We consider exceptional APN functions on F2m , which by definition are functions that are APN on infinitely many extensions of F2m . Our main result is that polynomial functions of odd degree are not exceptional, provided the degree is not a Gold number (2 +1) or a Kasami-Welch number (4 −2k +1). We also have partial results on functions of even degree, and functions that have degree 2 + 1. ∗Re...

PurposeTo determine the association between a delay in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), age, sex, body mass index (BMI) and cartilage injuries, meniscus repair, abnormal prereconstruction laxity.MethodsPatients who underwent primary ACLR at our institution from January 2005 to March 2017, with no associated were identified. Logistic regression analyses used evaluate whether ACL...

We report measurements of the specific heat and resistivity (T < 1 K) for high quality polycrystals of U(Pt1-xPdx)3 with x < 0.006. The Tc-x phase diagram can be constructed, and superconductivity is destroyed for x ≈ 0.006; this is approximately the same concentration above which the onset of large-moment antiferromagnetism is observed to occur. The splitting of the double superconducting tran...

Access-control policies can be stated more succinctly if they support both rules that grant access and rules that deny access, but this introduces the possibility that multiple rules will give conflicting conclusions for an access. In this paper, we compare a new conflict-resolution method, which uses first specificity and then deny precedence, to the conflictresolution method used by Windows N...

With the increasing popularity of mobile devices, drivers and passengers will naturally want to connect their devices to their cars. Malicious entities can and likely will try to attack such systems in order to compromise other vehicular components or eavesdrop on privacy-sensitive information. It is imperative, therefore, to address security concerns from the onset of these technologies. While...
