In the future planned interplanetary expedition mission to Mars, spaceflight crewmembers will be exposed to an environment that is completely unique from anything they are accustomed to on Earth. Due to the characteristics of these missions, a challenge will be to design an environment that allows crewmembers to easily work and live in for extended durations. One of the challenges associated wi...

Crystal River/Kings Bay is a spring-fed estuarine system located on the west coast of the Florida peninsula. During 2008-2009, a field investigation was conducted to measure submarine groundwater discharges (SGDs) from numerous spring vents in Kings Bay. Based on directly measured real-time SGD data, an empirical relationship that links SGD with tides in Kings Bay and the groundwater level meas...

This paper discusses the Jambi kingdom and its existence as a country located in international trade routes. is interesting to study because growth period coincided with entry development of Islam archipelago. Thus, this examines influence on Kingdom. By using multi-dimensional approach supported by application historical methods that refer scientific history research procedures, results are ex...

In this paper we revisit previous work in the BPK model and point out subtle problems concerning security proofs of concurrent and resettable zero knowledge (cZK and rZK, for short). Our analysis shows that the cZK and rZK simulations proposed for previous (in particular all round-optimal) protocols are distinguishable from real executions. Therefore some of the questions about achieving round ...

We show how to construct laconic honest-verifier statistical zeroknowledge Diophantine arguments of knowledge (HVSZK AoK) that a committed tuple of integers belongs to S for all languages in bounded arithmetic. While doing this, we propose a new algorithm for computing the Lagrange representation of nonnegative integers and a new efficient representing polynomial for the exponential relation. A...

BACKGROUND Religiosity in health care delivery has attracted some attention in contemporary literature. The religious beliefs and practices of patients play an important role in the recovery of the patient. Pregnant women and women in labour exhibit their faith and use religious artefacts. This phenomenon is poorly understood in Ghana. The study sought to investigate the religious beliefs and p...

Using 103,133 news items collected from Daum News, the second most popular news portal in South Korea, we provide multidimensional analyses of gender and age differences in news consumption. We quantify such differences in four different dimensions: 1) by actual news items; 2) by topic 3) by issue; and 4) by angle. We found that angle preferences can better explain the difference of news consum...
