Q. Majorana’s Experiments on Gravitational Absorption: Further Documents and Manuscripts

Our intention is to present Q. Majorana (1871–1957) further documents, experimental manuscripts and results on the hypothetical physical effect of gravitational absorption. Majorana carried out his experiments thanks to two main apparata, the first at the Polytechnic of Turin (1918-1919; 1919-1921), the second at the Institute of Physics of Bologna University (1922-1924). A comparison of the re...

Further Hidden Markov Model Cryptanalysis

We extend the model of Karlof and Wagner for modelling side channel attacks via Input Driven Hidden Markov Models (IDHMM) to the case where not every state corresponds to a single observable symbol. This allows us to examine algorithms where errors in measurements can occur between sub-operations, e.g. there may be an error probability of distinguishing an add (A) versus a double (D) for an ell...

Recognising handwritten Arabic manuscripts using a single hidden Markov model

This paper presents a new method on off-line recognition of handwritten Arabic script. The method does not require segmentation into characters, and is applied to cursive Arabic script, where ligatures, overlaps and style variation pose challenges to the recognition system. The method trains a single hidden Markov model (HMM) with the structural features extracted from the manuscript words. The...

Annotations as a Tool for Disclosing Hidden Relationships Between Illuminated Manuscripts

Image digital archives of illuminated manuscripts can become a useful tool for researchers in different disciplines. To this aim, it is proposed to provide them with tools for annotating images to disclose hidden relationships between illustrations belonging to different works. Relationships can be modeled as typed links, which induce an hypertext over the archive. In this paper we present a fo...
