What information is available in biometric features besides that needed for the biometric recognition process? What if a biometric feature contains Personally Identifiable Information? Will the whole biometric system become a threat to privacy? This paper is an attempt to quantifiy the link between biometrics and privacy. For a number of biometric-personal(ity) combinations, the availability, d...

Four experiments contrasted the cue-familiarity hypothesis of feeling-of-knowing judgments (FKJs) and tip-of-the-tongue feelings (TOTs) to the target-retrievability hypothesis. Familiarity of the cues was contrasted to memorability of the targets in a paired-associate design (e.g., A-B A-B, A-B A-B', A-B A-D, A-B C-D), in which the number of repetitions of the cue A terms was dissociated from t...

Forty Ss were given 5 or I0 paired-presentation training trials on paired-associate items followed immediately by 0, 1, or 5 unreinforced recall tests. The effects of the immediate test trials were to increase substantially long-term retention, as measured either by error frequency or respons e latency, to increase stereotypy of both correct and incorrect responses, and to reduce the frequency ...

Proofs of Retrievability (PoR), introduced by Juels and Kaliski [JK07], allow the client to store a file F on an untrusted server, and later run an efficient audit protocol in which the server proves that it (still) possesses the client’s data. Constructions of PoR schemes attempt to minimize the client and server storage, the communication complexity of an audit, and even the number of file-bl...

This article describes the use of the ITI implant system in rehabilitation of the maxillary anterior sextant of a 41-year-old patient. The Syn-Octa TS abutment system was used in this case, along with a customized transfer aid for intraoral positioning of these elements. This system offers the advantage of retrievability of the prosthesis in multiunit cases.

Background Retrieval practice promotes retention of learned information more than restudying the information. However, benefits multiple-choice testing over in real-world educational contexts and role practically relevant moderators such as feedback learners’ ability to retrieve tested content from memory (i.e., retrievability) are still underexplored. Objective The present research examines qu...

In this paper we deene a Stochastic Petri Net (SPN) semantics for Stochastic Process Algebras (SPAs), a recently introduced formalism that ooers a novel approach for performance modeling. The proposed semantics is evaluated in terms of three criteria: Con-currency and Retrievability, as deened by Olderog for untimed net semantics, and Markov Equivalence for the stochastic aspects.
