The interactions between the microtubule motor cytoplasmic dynein and its putative regulator dynactin have been shown to be dynamic and complex.

In this paper, a novel ‘‘delayand utility-oriented (DUO)’’ resource allocation algorithm for the mixture of real-time (RT) and non-real-time services in orthogonal frequency division multiple access systems is proposed. The proposed DUO algorithm considers delayutility function and rate-utility function simultaneously, scheduling RT packets approaching the deadline first and then achieving as m...

The Interactive Musical Partner (IMP) is software designed for use in duo improvisations, with one human improviser and one instance of IMP, focusing on a freely improvised duo aesthetic. IMP has Musical Personality Settings (MPS) that can be set prior to performance, and these MPS guide the way IMP responds to musical input. The MPS also govern the probability of particular outcomes from IMP’s...

Entrainment theory focuses on processes in which interacting (i.e., coupled) rhythmic systems stabilize, producing synchronization in the ideal sense, and forms of phase related rhythmic coordination in complex cases. In human action, entrainment involves spatiotemporal and social aspects, characterizing the meaningful activities of music, dance, and communication. How can the phenomenon of hum...

WHO estimates that more than 7 million people, 98% of whom are in the developing world are co-infected with HIV and TB. The situation is explosive, leading to unprecedented public health crises. Both diseases are devastating but the devastation of the TB /HIV co-epidemic surpasses the devastation of either disease on its own. An estimated 1.4 million new cases of HIV-TB occurred in 2008, repres...
