Across 6 studies, Whites expressed more negative attitudes toward strongly identified racial minorities than toward weakly identified minorities. Whites who personally endorsed worldviews that legitimize the status hierarchy were particularly likely to express negative attitudes toward strongly identified minorities relative to weakly identified minorities, whereas Whites who personally rejecte...

We consider the problem of realizing several common communication structures in the all-optical Partitioned Optical Passive Stars (POPS) topology. We show that, often, the obvious or “natural” method of implementing a communication pattern in the POPS does not efficiently utilize its communication capabilities. We present techniques which distribute the communication load uniformly in the POPS ...

Multimedia such as image, audio, and video is easy to create and distribute with the advance of IT. Since novice uses them for illegal purposes, multimedia forensics are required to protect contents and block illegal usage. This paper presents a multimedia forensic algorithm for video to identify the device used for acquiring unknown video files. First, the way to calculate a sensor pattern noi...

The purpose of this paper is to efficiently exploit swizzling in reducing coupling noise between the bit lines of a TSV-based data bus in three-dimensional integrated circuits. The core concept of swizzling is to distribute the noise of an aggressor to all victims, rather than concentrating on the nearest victim. Based on this principle, an optimal swizzling pattern, which achieves an equal dis...

Multimedia such as image, audio, and video is easy to create and distribute with the advance of IT. Since novice uses them for illegal purposes, multimedia forensics are required to protect contents and block illegal usage. Using a Morphology-based Sensor Pattern Noise (M-SPN), this paper presents a multimedia forensic algorithm for video to identify the device used for acquiring unknown video ...

The manner by which axons distribute synaptic connections along dendrites remains a fundamental unresolved issue in neuronal development and physiology. We found in vitro and in vivo indications that dendrites determine the density, location and strength of their synaptic inputs by controlling the distance of their branches from those of their neighbors. Such control occurs through collective b...

Two-photon excitation with temporally focused pulses can be combined with phase-modulation approaches, such as computer-generated holography and generalized phase contrast, to efficiently distribute light into two-dimensional, axially confined, user-defined shapes. Adding lens-phase modulations to 2D-phase holograms enables remote axial pattern displacement as well as simultaneous pattern gener...

Here we present and analyze an optical spectrum analyzer at the nanometer scale that is able to distribute different frequency contents of the radiation of an optical dipole source into different directions in the space. The spectrum analyzer is composed of arrays of optical Yagi-Uda nanoantennas, forming relatively narrow radiation patterns operating at different frequencies. The optical Yagi-...

In some thermally driven two-phase natural circulation systems, bubble pumps serve as the key driving powers for cycles. Recently a type of distribute heating pump generator (BPG) is gradually receiving attention due to its compact structure and great potentials utilize solar energy low-grade waste heat recovery. The BPG provides variety promising features (e.g., passive transfer, enhanced reli...
