Highly Variable Dietary RNAi Sensitivity Among Coleoptera [PDF]
Many herbivorous beetles (Order Coleoptera) contribute to serious losses in crop yields and forest trees, and plant biotechnology solutions are being developed with the hope of limiting these losses. Due to the unprecedented target-specificity of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), and its utility in inducing RNA interference (RNAi) when consumed by target ...

Scrambling Reports: New Estimators for Estimating the Population Mean of Sensitive Variables
Warner proposed a methodology called randomized response techniques, which, through the random scrambling of sensitive variables, allows the non-response rate to be reduced and the response bias to be diminished. In this document, we present a randomized

Learning fair prediction models with an imputed sensitive variable: Empirical studies
As AI has a wide range of influence on human social life, issues of transparency and ethics of AI are emerging. In particular, it is widely known that due to the existence of historical bias in data against ethics or regulatory frameworks for fairness ...

Modulo-variable expansion sensitive scheduling [PDF]
Modulo scheduling is an aggressive scheduling technique for loops that exploit instruction-level parallelism by overlapping successive iterations of the loop. Due to the nature of modulo scheduling, the lifetime of a variable can overlap with a subsequent definition of itself.

Advances in Estimation of Sensitive Issues on Successive Occasions
Surveys related to sensitive issues are accompanied with social desirability response bias which flaw the validity of analysis. This problem became serious when sensitive issues are estimated on successive occasions.

Variably protease‐sensitive prionopathy mimicking frontotemporal dementia [PDF]
Sporadic prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders characterized clinically by rapidly progressive dementia and myoclonus. Variably protease‐sensitive prionopathy (VPSPr) is a recently identified sporadic human prion disorder that may present with a lengthy atypical clinical history. Here, we describe a case of VPSPr in a patient with a long

Generalizing Permissive-Upgrade in Dynamic Information Flow Analysis [PDF]
Preventing implicit information flows by dynamic program analysis requires coarse approximations that result in false positives, because a dynamic monitor sees only the executed trace of the program. One widely deployed method is the no-sensitive-upgrade

The time squares sequences: a new task for assessing visuospatial working memory
IntroductionSeveral studies have shown that the working memory is sensitive to temporal variations. We used a new visuospatial working memory task, the “Time Squares Sequences,” to investigate whether implicit variations in stimuli presentation time ...
