The Paediatric Unit at Flinders Medical Centre in South Australia caters for children aged between 0 18 years of age, within a large general metropolitan hospital. Consistent with national trends we have experienced a significant increase in adolescents admitted with an eating disorder. In response a core eating disorder group visited other hospitals within the Room: State and interRoom: State ...

In distributed systems users need to share sensitive objects with others based on the recipients’ ability to satisfy a policy. Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) is a new paradigm where such policies are specified and cryptographically enforced in the encryption algorithm itself. Ciphertext-Policy ABE (CP-ABE) is a form of ABE where policies are associated with encrypted data and attributes are a...

This paper describes an undergraduate program in Language Technology that we have developed at Macquarie University. We question the industrial relevance of much that is taught in NLP courses, and emphasize the need for a practical orientation as a means to growing the size of the field. We argue that a more evangelical approach, both with regard to students and industry, is required. The paper...

We give an entanglement assisted scheme for quantum key distribution. The scheme requires the maximally entangled 2-qubit state but does not require any quantum storage. Given the symmetric noisy channel, our scheme can tolerate the bit error rate up to 26% in the 4-state case and 30% in the 6-state respectively, respectively. These values are higher than those of all currently known two-level-...

We study the problem of securely building single-commodity multi-markets auction mechanisms. We introduce a novel greedy algorithm and its corresponding privacy preserving implementation using secure multi-party computation. More specifically, we determine the quantity of supply and demand bids maximizing welfare. Each bid is attached to a specific market, but exchanges between different market...

Sorting is one of the most important primitives in various systems, for example, database systems, since it is often the dominant operation in the running time of an entire system. Therefore, there is a long list of work on improving its efficiency. It is also true in the context of secure multi-party computation (MPC), and several MPC sorting protocols have been proposed. However, all existing...

A three-phase low-harmonic rectifier configuration is presented. For a large current variation load, the circuit designed to improve the waveform of the current drawn from the utility grid. Analytically obtained results are experimentally verified.
