A Review of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Postsecondary Success Portfolio: Lessons from Five Years of Funding Digital Courseware (Full Report)
SRI analyzed the features of 137 different courses from 12 major postsecondary courseware-related projects and performed a quantitative meta-analysis of student outcomes to estimate the impact of digital courseware on…

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…

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.

CCN-KRS: A Key Resolution Service for CCN
Abstract One key feature of the CCN design is the requirement for each content object to be individually secured by its producer. Thus, CCN should be, in principle, immune to…
