Relay attacks pose a significant threat against communicating devices that are required to operate within a short-distance from each other and a restricted time frame. In the field of smart cards, distance bounding protocols have been proposed as an effective countermeasure, whereas, in the field of smartphones, many proposals suggest the use of (natural) ambient sensing as an effective alterna...

Ellison anld Konorski (1964, 1965) proposed the procedure by which the separation of the instrumental motor and the cJassical salivary responses was possible within the same trial. Namely, two chained conditioned stimuli (CSs) were used; the first elicited a multiple instrumental response and the second, immediately following the first one, was merely a well established signal of food. In our p...

Recent research has demonstrated that cortical motor areas are engaged when observing motor actions of others. However, little is known about the possible contribution of the motor system for evaluating the correctness of others' actions. To address this question we designed an MEG experiment in which subjects were executing and observing motor actions with and without errors. In the execution ...

The posterior sector of Broca's area (Brodmann area 44), a brain region critical for language, may have evolved from neurons active during observation and execution of manual movements. Imaging studies showing increased Broca's activity during execution, imagination, imitation and observation of hand movements support this hypothesis. Increased Broca's activity in motor task, however, may simpl...

Many tasks in our daily life demand not only the use of different fingers of one hand in a serial fashion, but also to alternate from one hand to the other. Here, we investigated performance in a bimanual serial reaction time task (SRTT) with particular emphasis on learning-related changes in reaction time (RT) for consecutive button presses for homologous index- and middle fingers. The bimanua...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the current study was to explore the role of adjustments in motor control and conflict adaptation in younger and older adults' prepotent response suppression. METHODS Participants performed repeated pairs of key-presses on a piano-type keyboard as well as key-presses that conflicted with that prepotent pair. We used motion capture to assess cognitive and motor contri...

Tableting by direct compression (DC) is one of the simplest and most cost-effective drug manufacturing approaches. However, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) excipients lack flow properties required to meet needs high-speed industrial tablet presses. Therefore, majority DC APIs are modified via processing/co-processing particle engineering techniques boost their properties. Spray drying ...

This paper presents a hypothetical Supreme Court judgment issued in response to similarly entrenchment problem arising the context of United Kingdom's withdrawal from European Union. The article imagines scenario which Conservative government facing electoral defeat presses legislation through Parliament is intended entrench - very high degree withdrawal. litigation suggests that would upheld s...

The Romance de doña Antonia Lisboa is one of the most prolific stories popularized news pamphlets in cordel literature Eighteenth century, present relevant printing presses that period. One them, undoubtedly, was Herederos Juan Jolis, Barcelona, whose copy ballad preserved at University Geneva. Its edition and study, its relationship with other similar rewritings will serve as an approach to su...

obtaining, from the models, ratios to run the presses at and running the presses at those ratios. Results will be obtained during the next sugar processing campaign. On-line tests of direct optimal control are currently running at the Bardney Sugar Factory and their results will be evaluated at the end of current sugar campaign by calculating the content of dry substances in pressed pulp per un...
