Secure sketches are useful in extending cryptographic schemes to biometric data since they allow recovery of fuzzy secrets under inevitable noise. In practice, secrets derived from biometric data are seldom used alone, but typically employed in a multi-factor or a multimodality setting where multiple secrets with different roles and limitations are used together. To handle multiple secrets, we ...

Modern science founded on the notions of “scientific materialism” projects an illusion that the conceptual framework of essentially propped up by linear theories is an adequate model of nature’s non-linear processes. If physicists, evolutionists, biologists or in general scientists believe that analytical science in its present form would reveal all the secrets of “life, the universe and everyt...

We analyze some specific aspects concerning conditional orderings and relations among them. To this purpose we define a suitable concept of reversed conditional ordering and prove some related results. In particular we aim to compare the univariate stochastic orderings ≤st, ≤hr, and ≤lr in terms of differences among different notions of conditional orderings. Some applications of our result to ...

In the change of the orientation one has to reverse the sequence (the operation introduced in [7]) and to change the second restriction one has to rotate the sequence (the operation introduced in [26]). The goal of the paper is to prove, mostly simple, facts about the relationship between properties and attributes of the finite sequence and its rotation (similar results about reversing had been...

Thromb Haemost 2007; 98: 90–96 For Thrombosis and Haemostasis’ 50 th birthday I have been invited to write about a favorite topic, focusing not only on the scientific aspects but also including some historical and personal aspects. I have chosen to write about vitamin K-dependent protein S describing not only how 30 years ago I got involved in studying the molecule but also report what the pres...

This paper reports first steps towards a formal model for strategy leakage. We generalize the representation of prior adversarial knowledge from a distribution on secrets to a distribution on strategies for generating secrets, which we call an environment. Applying information-theoretic techniques to environments allows us to disentangle the information leakage about a secret from the leakage a...

abstract the great quran is the honorable speech of allah which was descended to his honest prophet as a miracle to represent the truth of his mission of summoning people to god. allah- glory to him- has expressed everything in the quran. as the great quran emphasizes, it is full of scientific points and information currently and even very recently discovered by scientists; and it is a wonder t...
