Communicational complexity problem among three parties for the calculation of a three party inner product modular function is discussed, where each party possess some of the function’s input. Classical communicational complexity of this function can be evaluated by three classical bits. In classical theory, the three party modular function can’t be evaluated by two classical bits, but using qua...

Formulating a research project to be designed and implemented by a junior level class during a short time period is a formidable undertaking. In this paper the authors discuss the problem of rough querying of databases presented to the information systems course and the special issues involved with the design and development of such a system. Of particular note was the greater emphasis in this ...

The extent to which labour market rigidity can be beneficial for an economy is investigated in a model where technological change is non-general purpose and different types of skills are available to workers. More precisely, specific skills lock a worker into a particular technology but increases productivity. Conversely, general skills allow workers to move across technologies at the cost of l...

In positive psychology literature, resilience is among indexes that help one to adjust with negative situation and have better function (1, 2). Resilience is shaped in family context and could be fostered (3-7). Better parenting styles have constructive effects on resilience skill (1, 5). This index has been studied in various populations whom have experienced hard psychological situation (8). ...

The aim of this paper is to provide an overview for the research that has been done so far in signcryption area. The paper also presents the extensions for the signcryption scheme and discusses the security in signcryption and the practical application of signcryption in real life. Because the elliptic curve cryptography became the newest and most efficient method for public key cryptography, i...

—A communicational reality is a culturally-specific conceptualization of social space constructed and shared by people through the act of communication. This article examines the role of technology in the construction of communicational realities, acknowledging that it is neither a neutral tool nor an autonomous agent in the process. The knowledge of how we use technology to engender communicat...
