This article aims at investigating the administration, economic activities and evolution of an imperial estate epigraphically attested in ancient Mursa, Pannonia inferior, along Drava river. Particularly, there are evidences slaves engaged business management as well many stamped bricks with different inscriptions. By matching these two types epigraphs, it can be sketched that property began it...

BACKGROUND Smoking-cessation treatment policies could yield substantial increases in adult quit rates in the U.S. PURPOSE The goals of this paper are to model the effects of individual cessation treatment policies on population quit rates, and to illustrate the potential benefits of combining policies to leverage their synergistic effects. METHODS A mathematical model is updated to examine ...

AIMS To compare abrupt and gradual smoking cessation. DESIGN AND SETTING Randomized trial and observational study, Internet, 2007-2010. PARTICIPANTS Smokers with no strong preference for abrupt or gradual quitting were randomly assigned to quitting immediately (n=472), or to gradually reducing their cigarette consumption over 2 weeks and then quit (n=502). Smokers who strongly preferred to ...

Fail-stop signature (FSS) schemes protect a signer against a forger with unlimited computational power by enabling the signer to provide a proof of forgery, if it occurs. In this paper, we show a flaw in a previously proposed fail-stop signature that is based on the difficulty of factorization, and then describe a secure scheme based on the same assumption.

Past research found that environmental uncertainty leads people to behave differently depending on their childhood environment. For example, economic uncertainty leads people from poor childhoods to become more impulsive while leading people from wealthy childhoods to become less impulsive. Drawing on life history theory, we examine the psychological mechanism driving such diverging responses t...

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is an important life threatening condition that is difficult to diagnose, particularly in the early stages. Looking for DVT in lower limb can be considered ancillary in suspected cases of pulmonary embolism (PE) indirectly highlighting a cause and effect relationship of a single disease (i.e cause being DVT and effect is the assault on the lung vasculature). Prompt an...

Stop and go traffic that leads to oscillate traffic flow frequently is observed on congestion flow. Unexpected reasons such as lane – changing maneuvers, lower speeds of leader vehicle and moving bottleneck cause stop and go traffic and amplifying delay and environment impacts. Stop and go traffic exactly can’t be modeled by traffic models, and also car following models based on kinematic flow ...
