Let G be a finite abelian group and E a subset of it. Suppose that we know for all subsets T of G of size up to k for how many x ∈ G the translate x + T is contained in E. This information is collectively called the k-deck of E. One can naturally extend the domain of definition of the k-deck to include functions on G. Given the group G when is the k-deck of a set in G sufficient to determine th...

The present Standard Model prediction for muon g − 2 is reviewed. Emphasis is put in discussing the main hadronic uncertainties. December 2001 Invited talk at “Kaon 2001”, 6-13 June 2001, Pisa, Italy.

A scale height of the vertical water vapor distribution in the troposphere is shown to be related to the rate at which the total integrated water vapor (IWV) decorrelates with horizontal separation. This relationship is based on the departure from simple Kolmogorov behavior of the turbulence structure of the IWV as the horizontal separation becomes a significant fraction of the scale height of ...

objective: considering the use of triple antibiotic paste (tap) for root canal treatment of open apex teeth, this study aimed to assess the effect of tap and calcium hydroxide (ch) on bond strength of composite to dentin.   methods: this in-vitro study was conducted on 32 extracted human premolar teeth. after disinfection with 2% thymol solution, the enamel on the buccal surface of specimens wa...

objective: in necrotic immature teeth, intra canal medicaments such as triple antibiotic paste (tap) and calcium hydroxide (ch) are used for root canal disinfection and regeneration treatment. however, the effect of these medicaments on dental pulp fibroblasts has yet to be known. this study aimed to assess the cytotoxicity of ch and tap against cultured human dental pulp fibroblasts (hdpfs) ob...

In this paper the newly proposed RMAC system is analysed and a generic attack is presented. The attack can be used to find one of the two keys in the system faster than by an exhaustive search. Also, a serious attack on RMAC used with triple-DES is presented.

Compositional data need a special treatment prior to correlation analysis. In this paper we argue why standard transformations for compositional data are not suitable for computing correlations, and why the use of raw or log-transformed data is neither meaningful. As a solution, a procedure based on balances is outlined, leading to sensible correlation measures. The construction of the balances...
