The need to scale visualization of cyber (IP-space) data sets and analytic results as well as to support a variety of data sources and missions have proved challenging requirements for the development of a cyber common operating picture. Typical methods of visualizing IP-space data require unreliable domain conversions such as IP geolocation, network topology that is difficult to discover, or d...

We sought to determine the relationships among intrarenal and systemic inflammation and renal disease in HIV. We compared paired serum and urinary levels (normalized to urine creatinine) of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES), interferon-γ-induced protein-10 (IP-10), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and β2-microglobulin (B2M) betwee...

Two new haliclamines were identified directly from the crude extract of the Arctic sponge Haliclona viscosa using improved chromatographic conditions and a detailed knowledge about the fragmentation pattern of haliclamines. These are haliclamine G (1) with two alkyl chains of equal length (10 methylene groups) and haliclamine H (2) with alkyl chains of 10 and 12 methylene groups. Due to the lim...

Input-output economics has become a popular tool to analyse the international fragmentation of value chains, especially now that several multi-regional tables that cover large parts of the global economy have become available. It has been argued that these tables, when analysed with the help of the input-output economics toolbox, can provide better insights about global value chains than can be...

Recently, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems have integrated and connected to the Internet to address the widening scope and to maximize the advantages in terms of control, data viewing and generation. With the aid of mobile IP technology, this paper discusses the integration of hierarchical mobile networks for SCADA systems.

Although diversity provides teams with a variety of advantages, the diversity–performance connection is not always positive. This paper identifies three performance issues that naturally result from diversity and suggests a potential solution for each of them. First, the positive effects associated with diversity often decay over time, in part because heterogeneous people may homogenize with re...

BACKGROUND Swimming behaviors in the forced swimming test have been reported to be depressed by stressors. Since toxic convulsion-inducing drugs related to dopamine [cocaine (COC)], benzodiazepine [methyl 6,7-dimethoxy-4-ethyl-beta-carboline-carboxylate (DMCM)], gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) [bicuculline (BIC)], and glutamate [N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)] receptors can function as stressors, t...
