This thesis analyzes the access control architectures of three middleware technologies: Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), Enterprise Java Beans (EJB), and Component Object Model (COM+). For all technologies under study, we formalize the protection state of their corresponding authorization architectures in a more precise and less ambiguous language than their respective specifi...

Prispevek se prvenstveno posveča Nietzschejevi obravnavi okrutnosti, ki v številnih bistvenih pogledih predstavlja nenadomestljiv ključ za razumevanje Nietzschejevega genealoškega projekta. Ta študija je dopolnjena z vzporednicami s še dvema izstopajočima intelektualnima figurama poznega devetnajstega stoletja: Fjodorjem Mihajlovičem Dostojevskim in Leopoldom von Sacher-Masochom. Dostojevski za...

BACKGROUND Allowing patients to measure their blood pressure (BP) at home will be the standard for evaluating the disease state as the process of clinical diagnosis, and it is recognized as having great clinical utility. To measure BP as accurately as possible, innovative techniques have been incorporated into home BP measurement devices. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to evaluate the perf...

The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is the elliptic curve analogue of the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA), and is under consideration for standardization by the ANSI X9 committee. Unlike the normal discrete logarithm problem and the integer factorization problem, the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem has no subexponentialtime algorithm. For this reason, the strength...

This study validated the RisingSun RS-651 blood pressure (BP) monitor based on auscultation in adults according to the American National Standards Institute/Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation/International Organization for Standardization (ANSI/AAMI/ISO) 81060-2:2013 standard. The RS-651 device was evaluated in a study of 97 participants. The same arm simultaneous method...

This paper describes the OpenURL Framework, both the original ‘de facto’ standard version 0.1, and the NISO standard Z39.88-2004, ‘The OpenURL Framework for Context-Sensitive Services’. The explanation is illustrated by examples from Zetoc, a journal article and conference paper current awareness service available in the UK. Various emerging novel uses of the OpenURL Framework are described. Ev...

The breakdown of cellular components via autophagy is crucial for cellular homeostasis.In this issue of The EMBO Journal,Niso-Santano et al (2015) report the important observation that feeding cells with saturated or unsaturated fatty acids triggers mechanistically distinct autophagic responses. Feeding cells saturated fatty acid induced the canonical, BECN1/PI3K dependent autophagy pathway. Co...
