B Cell Activation in Insulin Resistance and Obesity
(2011-07-21)Our group has demonstrated that inflammatory diseases such as type 2 diabetes (DM), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and periodontal disease (PD) are associated with altered B cell function that may contribute to disease ... -
Long-Range Fiber Transmission of Optical Vortices
(2011-07-21)We use specialty fiber (“vortex fiber”), to create and propagate orbital angular momentum states over ~kilometer lengths in telecom band (~1550nm). The spiral phase structure of the vortex beams was confirmed by interference ... -
Factorization in the Cloud: Integer Factorization Using F# and Windows Azure
(2011-07-21)Implementations are presented of two common algorithms for integer factorization, Pollard’s “p – 1” method and the SQUFOF method. The algorithms are implemented in the F# language, a functional programming language developed ... -
Asynchronous Auction for Distributed Nonlinear Resource Allocation Problem
(2011-07-21)Resource Allocation Problems (RAPs) are concerned with the optimal allocation of resources to tasks. Problems in fields such as search theory, statistics, finance, economics, logistics, sensor & wireless networks fit this ... -
Pricing Algorithms For a Two-sided Internet Advertisement Market
(2011-07-21)The Google AdSense Program is a successful internet advertisement program where Google places contextual adverts on third-party websites and shares the resulting revenue with each publisher. Advertisers have budgets and ... -
Large Decrease of Fluctuations for Supercooled Water in Hydrophobic Nanoconfinement
(2011-07-21)Using Monte Carlo simulations we study a coarsegrained model of a water layer confined in a fixed disordered matrix of hydrophobic nanoparticles at different particle concentrations c. For c = 0 we find a 1st order ... -
X-ray Diffraction Tomographic Imaging and Reconstruction
(2011-07-21)Material discrimination based on conventional or dual energy X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging can be ambiguous. X-ray diffraction imaging (XDI) can be used to construct diffraction profiles of objects, providing new ... -
Priority-Based Synchronization of Distributed Data
(2011-07-21)We consider the general problem of synchronizing the data on two devices using a minimum amount of communication, a core infrastructural requirement for a large variety of distributed systems. Our approach considers the ... -
Assessing the Oral Health Needs of Public Housing Residents
(2011-07-21)Objectives: “Tooth Smart Healthy Start” is a randomized clinical trial which aims to reduce the incidence of early childhood caries (ECC) in Boston public housing residents as part of the NIH funded Northeast Center for ... -
Camera Canvas: Image Editing Software for People with Disabilities
(2011-07-21)We developed Camera Canvas, photo editing and picture drawing software for individuals who cannot use their hands to operate a computer mouse. Camera Canvas is designed for use with camera- based mouse-replacement interfaces ...
