We present a combinatorial coverage measurement analysis for (subsets) of the TLS cipher suite registries by analyzing the specified ciphers of IANA, ENISA, BSI, Mozilla and NSA Suite B. The method introduced here may contribute towards the design of quality measures of cipher suites, and may also be applied more broadly to the analysis of configurable systems. Keywords—Combinatorial testing, c...

Kaiser’s single-variable measure of sampling adequacy (MSA) is a very useful index for debugging inappropriate items before factor analysis (FA) solution fitted to an item-pool dataset item selection purposes. For reasons discussed in the article, however, MSA hardly used nowadays this context. In our view, unfortunate. present proposal, we first dis...

One of the major challenges in the field of neurally driven evolved autonomous agents is deciphering the neural mechanisms underlying their behavior. Aiming at this goal, we have developed the multi-perturbation Shapley value analysis (MSA)--the first axiomatic and rigorous method for deducing causal function localization from multiple-perturbation data, substantially improving on earlier appro...

Dialectal Arabic (DA) is significantly different from the Arabic language taught in schools and used in written communication and formal speech (broadcast news, religion, politics, etc.). There are many existing researches in the field of Arabic language Sentiment Analysis (SA); however, they are generally restricted to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) or some dialects of economic or political inte...

Recently identified genes located downstream (3') of the msmEF (transport encoding) gene cluster, msmGH, and located 5' of the structural genes for methanesulfonate monooxygenase (MSAMO) are described from Methylosulfonomonas methylovora. Sequence analysis of the derived polypeptide sequences encoded by these genes revealed a high degree of identity to ABC-type transporters. MsmE showed similar...

Identifying the functional roles of elements in a neural network is one of the first challenges in understanding neural information processing. Aiming at this goal, lesion studies have been used in neuroscience, most of them employing single lesions and hence limited in their ability to reveal the significance of interacting elements. This paper presents the Multi-lesion Shapley value Analysis ...

BACKGROUND To investigate the relationship between presenting clinical manifestations and imaging features of multisystem neuronal dysfunction in MSA patients, using (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ((18)F-FDG PET). METHODS We studied 50 consecutive MSA patients with characteristic brain MRI findings of MSA, including 34 patients with early MSA-parkinsonian (MSA-P) and 16...

Parkinson’s disease (PD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and multiple system atrophy (MSA) are distinctive neurodegenerative disorders, which manifest similar motor features. Their differentiation is crucial but difficult. Dysfunctional speech, especially dysprosody, is a common symptom accompanying PD, PSP, and MSA from early stages. We hypothesized that automated analysis of monologue ...
