Gene Expression Meta-Analysis Of Parkinson's Disease And Its Relationship With Alzheimer's Disease, Jack Kelly, Rana Moyeed, Camille Carroll, Diego Albani, Xinzhong Li

Peninsula Medical School

Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are the most common neurodegenerative diseases and have been suggested to share common pathological and physiological links. Understanding the cross-talk between them could reveal potentials for the development of new strategies for early diagnosis and therapeutic intervention thus improving the quality of life of those affected. Here we have conducted a novel meta-analysis to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in PD microarray datasets comprising 69 PD and 57 control brain samples which is the biggest cohort for such studies to date. Using identified DEGs, we performed pathway, upstream and protein-protein interaction analysis. We …

Cyber Crime: A Portrait Of The Landscape, Sm Furnell, S Dowling

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

This paper reviews current evidence in relation to scale and impacts of cyber crime, including various approaches to defining and measuring the problem. A review and analysis of survey evidence is used to enable an understanding of the scope and scale of the cyber crime problem, and its effect upon those experiencing it. The analysis evidences that cyber crime exists in several dimensions, with costs and harms that can be similarly varied. There is also a sense that, moving forward, the 'cyber' label will become somewhat redundant as many crimes have the potential to have a technology component. The key …

Turning Static Media Streams Into Interactive Experiences, Tiruvilwamalai Raman

Defensive Publications Series

Media such as podcasts or other audio, videos, etc. are linear content streams, e.g., the only navigation generally available to users is the ability to rewind or fast-forward along the time axis. This is in contrast to documents on the visual web, where hypertext languages enable flexible and interactive navigation. This disclosure describes techniques to create lightweight annotations around media content to enable an interactive user experience over such content.

Display Orientation User Experience (Ux) Enhancement Through A Sensor Array, Chilin Kuo, Chin-Kuo Huang

Defensive Publications Series

This publication describes a computing device that captures a user-initiated sound by incorporating a microphone array. The computing device analyzes the captured sound from each microphone by using a model capable of determining a variation in the sound power of the captured sound signal by each microphone. To conserve the resources of the computing device, machine learning trains the model remotely or off-line. The ability of the computing device to determine the user-initiated sound power variation captured by each microphone enables the device to determine the location of the user in respect to the device and, thus, allows the device …
