Garden type I fractures include incomplete fractures and impacted fractures. With advances in scientific technology and medical treatment, certain deficiencies of the Garden classification have become apparent. The authors hypothesized that the incidence of incomplete femoral neck fractures was low and that impacted femoral neck fractures were not undisplaced and stable fractures. A new method ...

We present a cognitive process model of human sentence comprehension based on generalized left-corner parsing. A search heuristic based upon previouslyparsed corpora derives garden path effects, garden path paradoxes, and the local coherence effect.

PVSS stands for publicly verifiable secret sharing. In PVSS, a dealer shares a secret among multiple share holders. He encrypts the shares using the shareholders' encryption algorithms and publicly proves that the encrypted shares are valid. Most of the existing PVSS schemes do not employ an ElGamal encryption to encrypt the shares. Instead, they usually employ other encryption algorithms like ...

A non-interactive, simple and efficient publicly verifiable secret sharing (PVSS) is constructed based on the bilinear pairing on elliptic curves, which has all advantages of Schoenmakers’ PVSS in [15]. Moreover, in the scheme’s distribution of shares phase, only using bilinearity of bilinear paring, anybody can verify that the participants received whether correct shares without implementing i...

We present a new protocol to perform non-interactive verifiable secret redistribution (VSR) for secrets distributed with Shamir’s secret sharing scheme. We base our VSR protocol on Desmedt and Jajodia’s redistribution protocol for linear secret sharing schemes, which we specialize for Shamir’s scheme. We extend their redistribution protocol with Feldman’s non-interactive verifiable secret shari...

Publicly verifiable secret sharing (PVSS) allows not only shareholders themselves but also everyone verify the shares of a secret distributed by a dealer. It has a lot of electronic applications. In this paper, we propose a publicly verifiable member-join protocol for threshold signatures. In our proposal, a new member can join a PVSS scheme to share the secret only with the help of old shareho...

In Shamir’s (t, n) threshold secret sharing scheme, one secret s is divided into n shares by a dealer and all shares are shared among n shareholders, such that knowing t or more than t shares can reconstruct this secret; but knowing fewer than t shares cannot reveal any information about the secret s. The secret reconstruction phase in Shamir’s (t, n) threshold secret sharing is very simple and...

This paper describes a practical method of developing custom HPC software products using a store of libraries and tools independent from the OS called a "garden". All dependencies from the product to libraries of the underlying OS distribution are carefully severed, isolating the package from instability due to system upgrades and ensuring repeatable deterministic builds on different flavors of...

This work is an investigation into part of the human sentence parsing mechanism (HSPM). The major test of the psychological val idi ty of any model of the HSPM is that it fail on precisely those sentences that humans find to be garden paths. It is hypothesized that the HSPM consists of at least two processes. We call the first process the syntactic processor, and the second wil l be known as th...
