Role of Low-level Mechanisms in Brightness Perception
, 2001
"... Brightness judgments are a key part of the primate brain's visual analysis of the environment. There is general consensus that the perceived brightness of an image region is based not only on its actual luminance, but also on the photometric structure of its neighborhood. However, it is uncl ..."

- level mechanisms, such as lateral inhibition, as explanations for brightness phenomena. Here we describe experiments with displays for which low-level and high-level analyses make qualitatively different predictions, and with which we can quantitatively assess the trade-offs between low-level
Low-level mechanical stimulation is sufficient to improve tendon healing in rats
, 2012
"... published August 30, 2012; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00491.2012.— Treatment of tendon injuries often involves immobilization. However, immobilization might not prevent mild involuntary isometric muscle contraction. The effect of weak forces on tendon healing is therefore of clinical interest. Studies ..."

to mild mechanical stimulation. By reducing the forces acting on the tendon even further, we now studied the effects of this mild stimulation. Rat Achilles tendons were transected and allowed to heal spontaneously under four different loading conditions: 1) normal cage activity; 2) calf muscle paralysis
ConTracts - A Low-Level Mechanism for Building General-Purpose Workflow Management-Systems
- IEEE Data Engineering Bulletin
, 1995
"... this paper, is characterized by three very simple insights: . Extending the transaction model does not solve the problem, because a long-lived computation is much more complex than an ACID transaction. On the other hand, nobody is helped by a type of transaction, which is neither A, nor C, nor I, no ..."

this paper, is characterized by three very simple insights: . Extending the transaction model does not solve the problem, because a long-lived computation is much more complex than an ACID transaction. On the other hand, nobody is helped by a type of transaction, which is neither A, nor C, nor I, nor D. . Managing long-lived computations requires more systematic approaches than pragmatic extensions to existing operating systems and TP-monitors. . Apart from its close relationship to databases, handling long-lived computations is a problem of proper language abstractions. Whereas simple modules (and transaction programs, for that matter) have a system residence time of 10
Low-level mechanical signals and their potential as a nonpharmacological interventions for osteoporosis. Age and ageing 2006; Suppl 2: ii32-ii36
"... Abstract Background: exercise is recognised as a critical regulatory signal to the skeletal system, but which specific aspects of exercise are responsible for influencing bone mass and morphology and resisting fractures remains unknown. Recent data indicate that extremely low-level mechanical signa ..."

End-To-End Arguments In System Design
, 1984
"... This paper presents a design principle that helps guide placement of functions among the modules of a distributed computer system. The principle, called the end-to-end argument, suggests that functions placed at low levels of a system may be redundant or of little value when compared with the cost o ..."

of providing them at that low level. Examples discussed in the paper include bit error recovery, security using encryption, duplicate message suppression, recovery from system crashes, and delivery acknowledgement. Low level mechanisms to support these functions are justified only as performance enhancements
Globus: A Metacomputing Infrastructure Toolkit
- International Journal of Supercomputer Applications

"... Emerging high-performance applications require the ability to exploit diverse, geographically distributed resources. These applications use high-speed networks to integrate supercomputers, large databases, archival storage devices, advanced visualization devices, and/or scientific instruments to for ..."

. In this article, we introduce Globus, a system that we are developing to address these challenges. The Globus system is intended to achieve a vertically integrated treatment of application, middleware, and network. A low-level toolkit provides basic mechanisms such as communication, authentication, network

Grid Information Services for Distributed Resource Sharing

In these settings, the discovery, characterization, and monitoring of resources, services, and computations are challengi ..."

We present here an information services architecture that addresses performance, security, scalability, and robustness requirements. Our architecture defines simple low-level enquiry and registration protocols that make it easy
