In the past two decades, the advancement in data collection and storage have led to the accumulation of complex datasets. Consequently, various industries have sought data-driven solutions to predict and detect anomalies. Temporal patterns have emerged as potential features in prediction models that could improve the performance of the identification...
Data centers (DCs) have been witnessing unprecedented growth in size, number and complexity in recent years. They consist of tens of thousands of servers interconnected by fast network switches, hosting and enabling numerous applications with various traffic characteristics and requirements. As a result, DC networks have been presented with several...
Increased globalization has greatly increased the ability for species to travel outside of their native range and reach all parts of the world. While most species do not have an impact in new habitats, a small percentage are able to establish a new population and spread, causing ecological damage and...
Life on Earth intimately depends on the function of countless proteins. For the majority of studied proteins, function absolutely depends on conformation (i.e. 3-dimensional shape in solution). The exact nature of how a protein goes from an unfolded linear polypeptide chain to an organized folded molecule is still not known,...
The first reported observation of hemoglobin association
with a plasma protein was made by Polonovski and
Jayle in 1938. Since that time, countless investigators
have contributed to the characterization of the hemoglobin-
binding plasma protein, haptoglobin. Haptoglobins
have been found in many mammals, including humans and in
various birds. However,...
The field of accounting has experienced dramatic changes in the past 20 years. Advances in technology and workplace requirements have changed the responsibilities in the accounting position of a historical recorder to a functioning manager within the organization. The curriculum used by accounting instructors has not changed or kept pace...
The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) model
of chemical carcinogenesis is becoming increasingly
important as a supplement to rodent studies. However,
much of the molecular biology of the carcinogenic
response is still unknown in the trout model. The ras
gene family has been implicated in the tumorigenesis of
both spontaneous and...
This exploratory study was undertaken to determine the combined
effects which two rather unique approaches in the fields of counseling
and psychotherapy might have on the behavior and academic achievement
of ten selected deviant high school students. These approaches have
been termed the 1) self-consistency approach to behavior change and...
The first purpose of this study was to determine if the
effects of experiencing an assertiveness treatment group
influenced the perceived attitudes toward sex roles in
alcoholic women in aftercare. It was expected that
alcoholic women in aftercare who had received an
assertiveness group intervention, with an emphasis on
awareness...
