LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Mediterranean diet? no, thanks: mediterranean lifestyle!

Dear readers, Starting in the 1980s, Ancel Keys and other nutritionists recognised how the Mediterranean diet was able to prevent the cardiovascular conditions, cancers and disorders that result from a diet lacking nutrients essential to health. The basis of such diet is not a geographic location, but the result of historic exchanges between various Countries in the Mediterranean basin, that we...

The demand for a healthy diet: estimating the almost ideal demand system with infrequency of purchase

A Bayesian method of estimating multivariate sample selection models is introduced and applied to the estimation of a demand system for food in the UK to account for censoring arising from infrequency of purchase. We show how it is possible to impose identifying restrictions on the sample selection equations and that, unlike a maximum likelihood framework, the imposition of adding up at both la...

Ideal Multilinear Maps based on Ideal Lattices

Cryptographic multilinear maps have many applications, such as multipartite key exchange and software obfuscation. However, the encodings of three current constructions are “noisy” and their multilinearity levels are fixed and bounded in advance. In this paper, we describe a candidate construction of ideal multilinear maps by using ideal lattices, which supports arbitrary multilinearity levels....
