Protecting Groups, Acid, Base, Temperature and Time

Factors affecting aspartimide formation, such as protecting groups, acidity, basicity, and temperature, were studied using the model tetrapeptide, Glu-AspGly-Thr. The aspartyl carboxyl side chain in this tetrapeptide was either free or protected as a benzyl or cyclohexyl ester. Our results showed that the cyclohexyl ester led to far less aspartimide formation during acidic or tertiary amine tre...

Protecting Infrastructure Assets from Real-Time and Run-Time Threats

Real-time availability with integrity is a crucial security requirement for critical infrastructure assets – delays in reporting device states or computations may result in equipment damage, perhaps even catastrophic failure. However, it is also necessary to address malicious software-based threats. Trusted computing (TC) is a security paradigm that enables application platforms to enforce the ...

Protecting Memory-Performance Critical Sections in Soft Real-Time Applications

Soft real-time applications such as multimedia applications often show bursty memory access patterns—regularly requiring a high memory bandwidth for a short duration of time. Such a period is often critical for timely data processing. Hence, we call it a memory-performance critical section. Unfortunately, in multicore architecture, non-real-time applications on different cores may also demand h...

Time Limited Blackbox Security: Protecting Mobile Agents From Malicious Hosts

Trust in the time of markets: protecting patient information.

www.thelancet.com Vol 383 May 3, 2014 1523 Trust in the protection of confi dential patient data in England seems to be at an all-time low given recent breaches in releases of patient data and the fi nding that hospital data have been sold to companies with insuffi cient oversight. This follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed in January, 2014, by the Secretary of State for Health for Engla...
