This assignment consists of several, somewhat open-ended problems. You should pick one of them to do. If you would like to do a half-semester project instead, please submit your project proposal instead of the assignment. A project proposal should be 2–5 pages and map out background, motivation, technical approach, and expected outcome of your project. You may do this assignment by yourself or ...

Purpose In real life, we only know the consequences of each possible action with some uncertainty. A typical example is interval uncertainty, when lower and upper bounds on expected gain. usual way to compare such interval-valued alternatives use optimism–pessimism criterion developed by Nobelist Leo Hurwicz. this approach, a weighted combination worst-case best-case gains maximized. There exis...

The 2019 Directive on Open Data and the Re-use of Public Sector Information draws together two traditions in ensuring proactive access to government data. On one hand, it embraces concept ‘open data’, a rooted accountability transparency for citizen participation. other directive covers re-use non-sensitive public sector information, which is deemed crucial internal market realisation European ...

With the development of cloud computing, storage and processing massive visual media data has gradually transferred to server. For example, if intelligent video monitoring system cannot process a large amount locally, will be uploaded cloud. Therefore, how in without exposing original become an important research topic. We propose single-server version somewhat homomorphic encryption cryptosyst...

In this work, we initiate the formal treatment of cryptographic constructions (“Polly Cracker”) based on the hardness of computing remainders modulo an ideal. We start by formalising and studying the relation between the ideal remainder problem and the problem of computing a Gröbner basis. We show both positive and negative results. On the negative side, we define a symmetric Polly Cracker encr...

Introduction: Minocycline has anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and anti-oxidant effects. Preclinical data suggest that minocycline could be beneficial for treating common neurological disorders, including Parkinson disease and multiple sclerosis. Methods: In this study, the effects of minocycline on harmaline-induced motor and cognitive impairments were studied in male Wistar rats. The rats ...

to evaluate the quality of services in hospitals can rely on mortality rate and side effects rate. according to performed studies, side effects rate is a better indicator to evaluate the quality of hospital services, therefore decreasing of side effects is one of the main objectives in hospital management. a side effect of open-heart surgery is the skin damage. some of iranian patients who were...
