Two protocols of quantum direct communication with authentication [Phys. Rev. A 73, 042305 (2006)] are recently proposed by Lee, Lim and Yang. In this paper we will show that the authenticator Trent should be prevented from knowing the secret message of communication and the protocols can be eavesdropped by Trent using the the intercept-measure-resend attack. To fix this leak, we revise the ori...

Dominions, in the sense of Isbell, are investigatedin the contextof decomposable varieties of groups. An upper and lower bound for dominions in such a variety is given in terms of the two varietal factors, and the internal structure of the group being analyzed. Finally, the following result is established: If a variety N has instances of nontrivial dominions, then for any proper subvariety Q of...

We describe an aperture synthesis radio telescope optimized for studies of the Galactic interstellar medium (ISM), providing the ability to image extended structures with high angular resolution over wide fields. The telescope produces images of atomic hydrogen emission using the 21-cm H i spectral line, and, simultaneously, continuum emission in two bands centred at 1420MHz and 408MHz, includi...

Let S be a nite nonabelian simple group, and let H be a subgroup of S. In this work, the dominion (in the sense of Isbell) of H in S in Var(S) is determined, generalizing an example of B.H. Neumann. A necessary and suucient condition for H to be epimorphically embedded in S is obtained. These results are then extended to a variety generated by a family of nite nonabelian simple groups. An epimo...

Song 4:12–15 depicts the body of bride as a ‘locked garden’ filled with fruits, exotic and medicinal plants abundant freshwater. These luxuries are said to be plentiful appealing but carry them threat spoiling. In this way, garden is ready for enjoyment, forbidden (locked) at same time. The geo-metaphor fits perfectly ancient belief Mother Earth resists dominion drive Anthropocene. Dominance al...
