Testing a sequence of pre-ordered hypotheses to decide which of these can be rejected or accepted while controlling the familywise error rate (FWER) is of importance in many scientific studies such as clinical trials. In this paper, we first introduce a generalized fixed sequence procedure whose critical values are defined by using a function of the numbers of rejections and acceptances, and wh...

–Mission-Critical networks show great potential in assisted living system, automotive networks, emergency rescue and disaster recovery system, military applications, critical infrastructure monitoring system. To build a secure communication system in that network, usually the first attempt is to employ cryptographic keys. Cryptographic key management is challenging due to the things like unreli...

We consider a clinical trial with a primary and a secondary endpoint where the secondary endpoint is tested only if the primary endpoint is significant. The trial uses a group sequential procedure with two stages. The familywise error rate (FWER) of falsely concluding significance on either endpoint is to be controlled at a nominal level α. The type I error rate for the primary endpoint is cont...

one of the most important sources of imamiyyah jurisprudence is the tradition in the form of reliable report. and a significant part of it, refers to external threads, but the renowned osuli's jurisprudents take the view that the scope of the reliable authority credit, is limited to injunctions and argue that account is a subject concerning with evidence chapter in which justice and witnes...

Abstract Passwordless authentication is a trending theme in cyber security, while biometrics gradually replace knowledge-based schemes. However, Personal Identification Numbers, passcodes, and graphical passwords are still considered as the primary means for authentication. Passwords must be memorable to usable; therefore, users tend choose easy guess secrets, compromising security. The Android...

recently, baghery et al. [1, 2] presented some attacks on two rfid protocols, namely yoon and jung et al. protocols, and proposed the improved version of them. however, in this note, we show that the improved version of the jung et al. protocol suffers from desynchronization attack and the improved version of the yoon's protocol suffers from secret disclosure attack. the success probabilit...
