Communication Complexity and Secure Function Evaluation

We suggest two new methodologies for the design of efficient secure protocols, that differ with respect to their underlying computational models. In one methodology we utilize the communication complexity tree (or branching for f and transform it into a secure protocol. In other words, "any function f that can be computed using communication complexity c can be can be computed securely using communication complexity that is polynomial in c and a security parameter". The second methodology uses the circuit computing f, enhanced with look-up tables as its underlying computational model. It is possible to simulate any RAM machine in this model with polylogarithmic blowup. Hence it is possible to start with a computation of f on a RAM machine and transform it into a secure protocol. 
We show many applications of these new methodologies resulting in protocols efficient either in communication or in computation. In particular, we exemplify a protocol for the "millionaires problem", where two participants want to compare their values but reveal no other information. Our protocol is more efficient than previously known ones in either communication or computation.

Secured Wireless Communication using Fuzzy Logic based High Speed Public-Key Cryptography (FLHSPKC)

In this paper secured wireless communication using fuzzy logic based high speed public-key cryptography (FLHSPKC) has been proposed by satisfying the major issues likes computational safety, power management and restricted usage of memory in wireless communication. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has several major constraints likes' inadequate source of energy, restricted computational potentiality and limited memory. Though conventional Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) which is a sort of public-key cryptography used in wireless communication provides equivalent level of security like other existing public-key algorithm using smaller parameters than other but this traditional ECC does not take care of all these major limitations in WSN. In conventional ECC consider Elliptic curve point p, an arbitrary integer k and modulus m, ECC carry out scalar multiplication kP mod m, which takes about 80% of key computation time on WSN. In this paper proposed FLHSPKC scheme provides some novel strategy including novel soft computing based strategy to speed up scalar multiplication in conventional ECC and which in turn takes shorter computational time and also satisfies power consumption restraint, limited usage of memory without hampering the security level. Performance analysis of the different strategies under FLHSPKC scheme and comparison study with existing conventional ECC methods has been done.
An uncertain trumpet: reason, anarchy and Cold War diplomacy in the thought of Raymond Aron

Near the end of his career, Raymond Aron explained that he had never ceased to ‘think or dream or hope – in the light of the idea of Reason – for a humanized society’, a hope that extended to the conduct of international affairs as well. The purpose of this essay is to examine how Aron’s liberalism manifested itself in his theorising about international relations and in some of his less abstract diplomatic recommendations. In tracing the effects of Aron’s fundamental theoretical commitments on his more concrete policy analyses, we examine how Aron’s liberalism affected his approach to two of the most contentious issues in French foreign policy, namely, the decolonisation of Algeria and the creation of the force de frappe , France’s nuclear weapons programme. We argue that the tensions and contradictions in Aron’s foreign policy prescriptions have their origins in his ambivalence over the source and character of human reason.
Application of saturation transfer double difference NMR to elucidate the mechanistic interactions of pesticides with humic acid.

Elucidation of mechanistic interactions of anthropogenic chemicals is critical to understanding and eventually predicting their behavior in the environment Here, a recently developed technique, saturation transfer double difference (STDD) NMR spectroscopy is employed to determine the interactions of pesticides with humic acid (HA) at the molecular level. The degree of interaction at each NMR observable nucleus in the pesticide can be quantified in the form of an epitope map, which depicts the mechanism of the pesticide-HA interaction. Our results indicate that, at pH 7, halogen atoms (F and Cl) in water-soluble pesticides (diflufenzopyr, acifluorfen, and chlorsulfuron) play a dominant role in influencing binding to HA, whereas carboxyl groups likely play a secondary role when halogen atoms are also present in the molecule, as observed with diflufenzopyr and acifluorfen. However, when present on its own, the carboxyl group dominates in binding affinityto HA (e.g., imazapyr). Electronegativity and electron density appear to play a key role in the mechanism of binding and results suggest that polar bonds are the primary points of HA contact in the water soluble pesticides investigated. Likely interactions may include hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions.
PROPRIETE, DECISION ET STRATEGIE DE L'ENTREPRISE FAMILIALE : UNE ANALYSE

This theoretical paper aims at analyzing the family firm from the organizational and strategicpoints of view. First, it attempts to describe the idiosyncrasy of this organization through thedimensions of ownership and control patterns. The final intention is to determine what makesspecific the family firm and its strategy. Indeed, this entity would have a specific behaviorbecause the family component prevails and should influence strongly the management andgovernance of the firm. Thus, the process of decision-making on the one hand and the process ofstrategy implementation on the other hand would be certainly influenced by family issues. Twotheoretical perspectives are used to characterize this entity from an organizational point of view:Agency theory and stewardship theory. In a second step, the paper analyses the consequences offamily firm peculiarity on decision-making and strategy. First, we try to see whether thespecificity of ownership has an influence on strategic decision-making. Then, a second questionwill be addressed : would the pattern and content of family firm strategy be different from otherownership configurations?
Observation of inclusive D*(+/-) production in the decay of Y(1S) RID C-5223-2009

We present a study of the inclusive D*(+/-) production in the decay of Y(1S) using (98.6 +/- 0.9) X 10(6) Y(2S) mesons collected with the BABAR detector at the Y(2S) resonance. Using the decay chain Y(2S) -> pi(+)pi Y-(1S), Y(1S) -> D*X-+/-, where X is unobserved, we measure the branching fraction B[Y(1S) -> D*X-+/-] = (2.52 +/- 0.13(stat) +/- 0.15(syst)% and the D*(+/-) momentum distribution in the rest frame of the Y(1S). We find evidence for an excess of D*+/- production over the expected rate from the virtual photon annihilation process Y(1S) -> gamma* -> c (c) over bar -> D*X-+/-.
Research on Customer Relationship Management System for Logistics Company Based on Supply Chain

Logistics companies are typical enterprises depending on the maintenance of customer relationships, in which the customers are important resources. The establishment of a supply chain management concept and the implementation of customer relationship management are propitious to improve the competitiveness of logistics enterprises. In this paper, the necessity of the implementation of customer relationship management is analyzed from the viewpoint of the characteristics of logistics companies, and the approaches for logistics enterprises to effectively implement the customer relationship management are explored at the same time. The research can provide a theoretical support for logistics enterprises to implement customer relationship management. Experience has shown that establishing a customer-requirement-centric customer relationship management orienting supply chain is the source of competitive advantage in logistics companies. It also can become non-imitated barriers in the competition among logistics companies.
An Adaptive Programming Model for Environmental Sensor Networks Using Fuzzy Logic

In this paper, we present a sensor network programming model using fuzzy logic. A fuzzy controller model is used to dynamically control the rate of observation of environmental variables. Differing rates arise from changing environmental conditions. Inferencing using linguistic rules provides a compact, human friendly way to represent the knowledge base for controlling environmental sensor networks. Our programming model is illustrated with a simulation having two rules and three environmental variables.
A Comparative Study on Replica Placement Algorithms for Content Delivery Networks

In today’s web based IT environment response time and availability are of major concerns, a few seconds delay in response time or non-availability of a resource can significantly impact customer satisfaction. Replication provides better performance and higher availability by maintaining multiple copies of data called replicas at various strategic locations. An important issue that must be addressed before replication is performed is where to place replicas. Several replica placement algorithms have been proposed and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. In this paper we study the various replica placement algorithms with respect to content delivery networks. Our main contribution in this paper is to compare popular replica placement algorithms and provide general scenarios for content delivery networks with proposed suitable algorithm for each of the scenarios. The scenarios can be a reference point for system designer for choosing a right replica placement algorithm for content delivery networks.
The Globalization of Higher Education: Some Observations Regarding the Free Market and the National Interest

The globalization of higher education, which is as much an affair of electronic delivery as of franchising and of validation of university awards, has given rise to various concerns. The most well known of these has been the question of quality; however, there are also cultural, economic, and political factors, examples of all of these being given. Some countries, indeed, have made such efforts to regulate transnational higher education offerings on their national territories that they have created less than legitimate barriers to such programmes. The higher education community should respond forcefully to these barriers.
The Museum in Hiding: Framing Conflict

Taking the work of Lyndell Brown and Charles Green as a case study, and specifically their commissioned work for the Australian War Memorial in 2007, this chapter locates and accounts for the artists’ critical engagement with museological tropes of preservation, taxonomy, memorialization, and archival display. For over two decades, Brown and Green's paintings, installations, and photographs have been carefully interrupting and diverting flows between events, images, memories, and histories. Their works ask how the past figures in the present, and how it might be accessed and remembered. They are about the realization and reconstitution of events. As such, they constitute a deeply political project, and one with direct relevance to museum theory. The chapter consists of two sections in dialogue with each other. The first section, by Lyndell Brown and Charles Green, is written from the artists’ first-hand point of view. It addresses their experience of participating in the Australian War Artist scheme, and situates their works in relation to ideas of the “memory effect” and the “museum in hiding.” The second section, by Amelia Barikin, contextualizes this material by focusing on how contemporary artists working within museums have interrogated and theorized museum practices. Both sections engage with a recent art historical understanding that visual history – a history based on the particularity and contingency of images rather than stories – has altered the shape of narrative in contemporary communication networks (including those of museums). In exploiting this shift, Brown and Green's works forge an interzone in which the form of the atlas emerges as a catalyst for the production and consumption of situated visual knowledge. The term “atlas” implies a system of classifications within which the knowledge contained in an archive is presented. An atlas is both an album and an instructional aid. In layering these ideas onto the form of the museum, this chapter begins to theorize museum practice from the inside out – by positioning works of art as potential models for, rather than symptoms of, museological governance and display.
Phenomenon behind why the high school graduates blindly choose a major: a qualitative research based on the 132 recollections of prose in choosing a major

Choosing major results from College Entrance Examination is vital for high school graduates. It may not only affect the learning direction in subsequent four years but also affects their future career choices. But we found that students and parents are always perplexed, blind, or even follow the trend of conformity when choosing a major. Students do not know what kind of major is suitable for his or her aspirations. And parents blindly asked their children to follow the popular trend. These kinds of behaviors seriously affect children learning and future career. Study of existing choice of major for high school graduates even stays in the level of choosing major. Until now, there is no scholar digs the detailed reasons behind these varied phenomena resulting from choosing a major. A recallable essay by 132 College freshmen from the college of business in selecting a major with qualitative research methods to explore the cognitive problems for high school graduates. Eventually we found the following results: (1) The wrong direction and motive deviation appear when high school students choose their major (2) A serious shortage of self-awareness for high school students; (3) the presence of social culture when choose a major
Attunement in the Modern Age

This contribution starts from Max Scheler’s claim that modern philosophy holds two differing views on feelings. The first view, which Scheler attributes to René Descartes, presents them in their intentional role but rejects their independence; the other view, which Scheler attributes to Immanuel Kant, holds that they cannot be reduced to the rational part of the soul and thus affirms their independence, but deprives them of all cognitive powers. After considering both views, I discuss the views of Franz Brentano and Edmund Husserl. Husserl takes an ambivalent approach to attunement, which opens the possibility of understanding Martin Heidegger’s thought of fundamental attunement.
Improved hypertension management and control: results from the health survey for England 1998.

A survey in 1994 showed that among the 20% of the adult English population who were identified as hypertensive, approximately 30% had their blood pressures controlled to <160 mm Hg systolic and <95 mm Hg diastolic. The 1998 Health Survey for England data update the 1994 findings in light of new thresholds and targets for treatment outlined in recent national and international guidelines. This cross-sectional survey is analyzed to describe the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension in a random, nationally representative sample of 11 529 English adults (>/=16 years) living in noninstitutional households in 1998 and to compare these rates with those from 1994. In 1998, 20% and 37% of adults were hypertensive according to the old (systolic >/=160 mm Hg or diastolic >/=95 mm Hg) and new (systolic >/=140 mm Hg or diastolic >/=90 mm Hg) definitions, respectively. Corresponding values in 1994 were 20% and 38%. Treatment and control rates among hypertensive adults (new definition) improved from 26% to 32% and from 6% to 9%, respectively, although 60% of those on treatment received only 1 antihypertensive drug in both years. Among persons with controlled hypertension, 59% reported having received nonpharmacological advice from their physicians in 1998 compared with 30% in 1994. Rates of hypertension treatment and control have increased significantly (P=0.05 and P<0.01, respectively) since 1994 but remain low by international standards. The 1998 data suggest that improved detection, greater use of nonpharmacological measures, and increased use of >1 antihypertensive agent per patient would produce greater success in achieving target levels. This could lead to major reductions in fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events.
Financial Integration and Common Payment Systems

Fragmented payment systems are a major obstacle to financial integration at the regional and international levels. The European Union has launched ambitious policies for the ceation of common payment systems among its country members. Significant results have been achieved in some aspects, but one can say that the European Union is still largely caracterised by fragmented payment systems. This means that one of the basic conditions for financial integration is not fullfilled in the European Union. The purpose of this paper is, in the first place, to present the situation of the different payment systems in the European Union (I), and then, to draw lessons from the European experience for financial integration and payment systems in Asia (II).
Intangible assets and social, intellectual and cultural capital: origins, functions and value

Intangible assets form part of the true value of organisations. These assets are produced from various forms of capital other than financial capital, which are located in the intellectual, structural and customer domains of organisations. This paper reports the findings from 15 cases from an empirical study of large UK service organisations to which we applied the concepts of social, intellectual and cultural capital as analytical tools to interpret the data concerned with intangible assets. We explore these forms of capital through identifying their origins and their functions. The paper identifies links between the value of these forms of capital and reports on how this value may be measured with pragmatic measures. The paper also considers the feasibility of aggregating the full value of organisations into their individual national economies. The research has produced two paradoxes relating to the development of intangible assets to test in future research.
Formation of cosmological mass condensation within a FRW universe: Exact general relativistic solutions

Within the framework of an exact general relativistic formulation of gluing manifolds, we consider the problem of matching an inhomogeneous overdense region to a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker background universe in the general spherical symmetric case of pressure-free models. It is shown that, in general, the matching is only possible through a thin shell, a fact ignored in the literature. In addition to this, in subhorizon cases where the matching is possible, an intermediate underdense region will necessarily arise.
Communication of social support in computer-mediated groups for people with disabilities.

This study documented the types and extent of social support messages exchanged by persons with disabilities who participated in a computer-based support group.  The largest percentage of these messages offered emotional and informational support, whereas network support and tangible assistance were least frequently offered. It appeared that many of the support messages directly redressed limitations and challenges associated with disability-related mobility, socialization, and self-care. Results are discussed in terms of the generalizability of existing category systems for coding support to this mediated context, the relative importance of different types of support in the communication of support group members, and the unique features of social support in mediated environments. The implications of this study for social support researchers, persons with disabilities, and human services professionals are also discussed.
