Digitization of healthcare data is an ongoing process that will eventually lead to large nationwide information systems where sensitive medical data is stored. An important issue in this process is the protection of patients’ privacy. Applying security measures so that a desired level of privacy protection can be attained has proven to be an interesting and difficult problem when considering th...

Ideal pyroxenes are hypothetical structures based on ideal closest-packed arrangements of O anions. They are modeled after observed pyroxene structures and have the general formula M2M1T2O6, where M2 and M1 represent octahedrally coordinated cations, and T represents tetrahedrally coordinated cations. An algorithm has been created to construct all possible ideal pyroxenes based on closest-packe...

In the present work, we have probed role of substitution 3d, 4d and 5d elements (i.e., with electronic configuration (EC): nd y , where n = 3–5; number electrons in d level) at B site on structural, magnetic properties a set full Heusler alloys (FHAs) namely, Co 2 BAl, using density functional theory (DFT) based structure (ES) calculations. We optimized all 30 combinations studied here Fm[Formu...

INTRODUCTION Dr Abraham Joseph Vinaver (1862-1915), a Jew from Poland, was a pioneer of radiology in Serbia. He graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in Warsaw (1887), but lived and worked in abac (the Kingdom of Serbia) since 1890. Dr Abraham Joseph Vinarev - Career Development. He procured the first X-ray machine and developed radiological service in Sabac five years after the discovery of X...

It is unnecessary here to enter into a discussion on the advantages and limitations of the tetrachoric correlation coefficient, as this has been frequently done before. In spite of the criticisms of the statisticians, it remains one of the most frequently used coefficients of association in psychological research. Because it is so difficult to compute, Karl Pearson publ.ished tables (5) to aid ...

ECONOMIC LEADERS FROM AROUND the world gathered in Hanoi, Vietnam for the 14 Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in November of 2006. With this year’s theme of “Towards a Dynamic Community for Sustainable Development and Prosperity,” the APEC community strived to make clear its support for the Doha Development Agenda. In addition, the forum emphasized the need to protect human secu...

There has been tremendous growth in the application of the Internet of Things (IoT) in our daily lives. Yet with this growth has come numerous security concerns and privacy challenges for both the users and the systems. Smart devices have many uses in a healthcare system, e.g. collecting and reporting patient data and controlling the administration of treatment. In this paper, we address the sp...

Background: Inter-organiza onal healthcare businesses are ruled by a huge set of policies: legal policies, organiza onal policies, medical policies, ethical policies, etc., which are quite sta c, pa ents policy and process, social and environmental condi ons, which are highly dynamic. In the context of a business case, those diff erent policies must be harmonized to enable privilege management ...

MOTIVATION Much research has been devoted to the characterization of interaction interfaces found in complexes with known structure. In this context, the interactions of non-homologous domains at equivalent binding sites are of particular interest, as they can reveal convergently evolved interface motifs. Such motifs are an important source of information to formulate rules for interaction spec...

The ability to enforce robust and dynamic access controls on cloud-hosted data while simultaneously ensuring confidentiality with respect to the cloud itself is a clear goal for many users and organizations. To this end, there has been much cryptographic research proposing the use of (hierarchical) identity-based encryption, attribute-based encryption, predicate encryption, functional encryptio...
