Proteomics approaches enable interrogation of large numbers of proteins to provide a more comprehensive understanding of biological systems. High throughput proteomics typically utilizes liquid chromatography – mass spectrometry technology for data acquisition. Bioinformatic analysis tools are essential to manage and mine resulting high volume proteomics data sets. Data analysis is a current bo...

This paper analyzes bilateral multi-issue negotiation between selfinterested agents. Specifically, we consider the case where issues are divisible, there are time constraints in the form of deadlines and discount factors, and the agents have different preferences over the issues. Given these differing preferences, it is possible to reach Pareto-optimal agreements by negotiating all the issues t...

Provable data possession (PDP) is a technique for ensuring the validity of data in storage outsourcing. The main issue is how to frequently, efficiently verify that an untrusted server is correctly storing its client’s outsourced data. In this paper, we introduce a robust provable data possession protocol that allows a client that has stored he/her data at an untrusted server to verify the vali...

This document describes a proposed protocol to be used in an implementation of a PDP-11 network Bootstrap service and a cross-network debugger. The protocol is designed for debugging processes running under an operating system which can perform some of the "lower level" debugging tasks, such as planting and removing breakpoints and single stepping. A subset of the protocol could be used if such...

A total of 552 entire male and female nursery pigs were selected to be used in 2 different experiments that aimed to study if milk ingredients can be replaced by highly preferred protein sources (Exp. 1) and if pre- and postnatal exposure of those protein ingredients through the maternal diet may increase pig performance (Exp. 2). In Exp. 1, 240 pigs were separated after weaning (28 d) into 2 g...

PDP 0101. Successfully Managing People. 1.4 Hour. Focuses on key elements to help students meet the current challenges in a changing environment. One’s results as a manager are dependent upon the results of others; therefore, to be successful one must effectively manage others. Offers students an opportunity to learn how to apply proven leadership techniques for coaching, counseling, delegating...

When subjects switch between a pair of stimulus-response tasks, reaction time is slower on trial N if a different task was performed on trial N - 1. We present a parallel distributed processing (PDP) model that simulates this effect when subjects switch between word reading and color naming in response to Stroop stimuli. Reaction time on "switch trials" can be slowed by an extended response sel...

The development of effective decision support tools that can be adopted in the transportation industry is vital in the world we live in today, since it can lead to substantial cost reduction and efficient resource consumption. Solving the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) and its related variants is at the heart of scientific research for optimizing logistic planning. One important variant of the V...
