Abstract In 1989, den Boer presented the first card-based protocol, called “five-card trick,” that securely computes AND function using a deck of physical cards via series actions such as shuffling and turning over cards. This protocol enables couple to confirm their mutual love without revealing individual feelings. During secure computation it is important keep any information about inputs se...

it is crucial to monitor the growth and development of a child in early stage of life to take early corrective action in time to ensure normal growth. child health card (chc) is a tool used to maintain records and monitor the under five children. the objective of this study was to find out the maternal awareness on chc and factor associated with its retention. this was a cross sectional analyti...

In this report we discuss the design of cross-directional controllers which are guaranteed to be robustly stabilizing while incorporating a quadratic programme for steady state performance. The report is loosely based on the technical report of Akkermans (2003) who proposes using the multivariable circle criterion to guarantee closed-loop stability of cross-directional controllers in the presen...

Introduction: The demand for organ donation has increased in most countries of the world, while the number of donors remains relatively stable. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the attitude and performance of physicians and nurses in Rasht city. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive analytical study was conducted to investigate the attitude and performance...

Critics of mass culture often identify 1950s-style status competition as one of the central forces driving consumerism. Thomas Frank has challenged this view, arguing that countercultural rebellion now provides the primary source of consumerism in our society, and that ‘cool’ has become its central ideological expression. This paper provides a rearticulation and defense of Frank’s thesis, first...

f(xj) = p(xj), j = 1, . . . , n. This is sometimes called Lagrange interpolation to distinguish it from Hermite interpolation, see below. For the basics, see Chapter 7 in Heath. As in Heath, we let Pn be the (function) space of polynomials of degree at most n. We let C([a, b]) denote the set of continuous functions on the interval [a, b]. Similarly, we let C([a, b]) be the n times continuously ...
