Breaking the $f+1$ Barrier: Executing Payment Transactions in Parallel with Less than $f+1$ Validations [PDF]
We consider the problem of supporting payment transactions in an asynchronous system in which up to $f$ validators are subject to Byzantine failures under the control of an adaptive adversary. It was shown that this problem can be solved without consensus by using byzantine quorum systems (requiring at least $2f+1$ validations per transaction in ...

Recognizing, quantifying and visualizing associations between two variables is increasingly important. This paper investigates how a new function-valued measure of dependence, the quantile dependence function, can be used to construct tests for independence and to provide an easily interpretable diagnostic plot of existing departures from the null ...

Combining melting curve analysis enhances the multiplexing capability of digital PCR. Here, we developed a 14‐plex assay to simultaneously measure single nucleotide mutations and amplifications of KRAS and GNAS, which are common driver genes in pancreatic cancer precursors. This assay accurately quantified variant allele frequencies in clinical samples

Ecological Validity of Performance Validity Testing [PDF]
Performance validity tests (PVTs) have been shown to relate to neuropsychological performance, but no studies have looked at the ecological validity of these measures. Data from 131 veterans with a history of mild traumatic brain injury from a multicenter Veterans Administration consortium were examined to determine the relation between scores on a ...

We identified adaptor protein ShcD as upregulated in triple‐negative breast cancer and found its expression to be correlated with reduced patient survival and increased invasion in cell models. Using a proteomic screen, we identified novel ShcD binding partners involved in EGFR signaling pathways.
