This paper studies how a sender with private information can influence the decisionmaker through well informed intermediaries. Both the sender and the intermediary may be independently objective or biased: with the objective type assumed to pass on the most accurate information while the biased type wanting to push a particular agenda but also to appear objective. Although using one’s own infor...

SPDY [2] is an application layer protocol developed for reducing web latency. It is estimated that about 3.6% of all websites use SPDY today [3], but that statistics hides how many web transactions use SPDY. It has rapidly gained adoption across Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Reddit, and WordPress. While only a small fraction of all websites use SPDY today, SPDY-capable proxies are being dep...

Long-term production planning design is a major step in mine planning, because it determines the economic outcome of a project. Also long-term planes act as a guide for medium and short-term production scheduling. Because there are a large number of blocks within the ultimate pit limit, the pit can be divided into a series of sub-pits commonly called push backs, cut backs or phases. These push ...

We reconstructed from electron micrographs of 189 serial ultrathin sections a major portion of the dendritic tree of an on-beta ganglion cell through its sixth order of branching. One hundred three contacts from three cone bipolar cells were identified. Forty-seven contacts were from a single CBb1 cone bipolar. These were distributed widely over the dendritic tree but were frequently found on t...

Using 3D kinetic data, this study was undertaken to determine whether similar joint muscle power activities or mechanical energies are developed for dynamic stability and propulsion during the gait of healthy elderly and young individuals’ dynamic stability. Eighteen elderly (71±6.8 years) and 18 young (25±4.1 years) able-bodied male subjects walked along a 10 m walkway at a freely-chosen speed...

In biomechanics, explanatory template models are used to identify the basic mechanisms of human locomotion. However, model predictions often lack verification in a realistic environment. We present a method that uses template model mechanics as a blueprint for a bipedal robot and a corresponding computer simulation. The hypotheses derived from template model studies concerning the function of h...

INTRODUCTION Why should Java security concern you? Many push-based applications are being ported to Java. In addition, Java is one of the cornerstones of active content and an understanding of Java security basics is necessary for understanding the implications of push security issues. A lot of people ask: “Why do I need Java security? I thought it was safe.” Java as a language is basically saf...

A fully integrated single-ended output pushpush oscillator is realized using an advanced 0.2μm SiGe HBT process. Up to –5 dBm output power is achieved at 180 GHz using a technology with a transition frequency fT of 200 GHz and maximum oscillation frequency fMAX of 275 GHz. Preliminary phase noise measurements show a phase noise of less than –90 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from the 180 GHz carrier.
