When two kinases are better than one V idal-Eychenié et al. describe how two protein kinases team up to respond to DNA damage at stalled replication forks. DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) promotes the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). The ATR kinase, on the other hand, initiates cell cycle arrest and DNA repair after recogni...

We study the problem of learning k-juntas given access to examples drawn from a number of different product distributions. Thus we wish to learn a function f : {−1, 1}n → {−1, 1} that depends on k (unknown) coordinates. While the best known algorithms for the general problem of learning a k-junta require running time of n poly(n, 2), we show that given access to k different product distribution...

In this paper we compare three schemes proposed for error recovery for real-time multimedia applications: media-dependent forward error correction (MD-FEC) proposed for real-time audio, media-independent forward error correction (MI-FEC) proposed for real-time video and the recently re-discovered multiple description coding (MDC). We provide a detailed queueing analysis for these schemes consid...

Three newly discovered species of fig-living nematodes display remarkable diversity in head morphology depending on their local environment. This shows that a great deal of ecological diversity can be maintained in the absence of substantial genetic variation.

Four different participants constructed face composites, using “PRO-Fit”, of familiar and unfamiliar targets, with reference images present or from memory. The "mean" of all four composites, created by morphing (4-Morph) was rated as a better likeness than individual composites on average, and was as good as the best individual likeness. When participants attempted to identify targets from line...

Social network platforms have transformed how people communicate and share information. However, as these platforms have evolved, the ability for users to control how and with whom information is being shared introduces challenges concerning the configuration and comprehension of privacy settings. To address these concerns, our crowd sourced approach simplifies the understanding of privacy sett...
