Abstract Positive social capital-building outcomes were identified in a longitudinal evaluation of veteran-specific initiative supporting desistance from crime and substance misuse. A secondary analysis the qualitative data generated is presented here. We identify three transformational subjective re-alignments across veteran cohort who sustained their engagement mutual aid initiative. These ar...

In this thesis we study a problem of doing Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) and Multiparty Computations (MPC) in a model where private channels between the players and a broadcast channel is available. The adversary is active, adaptive and has an unbounded computing power. The thesis is based on two papers [CDD00, CDD99]. In [CDD00] we assume that the adversary can corrupt any set from a given a...

The exact distribution of the ratio of any magnitude to the sum of all magnitudes in an annual flood series satisfying the usual distribution-free assumptions of independence and identical distribution, and the additional parametric assumption of exponential tail behaviour with truncation, is shown to be a beta distribution of the first kind. A two-parameter linear transformation of the beta di...

Homomorphic encryption is a form of encryption which allows computation to be carried out on the encrypted data without the need for decryption. The success of quantum approaches to related tasks in a delegated computation setting has raised the question of whether quantum mechanics may be used to achieve information theoretically secure fully homomorphic encryption. Here we show, via an inform...

Under the dual pressure of energy transformation and environmental protection, how to use innovative network enhance technical innovation (TI) are significant problems for new vehicle (NEV) enterprises in China. Based on patent data China’s NEV industry from 2001 2022, combined with logical framework “Patent Analysis—Network Evolution—Empirical research”, this study deeply discusses influence e...
