Using decoys to block SPIT in the IMS
In recent years, studies have shown that 80-85% of e-mails sent were spam. Another form of spam that has just surfaced is VoIP (Voice over Internet Telephony) spam. Currently, VoIP has seen an increasing numbers of users due to the cheap rates. With the introduction of the IMS (IP Multimedia …

Using Decoys as a Resiliency Mechanism in Spectrally Harsh DSA Environments
As wireless communication mediums develop and Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) is implemented as a means to increase capacity on a limited spectrum, the threat of reactive interference becomes real. The motivation for this thesis is to address this problem by suggesting a mechanism which could be used …

IL-1 activation of NF-kB contributes to perinatal hypoxia/ischemia induced cell death
… of Bcl-3. \r\nInhibition of NF-kB via decoys containing NF-kB binding consensus sequences present in IgG-kB promoter showed specific inhibition of p65/p50 binding activity, while Bcl-x decoys specifically inhibited c-Rel/p50 (p52) binding activity. RPAs showed that IgG-kB decoys …

Design and Analysis of Decoy Systems for Computer Security
… in each context where a system is threatened, decoys can be used to deny critical information to adversaries making it harder for them to achieve their target goal. The approach leverages deception and the use of decoy technologies to deceive adversaries and trap nefarious acts. This …

Complexity of transcription factor target search: effect of DNA natural decoys and DNA methylation through interplay with methyl-CpG-binding proteins on transcription factor DNA association
… These sequences potentially serve as natural decoys that sequester transcription factors. The impact that these decoys have on transcription factor target search is largely unknown, and various factors such as methylation, other DNA binding proteins, and side chain dynamics of individual …

Ballistic missile tracking using the interacting multiple model joint probabilistic data association filter
… to discriminate between legitimate threats and decoys is a crucial requirement for interceptor algorithms. The feasibility of the interacting multiple model joint probabilistic data association filter to effectively track a ballistic missile and detect decoys and maneuvers is the focus of this …

A regulatory role for repeated decoy transcription factor binding sites in target gene expression
… A possible mechanism is that TRs serve as TF decoys, competing with a promoter for TF binding. We utilized a synthetic system in budding yeast to examine if repeated binding sites serve as decoys, and alter the expression of genes regulated by the sequestered TF. Combining experiments with …

Computational insights into multivalently binding polymers
… for two applications: multivalent polymers as decoys to inhibit infection and polymers as scaffolds for biocondensates.

DRONE SWARMING TACTICS IN A CONTESTED ENVIRONMENT
… lethal-heavy drone compositions supported by decoys rather than sheer swarm size.

White shark cage diving in South Africa: a critical assessment of South Africa's regulatory framework
… cages, tour operators often use chum, bait, or decoys, which interferes with the natural habits of marine wildlife. These practices have great potential to adversely impact animals and the marine environment, with unknown long-term consequences. Globally, South Africa has the most extensive WSCD …

Behavioural interactions and reasons for aggression between Australian magpies (Gymnorhina tibicen) and other birds in New Zealand
… using live magpie and pigeon (Columbus livia) decoys. The magpie decoy was presented to subjects for 30min and then covered and aggressive responses toward the pigeon decoy by residents were recorded for a further 30min (Treatment l ). Two other experimental conditions were presented on each …

A Novel Statistical Potential for Protein Beta-Sheets Prediction
… performance on native structure recognition from decoys comparing to the Beta-sheet specific potentials in literature. We will apply the potential to improve the prediction of Beta-strand arrangement and registration for beta proteins.

Biomolecular ligand design : enhancing binding affinity and specificity utilizing electrostatic charge optimization and packing techniques
… aspartyl proteases pepsin and cathepsin D as decoys that may help to elucidate principles for designing more selective inhibitors.

High-accuracy distributed sensor time-space-position information system for captive-carry field experiments
… of any electronic attack or off- board decoys that might have been launched during the field test scenario. The induced INS, GPS and sensor noise and the corresponding errors due to the integration process are evaluated numerically as a function of the weapon system being used.

Computer-Aided Drug Discovery for Helicobacter pylori
… a library of known actives and DUD-E generated decoys through enrichment. The validated model provided an AU-ROC of 0.92 and was used to determine a threshold for selecting molecules for biological evaluation. After previous success using our docking protocol, we screened the St. Jude Chemical …

Control of Inflammation Using Drug Delivery Strategies in in vitro Models
… signals. </p> <p> Transcription factor decoys (TFD) are small nucleic acid sequences (~20 base pairs) that mimic the binding site for the TF on the native DNA, but do not encode for any proteins. By binding to the TF in the cytoplasm, TFD have potential to limit excessive immune …

Strategies of Resistance in Post-Fordism: A Feminist Performance Perspective, Over-identification with Benign Evil
… and regressive gender politics, led by ‘sexual decoys’ (Eisenstein, 2007). In my practice, I perform and record political speeches which I circulate online; I also hold live talks and presentations where I introduce utopian performance improving technologies that replace the physical female body …

Towards Effective Masquerade Attack Detection
… of decoy documents and to determine how decoys should be strategically deployed in a file system in order to maximize their masquerade detection ability. Our user study results show that effective deployment of decoys allows for the detection of all masquerade activity within ten minutes …

Dopamine Uptake Inhibition Potency Fluctuations of Cocaine at the Dopamine Transporter
… N- or C-terminal fragments, which would act as decoys by intercepting DAT modulators, showed that the DAT N- or C-terminal interactions with intracellular proteins do not appear to be responsible for the DUIP shift. The role of phosphorylation state changes of DAT in DUIP fluctuations was also …

Quantification of microRNA regulation and its consequences at the single cell level
… Finally we applied the reporter system as miRNA decoys to study miRNA-mediated- crosstalk. We also propose that the reporter systems could be used to study alternative polyadenylation, which is usually accompanied by consequential loss of MREs.
