Incompatibility of quantum devices is a useful resource in various information theoretical tasks, and it at the heart some fundamental features theory. While incompatibility measurements channels well studied, instruments has not been explored much detail. In this work, we revise notion instrument compatibility introduced literature that call traditional compatibility. Then, introduce parallel ...

Access control schemes come in all shapes and sizes, which makes choosing the right one for a particular application a challenge. Yet today’s techniques for comparing access control schemes completely ignore the setting in which the scheme is to be deployed. In this paper, we present a formal framework for comparing access control schemes with respect to a particular application. The analyst’s ...

Often, increased security comes at the expense of user convenience, performance, or compatibility with other systems. The right level of security depends on specific site and user needs, which must be carefully balanced. We have designed and built a new cryptographic file system called NCryptfs with the primary goal of allowing users to tailor the level of security vs. convenience to fit their ...

Memristive devices are novel devices, which can be used in applications such as memory, logic, and neuromorphic systems. A memristive device offers several advantages to existing applications: nonvolatility, good scalability, effectively no leakage current, and compatibility with CMOS technology, both electrically and in terms of manufacturing. Several models for memristive devices have been de...

In this paper the possibilities for research into the development of a design method for user centred design based upon seven design principles formulated by Donald Norman (Norman, 1988) are reviewed. Special attention is focused on the principle of natural mapping and the possibilities for grouping and configuration of interfaces therein. Although it is concluded that Norman’s principles could...

There are reasons to believe that mechanisms exist in the solar interior which lead to random density perturbations in the resonant region of the Large Mixing Angle solution to the solar neutrino problem. We find that, in the presence of these density perturbations, the best fit point in the (sin 2θ,∆m) parameter space moves to smaller values, compared with the values obtained for the standard ...
