14 MANAGED CARE / JANUARY 2016 When Turing Pharmaceuticals raised the price of its toxoplasmosis drug, Daraprim, from $13.50 to $750 a pill, it captured the attention of policymakers in Washington that drug pricing was out of control. Now leaders in Congress are holding hearings to probe how drug companies set their prices and proposing legislation that’s aimed at reining in spending on pharmac...

Senior Probation Officer’s (SPOs) in England and Wales work at the ‘front centre’ of organisation’s hierarchy. They act as both manager developer frontline probation practitioners. Previous research has focused on emotional labour undertaken by practitioners yet there is very little SPOs, even though they must be skilful emotion managers their own emotions those supervise. Using data gathered f...

In the context of “session behaviors” for client/server systems, we propose a weakening of the compliance and sub-behaviour relations where the bias toward the client (whose “requests” must be satisfied) is pushed further with respect to the usual definitions, by admitting that “not needed” output actions from the server side can be skipped by the client. Both compliance and sub-behaviour relat...

•We address the problem of projecting data in different representations into a shared space, such that the Euclidean distance in this space provides a meaningful within-view as well as between-view similarity; •We formulate an objective function that expresses the intuitive concept that matching samples are mapped closely together in the output space, whereas non-matching samples are pushed apa...

This paper presents an algebraic attack against Trivium that breaks 625 rounds using only 4096 bits of output in an overall time complexity of 2 Trivium computations. While other attacks can do better in terms of rounds (799), this is a practical attack with a very low data usage (down from 2 output bits) and low computation time (down from 2). From another angle, our attack can be seen as a pr...
