Abstract: A system and method of obtaining and utilizing an activity signature that is representative of a specific category of network activities based on directory service (DS) log data. The activity signature may be determining by a learning process, including segmenting and pruning a training dataset into a plurality of event segments and matching them with activities based on DS log data of known activities. Once obtained, the activity signature can advantageously be utilized to analyze any DS log data and activities in actual deployment. Using activity signatures to analyze DS event log can reveal roles of event-collection machines, aggregate information dispersed across their component events to reveal actors involved in particular AD activities, augment visibility of DS by enabling various vantage points to better infer activities at other domain machines, and reveal macro activities so that logged information becomes easily interpretable to human analysts.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a geosynthetic element for a geotechnical engineering application. The geosynthetic element comprises: bacteria carriers for carrying bacteria arranged to be propagated from the geosynthetic element to a surrounding geomaterial; and a flow network comprising openings on its surface to allow a reactant to escape the flow network to the surrounding geomaterial along the flow network to produce solid calcium carbonate when in contact with the bacteria. The reactant flow network further comprises a set of inlets for feeding the reactant into the flow network, and a set of outlets for recovering at least a part of the reactant from the reactant flow network.
