Most work on requirements in the area of authentication protocols has concentrated on identifying requirements for the protocol without much consideration of context. Little work has concentrated on assumptions about the environment, for example, the applications that make use of authenticated keys. We will show in this paper how the interaction between a protocol and its environment can have a...

different approaches have been presented for estimating river environmental flow which hydrological approach has a lot addressed because of its need to access to limited data and moderately rapid assessment. this approach incorporates various methods therefore comparison between results of different methods is essential. the objective of this study is to investigate and compare the consequences...

We define an extensive-form analogue of iterated admissibility, called Prudent Rationalizability (PR). In each round of the procedure, for each information set of a player a surviving strategy of hers is required to be rational vis-a-vis a belief system with a full-support belief on the opponents’ previously surviving strategies that reach that information set. Somewhat surprisingly, prudent ra...

The ARIDFLO project takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the collection and analysis of data required to formulate appropriate environmental flow requirements for rivers in the Lake Eyre Basin. The key drivers of the ecological processes underpinning the health of these rivers are identified by modelling wholeof-ecosystem biological responses to hydrological events over a range of spatial and...

The treatment of economic and social issues in Software Engineering was pointed out as a challenge for the next years. Companies and organizations have directly (or not) opened up their software platforms and assets to others, including partners and third-party developers around the world, generating software ecosystems (SECOs). This changes the traditional software industry because it requires...

OBJECTIVE To record envelope following responses (EFRs) to monaural amplitude-modulated broadband noise carriers in which amplitude modulation (AM) depth was slowly changed over time and to compare these objective electrophysiological measures to subjective behavioral thresholds in young normal hearing and older subjects. DESIGN PARTICIPANTS three groups of subjects included a young normal...

Computational prediction of protein functional sites can be a critical first step for analysis of large or complex proteins. Contemporary methods often require several homologous sequences and/or a known protein structure, but these resources are not available for many proteins. Leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) are ligand interaction domains found in numerous proteins across all taxonomic kingdoms, ...

Estuaries host unique biodiversity and deliver a range of ecosystem services at the interface between catchment ocean. They are also among most degraded ecosystems on Earth. Freshwater flow regimes drive ecological processes contributing to their economic value, but have been modified extensively in many systems by upstream water use. Knowledge freshwater requirements for estuaries (environment...
