Software-based DRM systems promise fast access to a large market. But for a long time it has been assumed that software-based DRM systems are inherently insecure and should not be used for high quality content. We present a way to build secure software-based DRM systems. After analysing the weaknesses of current DRM systems we devise a strategy for the construction of software-based DRM systems...

PURPOSE Locally advanced rectal cancer may require an intraoperative decision regarding curative multivisceral resection (MVR) of adjacent organs. In bulky tumor cases, ensuring sufficient distal resection margin (DRM) for achievement of oncologic safety is very difficult. This study is designed to evaluate the adequate length of DRM in multiviscerally resected rectal cancer. METHODS A total ...

Digital Rights Management (DRM) solutions have generated much interest because of their influence on the expectations and responsibilities of customers and related organizations. It was created to restrict piracy and enhance digital media sales, however, it is found to be unable to fulfill its objectives. We find the protections by DRM lack an understanding of the end user and the evolving natu...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate how different types of strategic interaction affect firms’ optimal levels of digital rights management (DRM). In our game-theoretical duopoly model, the firms do not directly compete with prices, but they become interdependent while coping with digital piracy. Our analysis shows that (1) stricter public copy protection by the government leads to lower...

Digital rights management (DRM) is increasingly becoming a necessity for content management and distribution in highly networked environments such as the Internet. However, very few DRM models have been able to achieve commercial success and acceptance among users. This paper analyzes the problems with current DRM environments and proposes an open layered framework for development of DRM system...

Digital Rights Management or DRM has been mainly used to provide access control protection for multimedia products marketed to consumers, like music and movies. There are also a number of DRM products, like Authentica and Microsoft’s RMS, that aim to protect documents for enterprises. However, none of these products provide for all the needs of an enterprise, and furthermore these products do n...

The genus Trechosiella Jeannel, 1960 (Carabidae: Trechinae) is revised. In addition to the known species T. laetula (Péringuey, 1898), T. scotti (Jeannel, 1937), T. basilewskyi Jeannel, 1960 and T. katicola Jeannel, 1964, T. endroedyyoungai spec. nov., T. oligophthalma spec. nov. and T. scotti swartbergensis subspec. nov. are newly described. Trechosiella laetulaperingueyi (Jeannel, 1926) is re...

This research investigated the relationship between false memories induced by two different paradigms (misinformation and Deese-Roediger-McDermott [DRM]). The misinformation effect refers to the phenomenon that a person's recollection of a witnessed event can be altered after exposure to misleading information about the event. DRM false memory represents the intrusion of words that are semantic...

Infection of human erythrocytes by the apicomplexan malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum results in endovacuolar uptake of 4 host proteins that reside in erythrocyte detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs). Whether this vacuolar transport reflects selective uptake of host DRM proteins remains unknown. A further complication is that DRMs of vastly different protein and cholesterol contents have b...
