Downl Diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS), which is used to image tumor metabolic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), shows large changes in tumor functional parameters with significant reductions in oxyand deoxyhemoglobin for responders versus nonresponders. Although investigational, DOS may provide a cost-effective, risk-free method for optimizing NAC drug and dosing strategies for ind...

Objective: This research was carried out as a greenhouse experiment in the form of a Completely Randomized Factorial Design (CRD) in three-run sequences. The research aimed at investigating the impacts of Nicosulfuron (Cruz) and Rimsulfuran (Titus) residues on the growth of wheat in two soil types which differed in their levels of organic compounds and salinity. Methods: Treatment of the experi...

Diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS) and imaging are emerging diagnostic techniques that quantitatively measure the concentration of deoxy-hemoglobin (ctHHb), oxy-hemoglobin (ctO(2)Hb), water (ctH(2)O), and lipid in cm-thick tissues. In early-stage clinical studies, diffuse optical imaging and DOS have been used to characterize breast tumor biochemical composition and monitor therapeutic response...

Launching a denial of service (DoS) attack is trivial, but detection and response is a painfully slow and often a manual process. Automatic classification of attacks as singleor multi-source can help focus a response, but current packet-header-based approaches are susceptible to spoofing. This paper introduces a framework for classifying DoS attacks based on header content, transient ramp-up be...

Workloads for web applications can change rapidly. When the change is an increase in customers, a common adaptive approach to maintain SLAs is elasticity, the on-demand allocation of computing resources. However, application-level denial-of-service (DoS) attacks can also cause changes in workload, and require an entirely different response. These two issues are often addressed separately (in bo...

In this issue of Blood, back-to-back (dos-à-dos) papers by Chiu et al and Yee et al present complementary findings of structural investigations into the interaction between factor VIII (FVIII) and von Willebrand factor (VWF). The binding of FVIII to VWF contributes in a major way to the regulation of hemostasis.

Diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS) of breast tissue provides quantitative, functional information based on optical absorption and scattering properties that cannot be obtained with other radiographic methods. DOS-measured absorption spectra are used to determine the tissue concentrations of deoxyhemoglobin (Hb-R), oxyhemoglobin (Hb-O2), lipid, and water (H2O), as well as to provide an index of ...

Microcomputer virus programs have become a serious problem for users of DOS-based microcomputers. Although the number of viruses in circulation is growing steadily, fewer organizations are being disrupted by infections. Prompt detection of (and effective response to) virus infections is limiting the damage. The prudent course of action for organizations that use DOS-based microcomputers is to i...
