		A novel attack against something that was proven secure using a what I think is a poor definition of security.
		Your previous demos of novel attacks have been great, and have prompted discussion and fixes, so that’d be my choice.
		A proof that a popular puzzle is NP-complete.

	Nitrophorin-2: A Novel Mixed-Type Reversible Specific Inhibitor of the Intrinsic Factor-X Activating Complex
		Taken together, we conclude that NP-2 is a unique, potent, and highly specific inhibitor of the intrinsic FX-activating complex that inhibits FIXa bound either to the phospholipid or activated platelet surface or to the cofactor FVIIIa by interfering with the assembly of FX-activating complex on these surfaces.
		Nitrophorin-2 (NP-2), isolated from salivary glands of the blood-sucking insect Rhodnius prolixus, has been shown to be a specific inhibitor of the intrinsic factor X-(FX)-activating complex.
		NP-2 was found to inhibit FX activation when either phospholipids or FVIIIa are present, but not in the absence of both factors.

	URCS AI Technical Reports
		We also describe the novel language model that we use for disambiguation and show that it outperforms a comparable model without the same knowledge sources.
		In ambiguous verb phrases of form V...NP PP or V...NP adverb(s), the two corpora have very different PP and adverb attachment patterns; in the first, the correct attachment is to the VP 88.7\% of the time, while in the second, the correct attachment is to the NP 73.5\% of the time.
		None of these interpretive procedures is especially concerned with `scope disambiguation,' but the result of these inferences is that relations of contextual dependency such as anaphoric reference or presuppositionality become part of the common ground; the scope preferences observed in the literature reflect these relations of dependency.

	1918 Influenza Pandemic CDC EID
		For example, the 1918 nucleoprotein (NP) gene sequence is similar to that of viruses found in wild birds at the amino acid level but very divergent at the nucleotide level, which suggests considerable evolutionary distance between the sources of the 1918 NP and of currently sequenced NP genes in wild bird strains (13,19).
		The virus of the 1918 pandemic likely expressed an antigenically novel subtype to which most humans and swine were immunologically naive in 1918 (12,20).

	Salon.com Books Reading "Madame Bovary" - NP
		Flaubert's dark tale of adultery feels like it was written in another age -- yet its vision of moral hypocrisy is startlingly contemporary.
		The way I saw it, Flaubert's novel represented a promise, an opportunity, a work I knew I'd read -- just give me time.
		Two decades, after all, is a long time to anticipate anything, especially a work that Frank O'Connor called "possibly the most beautifully written book ever composed; undoubtedly the most beautifully written novel." In Flaubert's words: "One must not touch idols; the gilt rubs off on one's hands."

	Online Lectures - Ann Sherif
		Machizawa points out as an exception the writings of Yoshimoto Banana (B. 1964), such as Kitchen, NP, and Lizard.
		For example, when Mikage, the narrator of Yoshimoto's novel Kitchen, meets the transsexual mother of her friend Yuichi, she is struck by her beauty, and does not react with surprise at the fact that the mother was once a man. Yoshimoto thus naturalizes the marginal and the unorthodox.
		When I was doing the translation, I never met Yoshimoto Banana, but I was able to correspond with her and ask her questions about the novels, which was very exciting.

	Sunday Times - South Africa's best selling newspaper
		In Robert Kirby's controversial new novel Songs of the Cockroach, Saudal Plaaitjies, a former National Party "tea-boy", gradually laces the tea of his ex-NP bosses, who are now in the opposition, with undetectable amounts of copper sulphate.
		Ball's final and decisive legal opinion cites several instances of theoretically possible defamation, directly or indirectly: J G Strijdom, Betsie Verwoerd, Tienie Vorster, a financial institution whose name is used in an unflattering reference, two South African novelists, a Cape Town English professor, and so on.
		All these are minor details, easily changed, and - had there been a higher level of trust between the parties - hardly the kind of thing to make a publisher reject an entire novel.

	On the Hardness of 4-Coloring a 3-Colorable Graph
		Another aspect in which our proof is novel is in its use of the PCP theorem to show that 4-coloring of 3-colorable graphs remains NP-hard even on bounded-degree graphs (this hardness result does not seem to follow from the earlier reduction of Khanna, Linial, and Safra).
		393--415], but our proof is novel because it does not rely on the PCP theorem, while the known one does.
		This highlights a qualitative difference between the known hardness result for coloring 3-colorable graphs and the factor $n^{\epsilon}$ hardness for approximating the chromatic number of general graphs, as the latter result is known to imply (some form of) PCP theorem [M. Bellare, O. Goldreich, and M. Sudan, SIAM J. Comput.

	The Indirect Object in English
		We propose that the reason the English preposition is not a governor is because the preposition to is not a semantically marked preposition--the preposition is a dummy preposition that is inserted to assign Case to the NP complement.
		If the intransitive preposition is adjoined to the main verb when it precedes the direct object as in See Hal gave the novel (right) back to his brother.
		The second way to account for the data is to adopt the idea in DeArmond (unpublished, [available on the web]) that Case lifting is a strategy to permit the raising of a NP constituent from a Case marked to the prominence (subject) position by inserting a barrier which blocks government and hence Case assignment.

	IngentaConnect Pseudo Noun Incorporation In Niuean
		We see that the properties of Niuean PNI do not fit into the various typologies of NI available in the literature, hence a novel analysis is required, such as the one proposed in this paper.
		It is shown that, since the nominal element in these constructions is a phrase (NP) rather than a head (N^0), this phenomenon does not in fact constitute NI in the normal sense of the term.
		Existential PNI thus results from a hybrid V/DET category (such as fai) which simultaneously binds the open position in NP and acts as the head predicate of the sentence.

	Language Log: Renowned author Dan Brown staggered through his formulaic opening sentence
		It is truly strange that Dan Brown began his first novel with exactly the same construction that made the opening of his better-known The Da Vinci Code so weird.
		I can be quite precise about the description of that construction: an occupational term is used with no determiner as a bare role NP premodifier of a proper name.
		(The name is borne, moreover, by a elderly Catholic man speaking a Romance language, who has just suffered an excruciatingly painful attack and will be dead within a quarter of an hour.) This odd formula makes the openings of Dan Brown's two novels about Catholic skullduggery eerily similar.

		On the cover of "Women's Barracks," a handful of half-clad ladies are crowded into a room, dressing themselves, nary a man in sight.

	Salon.com Books "On Beauty" by Zadie Smith - NP
		Howard is more or less the novel's central character, so it's an extraordinary and significant aspect of "On Beauty" that Smith has given him ideas she doesn't endorse.
		Kipps' book on Rembrandt, laden with conventional wisdom and the romance of "genius," is, unlike Howard's specialist study, designed "to sit heavily atop the New York Times bestseller list for half a year, crushing every book beneath it."
		The chronically self-deprecating Smith would, of course, make no grand claims for her book.

	FREIDOK - Model-checking problems, machines and parameterized complexity
		It is built on a novel notion of tractability, i.e., fixed-parameter tractability, which admits algorithms that have exponential running time, but just in terms of parameter of the problem instance that is expected to be small in the typical applications.
		Meanwhile a great number of parameterized intractable classes has been identified to classify problems that seem fixed-parameter intractable, which resembles the classical NP-completeness theory.
		The starting point is the class W[P], which we characterize as the languages that are decidable by nondeterministic fixed-parameter tractable algorithms of random access machines whose use of nondeterminism is bounded in terms of the parameters.

		Wes Craven's "Red Eye" uses nothing more novel or innovative than the stock vocabulary of thrillers: jolts that make you leap out of your seat or yell out loud (I did both at one point or another), or deliberately paced sequences where stalker and prey do a canny cat-and-mouse dance.
		With "Red Eye" Craven plays us like an orchestra of violins, and most of the fun comes from our own recognition that we're responding exactly as he wants us to.
		"Red Eye" doesn't just stick to the basics -- it reminds us why they still matter.
