Website fingerprinting attacks allow a local, passive eavesdropper to identify a web browsing client’s destination web page by extracting noticeable and unique features from her traffic. Such attacks magnify the gap between privacy and security — a client who encrypts her communication traffic may still have her browsing behaviour exposed to lowcost eavesdropping. Previous authors have shown th...

Assessment and control of Fc functionality during biotherapeutic antibody development and manufacturing is essential as receptor binding is linked to the safety and efficacy of the final drug. Typically, cell-based assays (such as ADCC, ADCP, and CDC) and/or surrogate binding assays are used for routine monitoring or characterization of the Fc functionality. The use of Biacore ligand-binding as...

BACKGROUND A prospective cohort study was set up to investigate a possible association between antibiotic prescribing and antibiotic resistance of E. coli urinary tract infection in the community. Participation of patients with urinary tract infection was obtained through an opt-out methodology. This short paper reports on the acceptability of the opt-out recruitment approach. METHODS Partici...

JCO/DECEMBER 2005 T lingual technique is considered to be one of the most difficult, requiring extended treatment times and often achieving less-than-satisfactory results. Firstand third-order tooth movements are complicated by the variable lingual tooth anatomy.1 Torque control is also more problematic; with the reduced interbracket distance, even small variations in bracket height can have a ...

RDC: With the huge amount of draft sequence now available, we have seen increased use of the bioinformatics tools already on offer from the HGMP-RC, such as NIX and PIX. NIX is a suite of programs for database screening by BLAST, repeat masking and exon prediction for the identification of genes from genomic sequences. PIX is a protein equivalent of NIX, with BLAST searches, programs for domain...
