend against potential risks.展开更多

We construct adversarial prompts using strategies like role emulation and manipulative assistance to simulate real threats. We introduce a comprehensive, multi-tiered defense framework named GUARDIAN (Guardrails for Upholding Ethics in Language Models) comprising a system prompt filter, pre-processing filter leveraging a toxic classifier and ethical prompt generator, and pre-display filter using the model itself for output screening. Extensive testing on Meta’s Llama-2 model demonstrates the capability to block 100% of attack prompts. The approach also auto-suggests safer prompt alternatives, thereby bolstering language model security. Quantitatively evaluated defense layers and an ethical substitution mechanism represent key innovations to counter sophisticated attacks. The integrated methodology not only fortifies smaller LLMs against emerging cyber threats but also guides the broader application of LLMs in a secure and ethical manner.展开更多

Patients were followed during 1 mo. The incidence of adverse events(delayed bleeding or perforation) and the percentage of mucosal healing(MHR) after 4 wk were registered. RESULTS EMR was performed in 11 lesions(46.4 mm ± 4 mm, range 40-70 mm). Delayed bleeding or perforation was not observed in any patient. Mean ulcerated area atbaseline was 22.7 cm^2 ± 11.7 cm^2 whereas at week 4 were 2.9 cm^2 ± 1.5 cm^2. Patients treated with PRP showed a very high MHR after 4 wk(87.5%). CONCLUSION PRP is an easy-to-obtain solution with proven and favourable biological activities that could be used in advanced endoscopic resection.展开更多

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates air toxic emissions, including formaldehyde, from stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines. National air toxic standards are required under the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. This work investigates the effect that hardware modifications, or retrofit technologies, have on formaldehyde emissions from a large bore natural gas engine. The test engine is a Cooper-Bessemer GMV-4TF two stroke cycle engine with a 14” (35.6 cm) bore and a 14” (35.6 cm) stroke. The impact of modifications to the fuel injection and ignition systems are investigated. Data analysis and discussion is performed with reference to possible formaldehyde formation mechanisms and in-cylinder phenomena. The results show that high pressure fuel injection (HPFI) and precombustion chamber (PCC) ignition significantly reduce formaldehyde展开更多

Co-injection molding has been realized between met-als and ceramics on micro components,which become the first breakthrough within the PIM field. Combined with the prominent characteristics of high features/cost ratio,micro powder injection molding becomes a potential technique for large scale production of intricate and three-dimensional micro components or micro-structured components in microsystems technology (MST) field.展开更多
