HTTP cookies have been widely used for maintaining session states, personalizing, authenticating, and tracking user behaviors. Despite their importance and usefulness, cookies have raised public concerns on Internet privacy because they can be exploited by third-parties to track user behaviors and build user profiles. In addition, stolen cookies may also incur severe security problems. However,...

Increased consumption of whole grain cereal products has broad health benefi ts. Using an experimental whole grain fl our-milling system, we evaluated soft wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) winter wheat genotypes in whole grain fl our for use in cookies. Grain from 14 soft winter wheat cultivars grown in two locations within two crop years was milled using a short-fl ow fl our mill to produce white ...

We outline an end-to-end password authentication protocol for the web designed to be stateless and as secure as possible given legacy limitations of the web browser and performance constraints of commercial web servers. Our scheme is secure against very strong but passive attackers able to observe both network traffic and the server’s database state. At the same time, our scheme is simple for w...

We present a method for measuring the reach and frequency of online ad campaigns by audience attributes. This method uses a combination of data sources, including ad server logs, publisher provided user data (PPD), census data, and a representative online panel. It adjusts for known problems with cookie data and potential non-representative and inaccurate PPD. It generalizes for multiple publis...

We consider a one-dimensional transient cookie random walk. It is known from a previous paper [3] that a cookie random walk (Xn) has positive or zero speed according to some positive parameter α > 1 or ≤ 1. In this article, we give the exact rate of growth of (Xn) in the zero speed regime, namely: for 0 < α < 1, Xn/n α+1 2 converges in law to a Mittag-Leffler distribution whereas for α = 1, Xn(...

The current study investigated non-culminating accomplishments through an experimental lens. We used a well-established paradigm for studying real-time language processing using eye-tracking, the visual world paradigm. Our was modeled after Altmann and Kamide’s (2007) investigation of aspectual information contained in perfect verb form (e.g., has eaten). compared English-speaking adults’ inter...

A cookie-cutter strategy to reform science will cause resentment, not improvement.
