BrowserID is a complex, real-world Single Sign-On (SSO) System for web applications recently developed by Mozilla. This open source system employs new HTML5 features (such as web messaging and web storage) and cryptographic assertions to provide decentralized and federated login, with the intent to respect users’ privacy. It can operate in two modes, the primary identity provider mode and the s...

theories of identity1 and to describe how various social contexts and cognitive motives influence the process of identity change. Although many strands of literature describe identity dynamics, two are considered primary: identity theory (Stryker 1980; Stryker and Serpe 1982) and social identity theory (Tajfel 1981; Tajfel and Turner 1986; Turner et al. 1987). Recent literature has tried to com...

  Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to estimate genetic relationships between two seasonal immigrant forms (namely fall-run and spring-run) of Caspian trout Salmo trutta caspius. In this regard, 62 fin tissue samples were collected from southern parts of the Caspian Sea basin and examined with 16 oligodecamer primers to asses their genetic diversity as well as probable s...

In this paper a voltage mode four quadrant analog multiplier (FQAM) using voltage differencing buffered amplifier (VDBA) based on quarter square algebraic identity is presented. In the proposed FQAM the passive resistor can be implemented using MOSFETs operating in saturationregion thereby making it suitable for integration. The effect of non idealities of VDBA has also been analyzed in this pa...

We announce a tool for mapping E derivations to Mizar proofs. Our mapping complements earlier work that generates problems for automated theorem provers from Mizar inference checking problems. We describe the tool, explain the mapping, and show how we solved some of the difficulties that arise in mapping proofs between different logical formalisms, even when they are based on the same notion of...

Amyloid protein AA is the presumptive fragment of an acute phase serum apolipoprotein, apoSAA. Two major murine apoSAA isotypes (apoSAA1 and apoSAA2) have been identified. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequences of purified murine apoSAA1 and apoSAA2 have been examined and compared with that of murine amyloid protein AA. Our results indicate that apoSAA1 and apoSAA2 are separate gene products and...

India has a rich heritage of herbal medicine of which the most important system namely Ayurveda needs even today a critical scientific scrutiny both in the correct identity of the proper drug plants and in the standard of the preparation of Ayurveda drugs. Authentic data on the medicinal plants growing in the Srikakulam district of Northern Andhra Pradesh is presented in the paper along with th...

We begin by defining tensor products of vector spaces over a field and then we investigate some basic properties of these tensors, in particular the existence of bases and duality. After this, we investigate special kinds of tensors, namely, symmetric tensors and skew-symmetric tensors. Tensor products of modules over a commutative ring with identity will be discussed very briefly. They show up...

This study investigated how people in prison feel about the language used to describe them and it affected them. Previous research shows that terminology affects their self-identity, namely through its shame-inducing effects. A thematic analysis of qualitative data gathered interviews demonstrated impacts an individual engages with community they view themselves. Positive progressive prisons ha...
