Does Current Antitrust Regulation Provide Free Parking For Ebay And Paypal In The Monopoly Game Of Online Auction Sites And Person-To-Person Online Payment Systems?, David S. Shevitz

Loyola of Los Angeles Entertainment Law Review

EBay currently dominates the online auction market with a market share exceeding 90% in several prominent European countries. Until recently, eBay sellers were permitted to accept a wide array of payment options from buyers including wire transfers, money orders, and checks, as well as credit card payments through PayPal and other merchant accounts. However, pursuant to eBay's paperless payment policy enacted on November 11, 2008, sellers may no longer accept personal checks, cashier's checks, money orders, or wire transfers except in limited circumstances. In response to that policy as well as other alleged anticompetitive acts, a class action consolidated lawsuit …

Secure Hierarchical Data Aggregation In Wireless Sensor Networks, Julia Albath, Sanjay Madria

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Communication in wireless sensor networks uses the majority of a sensor's limited energy. using aggregation in wireless sensor network reduces the overall communication cost. Security in wireless sensor networks entails many different challenges. Traditional end-to-end security is not suitable for use with in-network aggregation. a corrupted sensor has access to the data and can falsify results. Additively homomorphic encryption allows for aggregation of encrypted values, with the result being the same as the result when unencrypted data was aggregated. using public key cryptography, digital signatures can be used to achieve integrity. We propose a new algorithm using homomorphic encryption and …

Spatially Uniform Relieff (Surf) For Computationally-Efficient Filtering Of Gene-Gene Interactions, Casey S. Greene, Nadia M. Penrod, Jeff Kiralis, Jason H. Moore

Dartmouth Scholarship

Genome-wide association studies are becoming the de facto standard in the genetic analysis of common human diseases. Given the complexity and robustness of biological networks such diseases are unlikely to be the result of single points of failure but instead likely arise from the joint failure of two or more interacting components. The hope in genome-wide screens is that these points of failure can be linked to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which confer disease susceptibility. Detecting interacting variants that lead to disease in the absence of single-gene effects is difficult however, and methods to exhaustively analyze sets of these variants …

Use Of The Chambira Palm (Astrocaryum Chambira) In Rainforest Communities Of The Peruvian Amazon, Anel Guel, Jim Penn

Student Summer Scholars Manuscripts

We proposed to research the use of chambira palm fibers and the sale of chambira crafts in four communities located about 100 miles from the city of Iquitos, Peru. In this part of the Peruvian Amazon, women are organized into groups that work to obtain the fibers and sell their products in a sustainable way, and at the same time promote the cultivation of the palm trees in their family gardens. As is the case with so many products from tropical forests, there is great geographic variation in the abundance of the resource (chambira) and variation in the amount of …

Complexities Of Information Security In Cyber-Physical Power Systems, Bruce Mcmillin

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Cyber-Physical Power Systems consist of significant cyber components that mange the physical electric power infrastructure under distributed control of power electronics devices. This represents a departure from more centralized SCADA-type control. NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection standards emphasize the need to protect the power infrastructure from both cyber and physical attacks. Complex interactions between the cyber and physical worlds introduce new vulnerabilities that go beyond those found in the purely computer world. in this paper, some of these new vulnerabilities are described and a direction is suggested to determine and mitigate these vulnerabilities. © 2009 IEEE.

Optimal Placement And Signal Selection For Wide-Area Controlled Upfcs For Damping Power System Oscillations, Mahyar Zarghami, Mariesa Crow

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The paper discusses an optimal placement for UPFCs and an optimal method for the selection of global measurements in a wide-area controlled network for the purpose of damping power system oscillations. Both the placement and signal selection methods are optimized to damp interarea oscillations. Optimal UPFC placement is identified by comparing different candidate placements based on the total damping they produce. Optimal selection of output measurements is based on the projection of the right eigenvectors on outputs. after the selection of the desired output measurements, observer gains are designed by LMI approaches. Test results from the IEEE 57 bus test …

Cost-Benefit Analysis Of Error Reduction For Complex Systems, Robert A. Mcdonald

Aerospace Engineering

The cost-benefit tradeoff of analysis fidelity in complex systems analysis has been posed as an optimization problem providing quantitative guidance for investment in improving analysis. A nonlinear constrained optimizer to solve this problem has been integrated into an error tradeoff environment providing an intuitive tool for the decision maker to consider investment in fidelity at the same time as design decisions are considered. An example demonstrates the efficacy of the improved interface to enable fidelity improvement investment decisions.

Dynamics Of Lyman Break Galaxies And Their Host Halos, James D. Lowenthal, David C. Koo, Luc Simard, Eelco Van Kampen

Astronomy: Faculty Publications

We present deep two-dimensional spectra of 22 candidate and confirmed Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at redshifts 2 < z < 4 in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) obtained at the Keck II telescope. The targets were preferentially selected with spatial extent and/or multiple knot morphologies, and we used slitmasks and individual slits tilted to optimize measurement of any spatially resolved kinematics. Our sample is more than 1 mag fainter and is at higher redshift than the kinematic LBG targets previously studied by others. The median target magnitude was I814 = 25.3, and total exposure times ranged from 10 to 50 ks. We measure redshifts, some new, ranging from z = 0.2072 to z = 4.056, including two interlopers at z < 1, and resulting in a sample of 14 LBGs with a median redshift z = 2.424. The morphologies and kinematics of the close pairs and multiple knot sources in our sample are generally inconsistent with galaxy formation scenarios postulating that LBGs occur only at the bottom of the potential wells of massive host halos; rather, they support "collisional starburst" models with significant …

Detections Of Water Ice, Hydrocarbons, And 3.3 ΜM Pah In Z ~ 2 Ulirgs, Anna Sajina, Henrik Spoon, Lin Yan, Masatoshi Imanishi, Dario Fadda, Moshe Elitzur

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We present the first detections of the 3 μm water ice and 3.4 μm amorphous hydrocarbon (HAC) absorption features in z ~ 2 ULIRGs. These are based on deep rest-frame 2-8 μm Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph spectra of 11 sources selected for their appreciable silicate absorption. The HAC-to-silicate ratio for our z ~ 2 sources is typically higher by a factor of 2-5 than that observed in the Milky Way. This HAC “excess” suggests compact nuclei with steep temperature gradients as opposed to predominantly host obscuration. Beside the above molecular absorption features, we detect the 3.3 μm …

Simultaneous Multiwavelength Observations Of Markarian 421 During Outburst, P. T. Reynolds, Veritas, Magic

Physical Sciences Publications

We report on the results of two coordinated multiwavelength campaigns that focused on the blazar Markarian 421 during its 2006 and 2008 outbursts. These campaigns obtained UV and X-ray data using the XMM-Newton satellite, while the gamma-ray data were obtained utilizing three imaging atmospheric Cerenkov telescopes, the Whipple 10 m telescope and VERITAS, both based in Arizona, as well as the MAGIC telescope, based on La Palma in the Canary Islands. The coordinated effort between the gamma-ray groups allowed for truly simultaneous data in UV/X-ray/gamma-ray wavelengths during a significant portion of the XMM-Newton observations. This simultaneous coverage allowed for a …

The Digraph Of The Square Mapping On Elliptic Curves, Katrina Glaeser

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

Consider a subgroup of an elliptic curve generated by a point P of order n. It is possible to match any point Q to an integer k (mod n) such that Q = kP using a brute force method. By observing patterns in the digraph of the squaring map on the integers modulo n it is possible to perform this matching. These techniques can be applied to solving the Elliptic Curve Discrete Log Problem given a complete graph of the square mapping k P -> k^2 P for the elliptic curve points.

Exact Lattice Supersymmetry, Simon Catterall, David B. Kaplan, Mithat Unsal

Physics - All Scholarship

We provide an introduction to recent lattice formulations of supersymmetric theories which are invariant under one or more real supersymmetries at nonzero lattice spacing. These include the especially interesting case of {\cal N}=4 SYM in four dimensions. We discuss approaches based both on twisted supersymmetry and orbifold-deconstruction techniques and show their equivalence in the case of gauge theories. The presence of an exact supersymmetry reduces and in some cases eliminates the need for fine tuning to achieve a continuum limit invariant under the full supersymmetry of the target theory. We discuss open problems.

Gas Phase Chiral Recognition, Characterization Of Porous Polymer Monolith Nanospray Ionization, And The Negative Mode Crafti Method Using Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry, Nannan Fang

Theses and Dissertations

Our group has been studying chiral recognition in gas phase using mass spectrometry for more than 10 years. We are interested in gas phase studies of fundamental interactions because the gas phase avoids complications and masking effects that may arise upon solvation. Therefore, the results of gas phase experiments can be directly compared with those of high-level computational studies. In chapter 2, I studied the roles of hydrogen bonding and pi stacking in gas phase chiral recognition between aromatic crown molecules and aromatic amines. High affinity between host and guest doesn't necessarily result in better recognition. If the affinity is …
