Despite the Internet has been rapidly developed in the past three decades, its intrinsic security mechanism, e.g., IP source address validation and user identification authentication, is still not well addressed. This results in numerous cyber security threats. In order to enhance the Internet accountability and deter potential cyber-attacks, in this paper, we propose TrueID, an IPv6 header ext...

The digital content includes valuable as well as biased, false and demagogic information. The objectives of this review paper are, i) To understand the perceptions of users regarding Web credibility judgment and the problems faced by them...

In credibility ratemaking, one seeks to estimate the conditional mean of a given risk. The most accurate estimator (as measured by squared error loss) is the predictive mean. To calculate the predictive mean one needs the conditional distribution of losses given the parameter of interest (often the conditional mean) and the prior distribution of the parameter of interest. Young (1997. ASTIN Bul...

The year 1970 has been suggested as a starting date for the "third age of quantum chemistry," in which theory takes on not only qualitative but also quantitative value. In fact, each of the years 1960, 1970, 1972, and 1977 is of historical value in the unraveling of the structure and energetics of the CH(2) molecule, methylene. What took place for methylene, namely the establishment of credibil...

In this paper, a system for P2P networks with discrete time delay based on game theory presented. This system is proposed to describe evolution procedure of the credibility of various members in the P2P network. Through analyzing the stability of the system model based on the Lyapunov stability theory, the conditions for Hopf bi furcation and stability are obtained. Finally, some numerical exam...

Self-help groups benefit clients by linking them to people who have "been there" and are successfully coping with their situations. Mental health/substance use agencies can increase access to evidence-based benefits of self-help groups by engaging them in organizational exchanges. Organizational theories are used to frame beneficial exchanges with self-help groups. Adaptational theory is used t...

coalitional game deals with situations that involve cooperations among players, and there are different solution concepts such as the core,the shapley value and the kernel. in many situations, there is no way to predict the payoff functions except for the expert experiencesand subjective intuitions, which leads to the coalitional game with fuzzy payoffs. within the framework of credibility theo...

undoubtedly, tooth decay is still one of the most significant problems in human communities. tooth decay is defined as a microbial disease that causes demineralization of hard tissues and degradation of organic components of teeth. although there are various theories on etiology of dental caries, miller’s acidogenic theory (1890) and gottileb’s proteolitic theory (1933) have gained the most cre...

We present a general hierarchical Bayesian model where Intelligence Sources make Reports about events or states in the world, which we call Hypotheses. The underlying multi-entity Bayes net for even a simple scenario has hundreds of nodes. We hide the details via Wigmore diagrams and a Google Maps GUI. Our application domain is Intelligence data fusion in asymmetrical warfare (terrorism). Some ...
