Securing XML documents with author-X
No full textAuthor-X is a Java-based system that addresses the security issues of access control and policy design for XML document administration. Author-X supports the specification of policies at varying granularity levels and the specification of user credentials as a way to enforce access control. Access control is available according to both push and pull document distribution policies, and document updates are distributed through a combination of hash functions and digital signature techniques. The Author-X approach to distributed updates allows a user to verify a document's integrity without contacting the document server
Four Replication Experiments of Kidd and Castano (2013)
No full textThe data is from the published article: Samur, D., Tops, M., & Koole, S. L. (2017). Does a single session of reading literary fiction prime enhanced mentalising performance? Four replication experiments of Kidd and Castano (2013). Cognition and Emotion, 1-15.
Abstract: Prior experiments indicated that reading literary fiction improves mentalising performance relative to reading popular fiction, non-fiction, or not reading. However, the experiments had relatively small sample sizes and hence low statistical power. To address this limitation, the present authors conducted four high-powered replication experiments (combined N = 1006) testing the causal impact of reading literary fiction on mentalising. Relative to the original research, the present experiments used the same literary texts in the reading manipulation; the same mentalising task; and the same kind of participant samples. Moreover, one experiment was pre-registered as a direct replication. In none of the experiments did reading literary fiction have any effect on mentalising relative to control conditions. The results replicate earlier findings that familiarity with fiction is positively correlated with mentalising. Taken together, the present findings call into question whether a single session of reading fiction leads to immediate improvements in mentalising

No full textThe 3-dimensional organisation of the neural component of the human Meissner corpuscle was studied after silver impregnation and following immunofluorescence for protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) by confocal scanning laser microscopy. The morphology of the Meissner corpuscle was found to show consistent differences depending on the labelling method used. After silver impregnation by the Winkelmann technique the branches of the afferent nerve fibres of the corpuscle showed both thin regions and varicose elements, the latter probably corresponding to the portions rich in mitochondria observed by transmission electron microscopy. The bulkier elements were never more than 5-6 μm in diameter. After immunolabelling for PGP 9.5 the nerve fibre branches in the corpuscle always presented flattened and discoidal expansions with a diameter of up to 30 μm. On the basis of what is known as to the mechanism of action of silver impregnations it is considered that the black precipitate preferentially labels the parts of neurons that are rich in neurofilaments. In any case the precipitate is deposited throughout the neuronal cytoplasm except in the mitochondria and the nucleus. Accordingly, in the varicosities of the Meissner corpuscles that are rich in mitochondria, there is little space for the formation of the precipitate. The use of an antiserum against PGP 9.5, which labels the larger proteinaceous component of the axoplasm, demonstrates the complete architecture of the neural component of the Meissner corpuscle, and visualises the discoidal and flattened expansions which are absent in the impregnated corpuscles. It is concluded that immunostaining provides images of the corpuscles, and of peripheral neural structures that are in general closer to reality
