Practical Mobile Proactive Secret Sharing
… is fixed. Mobile Proactive Secret Sharing (MPSS) is a new protocol with dynamic redistribution that can adapt to Byzantine faults and remain secure for the duration of long-lived systems. This thesis describes the simulation, testing, and evaluation of the MPSS protocol to better understand …

Adaptive Process Control for Achieving Consistent Mean Particles' States in Atmospheric Plasma Spray Process
… collectively called mean particles' states (MPSs), just before they impact the substrate. Here we use a science-based methodology to develop an adaptive controller for achieving consistent MPSs. We first identify inputs into the APSP that significantly affect the MPSs, and then formulate a …

Mobile Proactive secret sharing
… describes mobile proactive secret sharing (MPSS), an extension of proactive secret sharing. Mobile proactive secret sharing is much more flexible than proactive secret sharing in terms of group membership: instead of the group of shareholders being exactly the same from one epoch to the …

Performance and efficiency evaluation of logging contractors using data envelopment analysis
… For the sample, the most productive scale size (mpss) was estimated to be somewhere between 60,000 to 80,000 tons per year. Up to that size, increasing return to scales were observed, afterward decreasing returns to scale settled in. Approximately one quarter of all inefficiencies were scale …

A consumer assessment of household attitudes, awareness, drivers and likelihood of installing solar water heaters under a monthly payment scheme in Cape Town, South Africa
… an understanding of the nature and successes of MPSs in other SWH markets and industry environments. This paper uses case studies to examine successful MPSs in the US PV residential market and in Tunisia’s state-supported SWH program. In order to determine the likelihood of SWH adoption in Cape …

Innovative microphysiological systems for long-term real-time imaging in biomedicine
… is represented by microphysiological systems (MPSs), also noted as Organ on Chip (OoC) devices. This recent strategy tackles the primal issue mentioned above, which is at the very basis of our capabilities i) to understand patho-physiological processes and ii) screen more effective and specific …

Evalutating Biological Data Using Rank Correlation Methods
… Massively Parallel Signature Sequencing (MPSS) transcript abundance levels to microarray signal intensities for Arabidopsis thaliana are compared. Rank correlations can be applied to subsets as well as the entire set. Results of subset comparisons can be used to improve the capabilities of …

Testing A Brief Directive Intervention To Reduce Symptoms Associated With Trauma
… was the Modified PTSD Symptom Scale-Self Report (MPSS-SR; Falsetti, Resnick, Resick, & Kilpatrick, 1993) with a primary endpoint of 14-days post-treatment and 30-day follow-up for maintenance of symptom reductions. Multilevel mixed effects modeling was used to analyze results. Both treatment …

Neuropathologic characterization of a canine model of mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB and additional studies in anti-inflammatory therapy and neuroinflammatory kinetics
<p>The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a heterogenous group of lysosomal storage diseases that are designated MPS I through MPS IX (excluding MPS V and MPS VIII) that result in deficiencies in specific lysosomal enzymes that are responsible for the stepwise degradation of glycosaminoglycans …

Mechanisms of improvement following functional inhibition of neutrophil infiltration after spinal cord injury
… therapy of high dose methylprednisolone (MPSS).\r\nTo ensure that the new generation of devices used in experimental SCI can reliably produce an injury that parallels the outcomes seen in the clinical setting, we characterized a rodent model of SCI by adjusting several mechanical …

Identification and Characterization of In-planta Expressed Secreted Effector Proteins from Magnaporthe oryzae
… massively parallel signature sequencing (MPSS), and sequencing by synthesis (SBS), to examine transcriptome profiles of infected rice leaves. A total of 6,413 in-planta expressed fungal genes, including 851 genes encoding putative effector proteins, were identified. To elucidate the …

Psychological wellbeing and health-related quality of life among low-income women living with HIV/AIDS in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
… Scale of Perceived Social Support (MPSS). Information on social/contextual variables including income, marital status, employment status, number of children and number of family members in the household was obtained. Participants completed the Health Related Quality of Life Survey …
