We present a simple procedure to construct non-local conserved charges for classical open strings on coset spaces. This is done by including suitable reflection matrices on the classical transfer matrix. The reflection matrices must obey certain conditions for the charges to be conserved and in involution. We then study bosonic open strings on AdS5×S. We consider boundary conditions correspondi...

We propose a new protocol providing cryptographically secure authentication to unaided humans against passive adversaries. We also propose a new generic passive attack on human identification protocols. The attack is an application of Coppersmith’s baby-step giantstep algorithm on human identification protcols. Under this attack, the achievable security of some of the best candidates for human ...

For more than 50 years, vitamin K antagonists have been the gold standard in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and in the prevention of their complications. In the last 5 years new anticoagulants dabigatran, rivaroxaban and apixaban are rapidly implemented in the clinical practice, displacing Vit. K antagonists, due to numerous of advantages they have. Dabigatran is t...

Complications involving cheek teeth extractions are prevalent. More than half of all cheek teeth extraction cases have a potential for complication. Complications may involve surrounding bone, sinus, soft tissue (peridontium, vascular, nerves, etc), and teeth. The extraction process should never be viewed as a simple one-stop procedure. In contrast, an extraction should be a process that involv...

We further study the incidence relations that arise from the various subtowers, known as Baby Monsters, which exist within the R-Monster Tower. This allows us to complete the RV T class spelling rules. We also present a method of calculating the various Baby Monsters that appear within the Monster Tower. MSC Primary: 58A30 Secondary: 58A17, 58K50.

SN 2002kg is a type IIn supernova, detected in October 2002 in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 2403. We show that the position of SN 2002kg agrees within the errors with the position of the LBV V37. Ground based and HST ACS images however show that V37 is still present after the SN 2002kg event. We compiled a lightcurve of V37 which underlines the variablity of the object, and shows that SN 2002kg...

We investigate the possibility to detect giant planets that are still embedded in young circumstellar disks. Based on models with different stellar, planetary, and disk masses, and different radial positions of the planet we analyze the resulting submillimeter appearance of these systems. We find that the influence of the planet on the spectral energy distribution could not be distinguished fro...

Herein is described a green and original alternative procedure for the extraction of oil from microalgae. Extractions were carried out using terpenes obtained from renewable feedstocks as alternative solvents instead of hazardous petroleum solvents such as n-hexane. The described method is achieved in two steps using Soxhlet extraction followed by the elimination of the solvent from the medium ...

as the stage next to that of corneal section and iridectomy in the extraction of a hard cataract; and I believe that this rule is invariably followed by the ophthalmic surgeons of the present day. The modification I propose, and have adopted in all my late cases, is to tear the capsule of the lens as the first preliminary step in the operation for extraction of cataract. The advantages accruing...
