Qing-yu Cai Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, The Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, 430071, People’s Republic of China Bostr .. om and Felbinger [1] have presented a ping-pong communication protocol which allows the information transferred in a deterministic secure manner. The security of this ping-pong protocol is based on an entangled pair of qubits. And the proof of the case of e...

We propose a protocol to transfer a one-time-pad (in a probabilistic manner) from Alice to Bob, over a public channel. The proposed protocol is unique because Bob merely acts as the receiver of the pad (secret key), i.e. Bob does not need to send any message back to Alice unless he detects eavesdropping. Such a secure transfer of one-time-pad, over public channel, is not possible in classical c...

110 Journal of Plant Registrations, Vol 2, No. 2, May 2008 ‘Alice’ (Reg. No. CV-1023, PI 644223) hard white winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed by the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station and coreleased by the South Dakota and Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Stations in August 2006. In addition to researchers at South Dakota State University, researchers at the University...

The physics programme of the ALICE experiment at CERN-LHC comprises besides studies of high-energy heavy-ion collisions measurements of proton-proton interactions at unprecedented energies, too. This paper focuses on the global event characterisation in terms of the multiplicity distribution of charged hadrons and mean transverse momentum. These bulk observables become accessible because the de...

The strong suppression of high-pT hadrons observed in heavy ion collisions at RHIC indicates the interaction of high energy partons with a dense colored medium prior to hadronization. We review the main results from the high-pT hadron analysis at RHIC and what they tell us about the medium. We then concentrate on the new possibilities that the wider kinematic range at the LHC will offer and how...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize the literature on Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS), a disorder characterized by distortions of visual perception, the body schema, and the experience of time. RECENT FINDINGS On the basis of 169 published case descriptions, the etiology of AIWS is divided into 8 main groups, with neurologic disorders affecting mostly adults and elderly patients and encephalit...
