This article summarizes what is known about leakages from existing studies and relates these results to detailed data on in 2013 provided by Vanguard’s How America Saves. It then uses two sets—the Survey of Consumer Finances the Income Program Participation—to estimate impact wealth at retirement. The Vanguard are a critical component because they provide comprehensive picture...

BACKGROUND Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has become a standard operation for malignant and benign periampullary diseases. Although the operative mortality of PD has decreased to less than 4% in hospitals with many cases of PD, the leakage of pancreaticointestinal anastomosis (PIA) still carries a substantial risk of lethal outcome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the local factors that aff...

Glitches represent a great danger for hardware implementations of cryptographic schemes. Their intrinsic random nature makes them difficult to tackle and their occurrence threatens side-channel protections. Although countermeasures aiming at structurally solving the problem already exist, they usually require some effort to be applied or introduce non-negligible overhead in the design. Our work...

Data sharing with multiple parties over a third-party distribution framework requires that both data integrity and confidentiality be assured. One of the most widely used data organization structures is the tree structure. When such structures encode sensitive information (such as in the XML documents), it is crucial that integrity and confidentiality be assured not only for the content, but al...

UPRIGHT Multi-Position MR scanning has uncovered a key set of new observations regarding Multiple Sclerosis (MS), which observations are likely to provide a new understanding of the origin of MS. The new findings may also lead to new forms of treatment for MS. The UPRIGHT MRI has demonstrated pronounced anatomic pathology of the cervical spine in five of the MS patients studied and definitive c...

The accuracy and the fast convergence of a leakage model are both essential components for the efficiency of side-channel analysis. Thus for efficient leakage estimation an evaluator is requested to pick a Probability Density Function (PDF) that constitutes the optimal tradeoff between both aspects. In the case of parametric estimation, Gaussian templates are a common choice due to their fast c...
