microRNAs (miRNAs) are a large family of ˜ 22 nucleotides (nt) long RNA molecules that are widely expressed in eukaryotes (1). Complex genomes encode at least hundreds of miRNAs, which primarily inhibit the expression of a vast number of target genes post-transcriptionally (2, 3). miRNAs control a broad range of biological processes (1). In addition, altered miRNA expression has been associa...

The timely creation of a patient-specific physical therapy and rehabilitation program is a challenge. PhysPrac by Active Health Tech (2014, USD$ 7.99 on the AppStore) provides an inexpensive point-of-care solution for rapidly generating a custom rehabilitation protocol. The mobile platform allows users to select from an existing evidencebased exercise database or use custom exercises to build a...

We discuss when and why custom multi-factor risk models are warranted and give source code for computing some risk factors. Pension/mutual funds do not require customization but standardization. However, using standardized risk models in quant trading with much shorter holding horizons is suboptimal: (1) longer horizon risk factors (value, growth, etc.) increase noise trades and trading costs; ...

Z Technology manufactures NIST traceable instrumentation for the measurement of receive-level RF signal strength over a basic frequency range of 5 to 1000 MHz. Systems can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements and for measurement of specific transmission formats and extended frequency ranges. As an example, custom configurations can be provided with both wideband measurement and GP...

This report focuses on models for describing Hardware at di erent re nement levels within High Level Synthesis ow: SFSMD, FSMD and FSM Controlling Datapath. Simple data interfaces are often needed in these models. The hardware description language VHDL is used and tested for implementing these models and interfaces. Problems inherent in the models as well as problems caused by VHDL are discusse...

BACKGROUND Custom oral appliances that adjustably advance the mandible provide superior outcomes when treating patients with moderate or severe sleep apnea. Custom appliances, however, are expensive, must be fitted by a dentist, and the likelihood of successful outcomes are difficult to predict. An inexpensive trial appliance, if proven efficacious, might be used to predict custom appliance out...

In this paper, we propose a low-complexity, secrecy capacity achieving polar coding scheme for the cognitive interference channel with confidential messages (CICC) under the strong secrecy criterion. Existing polar coding schemes for interference channels rely on the use of polar codes for the multiple access channel, the code construction problem of which can be complicated. We show that the w...

This paper discusses the different versions of hardware and firmware currently available for the Linksys WRT54G and WRT54GS router models. It covers the advantages, disadvantages, and compatibility issues of each one of them. The paper goes further to compare firmware added features and associated filesystems and then discusses firmware installation precautions and ways to recover from a failed...
