objective: to translate verona service satisfaction scale-32 (vsss-32) to persian, to adapt it for iranian culture and to investigate the performance characteristics of the persian version intended to measure patient satisfaction with psychiatric care. method: the vsss-32 was translated to persian using an elaborated methodology according to world health organization guideline. in addition, und...

This paper explores the potential of executables for covert communication. Three techniques for the embedding of secret information are presented. Possible attacks on the stealthiness of these techniques are identified and countered. The presented concepts are implemented and evaluated for the IA32 architecture, for which we obtain an encoding rate of 1/27 before countermeasures and 1/89 after ...

This paper presents new circuit configurations for a more robust and efficient form of self-resetting CMOS (SRCMOS). Prior structures for SRCMOS have very high performance but are difficult to design and are not robust over process, temperature and voltage variations. The new techniques replace delay chains with logical circuits that will create pulses at the correct times, independent of opera...
