With science and technology high on the agenda of the new US administration, scientists should welcome the opportunity to influence policy. However, few academic scientists seem to be noticing proposals posted for public comment on the Federal Register that concern the application of science to society.

In a similar manner, alert managers do more than recognize expected patterns in sales cycles, movements in supply chains, or yields in manufacturing. Successful managers are skillful at spotting exceptional events, identifying emerging fashions, and noticing what is missing. When problems develop, they take prompt action to keep plans on schedule. When novel trends emerge, they change plans to ...

This paper describes steganographic timing channels that use cryptographic primitives to hide the presence of covert channels in the timing of network traffic. We have identified two key properties for steganographic timing channels: (1) the parameters of the scheme should be cryptographically keyed, and (2) the distribution of input timings should be indistinguishable from output timings. Thes...

Here is a proof for the demeaning method used in lfe, and a description of the methods used for solving the residual equations. As well as a toy-example. This is a preliminary version of [3]. This method, formulated as the Gauss-Seidel algorithm, was noted in [4] without the author noticing it in the first version of this paper.

Dog bites represent a significant threat to child health. Theory-driven interventions scalable for broad dissemination are sparse. A website was developed to teach children dog safety via increased knowledge, improved cognitive skills in relevant domains, and increased perception of vulnerability to bites. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 69 children aged 4-5 randomly assigned t...

We present an inspectable learner model to prompt noticing in language learning, considering interaction preferences. Four patterns of model inspection were seen, but most students viewed the same information. Most improved their knowledge during a session, retaining knowledge in a one week delayed post-test.

In the current study on noticing as reasoning of Lesson Study (LS)-teams in initial teacher education (ITE), we analyzed two mixed LS-teams set up about pupils' subject-related learning of. Both teams consisted a student and experienced teachers. paid more attention to identification (describing pupils‘ behavior) planning elements (considering deciding how act) than interpretation (determining ...

Lattice-based reformulation techniques have been used successfully both theoretically and computationally. One such reformulation is obtained from the lattice kerZ(A) = {x ∈ Z | Ax = 0}. Some of the hard instances in the literature that have been successfully tackled by lattice-based techniques, such as market split and certain classes of knapsack instances, have randomly generated input A. The...
