This paper describes a set of experiments we conducted to answer the question: just how prevalent is Internet interception? That is, if we sent our most sensitive information (bank information, passwords, etc.) in the clear, should we expect to regret it? For a little over a year, we sent different types of Internet traffic over unencrypted channels between multiple clients and servers located ...

The tremendous potential of grid computing is efficient scheduling, to exploit the computationally intense problems. In the commonly used decentralized models, large scale scheduling implies time sequence constraints, which makes the models intractable. To resolve this constraint, disintegration and cyclic scheduling are often applied to such scheduling which is time consuming and introducing m...

The doctrine of consideration, with its emphasis upon exchange, and its general rejection of 'more for the same', seems inadequate for the modern environment in which flexible rewards may reflect the employer's concern that the importance of individual staff to an enterprise may not remain constant and may alter as the commercial context in which their work is performed fluctuates. Although ver...

Hegeman, G. D. (University of California, Berkeley). Synthesis of the enzymes of the mandelate pathway by Pseudomonas putida. II. Isolation and properties of blocked mutants. J. Bacteriol. 91:1155-1160. 1966.-Mutants of Pseudomonas putida blocked in early reactions of the pathway for oxidation of d-mandelate were isolated and partially characterized. The specific genetic lesions in these mutant...

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) has been generally regarded as an ideal network model for group communications because of its specialty of instant establishment. However, the security of MANET is still a challenge issue. Although there are some existing security schemes such as ARAN (Authenticated Routing for Ad hoc Networks) protocol that makes use of cryptographic certificate to provide end-to-...

The Innovation Mill (IM) is an initiative which has been established in collaboration mainly among Nokia Corporation, Technopolis, and Tekes. Nokia Corporation provides its non-core ideas to other existing and start-ups companies through IM to turn these ideas into valuable products and services. Nokia idea database consists of enormous number of ideas that are non-core to it. Companies earn gr...

Primary alkanesulphonates were shown to serve as non-metabolizable (gratuitous) inducers of the P2 primary alkylsulphohydrolase enzyme in resting cell suspensions of Pseudomonas C12B. The effects of increasing concentrations of inducer on the production of enzyme were complex and suggestive of a multiphasic phenomenon. However, it was possible to determine Kinducer constants (analogous to Km or...

We have constructed a series of strains to facilitate the generation and analysis of clones of genetically distinct cells in developing and adult tissues of Drosophila. Each of these strains carries an FRT element, the target for the yeast FLP recombinase, near the base of a major chromosome arm, as well as a gratuitous cell-autonomous marker. Novel markers that carry epitope tags and that are ...

We tend to look the other way when content gets replicated, thinking nothing of duplicating assets in our content management system in the name of content re-use. And yet this same practice would be ridiculed in software engineering circles, where the technique of refactoring was developed precisely to address gratuitous duplication [Fowler, 1999]. This paper discusses methods of content re-use...
