Effects of dietary fermentable material on innate and adaptive immune measures in male and female rats under resting and immunized conditions
(2015-02-01)
Sex-based differences in immune parameters are well recognized, and recent evidence suggests differences in microbiota composition between sexes, necessitating assessment of effects of dietary fermentable material (DFM) ...
On the potential of intent-based access control (IBAC) in preventing insider threats
(2015-11-01)
Existing access control mechanisms are based on the concepts of identity enrollment and recognition, and assume that recognized identity is synonymous with ethical actions. However, statistics over the years show that the ...
A location privacy model and framework for mobile toy computing
(2015-08-01)
Many toys on the market are becoming integrated with the sensory and networking capabilities of mobile technology. Toy computing is an emerging area of research with the characteristics of physical computing, services ...
Cluster-based target tracking in vehicular ad hoc networks
(2015-01-01)
Recently Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) have drawn the attention of academic and industry researchers due to their potential applications in enabling Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), including safe driving, ...
Characterizing immunomodulatory activity of lactic acid bacteria on cell types involved in innate immunity: analysis of the effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus R0011-derived milk ferments on macrophage polarization and of secretome effects on intestinal epithelial cell cytokine production
(2015-07-01)
Probiotic lactic acid bacteria have been associated with a wide array of host-immune modulatory effects including down-regulation of pro-inflammatory gene transcription and expression following pro-inflammatory challenge, ...
Beyond the noise: an exploration of informative sound design in video games
(2015-08-01)
Informative sounds in video games are those that are played with a functional
purpose. These sounds are meant to inform the player of some change in the
state of the game, be it in their character’s status or something in ...
Synthesis and in vitro assessment of chemically modified siRNAs targeting BCL2 that contain 2'-ribose and triazole-linked backbone modifications
(2015-08-01)
Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are biomolecules used for post-transcriptional gene regulation, and therefore hold promise as a future therapeutic by silencing gene expression of overexpressed deleterious genes. Chemically ...
Investigation of dye-sensitized solar cell performance with single chirality semiconducting carbon nanotubes
(2015-03-01)
In this work, the performance, electrical transport, and optical properties of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) assembled with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) of a single chirality in the photoanode were ...
Playing is creating with PlayTIME: introducing and evaluating a tangible UI-based interactive scenario prototyping system
(2015-02-01)
With traditional game prototyping activities, physical and digital game prototyping
tasks are commonly separate, often requiring iteration between the two and different
personnel to complete physical and digital tasks. ...
Detection of side-channel communication in a mobile ad-hoc network environment using the Hamming distance metric
(2015-06-01)
Side-Channel communication is a form of traffic in which malicious parties communicate secretly over a wireless network. This is often established through the modification of Ethernet frame header fields, such as the Frame ...
