Let N = pq be the product of two large primes. Consider CRT-RSA with the public encryption exponent e and private decryption exponents dp, dq. It is well known that given any one of dp or dq (or both) one can factorize N in probabilistic poly(logN) time with success probability almost equal to 1. Though this serves all the practical purposes, from theoretical point of view, this is not a determ...

Data Quality (DQ) has been an acknowledged issue for a long time, however research efforts in data quality has recently gained impetus. Several researches have indicated that maintaining the quality of data is often acknowledged as problematic, but is also seen as critical to effective decision-making in engineering asset management (AM). This paper aims to identify the need for developing an A...

The aim of this proceeding is to give a basic introduction to Deformation Quantization (DQ) to physicists. We compare DQ to canonical quantization and path integral methods. It is described how certain issues such as the roles of associativity, covariance, dynamics, and operator orderings are understood in the context of DQ. Convergence issues in DQ are mentioned. Additionally, we formulate the...

Effects of DQ-2511, a new peripherally acting anti-ulcer agent, on vagally induced gastric acid output and mucosal blood flow (MBF) were investigated in urethane-anesthetized rats with gastric fistula. Intravenous infusion of DQ-2511 (2 or 20 mg/kg/hr, for 30 min) reduced the vagally induced gastric acid output and MBF, and these inhibitory effects were abolished by pretreatment with phentolami...

Let Uq(sl2) be the quantized enveloping algebra associated to the simple Lie algebra sl2. In this paper, we study the quantum double Dq of the Borel subalgebra Uq((sl2) ) of Uq(sl2). We construct an analogue of Kostant–Lusztig Z[v, v]-form for Dq and show that it is a Hopf subalgebra. We prove that, over an algebraically closed field, every simple Dq-module is the pullback of a simple Uq(sl2)-m...

Nowadays, organizations may have Web portals tailoring several websites where a wide variety of information is integrated. These portals are typically composed of a set of Web applications and services that interchange data among them. In this setting, there is no way to find out how the quality of the interchanged data is going to evolve successively. A framework is proposed for establishing t...

OBJECTIVES We examine the following: (1) the appropriateness of using a data quality (DQ) framework developed for relational databases as a data-cleaning tool for a data set extracted from two EPIC databases, and (2) the differences in statistical parameter estimates on a data set cleaned with the DQ framework and data set not cleaned with the DQ framework. BACKGROUND The use of data containe...

NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) plays a dominant role in the reduction of the quinone compound 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (duroquinone, DQ) to durohydroquinone (DQH2) on passage through the rat lung. Exposure of adult rats to 85% O2 for > or =7 days stimulates adaptation to the otherwise lethal effects of >95% O2. The objective of this study was to examine whether exposure of ...
