This paper introduces an efficient method to jointly generate provably random values between a set of n parties P = {P1, . . . , Pn}, where at most t < n 2 are corrupted by a rushing adversary. We call such a scheme a tRVG (random value generation) protocol. The correctness of our scheme, i.e. the randomness of the generated values, can be formally proven under the DDH assumption. In particular...

INTRODUCTION Exploration and determination of the relationship between stature and length of tooth is essential in Paleontology, Forensic Odontology and Endodontology. This study aimed to determine any association between stature and posterior tooth length in a group of patients who required root canal treatment. METHODS Age, sex and standing height of adults were considered for posterior too...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of gene expression. In the brain, vital processes like neurodevelopment and neuronal functions depend on the correct expression of microRNAs. Perturbation of microRNAs in the brain can be used to model neurodegenerative diseases by modulating neuronal cell death. Currently, stereotactic injection is used to deliver miRNA knockdown agents to specific locatio...

Aim of the study: To determine the efficacy of Radiovisiography in estimating working length and to compare the accuracy of working length determination between radiovisiography and conventional radiographic methods. Materials and method: A total of 100 samples from 20 single rooted and 30 multirooted teeth were taken. Working length was estimated by both conventional radiographic method (CLrad...

In dental implantology more than one hundred enossal implant systems are in use. Once embedded, the dental X{ray examination is the most important tool for determing implants' producer, name, and type. In this paper, we present a system for automatical detection and identiication of dental xtures in intraoral X rays (IDEFIX) combining common direct digital image acquisition techniques with spec...
