Traditional, Hybrid and Online Teamwork: Lessons from the Field

Lessons Learned from Using an Online Platform to Conduct Large-Scale, Online Controlled Security Experiments with Software Developers

Security and privacy researchers are increasingly conducting controlled experiments focusing on IT professionals, such as software developers and system administrators. These professionals are typically more difficult to recruit than general end-users. In order to allow for distributed recruitment of IT professionals for security user studies, we designed Developer Observatory, a browser-based ...

Screening for Type II L-Asparaginases: Lessons from the Genus Halomonas

Among the two types of bacterial L-asparaginases, only type II enzymes have been used inthe treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia owing to their higher affinity for L-asparagine.However, current screening media used for the isolation of L-asparaginase-producingmicroorganisms do not discriminate between the two types of L-asparaginase. During anoptimization study conducted to increase L-aspa...
