Software insecurity can be explained as a potpourri of hacking methods, ranging from the familiar, e.g. buffer overruns, to the exotic, e.g. code insertion with Chinese characters. From such an angle software security would just be a collection of specific countermeasures. We will observe a common principle that can guide a structured presentation of software security and give guidance for futu...

Voice and expressivity transformation as well as text-to-speech synthesis with high degree of naturalness are now available. A set of tools permitting a large range of voices to be made from a single voice, whose speech may be produced from text and given a certain expressivity, is proposed. In the context of multiplayer video games, for instance, this technology allows for creation of the spee...

In this paper, we present an algorithm for reconstruction from incomplete 2D scans for tifinagh characters. This algorithm is based on using correlation between the lost block and its neighbors. This system proposed contains three main parts: preprocessing, features extraction and recognition. In the first step, we construct a database of tifinagh characters. In the second step, we will apply “...

1 n : (n, f) = 1 0 : otherwise , the absolute convergence for s > 1 follows from the convergence of ζQ(s) for s > 1. (ii) Given the convergence for s > 1, the proof of the product expansion is identical to the case ζQ(s). We also observe that L(s, χ1) = ζQ(s). As we will see, for non-trivial characters, the L-series behave rather differently. We will analyze these functions further, but first w...

ΩTimes and ΩHelvetica will be public domain virtual Timesand Helvetica-like fonts based upon real PostScript fonts, which we call “Glyph Containers”. They will contain all necessary characters for typesetting efficiently (that is, with TEX quality) in all languages and systems using the Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew and Tifinagh alphabets and their derivatives. All Unicode characters w...

In this article we will generalize some known constructions to produce pseudorandom sequences with the aid of elliptic curves. We will make use of both additive and multiplicative characters on elliptic curves.

commissioned in 1929 by the government of Southern Rhodesia (present-day Zimbabwe) to research the language varieties spoken by Zimbabwean natives. His work, which was premised on the quest for standardised, monolithic and homogeneous linguistic categories, marked the genesis of language politics in Zimbabwe. The Dokean legacy left an indelible mark on the terrain of language treatment and lang...

the authors of this article aim to compare character types in persian oral folktales and hans christian andersen’s fairytales. for a better clarification of this topic, the authors address issues such as morality, character’s will, and the portrayal of women in these stories. this paper comes to the following conclusions: first, both the content and the characters in hans christian andersen’s t...
