Carbon emissions: dry forests may be easier to manage

Breaking RSA May Be Easier Than Factoring

We provide evidence that breaking low-exponent rsa cannot be equivalent to factoring integers. We show that an algebraic reduction from factoring to breaking low-exponent rsa can be converted into an e cient factoring algorithm. Thus, in e ect an oracle for breaking rsa does not help in factoring integers. Our result suggests an explanation for the lack of progress in proving that breaking rsa ...

Evaluation May Be Easier than Generation

Kearns et al. [18] de ned two notions for learning a distribution D. The rst is with generator, where the learner presents a generator that outputs a distribution identical or close to D. The other is with an evaluator, where the learner presents a procedure that on input x evaluates correctly (or approximates) the probability that x is generated by D. They showed an example where e cient learn...

Carbon metabolism of Beauveria bassiana may be related to virulence against Plutella xylostella and Leptinotarsa decemlineata

Are Some RISC-Based Clusters Easier to Manage Than Others?

In February 2004, TechWise Research published a paper entitled: Total Cost of Ownership for Entry-Level and Mid-Range Clusters. That paper showed that HP OpenVMS/AlphaServer clusters cost, on average, $248,000 less to manage over a three-year timeframe than IBM AIX/pSeries clusters. TechWise Research decided to conduct a follow-up study to probe specifically into the area of cluster management ...

It may be easier to publish than correct or retract faulty biomedical literature

Getting from an experimental result to a published paper is an energyand time-consuming process that involves the concerted effort by authors, editors, and publishers. Generally, a published paper represents a positive and celebratory outcome. Correcting errors in the literature is generally considered to be a positive academic achievement. In contrast, retracting erroneous or fraudulent work i...
