While security of cross-domain single sign-on is a thoroughly researched subject, the closely related web identity federation has not been recognized as a distinct problem requiring analysis in its own right. In this paper, we describe a generic approach for analyzing security of web protocols through a framework for reasoning about user actions. We then use this framework to analyze security o...

A review of regulations and specifications for internally illuminated exit signs recommended or enforced by various sanctioning bodies in Canada, Great Britain and elsewhere reveals omissions and inconsistencies which may compromise the safety of building occupants in smoke. Since these problems are partly due to lack of conclusive research, a controlled psychophysical experiment was conducted ...

The effects of divided attention were examined in younger adults (M = 23 years) and older adults (M = 64 years) who searched for traffic signs in digitized images of traffic scenes. Sign search was executed under single-task and dual-task conditions in scenes containing either small or large amounts of visual clutter. For both age groups, clutter and the secondary task had additive effects on s...

Vital sign documentation is crucial to detecting patient deterioration. Little is known about the documentation of vital signs in electronic health records. This study aimed to examine documentation of vital signs in electronic health records. We examined the vital signs documented in the electronic health records of patients who had suffered an in-hospital cardiac arrest and on whom cardiopulm...

This paper addresses the challenge of enriching geometric digital twins buildings, with a particular emphasis on capturing small but important entities from electrical and fire-safety domain, such as signs, sockets, switches, smoke alarms, etc. Unlike most previous research that focussed structural elements processed laser point clouds images separately, we propose novel method fuses scanning p...

Because of the increasing multidisciplinarity and multilinguality, communication problems in different technical fields grow more and more. Therefore, each technical field has its own specific language, terminology which is characterized by the different definition of terms. In addition to definition problems, there are also relation problems between terms. Among these problems of relation, the...
