Occupational therapy is now consistently described as a profession concerned with enabling occupation. A crucial step in enabling occupation is understanding the occupational performance of our clients. Dynamic Performance Analysis (DPA) is a new approach to occupational analysis that focuses on the client's actual performance. DPA, acknowledging that optimal performance is the product of the i...

A comparison of combined IR and UV/Vis pump-probe measurements of diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) and diphenylacetylene (DPA) provides clear evidence that the photodecarbonylation of DPCP following excitation to its S2-state proceeds non-adiabatically to the electronic ground state of DPA. It is shown that transient absorption of electronically excited DPA is caused exclusively by photoexcitation...

Differential Power Analysis (DPA) is a powerful cryptanalytic technique for extracting data from a cryptographic device. The implementation of DPA relies mainly on collecting power consumption traces and applying statistical methods, in order to average over them and obtain the secret key. Information leakage of this kind can be prevented by using masking methods. However, most of these methods...

Differential Power Analysis (DPA) aims at revealing secret keys in cryptographic devices by analyzing their power consumption as side-channel information. Although power consumption models based on transition probability were used to evaluate a DPA-resistance in previous studies, the adequacy of this model has not been confirmed enough. In this paper, we show two experiments about information o...

DPA attacks usually exhibit a “divide-and-conquer” property: the adversary needs to enumerate only a small space of the key (a key sub-space) when performing the DPA attack. This is achieved trivially in the outer rounds of a cryptographic implementation since intermediates depend on only few key bits. In the inner rounds, however, intermediates depend on too many key bits to make DPA practical...

In this article, we propose a new extension to a Dynamic Programming Algorithm (DPA) approach for Track-beforeDetect challenges. This extension enables the DPA to process time-delayed sensor data directly. Such delay might appear because of delays in communication networks. The extended DPA is identical to the recursive standard DPA in case of all sensor data appear in the timely correct order....

UNLABELLED We measured the dependence of electrophoretic mobility of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) vesicles on the aqueous concentration of negatively charged ions of pentachlorophenol (PCP), dipicrylamine (DPA), and tetraphenylborate (TPhB). The objective was to determine how the physical state of hydrocarbon chains of lipids affects adsorption of lipophilic ions. The studies were done...

This study is aimed at the development and application of a convenient and rapid optical assay to monitor the wet-heat resistance of bacterial endospores occurring in food samples. We tested the feasibility of measuring the release of the abundant spore component dipicolinic acid (DPA) as a probe for heat inactivation. Spores were isolated from the laboratory type strain Bacillus subtilis 168 a...

BACKGROUND Given the potential impact school-based daily physical activity (DPA) policies can have on the health outcomes of Canadian children, it is surprising that such little research has examined the implementation and student-level effectiveness of these policies, and that even less have used theory to understand the barriers and facilitators affecting uptake of this policy by teachers. Th...

n-3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) have been shown to reduce inflammation and proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells under pathophysiological conditions. However, the anti-inflammatory effect of the newly synthesized docosapentaenoic acid monoacylglyceride (MAG-DPA) on key signaling pathways in pulmonary hypertension (PH) pathogenesis has yet to be assessed. The aim of th...
