We introduce Panelrama, a web framework for the construction of distributed user interfaces (DUI). Our implementation provides developers with low migration costs through built-in mechanisms for the synchronization of UI state and minimal changes to existing languages. Additionally, we describe a solution to categorize device characteristics and dynamically change UI allocation to best-fit devi...

j=1 aijgj(uj(t)) + Ii (i = 1, · · · , n) (1, 1) where gj(x) are activation functions, di, aij are constants and Ii are constant inputs. In practice, however, the interconnections contain asynchronous terms in general, and the interconnection weights aij, bij , self-inhibition di and inputs Ii should depend on time, often periodically. Therefore, we need to discuss the following dynamical system...

Since 1988, the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) has been 21 years for all 50 US states. The increasing prevalence of teenagers driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol and the resulting traffic accidents were two main reasons for raising the MLDA to 21 years. Following the passage of this legislation, several published studies have found that the higher MLDA is associated with a significa...

Species of the families Mytilidae (sea mussels) and Unionidae (fresh water mussels) contain two types of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), the F that behaves as the standard animal mtDNA and the M that is transmitted through the sperm and establishes itself only in the male gonad. The two molecules have, therefore, separate transmission routes, one through the female and the other through the male lin...

Distributed User Interfaces (DUIs) are graphical interfaces whose components are distributed in one or many of the UI distribution dimensions: Time, space, platforms, displays, or users. In this work, we have investigated the impact of the application of DUIs, with respect to the different DUI dimensions, on the experience of users of recommender systems. We developed two prototype video recomm...

Doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) of mitochondrial DNA, found only in some bivalve families and characterized by the existence of gender-associated mtDNA lineages that are inherited through males (M-type) or females (F-type), is one of the very few exceptions to the general rule of strict maternal mtDNA inheritance in animals. M-type sequences are often undetected and hence still underrepres...

Sex-related differences in the clinical expression and outcome of schizophrenia have long been recognized; this study set out to evaluate whether they extend to those subjects who are at high risk of developing psychosis. In a sample enrolled in two early intervention programs in northern Italy, patients with first-episode psychosis (FEP; n=152) were compared to patients at ultra-high risk of p...

OBJECTIVE The prevalence of HIV among southern California Vietnamese is unknown. We collected seroprevalence data on targeted Vietnamese in Orange County, California who may be at risk for HIV infection. METHODS The assumption of elevated risk was based on rates of infection reported among other U.S. groups. Vietnamese (N = 874) from six county sites were tested during 1992: (1) attendees at ...

Driving under the influence of substances (DUI) other than alcohol has been the subject of increasing interest over the past few decades (Schulze et al., 2012). As with alcohol, research has shown that drug intake increases the risk of road traffic accidents (Elvik, 2013; Schulze et al., 2012; Verstraete & Legrand, 2014). Intervention in this area is a priority. A key factor for deterring DUI i...
