Drm/Gremlin and Dan, two homologous secreted antagonists of bone morphogenic proteins, have been shown to regulate early development, tumorigenesis, and renal pathophysiology. In this study, we report that Drm and Dan physically and functionally interact with Slit1 and Slit2 proteins. Drm binding to Slits depends on its glycosylation and is not interfered with by bone morphogenic proteins. Impo...

An INDICARE-interview with Arnoud de Kemp about DRM in scientific publishing marks the start of this issue; six contributions related to the entertainment business follow: the fight against "piracy" is dealt with in an INDICARE-interview with Tim Kuik (BREIN Bescherming Rechten Entertainment Industrie Nederland), the successful fight of consumers for their rights is exemplified by a decision of...

Digital transactions are usually based on mutual trust. In case of DRM (Digital Rights Management) this initial trust is missing on both sides. Neither do the content providers trust their clients – therefore DRM was established. Nor do the clients trust the content providers and react with not using these systems. The release of an open DRM standard by the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) was a firs...

HEK293 cell detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) isolated by the standard homogenization protocol employing a Teflon pestle homogenizer yielded a prominent opaque band at approximately 16% sucrose upon density gradient ultracentrifugation. In contrast, cell disruption using a ground glass tissue homogenizer generated three distinct DRM populations migrating at approximately 10%, 14%, and 20% su...

The decrease of privacy caused by Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a serious issue, since it slows down the adoption by the consumers of DRM technologies at a time when a very large adoption is needed to win the fight against piracy. This article presents two outlines of solutions that are expected to allow the fight against piracy and the respect of privacy to coexist. The first solution con...

The paper describes experiences, ideas, and problems that were discovered while developing a DRM extension to X-Smiles XML browser as a part of Helsinki Institute for Information Technology’s MobileIPR research project. The project succeeded in implementing a piece of software capable of demonstrating the most important DRM features. The most significant implemented features are restrictions re...

In this article we present the results of partitioning the OFDM baseband processing of a DRM receiver into smaller independent processes. Furthermore, we give a short introduction into the relevant parts of the DRM standard. Based on the number of multiplications and additions we can map individual processes on a heterogeneous multitile architecture. This architecture can meet both the computat...

Research on false memories has extensively used the recognition and recollection of lists of semantically associated words, called the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm. In the DRM procedure, the measure of accuracy/errors is usually the main dependent variable. In this paper we review research that integrated reaction time measures into the DRM paradigm and discuss the future contributio...

Digital Rights Management (DRM) schemes are receiving increased attention in the healthcare domain for the protection of sensitive health records as they offer security against insider attacks and advance protection features such as usage control. However, to be accepted by health care providers, a DRM solution has to fulfill specific healthcare requirements including emergency access. In this ...

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a technology that is being developed as a protection against the illegal distribution of copyrighted online material such as music or documents. DRM is a technology that lets rights holders safely distribute and sell their content online in a digital form. Different security mechanisms using DRM are introduced: EMMS by IBM Corp., Rights System by InterTrust Co...
