Due to its universality oblivious transfer (OT) is a primitive of great importance in secure multi-party computation. OT is impossible to implement from scratch in an unconditionally secure way, but there are many reductions of OT to other variants of OT, as well as other primitives such as noisy channels. It is important to know how efficient such unconditionally secure reductions can be in pr...

Despite the accumulating evidence suggesting that the neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) plays a role in neuropsychiatric disorders characterized by social dysfunction, the influence of OT on the nonsocial aspects of learning and memory have been less investigated. To foster research in this area, we review the effects of OT on learning and memory in animal models and humans. In healthy animal models, ...

Complete denture fabrication in clinically compromised situations such as flabby ridges is a challenging task for the clinician. Accurate impressioning of these tissues plays a major role in ensuring a well-fitting prosthesis. In this paper, the authors have proposed a newer technique of impression making of the flabby tissues using a combination of readily available newer and older materials t...

1. INTRODUCTION. Sinhala, an Indo-Aryan language spoken in Sri Lanka by approximately 13 million people, has a complicated system of nominal morphology. Number marking on nouns in the nominative case is based on a series of twelve noun classes partially determined by animacy. The marking of definiteness and case on nouns is simpler in some respects because the shape of these markers are determi...

This paper presents a novel account of Differential Object Marking as an instance case assigned by post-syntactic Agree-Case operation that transduces agreement relations established in the syntax marking goal rather than probe. In this sense, it is modern interpretation Nichols' (1986) Head-Marking and Dependent dichotomy. Analyzing intricate details Markin Kashmiri, I show not all but some no...

food labels play an important role in well being of consumers. as a part of it, date marking is a valid guide to shelf life of a food. the present study was done in 2010, in smart food center, wollongong; new south wales, australia to determine if the residents are familiar with date marking of food products. data was accumulated by either interview guide or questionnaire method. basic unselect...

BACKGROUND Tissue microarrays (TMAs) are used to study genomics and proteomics in several tumour tissue samples. Cell lines (CC) are of great importance in the study of the genetic changes in tumours, and some reveal several aspects of tumour oncogenesis. There are few published reports on Ewing's tumours with TMAs including original tumours (OT) and corresponding CC. METHODS We have performe...

The study examines strategies multilingual children use to interpret grammatical relations, focusing on their two primary languages, Lajamanu Warlpiri and Light Warlpiri. Both languages use mixed systems for indicating grammatical relations. In both languages ergative-absolutive case-marking indicates core arguments, but to different extents in each language. In Lajamanu Warlpiri, pronominal cl...

PURPOSE : The purpose of this study is to establish whether motor vehicular crash (MVC) case fatality varies across different urbanization levels in the USA using a representative sample of crashes. METHODS : Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between urbanization level [i.e., central city (CC), suburban (SU) and others (OT)] and mortality were estimated ...

The operator form of the generalized optical theorem (OT) obtained earlier for scalar wave equation is extended to case electromagnetic radiation, as well other equations. It shown that in transition from usual OT, instead "forward" scattering amplitude, diagonal matrix element T-scattering corresponding incident appears. transitions known forms OT following special cases are ...
