This paper scrutinizes the use of ‘notice and consent’ to address privacy concerns in online behavioral advertising (OBA). It is part of a larger project with Dan Boneh, Arvind Narayanan, and Vincent Toubiana to evaluate the social, political, and ethical standing of OBA and to develop a system (PRIVADS) for privacypreserving OBA. We develop a distinction between the ethical implications of the...

To reduce these rates, the government launched in 2006 a means-tested reproductive health output-based approach (OBA) voucher program that covers costs of antenatal care, a facility-based delivery (FBD) and a postnatal visit in prequalified healthcare facilit...

The radiosensitive mutant xrs-5, a derivative of the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) K1 cell line, is defective in DNA double-strand break repair and V(D)J recombination. The defective phenotypes of xrs-5 cells are complemented by the 86 kDa subunit of Ku antigen. OBA is a protein, previously purified from HeLa cells, that binds in a sequence-specific manner to mammalian origins of DNA replication....

Stochastic hill-climbing algorithms, particularly simulated annealing (SA) and threshold acceptance (TA), have become very popular for global optimization applications. Typical implementations of SA or TA use monotone temperature or threshold schedules, and are not formulated to accommodate practical time limits. We present a new threshold acceptance strategy called Old Bachelor Acceptance (OBA...

Oba artykuły w jasny i klarowny sposób opisują utrzymującą się wzajemną relację istniejącą pomiędzy sąsiadującymi ze sobą tkankami wywodzącymi się ze wspólnych linii komórek prekursorowych. Co za tym idzie, diagnostyka obrazowa zyskuje nowe pole zainteresowań, mogąc przysłużyć się do udokumentowania aktywacji bądź utrzymywania się procesu zapalnego i przyczynić się do standaryzacji postępowania...
