Outsourcing Private Ram Computation
We construct the first schemes that allow a client to privately outsource arbitrary program executions to a remote server while ensuring that the client's work is small and essentially independent…

Heating of the Sunlit Polar Cap Ionosphere by Reflected Photoelectrons
Using a 1-D ionosphere-polar wind model and measurements from the Resolute Bay Incoherent Scatter Radar (RISR-N), this paper shows that these reflected photoelectrons are a significant source of heat for…

New Candidate Biomarkers in the Female Genital Tract to Evaluate Microbicide Toxicity
Vaginal microbicides hold great promise for the prevention of viral diseases like HIV, but the failure of several microbicide candidates in clinical trials has raised important questions.

First Estimates of Global Free-Tropospheric NO2 Abundances Derived Using a Cloud-Slicing Technique Applied to Satellite Observations from the Aura Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI)
We derive free-tropospheric NO2 volume mixing ratios (VMRs) by applying a cloud-slicing technique to data from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on the Aura satellite.
