This paper presents an analysis of mixes and dummy traffic policies, which are building blocks of anonymous services. The goal of the paper is to bring together all the issues related to the analysis and design of mix networks. We discuss continuous and pool mixes, topologies for mix networks and dummy traffic policies. We point out the advantages and disadvantages of design decisions for mixes...

This paper presents a comparison between parallel linear and parallel neural network models. Parallel models consist of 24 separate models, one for each hour of the day. Each parallel model decomposes the load into a linear AutoRegressive (AR) part and a residual. Exogenous linear and neural network model performance is compared in predicting this residual. Three days or 72 hours of current and...

the purpose of this research was to evaluate the application of recycled aggregates of constructiondebris such as concrete, cement block and rubbles from pars-kangan site in asphalt concrete mix design. toevaluate the performance of aggregates different mix designs with recycled aggregate percentages of 0, 10,30, 50 and bitumen percentages of 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, and 6.5 were provided and two mar...

below the surface through scarifier teeth. Emulsions and medium-curing and slow-curing asphalts were used. The travelling plant-mix was not entirely satisfactory because of conditions existing on this project. It is necessary to have the windrow of material quite wet in order to get it through the travelling pug-mill mixer. The project was built late in the fall, and the water did not evaporate...

In the design of frequency-selective filters, the desired filter characteristics are specified in the frequency domain in terms of desired magnitude and phase response of the filter. In this paper we present a design approach by determining the closely approximated coefficients using powerful Evolutionary Programming to find the solution for the optimization problem in selecting the coefficient...

Heterologous protein production in yeast expression systems (i.e., Kluyveromyces lactis and Pichia pastoris) normally involves insertion of a linear expression cassette into a target locus in the host genome (1-3). Typically, an expression cassette is assembled in E. coli by first cloning a gene of interest into a circular expression vector (Figure 1A). The expression cassette comprises DNA enc...

There are different methods to build an anonymity service using MIXes. A substantial decision for doing so is the method of choosing the MIX route. In this paper we compare two special configurations: a fixed MIX route used by all participants and a network of freely usable MIXes where each participant chooses his own route. The advantages and disadvantages in respect to the freedom of choice a...

In this paper we show two attacks against universally resilient mix-nets. The first attack can be used against a number of mixnets, including Furukawa-Sako01 [6], Millimix [11], Abe98 [1], MiP-1, MiP-2 [2, 3] and Neff01 [19]. We give the details of the attack in the case of Furukawa-Sako01 mix-net. The second attack breaks the correctness of Millimix [11]. We show how to counter these attacks, ...
