In this paper we are developing an algorithm to increase the security of using HMAC function (Key-Hashed Message Authentication) to insure data integrity for exchanging archival files. Hash function is a very strong tool used in information security. The algorithm we are developing is safe, quick and will allow the University of Tabuk (UT) authorities to be sure that data of archival document w...

In this paper, referring to the Model for General Knowledge Management within the Enterprise (MGKME), the author emphasizes two of the operating elements of this model, which are essential to insure the organizational learning process that leads to the appropriate use of concepts, methods, and tools of innovative technology: “Ad hoc Infrastructures” and “Organizational Learning Processes”. Nona...

We investigate whether the intensity of emotional pain following a negative shock is different across the distribution of a person's locus of control - the extent to which individuals believe that their actions can influence future outcomes. Using panel data from Australia, we show that individuals with strong internal locus of control are psychologically insured against own and others' serious...

In recent years~ severaL species of crab have come under increasing study by scientists. Fluctuations in populations of important commercial species (the blue crab) and the commercial potential of others (the rock crab and deep sea red crab) have led t o this increased attention. But in lab situations, researchers have had problems keeping their specimens alive and healthy for long periods. It ...

Data from three recent surveys indicate that about 40 percent of workers with employment-based health insurance are enrolled in plans that their employers self-insure. Despite the considerable differences between federal regulation of these self-insured plans and state regulation of employer plans purchased from an insurance company, we find striking similarities in the populations they serve, ...

A variant on the electroor magnetostatic boundary value problem arises in accelerator physics, where a specified field, say B(0, 0, z), is desired along the z axis. In general there exist static fields B(x, y, z) that reduce to the desired field on the axis, but the “boundary condition” B(0, 0, z) is not sufficient to insure a unique solution. For example, find a field B(x, y, z) that reduces to

Objectives: Hearing impairment in children is considered as an important public health problem. Auditory function in these children is poor and depends on their hearing aids efficacy and also their ears’ status. Hearing aids are very expensive and ear disease deteriorates its performance. Therefore detecting the ear disease and offering proper treatment is necessary. The aim of this study is to...

This paper discusses the history of the Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) during the period 1975–1982. This includes the collapse of the WSC in 1975, the rebirth of WSC in 1976, and the subsequent annual conferences and other significant WSC events for the period of 1976 through 1982. This was a period of great change for the WSC, with an emphasis on developing procedures to insure the long-te...
