Anything But Routine

Make it better but don't change anything

With massive amounts of data being generated in electronic format, there is a need in basic science laboratories to adopt new methods for tracking and analyzing data. An electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) is not just a replacement for a paper lab notebook, it is a new method of storing and organizing data while maintaining the data entry flexibility and legal recording functions of paper note...

Transmembrane signaling is anything but rigid.

Kidney cell-specific knockdown: anything but simple.

USING GENE KNOCKOUT STRATEGIES to help define the physiological and/or pathophysiological role(s) of factors produced by specific renal cell types presents substantial challenges. Renal cell-specific gene targeting, involving a Cre recombinase (Cre)-expressing transgene (either constitutively expressed or inducible) and a loxP-flanked (floxed) target allele, has been achieved in vivo in mouse p...

AEZ: Anything-But EaZy in Hardware

We provide the first hardware implementation of AEZ, a third-round candidate to the CAESAR competition for authenticated encryption. Complex, optimized for software, and impossible to implement in a single pass, AEZ poses significant obstacles for any hardware realization. Still, we find that a hardware implementation of AEZ is quite feasible. On Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGAs, our single-core design ha...

Anything But Race: The Social Science Retreat From Racism

African American continue to occupy a disadvantaged position in the U. S. While historically, most social scientists emphasize the role that contemporary and historic racism has played in creating and perpetuating the disadvantaged position of African Americans, in recent years, theories that identify other explanations have been growing increasingly popular. They have in common the view that t...
