Research integrity: Cell-induced stress

Stress-Induced Hyperthermia in Translational Stress Research

The stress-induced hyperthermia (SIH) response is the transient change in body temperature in response to acute stress. This body temperature response is part of the autonomic stress response which also results in tachycardia and an increased blood pressure. So far, a SIH response has been found in a variety of species (including rodents, baboons, turtles, pigs, impalas and chimpanzees), and th...

Mobile Agents Integrity Research

Mobile agents are an important technology in e-commerce systems and offer new possibilities for the e-commerce applications. This paper examines some mobile agent integrity protocols and proposes a new protecting protocol of mobile agent integrity. It can defend most known attacks, provides encryption transmission and route secrecy of mobile agents.

Professional integrity in clinical research.

In response to public concern over abuses in human medical experimentation, the dominant approach to the ethics of clinical research during the past 30 years has been regulation, particularly via institutional review board review and approval of scientific protocols and written consent forms. However, the effectiveness of regulatory mechanisms in ensuring the ethical conduct of clinical researc...

Research and scientific publication integrity.

Scientific integrity in research methods

Recent cases of research misconduct have prompted psychologists to suggest that there is too much vulnerability in the research process (e.g., Simmons et al., 2011; Pashler and Harris, 2012). Regardless of whether this is the case, ensuring the integrity of a discipline requires a clear understanding of what conventions and norms define the research process. In what follows, I consider the rese...
