Archives Unlocked, the U.K. National Archives’ strategic vision for archive sector, identifies need diversity to be embedded in all parts of archives sector. As workers, we ensure that “the rich society is reflected our archives’ collections, users and workers” (The Archives, 2017, p.13). Despite aims investment specific schemes (delivered by The Creative Skillset, Heritage Lottery Fund) which ...

We consider description logic knowledge bases in which the ABox can contain Boolean combinations of traditional ABox assertions (represented as clauses or sequents). A linear reduction of such knowledge bases into a standard format (allowing only conjunctive assertions) is described which preserves knowledge base satisfiability. Similar results are presented for Boolean TBoxes and Boolean combi...

Selecting a particular summative kernel (i.e., formally equivalent to a probability distribution) when filtering a digital signal can be a difficult task. An obvious solution to this problem is to filter with multiple kernels rather than with a single one, but the computing cost of such a solution can quickly become prohibitive (especially in real-time applications). Another alternative, the on...

We consider an analogue of entanglement-swapping for a set of black boxes with the most general non-local correlations consistent with relativity (including correlations which are stronger than any attainable in quantum theory). In an attempt to incorporate this phenomenon, we consider expanding the space of objects to include not only correlated boxes, but ‘couplers’, which are an analogue for...

4-bit Linear Relations play an important role in Cryptanalysis of 4-bit Bijective Crypto S-boxes. 4-bit finite differences also a major part of cryptanalysis of 4-bit substitution boxes. Count of existence of all 4-bit linear relations, for all of 16 input and 16 output 4-bit bit patterns of 4-bit bijective crypto S-boxes said as S-boxes has been reported in Linear Cryptanalysis of 4-bit S-boxe...
