We formally study the notion of a joint signature and encryption in the public-key setting. We refer to this primitive as signcryption, adapting the terminology of [35]. We present two de£nitions for the security of signcryption depending on whether the adversary is an outsider or a legal user of the system. We then examine generic sequential composition methods of building signcryption from a ...

We present in this paper a novel general algorithm for signed number division in Residue Number Systems (RNS). A parity checking technique is used to accomplish the sign and overflow detection in this algorithm. Compared with conventional methods of sign and overflow detection, the parity checking method is more e f ficient and practical. Sign magnitude arithmetic division is implemented using ...

An important argument in favor of the encyclical theory of the epistle to the Ephesians is based upon the peculiarities found in the epistle itself. Yet these unusual features (e.g., the lack of personal greetings, the unusual statements in 1:15, 3:2, and 4:21, etc.) can all be satisfactorily explained in the light of an original Ephesian destination. After an examination of early scribal habit...

The Wartegg drawing completion test (Wartegg Zeichen Test, WZT) is a projective drawing test developed in the 1920’s and 1930’s by the AustroGerman psychologist Ehrig Wartegg (Wartegg, 1939). The standard DIN-A4sized test form has eight white, 4cm-by-4cm squares in two rows on a black background (Figure 1). Each square is blank except for a small sign, such as a dot or a line, that is given as ...

The dendritic cell-specific C-type lectin DC-SIGN functions as a pathogen receptor that recognizes Schistosoma mansoni egg antigens through its major glycan epitope Galbeta1,4(Fucalpha1,3)GlcNAc (Lex). Here we report that L-SIGN, a highly related homologue of DC-SIGN found on liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, binds to S. mansoni egg antigens but not to the Lex epitope. L-SIGN does bind the Le...
