Orson Welles: Ten Years After His Death

Fifty years after Welles and Welles: distribution and genetic structure of desert bighorn sheep in Death Valley National Park

The status of desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni) populations in the mountains around Death Valley was first evaluated in 1938, shortly after designation of Death Valley National Monument. However, the most comprehensive evaluation of bighorn sheep in the region was conducted by Ralph and Florence Welles during 1955-1961. They documented patterns of use at water sources and other foc...

The Medium on Trial: Orson Welles Takes on Kafka and Cinema

Few American directors have been as manifestly preoccupied with the uses and abuses of the media as Orson Welles. He became instantly famous in 1938 when his radio show The War of the Worlds, a simulation of a news broadcast announcing that Martians had just invaded New Jersey, managed to induce mass panic in an audience who took the hoax for an actual event.' People packed the roads, hid in ce...

Ten years after

Bves: ten years after.

Bves was discovered in 1999 by two independent laboratories using screens to identify novel genes that were highly expressed in the developing heart (Reese et al., 1999; Andree et al., 2000). As an evolutionarily conserved transmembrane protein, Bves is postulated to play a role in cell adhesion and cell motility. In studies of Bves protein disruption, there have been multiple phenotypes, but f...

Packets in Packets: Orson Welles' In-Band Signaling Attacks for Modern Radios

Here we present methods for injecting raw frames at Layer 1 from within upper-layer protocols by abuse of in-band signaling mechanisms common to most digital radio protocols. This packet piggy-backing technique allows attackers to hide malicious packets inside packets that are permitted on the network. When these carefully crafted Packets-in-Packets (PIPs) traverse a wireless network, a bit err...
