In a Multi-Variant Execution Environment (MVEE), several slightly different versions of the same program are executed in lockstep. While this is done, the environment compares the behavior of each version at certain synchronization points with the aim of increasing resilience against attacks. Traditionally, the monitoring component of MVEEs has been implemented as an OS kernel extension, which ...

Previous research on the redundancy principle in multimedia learning has shown that although exact correspondence between on-screen text and narration generally impairs learning, brief labels within an animation can improve learning. To clarify and extend the theoretical and practical implications of these results, the authors of the present research examined the extent to which varying degrees...

There are many studies showing that physical training improves body composition including bone mineral density (BMD) in almost all subjects. However, the frequency-dependent effect of playing golf on body composition is still not clearly comprehended. Moreover, the effect of screen golf in relations with exercise-frequency on body composition and golf performance has not been documented. Forty ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM 5-Aminosalicylates (ASA) are widely used in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Nephrotoxicity has been described in some IBD patients treated with 5-ASA. Whether physicians managing these patients are monitoring renal function in daily practice is unknown. The aims of this paper were to investigate how private gastroenterologists monitor renal function and manage renal failure...

This paper describes 4-views display system that can be viewed from any direction (i.e., the display has four viewing zones so as to perceive a screen view of the display at all directions around a table). The authors have ever researched information display systems involving 3D imaging. However, a conventional monitor display is viewed from one direction, that is, the display has narrow viewin...

Considering the numbers of zebrafish held in the laboratories, it is relevant to develop some tools to monitor the health of the animals, as well as their biotope. Environmental samples can be used to detect aquatic pathogens. Comprehensive health monitoring would thus seek pathogens in three dimensions of the animals and microbes' habitat: the fish, the sludge, and the water. This three-dimens...

Advances in our understanding of cellular function and signal transduction have resulted in ever increasing number of therapeutical targets and, consequently, underscored a demand for simple and universally applicable markers to monitor activity of the biological system. Gene expression-based screening is based on the assumption that introduction of a compound into biological system would affec...
