A recipe for randomness

A recipe for randomness.

Despite many diverse theories that address closely related themes-e. g., probability theory, algorithmic complexity, cryptoanalysis, and pseudorandom number generation-a near-void remains in constructive methods certified to yield the desired "random" output. Herein, we provide explicit techniques to produce broad sets of both highly irregular finite and normal infinite sequences, based on cons...

A Randomness Test for Stable Data

In this paper, we propose a new method for checking randomness of non-Gaussian stable data based on a characterization result. This method is more sensitive with respect to non-random data compared to the well-known non-parametric randomness tests.

Orange and Sunlight: A Recipe for Blisters

A recipe for transplantation.

I am greatly honoured to be invited to give the Scott-Heron Lecture for 1983 but feel very inadequate to follow the distinguished doctors who have preceded me. The interest in the kidney was first aroused by a young woman with bilateral staghorn calculi, while working as a house surgeon with the late Mr. Cecil Woodside. Mr. Woodside was a general surgeon who had a special interest in the kidney...

A recipe for making

A recipe is given for making materials with negative refraction in acoustics, i.e., materials in which the group velocity is directed opposite to the phase velocity. The recipe consists of injecting many small particles into a bounded domain, filled with a material whose refraction coefficient is known. The number of small particles to be injected per unit volume around any point x is calculate...
