Recent results have shown that structured codes can be used to construct good channel codes, source codes and physical layer network codes for Gaussian channels. For Gaussian channels with secrecy constraints, however, efforts to date rely on random codes. In this work, we advocate that structured codes are useful for providing secrecy, and show how to compute the secrecy rate when structured c...

stated that the Focus article did not "ade-quately explore the artist's or art faculty responsibility for learning to use art materials properly," and that Monona Rossol and I didn't believe that the hazard labeling regulations for art materials were adequate. Gottsegen also states that Rossol and I "place the blame for all this in the laps of the manufacturers of art materials or consulting to...

The identification and recognition of temporal rainfall patterns is important useful not only for climatological studies, but mainly supporting rainfall–runoff modeling water resources management. Clustering techniques applied to data provide meaningful ways producing concise inclusive pattern classifications. In this paper, a timeseries coming from the Greek National Bank Hydrological Meteorol...

This paper discusses the use of computer–aided verification as a practical means for analysing quantum information systems; specifically, the BB84 protocol for quantum key distribution is examined using this method. This protocol has been shown to be unconditionally secure against all attacks in an information–theoretic setting, but the relevant security proof requires a thorough understanding ...

During recent years there has been increasing interest in the study of fat absorption, particularly in the investigation of conditions associated with steatorrhoea. The need for a single diagnostic test for steatorrhoea, suitable for use with both outpatients and in-patients, has become apparent. Ideally, such a test should be easy to carry out for the patient and nursing staff as well as for t...
