This paper extends a safety analysis based on a multi-agent dynamic risk model (DRM) of a future mix mode taxiing into position and hold (TIPH) operation. The TIPH operation aims at placing an aircraft on the mixed mode runway, ready for immediate takeoff as soon as takeoff clearance has been issued by the air traffic controller. In the previous safety analysis, accident risk results were obtai...

Receptor-mediated internalization to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and subsequent retro-translocation to the cytosol are essential sequential processes required for the productive intoxication of susceptible mammalian cells by Shiga-like toxin-1 (SLTx). Recently, it has been proposed that the observed association of certain ER-directed toxins and viruses with detergent-resistant membranes (DRM...

INTRODUCTION HIV-1 genotypic resistance test (GRT) interpretation systems (IS) require updates as new studies on HIV-1 drug resistance are published and as treatment guidelines evolve. METHODS An expert panel was created to provide recommendations for the update of the Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database (HIVDB) GRT-IS. The panel was polled on the ARVs to be included in a GRT report, and th...

The work for this Master's Thesis has been done at TNO ITSEF bv. in Delft and at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. The project researches security of Digital Rights Management systems. I am impressed with the friendly, open atmosphere at TNO. This proved to be a stimulating work environment and I am grateful that I had the opportunity to do a large part of my work there. I would like to Sj...

Modern advancements in communication infrastructure, signal processing, and digital storage technologies have enabled pervasive digital media distribution. Digital distribution allows the introduction of flexible, cost-effective business models that are advantageous to multimedia commerce transactions. The digital nature of the information also enables individuals to manipulate, duplicate, or a...

In this paper, transmission rate enhancement schemes for DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale), which is a worldwide standard for digital AM and FM broadcasting in the AM and FM bands below 170 MHz, are presented and compared. The data rate of the legacy DRM system is supported up-to 186kbps with 16QAM and MLC (Multi-level Coding) at 100 kHz bandwidth. However, this rate is not sufficient to achieve new...

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a type of access-control technology that is used by diverse content providers to restrict the use of digital content. Enterprise Digital Rights Management (E-DRM) is an application of DRM techniques for managing the control of access to sensitive documents in an enterprise. In this paper, we propose a group key distribution system for E-DRM based on the concep...

OBJECTIVE Monitoring of healthcare-associated infection rates is important for infection control and hospital benchmarking. However, manual surveillance is time-consuming and susceptible to error. The aim was, therefore, to develop a prediction model to retrospectively detect drain-related meningitis (DRM), a frequently occurring nosocomial infection, using routinely collected data from a clini...
