Analyzing paleomagnetic data: To anchor or not to anchor?

To anchor or not to anchor self-expanding metal stents in malignant esophageal disease: Is this still a question?

Converting a Motor to an Anchor

Myosin VI can move along actin filaments to serve as a transport motor. It is also thought to anchor vesicles or proteins to actin. How these two diverse activities, which require very different modes of interaction with actin, are mediated is not understood. Using single molecule observations, Altman et al. (2004 [this issue of Cell]) demonstrate that load applied to myosin VI can convert this...

Anchor Modeling

Did you know that some of the earliest prerequisites for data warehousing were set over 2500 years ago. It is called an anchor model since the anchors tie down a number of attributes (see picture above). All EER-diagrams have been made with Graphviz. All cats are drawn by the author, Lars Rönnbäck. 2 2 You can never step into the same river twice. 2 The great greek philosopher Heraclitus said "...

We Readily Anchor Upon Others, But it is Easier to Anchor on the Self

Research on social inferences demonstrates that when thinking about minds similar to our own, we anchor and adjust away from ourselves (Tamir & Mitchell, 2013). However, research on relational self theory (Andersen & Chen, 2002) suggests the possibility of using knowledge about others as an anchor when they are more similar to a target than ourselves. We investigated whether social inferences a...

Anchor 2005

Flow tracking is an integral aspect of many network-related applications, including intrusion detection, network administration, per-flow billing, and network engineering. While some applications do not require precise tracking of every packet or flow and successfully employ statistical sampling or approximations to achieve an acceptable level of accuracy, many others, especially in the securit...
