In 1996, an interactive educational diabetes simulator called AIDA was released without charge on the Internet as a noncommercial contribution to continuing diabetes education. Over the past 5 years, over 100,000 people have visited the AIDA Web pages at http://www.2aida.org and over 25,000 copies of the program have been downloaded free-of-charge. Previous Diabetes Information Technology & Web...

In this paper, we propose a superior technique for distributed time-critical communication using AIDA, a novel elaboration on Michael O. Rabin's IDA 19]. We show that using a small dynamically-controlled amount of redundancy, stringent timing constraints imposed on periodic as well as sporadic communication requests in a distributed real-time system can be fulllled up to any degree of conndence...

Autotransporters deliver virulence factors to the bacterial surface by translocating an effector passenger domain through a membrane-anchored barrel structure. Although passenger domains are diverse, those found in enteric bacteria autotransporters, including AIDA-I in diffusely adhering Escherichia coli (DAEC) and TibA in enterotoxigenic E. coli, are commonly glycosylated. We show that AIDA-I ...

The current model for autodisplay suggests a mechanism that allows a passenger protein to be translocated across the outer membrane by coordinate action of a C-terminal beta-barrel and its preceding linking region. The passenger protein, linker, and beta-barrel are together termed the autotransporter, while the linker and beta-barrel are here referred to as the translocation unit (TU). We chara...

In the present study we examined the effects of 1-aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid (AIDA), regarded as a selective and competitive mGluR1 antagonist, in animal models of anxiety. Diazepam (1-10 mg/kg) was used as a reference drug. After intraperitoneal administration, AIDA (0.5-2 mg/kg) produced anxiolytic-like effects in the conflict drinking test and the elevated plus-maze test in rats; howev...

This paper describes the Advanced Image Display Architecture, AIDA. The primary aims were to design a graphics display subsystem capable of satisfying the needs of both high performance workstations and vehicle simulator visual systems. AIDA can accept planar triangle primitives which have been transformed, clipped and projected by preceding stages. The system implements many desirable features...

We present AIDA, a framework and online tool for entity detection and disambiguation. Given a natural-language text or a Web table, we map mentions of ambiguous names onto canonical entities like people or places, registered in a knowledge base like DBpedia, Freebase, or YAGO. AIDA is a robust framework centred around collective disambiguation exploiting the prominence of entities, similarity b...

This software is currently used by several experiments and collaborations, BaBar, GLAST, and Geant4. Experience of using AIDATLD, JAIDA, and JAS3 in experiments, as well as description of new developments will be presented in the paper. 1. FreeHEP library Items discussed in this paper are all part of the FreeHEP Java Library, which is mostly written in Java and groups together open-source utili...

BACKGROUND In the revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), "Identity" is an essential diagnostic criterion for personality disorders (self-related personality functioning) in the alternative approach to the diagnosis of personality disorders in Section III of DSM-5. Integrating a broad range of established identity concepts, AIDA (Assessment of Identity Development in Adolesce...

The Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment (AIDA) mission will be the first space experiment to demonstrate asteroid impact hazard mitigation by using a kinetic impactor to deflect an asteroid. AIDA is an international cooperation entering Phase A study at NASA and ESA, consisting of two mission elements: the NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission and the ESA Asteroid Impact Mi...
