We propose a coin-flip protocol which yields a string of strong, random coins and is fully simulatable against poly-sized quantum adversaries on both sides. It can be implemented with quantum-computational security without any set-up assumptions, since our construction only assumes mixed commitment schemes which we show how to construct in the given setting. We then show that the interactive ge...

A mixed graph means a graph containing both oriented edges and undirected edges. The nullity of the Hermitian-adjacency matrix of a mixed graph G, denoted by ηH(G), is referred to as the multiplicity of the eigenvalue zero. In this paper, for a mixed unicyclic graph G with given order and matching number, we give a formula on ηH(G), which combines the cases of undirected and oriented unicyclic ...

We present model-based image simulations for zero-loss and plasmon-loss filtered images at 20 kV for graphene and silicon based on the mutual coherence approach. In addition, a new approximation for the mixed dynamic form factor is introduced. In our calculation multiple elastic scattering and one inelastic scattering are taken into account. The simulation shows that even the intensity of zero-...

This paper describes a bitmap indexing based technique to cluster XML documents. XML documents can be hierarchically represented by elements. To improve performance of information retrieval, documents can be indexed using bitmap techniques. Such a bitmap index is sparse, meaning it contains unnecessarily many zero bits, especially for the word dimension. To remove zero bits and improve the perf...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of generalized mixed equilibrium problems, the set of solutions of variational inequality problems, the zero point of maximal monotone operators, and the set of two countable families of quasi-φ-nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces. Moreover, the strong convergence theorems of...

this experiment was conducted to improve the nutritive value of barley stubble for two consecutive years. after harvesting crop, at first year, a completely randomized design, with a 3 × 3 factorial experiment was conducted in which 27 plots were divided into nine treatments. the treatments including zero, 2.5 and five percent urea each with zero, three and six percent molasses were mixed with ...

We explore transport properties of a normal metal-superconductor-normal metal (NSN) junction, where the superconducting region supports mixed singlet and chiral triplet pairings. We show that in the subgapped regime when the chiral triplet pairing amplitude dominates over that of the singlet, a resonance phenomena emerges out where all the quantum mechanical scattering probabilities acquire a v...

In this paper, we present a characteristic set method for mixed differential and difference polynomial systems. We introduce the concepts of coherent, regular, proper irreducible, and strongly irreducible ascending chains and study their properties. We give an algorithm which can be used to decompose the zero set for a finitely generated differential and difference polynomial sets into the unio...

A model for the statistical analysis of the total amount of insurance paid out on a policy is developed and applied. The model simultaneously deals with the number of claims (zero or more) and the amount of each claim. The number of claims is from a Poisson based discrete distribution. Individual claim sizes are from a continuous right skewed distribution. The resulting distribution of total cl...
