The DAMA collaboration have claimed to detect particle dark matter (DM) via an annual modulation in their observed recoil event rate. This appears to be in strong disagreement with the null results of other experiments if interpreted in terms of elastic DM scattering, while agreement for a small region of parameter space is possible for inelastic DM (iDM) due to the altered kinematics of the co...

Chalcone and stilbene synthases (CHS and STS) catalyze condensation reactions of p-coumaroyl-CoA and three C(2)-units from malonyl-CoA, but catalyze different cyclization reactions to produce naringenin chalcone and resveratrol, respectively. Condensing activities of wild-type CHS and STS as well as STS-C60S mutant were inhibited by iodoacetamide (Idm) and diethyl pyrophosphate (DPC). DPC also ...

Intrusion detection system (IDS) is a system that gathers and analyzes information from various areas within a computer or a network to identify attacks made against these components. This research proposed an Intrusion Detection Model (IDM) for detection intrusion attempts, the proposal is a hybrid IDM because it considers both features of network packets and host features that are sensitive t...

BACKGROUND Careful patient-clinician shared decision-making about dialysis initiation has been promoted, but few studies have addressed patient perspectives on the extent of information provided and how decisions to start dialysis are made. METHODS Ninety-nine maintenance dialysis patients recruited from 15 outpatient dialysis centers in North Carolina completed semistructured interviews on i...

The DFM (design for manufacturing) methods are used during technology alignment and adoption processes in the semiconductor industry (SI) for manufacturability and yield assessments. These methods have worked well till 250nm technology for the transformation of systematic variations into rules and/or models based on the single-source data analyses, but beyond this technology they have turned in...

This paper proposes an improved intelligent driver model (IDM) by considering the information of multiple front and rear vehicles to describe car-following behaviour CAVs (Connected autonomous vehicles). The involves velocity acceleration as well difference headway between host vehicle its surrounding vehicles. By introducing location-related parameters, quantitatively expresses change in influ...

Background: Black men are disproportionately impacted by prostate cancer (PrCa). Current guidelines recommend that all make informed decisions about whether to be screened for PrCa. Little is known the barriers and facilitators of decision-making (IDM) PrCa screening in men. Methods: We conducted focus groups with a convenience sample aged 55 69 years from primary care practic...
