BACKGROUND Serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels are used clinically to evaluate infertility, pituitary and gonadal disorders. With increased frequency of research collaborations across institutions, it is essential that inter-laboratory validation is addressed. METHODS An inter-laboratory validation of three commercial FSH immunoassays was performed with human serum samples of vary...

The absence of guns from children’s homes and communities is the most reliable and effective measure to prevent firearm-related injuries in children and adolescents. Adolescent suicide risk is strongly associated with firearm availability. Safe gun storage (guns unloaded and locked, ammunition locked separately) reduces children’s risk of injury. Physician counseling of parents about firearm sa...

To harvest increasing levels of ILP while maintaining a fast clock, clustered microarchitectures have been proposed. However, the fast clock enabled by clustering comes at the cost of multiple cycles to communicate values among clusters. A chief performance limiter of a clustered microarchitecture is inter-cluster communication between instructions. Specifically, inter-cluster communication bet...

This paper considers the problem of secure storage of outsourced data in a way that permits deduplication. We are for the first time able to provide privacy for messages that are both correlated and dependent on the public system parameters. The new ingredient that makes this possible is interaction. We extend the message-locked encryption (MLE) primitive of prior work to interactive message-lo...
