We present Scratch, Click & Vote remote voting scheme. The scheme is end-to-end verifiable and allows for voting over the Internet. It guarantees security against malicious hardware and software used by a voter; a voter’s computer does not get any knowledge about the voter’s choice. Moreover, it can blindly change the voter’s ballot with a small probability only.

Default configuration of various software applications often neglects security objectives. We tested the default configuration of TLS in dozen web and application servers. The results show that “secure by default” principle should be adopted more broadly by developers and package maintainers. In addition, system administrators cannot rely blindly on default security options.

The characteristics of the synchrotron radiation generated by an electron beam in bending magnets, planar undulators and wiggler magnets are derived, with emphasis on the spectral flux, brilliance, and power densities. The interaction of the electron beam with the insertion device field is discussed in terms of closed orbit distortion, tune shift and non-linear effect. The technology of permane...

A necessary and sufficient condition in terms of lower cut sets are given for the insertion of a $gamma-$continuous function between two comparable real-valued functions.

Among the various image quality assessment (IQA) tasks, blind IQA (BIQA) is particularly challenging due to the absence of knowledge about the reference image and distortion type. Features based on natural scene statistics (NSS) have been successfully used in BIQA, while the quality relevance of the feature plays an essential role to the quality prediction performance. Motivated by the fact tha...

E nteral feeding is a common and necessary practice in critical care. Clinical practice for verification of smalland large-bore feeding tubes is variable. Although radiographic confirmation is the reference standard for blindly inserted small-bore tubes, it is not consistently performed to verify large-bore tubes before administration of formula or medication. These practices raise concerns; bo...

OBJECTIVE To propose a new approach to privacy preserving data selection, which helps the data users access human genomic datasets efficiently without undermining patients' privacy. METHODS Our idea is to let each data owner publish a set of differentially-private pilot data, on which a data user can test-run arbitrary association-test algorithms, including those not known to the data owner a...

background and objectives: enteropathogenic escherichia coli (epec) divided into two groups typical and atypical (aspect). the main virulence genes are located in a pathogenicity island called lee ( locus of enterocyte effacement ). lee frequently inserted in trna genes of selc , pheu and phev in the bacterial chromosome. tepec and aepec strains have some differences in their pathogenicity. the...

background and objectives: enteropathogenic escherichia coli (epec) strains can be detected by serogrouping and the presence of enterocyte attaching- effacing (eae) gene. most epec strains belong to a certain o antigenic group. locus of enterocyte effacement (lee) pathogenicity island contains the eae gene and secretory proteins (esps) that introduce the attaching-effacing lesion. lee inserted ...
