introduction: a large body of experimental evidence supports a role for oxidative stress as a mediator of nerve cell death in parkinson's disease (pd). flavonoids like quercetin have been reported to prevent neuronal degeneration caused by increased oxidative burden, therefore, this study examined whether quercetin administration at a high dose would attenuate behavioral abnormalities in e...

In the domain of Genetic Deafness in medicine, it is important to detect some patterns. Medical doctors needs to search and deal with information from diverse sources and it is important to be able to cross information between sources. As part of a solution, one approach to minimize the impact of this lack and increase the success of the retrieval process crossing diverse sources of information...

In this ongoing work we perform the first systematic investigation of cross-platform (X-platform) malware. As a first step, this paper presents an exploration into existing X-platform malware families and X-platform vulnerabilities used to distribute them. Our exploration shows that Xplatform malware uses a wealth of methods to achieve portability. It also shows that exploits for X-platform vul...

In write-once memory (e.g., Flash), a cell’s level can only be raised, and erasure is only in bulk. The total number of erasures (endurance) is limited, and drops sharply with technology shrinkage and with cell-capacity increase. The normalized write capacity (ratio of total amount of data that can be written to storage capacity) drops similarly. Various coding schemes enable overwrites at the ...

With the rise of portal sites for image-file download of musical scores, the electronic distribution of musical scores, an activity in progress of 15 years, has attracted increased attention. We describe several data models for score distribution and emphasize the one used in the MuseData archive of musical data (1984–). This archive (containing substantial quantities of the music of Bach, Hand...
