During the 24-hour period ending 1230 GMT May 13, 1957 moderate to heavy convective-type rain occurrecl over a large portion of north central Texas. In consideration of the type of prec.ipitation, amounts were not unusually large, ranging from 1 to 5 inches (fig. 1). However, the most interesting feature was that the rainfall area was well organized and locat,ed in an area where the surface is...

Corneal Confocal Microscopy (CCM) imaging is a non-invasive surrogate of detecting, quantifying and monitoring diabetic peripheral neuropathy. This paper presents an automated method for detecting nerve-fibres from CCM images using a dual-model detection algorithm and compares the performance to well-established texture and feature detection methods. The algorithm comprises two separate models,...

While the diagonalization of a quadratic bosonic form can always be done using a Bogoliubov transformation, the practical implementation for systems with a large number of different bosons is a tedious analytical task. Here we use the coupled cluster method (CCM) to exactly diagonalise such complicated quadratic forms. This yields to a straightforward algorithm which can easily be implemented u...

This paper discusses a possible FPGA implementation of the AES algorithm specifically for the use in CCM Mode Encryption. CCM Mode encryption is a proposed standard to be used and the security backbone behind the new IEEE Std. 802.11i. CCM currently spends most the computation power performing the AES algorithm. This paper investigate the possibility of creating an off-chip AES system for CCM s...

Background Community health worker (CHW) interventions to manage childhood illness is a strategy promoted by the global health community which involves training and supporting CHW to assess, classify and treat sick children at home, using an algorithm adapted from the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI). To inform CHW policy, the Government of Tanzania launched a program in ...

Transcription of the plasmid-borne phenol catabolic operon pheBA in Pseudomonas putida is activated by the LysR-family regulator CatR in the presence of the effector molecule cis,cis-muconate (CCM), which is an intermediate of the phenol degradation pathway. In addition to the positive control of the operon, several factors negatively affect transcription initiation from the pheBA promoter. Fir...

CCM/CCMP is a two-cycle authenticate and encrypt (AE) mode. One cycle is used to perform confidentiality computations, and the second cycle is used to compute authenticity and integrity. CCM/CCMP is also a generic composition. CCM/CCMP is actually made up of two separate modes, CBC-MAC and AES counter mode amalgamated together. Although CCM/CCMP is an AE mode, it is not an authenticated encrypt...

Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) are frequent vascular abnormalities caused by mutations in one of the CCM genes. CCM1 (also known as KRIT1) stabilizes endothelial junctions and is essential for vascular morphogenesis in mouse embryos. However, cellular functions of CCM1 during the early steps of the CCM pathogenesis remain unknown. We show here that CCM1 represents an antiangiogenic prot...
