(2009-07-22)Department: Biomedical InformaticsHealthcare organizations are often stymied in their efforts to prevent insider attacks that violate patient privacy. Numerous high-profile privacy breaches involving celebrities have brought this deficiency to the public's ...
-
(2009-11-09)Department: Biomedical InformaticsThe emergency room is a challenging place to practice medicine. Overcrowding, episodic care, and an interrupt driven environment are all factors contributing to medical errors in the ED . We performed a comprehensive ...
-
(2005-07-25)Department: Mechanical EngineeringThe purpose of this work is to present a scalable distributed sensor network capable of localizing acoustic sources in the near-field. Traditional sensor networks employ a central controller, however; centralized data ...

(2013-07-31)Department: Electrical EngineeringTotal ionizing dose (TID) effect is a kind of radiation effects. It’s related with the charge build up in the insulator caused by the radiation. This radiation induced charge build up will pose reliability issue and is a ...
-
(2015-04-05)Department: Cancer BiologyE-cadherin is widely recognized as a tumor- and/or metastasis suppressor, with its activity as a cell-cell adhesion receptor is dependent on tightly coupled interactions with cytoplasmic cofactors p120-, α-, and β-catenins. ...
-
(2015-03-11)Department: ChemistryWe developed a novel approach for the general and enantioselective synthesis of a diverse array of small to large 1-azabicyclo[m.n.0]alkyl ring systems with an embedded olefin handle for further functionalization. The ...
-
(2012-11-05)Department: ChemistryThe azabicyclic ring system is a common structural subunit present in numerous alkaloid natural products and serves as an important scaffold in biologically active and pharmaceutically significant compounds. Pyrrolizidine, ...
-
(2018-08-27)Department: PsychologyMediation analysis is an increasingly popular statistical method in the social sciences. However, currently available effect size measures for mediation have substantial limitations. In particular, complex mediation models ...
-
(2011-08-01)Department: Computer ScienceThis thesis introduces graph class C, a recognition algorithm for graphs in the class, and shows that some problems are NP-complete on the class. Class C is a generalization of chordal graphs. Informally, a graph is in ...
