METHODS The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials selected 17 state and large local jurisdictions on the basis of their proximity to federal quarantine stations and collaborated with their state health department legal counsel to conduct formulaic self-assessments of social distancing legal authorities, create tables of authorit...

Molecular interaction networks, such as those involving protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions, often consist of thousands of nodes or even more, which severely limits the usefulness of many graph drawing tools because they become too slow for interactive analysis of the networks and because they produce cluttered drawings with many edge crossings. We present a new, fast-layout algorithm ...

In this research we investigated the use of the GUESS system in the exploration of auditory pattern perception by blind and visually impaired people. We have compared three different techniques for presenting graphical scenes via non-speech sounds: one based on the physical tablet, one on the virtual-sonic grid, and one on sound localization techniques. In each technique we utilized a 2D sound ...

Divorcing couples traditionally incorporate into their settlement contracts a stipulation regarding relative degree of freedom to relocate, especially if the relocating parent has primary custody of the children. Typically, the primary custodial parent might be restricted from moving outside of the state in which the divorcing couple has resided, or there may be a specific mile radius or travel...

In this paper, the optimal numbers of gas and hydrogen stations are examined. Recently, the possibility of gasoline vehicles being replaced with fuel cell vehicles (FCV) is being examined in the coming hydrogen society. The realization of this scenario however needs a large number of hydrogen refueling stations, which hardly exist at the present. We first calculate the optimal number of hydroge...

We estimate the effect of neighborhood characteristics on the mortality of poor black male youth in families relocated through the Gautreaux Assisted Housing Program, a residential mobility program implemented in Chicago in 1976. Within our sample (N=2850), post-placement mortality rates were substantially higher than national rates for black male youth and primarily consisted of deaths due to ...

MOTIVATION Graph drawing algorithms are often used for visualizing relational information, but a naive implementation of a graph drawing algorithm encounters real difficulties when drawing large-scale graphs such as protein interaction networks. RESULTS We have developed a new, extremely fast layout algorithm for visualizing large-scale protein interaction networks in the three-dimensional sp...
