  • Power, Law and Blood: Sources of Patriarchy in the Middle East
    Lindholm, Charles (2013-02-12)
  • A Pragmatic Approach to DHT Adoption
    Considine, Jeffrey; Walfish, Michael; Anderson, David G. (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2003-12-01)
    Despite the peer-to-peer community's obvious wish to have its systems adopted, specific mechanisms to facilitate incremental adoption have not yet received the same level of attention as the many other practical concerns ...
  • Preattentive Texture Segmentation and Grouping by the Boundary Contour System
    Cruthirds, Dan; Gove, Alan; Grossberg, Stephen; Mingolla, Ennio (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1991-02)
    An improved Boundary Contour System (BCS) neural network model of preattentive vision is applied to two images that produce strong "pop-out" of emergent groupings in humans. In humans these images generate groupings collinear ...
  • Pre-Bilaterian Origins of the Hox Cluster and the Hox Code: Evidence from the Sea Anemone, Nematostella Vectensis
    Ryan, Joseph F.; Mazza, Maureen E.; Pang, Kevin; Matus, David Q.; Baxevanis, Andreas D.; Martindale, Mark Q.; Finnerty, John R. (Public Library of Science, 2007-1-24)
    BACKGROUND. Hox genes were critical to many morphological innovations of bilaterian animals. However, early Hox evolution remains obscure. Phylogenetic, developmental, and genomic analyses on the cnidarian sea anemone ...
  • PreDA: Predicate Routing for DTN Architectures over MANET
    Esposito, Flavio; Matta, Ibrahim (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2009-03-31)
    We consider a Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) whose users (nodes) are connected by an underlying Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) substrate. Users can declaratively express high-level policy constraints on how “content” should ...
  • Predicting Eukaryotic Transcriptional Cooperativity by Bayesian Network Integration of Genome-Wide Data
    Wang, Yong; Zhang, Xiang-Sun; Xia, Yu (2009-10)
    Transcriptional cooperativity among several transcription factors (TFs) is believed to be the main mechanism of complexity and precision in transcriptional regulatory programs. Here, we present a Bayesian network framework ...
  • Preferential Field Coverage Through Detour-Based Mobility Coordination
    Morcos, Hany; Bestavros, Azer; Matta, Ibrahim (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2009-03-30)
    Controlling the mobility pattern of mobile nodes (e.g., robots) to monitor a given field is a well-studied problem in sensor networks. In this setup, absolute control over the nodes’ mobility is assumed. Apart from the ...
  • A Prefetching Protocol Using Client Speculation for the WWW
    Bestavros, Azer; Cunha, Carlos (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1995-04-28)
    The growing traffic of WWW related services requires the development of efficient protocols for reducing traffic, balancing load, and improving service time. One way of achieving these effects is via caching or replication. ...
  • Preserving Bandwidth Using A Lazy Packet Discard Policy in ATM Networks
    Kim, Gitae; Bestavros, Azer (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1998-02-09)
    A number of recent studies have pointed out that TCP's performance over ATM networks tends to suffer, especially under congestion and switch buffer limitations. Switch-level enhancements and link-level flow control have ...
  • Priming of Pop-Out Does not Affect the Shooting Line Illusion
    Gancarz, Gregory; Wolfe, Jeremy (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1996-04)
    We combined a shooting-line illusion with a visual search pop-out task in an effort to determine whether priming of pop-out was due to acceleratcd processing of visual information in the primed dimension. While the priming ...
  • Principality and Decidable Type Inference for Finite-Rank Intersection Types
    Kfoury, A.J.; Wells, J.B. (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1998-11-06)
    Principality of typings is the property that for each typable term, there is a typing from which all other typings are obtained via some set of operations. Type inference is the problem of finding a typing for a given term, ...
  • Principles of Cortical Synchronization
    Grossberg, Stephen (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1997-12)
  • Principles of Safe Policy Routing Dynamics
    Epstein, Samuel; Mattar, Karim; Matta, Ibrahim (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2009-04-21)
    We introduce the Dynamic Policy Routing (DPR) model that captures the propagation of route updates under arbitrary changes in topology or path preferences. DPR introduces the notion of causation chains where the route flap ...
  • Probabilistic Protein Function Prediction from Heterogeneous Genome-Wide Data
    Nariai, Naoki; Kolaczyk, Eric D.; Kasif, Simon (Public Library of Science, 2007-3-28)
    Dramatic improvements in high throughput sequencing technologies have led to a staggering growth in the number of predicted genes. However, a large fraction of these newly discovered genes do not have a functional assignment. ...
