Young Zeus
\"This is the story of how young Zeus, with a little help from six monsters, five gods, an enchanted she-goat (that's me), and his mother, became god of gods, master of lightning and thunder, and ruler over all\"--Provided by publisher.

Lightning in the Mediterranean and its relation with sea-surface temperature
Here we present the analysis of lightning activity over the Mediterranean, based on a 10 year long dataset (2005-2014) provided by the ZEUS long-range lightning detection system. The major hot-spots of lightning activity are identified, with a clear predominance during the warm period of the year over land in the vicinity of the major topographic features of the area. Special emphasis is also given on the discussion of the seasonal distribution of lightning. In addition, we investigate the relationship of lightning with sea-surface temperature, obtained by high-resolution satellite measurements and we conclude that the number of lightning strokes is positively correlated with the sea-surface temperature during autumn when also the maximum lightning activity over the sea is depicted. We suggest that higher sea surface temperature further destabilises the lower tropospheric layers, enhancing thus convection and therefore lightning.

Zeus's eagle
\"Demon's life on Mount Olympus has never been busier. Thanks to the awful heroes down on Earth, Demon has even more injured beasts to care for. And worse still, the goddess Psyche wants Demon to \"borrow\" Zeus's prized eagle for an urgent mission. But is her task worth the risk of offending the king of the gods?\"

Pandoraviruses: Amoeba Viruses with Genomes Up to 2.5 Mb Reaching That of Parasitic Eukaryotes
Ten years ago, the discovery of Mimivirus, a virus infecting Acanthamoeba, initiated a reappraisal of the upper limits of the viral world, both in terms of particle size (>0.7 micrometers) and genome complexity (>1000 genes), dimensions typical of parasitic bacteria. The diversity of these giant viruses (the Megaviridae) was assessed by sampling a variety of aquatic environments and their associated sediments worldwide. We report the isolation of two giant viruses, one off the coast of central Chile, the other from a freshwater pond near Melbourne (Australia), without morphological or genomic resemblance to any previously defined virus families. Their micrometer-sized ovoid particles contain DNA genomes of at least 2.5 and 1.9 megabases, respectively. These viruses are the first members of the proposed \"Pandoravirus\" genus, a term reflecting their lack of similarity with previously described microorganisms and the surprises expected from their future study

An Investigation to Detect Banking Malware Network Communication Traffic Using Machine Learning Techniques
Banking malware are malicious programs that attempt to steal confidential information, such as banking authentication credentials, from users. Zeus is one of the most widespread banking malware variants ever discovered. Since the Zeus source code was leaked, many other variants of Zeus have emerged, and tools such as anti-malware programs exist that can detect Zeus; however, these have limitations. Anti-malware programs need to be regularly updated to recognise Zeus, and the signatures or patterns can only be made available when the malware has been seen. This limits the capability of these anti-malware products because they are unable to detect unseen malware variants, and furthermore, malicious users are developing malware that seeks to evade signature-based anti-malware programs. In this paper, a methodology is proposed for detecting Zeus malware network traffic flows by using machine learning (ML) binary classification algorithms. This research explores and compares several ML algorithms to determine the algorithm best suited for this problem and then uses these algorithms to conduct further experiments to determine the minimum number of features that could be used for detecting the Zeus malware. This research also explores the suitability of these features when used to detect both older and newer versions of Zeus as well as when used to detect additional variants of the Zeus malware. This will help researchers understand which network flow features could be used for detecting Zeus and whether these features will work across multiple versions and variants of the Zeus malware.

Combination and QCD analysis of charm production cross section measurements in deep-inelastic ep scattering at HERA
Measurements of open charm production cross sections in deep-inelastic

. The combination method accounts for the correlations of the systematic uncertainties among the different data sets. The combined charm data together with the combined inclusive deep-inelastic scattering cross sections from HERA are used as input for a detailed NLO QCD analysis to study the influence of different heavy flavour schemes on the parton distribution functions. The optimal values of the charm mass as a parameter in these different schemes are obtained. The implications on the NLO predictions for

production cross sections at the LHC are investigated. Using the fixed flavour number scheme, the running mass of the charm quark is determined.

The Contradiction of the 'Hymn to Zeus' in Nemean 3
This article examines the opening lines of Pindar's Nemean 3, which present an interesting problem from the perspective of genre. Pindar characterizes the poem in question as a ὕμνος (11) to Zeus, contradicting the position that the singular purpose of epinician is the glorification of the victor. According to this view, it is impossible for one poem to be both an epinician to a man and a hymn to a deity. I argue that we can in fact understand Nemean 3 as, at least in part, a hymn to Zeus, since victory odes instantiate praise in relation to multiple audiences.
