High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Universal usability refers to the design of information and communications products and services that are usable for every citizen. The concept has been advocated by Professor Ben Shneiderman, a computer scientist at the University of Maryland, College Park. He also provided a more practical definition of universal usability – “having more than 90% of all households as successful users of information and communications services at least once a week.” The concept of universal usability (“usable by all”) is closely related to the concepts of universal accessibility (“accessible by all”) and universal design (“design for all”). These three concepts altogether cover, from the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A signal is a limited form of inter-process communication used in Unix, Unix-like, and other POSIX-compliant operating systems. It is an asynchronous notification sent to a process or to a specific thread within the same process in order to notify it of an event that occurred. When a signal is sent, the operating system interrupts the target process`s normal flow of execution. Execution can be interrupted during any non-atomic instruction. If the process has previously registered a signal handler, that routine is executed. Otherwise the default signal handler is executed. Signals have been around since the 1970s Bell Labs Unix and are more recently specified in the POSIX standard.

The program directly interfaces the system call, which removes the file name and (but not on GNU systems) directories like rm and rmdir. If the file name was the last hard link to the file, the file itself is deleted as soon as no program has it open.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In the C++ programming language, unordered associative containers are a group of class templates in the C++ Standard Library that implement variations of hash tables. Being templates, they can be used to store arbitrary elements, such as integers or custom classes. The following containers are defined in the current revision of the C++ standard: unordered_set, unordered_map, unordered_multiset, unordered_multimap. Each of these containers differ only on constraints placed on their elements.

It was published in 1999 by GT Interactive. Retrospectively, the game has also been referred to as UT99 or UT Classic to differentiate it from its numbered sequels. The game is based on the same technology that powered Unreal, but the design of UT shifted the series` focus to competitive multiplayer action, a trend at the time: id Software`s Quake III Arena was released only ten days later.

Monomeres Acrylamid wird zur Herstellung von Polyacrylamid mit vielseitigen Anwendungsmoglichkeiten industriell genutzt, entsteht aber auch unerwunscht beim Erhitzen von vor allem starkehaltigen Lebensmitteln. Seit einigen Jahren stellen sich sowohl Konsumenten als auch Toxikologen die Frage, welches gesundheitliche Risiko mit der Aufnahme von Acrylamid uber Lebensmittel verbunden ist. Ein Ziel der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit der Autorin Dr. Nicole Puppel war die Verbesserung der Datenbasis zur Risikoabschatzung von Acrylamid. Im Mittelpunkt ihrer Promotion standen Untersuchungen an Saugerzellen zum genotoxischen Potential dieses Erhitzungsproduktes sowie eines in vivo gebildeten Metaboliten. Die engagierte Lebensmittelchemikerin fuhrt den...

Clostridium difficile toxins A (TcdA) and B (TcdB) are mono-glucosyltransferases that inactivate RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42. By these means, the toxins cause actin re-organisation (cytopathic effect) and apoptosis (cytotoxic effect). The cytotoxic effect has generally been attributed to the inactivation of RhoA. Treatment of cultured cells with Clostridium difficile toxin A (TcdA) also causes RhoB up-regulation. This study focuses on the up-regulation of RhoB and its functional consequences in toxin-treated cells. RhoB is up-regulated after treatment of fibroblasts with RhoA/B/C (TcdB, C. limosum C3) or H/K/N-Ras (C. sordellii lethal toxin) inactivating toxins. The up-regulation is based on transcriptional activation. p38 MAP kinase is...
