Assurance Cases For Security: The Metrics Challenge, Robin Bloomfield, Marcelo Masera, Ann K. Miller, O. Sami Saydjari, Charles B. Weinstock

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

For critical systems it is important to know whether the system is trustworthy and to be able to communicate, review and debate the level of trust achieved. in the safety domain, explicit Safety Cases are increasingly required by law, regulations and standards. Yet the need to understand risks is not just a safety issue and the type of argumentation used for safety cases is not specific to safety alone. Prior workshops, beginning with one held at DSN 2004, have identified a number of technical, policy and research challenges. the focus of this workshop is on one of these challenges: metrics …

Energy-Constrained Recharge, Assimilation, And Fractional Crystallization (Ec-Raxfc): A Visual Basic Computer Code For Calculating Trace Element And Isotope Variations Of Opensystem Magmatic Systems, Wendy A. Bohrson, Frank J. Spera Nov 2007

Energy-Constrained Recharge, Assimilation, And Fractional Crystallization (Ec-Raxfc): A Visual Basic Computer Code For Calculating Trace Element And Isotope Variations Of Opensystem Magmatic Systems, Wendy A. Bohrson, Frank J. Spera

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

Volcanic and plutonic rocks provide abundant evidence for complex processes that occur in magma storage and transport systems. The fingerprint of these processes, which include fractional crystallization, assimilation, and magma recharge, is captured in petrologic and geochemical characteristics of suites of cogenetic rocks. Quantitatively evaluating the relative contributions of each process requires integration of mass, species, and energy constraints, applied in a self-consistent way. The energy-constrained model Energy-Constrained Recharge, Assimilation, and Fractional Crystallization (EC-RaxFC) tracks the trace element and isotopic evolution of a magmatic system (melt + solids) undergoing simultaneous fractional crystallization, recharge, and assimilation. Mass, thermal, and compositional (trace …


Pre-Mrna Secondary Structures Influence Exon Recognition, Michael Hiller, Zhaiyi Zhang, Rolf Backofen, Stefan Stamm Nov 2007

Pre-Mrna Secondary Structures Influence Exon Recognition, Michael Hiller, Zhaiyi Zhang, Rolf Backofen, Stefan Stamm

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry Faculty Publications

The secondary structure of a pre-mRNA influences a number of processing steps including alternative splicing. Since most splicing regulatory proteins bind to single-stranded RNA, the sequestration of RNA into double strands could prevent their binding. Here, we analyzed the secondary structure context of experimentally determined splicing enhancer and silencer motifs in their natural pre-mRNA context. We found that these splicing motifs are significantly more single-stranded than controls. These findings were validated by transfection experiments, where the effect of enhancer or silencer motifs on exon skipping was much more pronounced in single-stranded conformation. We also found that the structural context of …


Supercurrent Survival Under A Rosen-Zener Quench Of Hard-Core Bosons, I. Klich, Courtney Lannert, G. Refael Nov 2007

Supercurrent Survival Under A Rosen-Zener Quench Of Hard-Core Bosons, I. Klich, Courtney Lannert, G. Refael

Physics: Faculty Publications

We study the survival of supercurrents in a system of impenetrable bosons on a lattice, subject to a quantum quench from its critical superfluid phase to an insulating phase. We show that the evolution of the current when the quench follows a Rosen-Zener profile is exactly solvable. This allows us to analyze a quench of arbitrary rate, from a sudden destruction of the superfluid to a slow opening of a gap. The decay and oscillations of the current are analytically derived and studied numerically along with the momentum distribution after the quench. In the case of small supercurrent boosts ν, …

Oral History Interview With Dr. Gordie Howell, Gordie Howell, Wenxian Zhang Nov 2007

Oral History Interview With Dr. Gordie Howell, Gordie Howell, Wenxian Zhang

Oral Histories

Gordon E. Howell, or Gordie as he prefers to be called, came to Rollins in search of a master's degree in economics. During his years as a student, he helped teach economics and scuba diving. For three years, he worked as a football coach at Winter Park High school, but by 1967 he returned to Rollins as a physical educator.

A native of North Carolina, Howell attended Western Carolina University for his undergraduate degree before joining the Marines, where he rose to the rank of captain. Taking weekend courses at the University of Virginia inspired him to pursue a career …

Characterization Of Putative Magnesium Transport Systems In Yeast, Andrew James Franklin Nov 2007

Characterization Of Putative Magnesium Transport Systems In Yeast, Andrew James Franklin

Theses

Magnesium (Mg2+) is essential for all life, and is utilized for many important biological processes. Despite the fundamental importance of Mg2+ homeostasis to life, relatively little is known about Mg2+ homeostasis in eukaryotes. The goal of this work was to identify proteins required for the active transport of Mg2+, which are essential to prevent the overaccumulation of cytosolic Mg2+, but have not been identified from any organism. In yeast, a vacuolar Mg2+/H+ exchange activity has been described but the molecular identify of this protein is unknown. To try and identify this activity, a candidate gene approach was used. Four yeast …
