In this method of labeling thyroliberin for radioimmunoassay, 1,3,4,6-tetrachloro-3a,6a-diphenylglycoluril (lodogert#{174}) is usedas oxidant. By cation-exchange chromatography and in response to antibody, thyroliberin so labeled behaved similarly to that produced by the conventional Chloramine-T method. Major advantages of the lodogen method are its reliability, simplicity, and higher yield of...

Streaming is a popular and efficient way of web-based on-demand multimedia delivery. However, flexible methods of interaction and navigation, as required, for example, in learning applications, are very restricted with streamed contents. Using the example of recorded lectures, we point out the importance of such advanced interaction which is not possible with purely streamed media. A new delive...

We present Social Comics, a casual video game that allows players to act in short comic strips that they create. We designed Social Comics to be a fast paced game that engages the audience and players equally, in an effort to adapt it for parties and social gatherings. We motivate Social Comics with a design framework for video games that combines three gameplay elements: sociability, physicali...

Identifying subspace gene clusters from the gene expression data is useful for discovering novel functional gene interactions. In this paper, we propose to use low-rank representation (LRR) to identify the subspace gene clusters from microarray data. LRR seeks the lowest-rank representation among all the candidates that can represent the genes as linear combinations of the bases in the dataset....

In this paper, we describe a method for discovering knowledge about users on a web site from data composed of demographic descriptions and site navigations. The goal is to obtain knowledge that is useful to answer two types of questions: (1) how do site users visit a web site? (2) Who are these users? Our approach is based on the following idea: the set of all site users can be divided into sev...

We examine an abstraction of a real communications problem in order to identify some of the problems involved in satisfying the veriication requirements of such a system. The example is described using LOTOSSISO88], and the RRL term rewriting systemmKZ87] is used to carry out the proofs.
