A Declarative Approach to Hardening Services Against QoS Vulnerabilities
(IEEE, 2011)The Quality of Service (QoS) in a distributed service-oriented application can be negatively affected by a variety of factors. Network volatility, hostile exploits, poor service management, all can prevent a service-oriented ... -
A Modest Proposal for Open Market Risk Assessment to Solve the Cyber-Security Problem
(Virginia Tech, 2016-04-29)We introduce a model for a market based economic system of cyber-risk valuation to correct fundamental problems of incentives within the information technology and information processing industries. We assess the makeup ... -
A systematic review of studies on forecasting the dynamics of influenza outbreaks
(Wiley, 2013-12-23)Forecasting the dynamics of influenza outbreaks could be useful for decision-making regarding the allocation of public health resources. Reliable forecasts could also aid in the selection and implementation of interventions ... -
Applications and Security of Next-Generation, User-Centric Wireless Systems
(MDPI, 2010-07-28)Pervasive wireless systems have significantly improved end-users quality of life. As manufacturing costs decrease, communications bandwidth increases, and contextual information is made more readily available, the role of ... -
Automatic layout and visualization of biclusters
(2006-09-04)Background Biclustering has emerged as a powerful algorithmic tool for analyzing measurements of gene expression. A number of different methods have emerged for computing biclusters in gene expression data. Many of these ... -
The Catchment Feature Model: A Device for Multimodal Fusion and a Bridge between Signal and Sense
(2004-09-18)The catchment feature model addresses two questions in the field of multimodal interaction: how we bridge video and audio processing with the realities of human multimodal communication, and how information from the different ... -
CCS 2017- Women in Cyber Security (CyberW) Workshop
(ACM, 2017)The CyberW workshop is motivated by the significant gender imbalance in all security conferences, in terms of the number of publishing authors, PC members, organizers, and attendees. What causes this gender imbalance remains ... -
Changes in RNA Splicing in Developing Soybean (Glycine max) Embryos
(MDPI, 2013-11-21)Developing soybean seeds accumulate oils, proteins, and carbohydrates that are used as oxidizable substrates providing metabolic precursors and energy during seed germination. The accumulation of these storage compounds ... -
Charge State of the Globular Histone Core Controls Stability of the Nucleosome
(CELL PRESS, 2010-09-01)Presented here is a quantitative model of the wrapping and unwrapping of the DNA around the histone core of the nucleosome that suggests a mechanism by which this transition can be controlled: alteration of the charge state ... -
Chemical Data Assimilation-An Overview
(MDPI AG, 2011-09-01)Chemical data assimilation is the process by which models use measurements to produce an optimal representation of the chemical composition of the atmosphere. Leveraging advances in algorithms and increases in the available ... -
Chemical Mechanism Solvers in Air Quality Models
(MDPI AG, 2011-09-01)The solution of chemical kinetics is one of the most computationally intensive tasks in atmospheric chemical transport simulations. Due to the stiff nature of the system, implicit time stepping algorithms which repeatedly ... -
Co-located Collaborative Play in Virtual Environments for Group Learning in Museums
(ACM, 2014-06)Having witnessed the unexplored potential of co-located group collaboration in contemporary museums, the proposed research aims to identify which elements of collaborative virtual environments and serious games can be ... -
Comprehensive off-target analysis of dCas9-SAM-mediated HIV reactivation via long noncoding RNA and mRNA profiling
(2018-09-10)Abstract Background CRISPR/CAS9 (epi)genome editing revolutionized the field of gene and cell therapy. Our previous study demonstrated that a rapid and robust reactivation of ... -
Computational approaches for discovery of common immunomodulators in fungal infections: towards broad-spectrum immunotherapeutic interventions
(2013-10-07)Background Fungi are the second most abundant type of human pathogens. Invasive fungal pathogens are leading causes of life-threatening infections in clinical settings. Toxicity to the host and drug-resistance are two major ... -
Computational Identification of Tissue-Specific Splicing Regulatory Elements in Human Genes from RNA-Seq Data
(PLOS, 2016-11-18)Alternative splicing is a vital process for regulating gene expression and promoting proteomic diversity. It plays a key role in tissue-specific expressed genes. This specificity is mainly regulated by splicing factors ... -
A computational study of nucleosomal DNA flexibility
(CELL PRESS, 2006-12-01)Molecular dynamics simulations of the nucleosome core particle and its isolated DNA free in solution are reported. The simulations are based on the implicit solvent methodology and provide insights into the nature of ... -
Cooperative Object Manipulation in Collaborative Virtual Environments
(Springer Nature, 2008-06-20)Cooperative manipulation refers to the simultaneous manipulation of a virtual object by multiple users in an immersive virtual environment (VE). In this work, we present techniques for cooperative manipulation based on ... -
CoSREM: a graph mining algorithm for the discovery of combinatorial splicing regulatory elements
(2015-09-04)Background Alternative splicing (AS) is a post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism for gene expression regulation. Splicing decisions are affected by the combinatorial behavior of different splicing factors that bind to ... -
CrowdLayout: Crowdsourced Design and Evaluation of Biological Network Visualizations
(ACM, 2018-04)Biologists often perform experiments whose results generate large quantities of data, such as interactions between molecules in a cell, that are best represented as networks (graphs). To visualize these networks and ...
