LVII. On a practical thermometric standard

Will thermometric tomography become practical for hyperthermia treatment monitoring?

Thermal tomography refers to the acquisition of detailed thermal information throughout a slice of the subject. Experimental temperature information of this nature to be obtained experimentally using some form of scanning mechanism is usually implied by the term, noninvasive thermometry. Desirable specifications for such a system are presented, and the degree to which the proposed methods are l...

Thermometric diagnosis of peripheral nerve injuries. Assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of a new practical technique.

The diagnosis of nerve injury using thermotropic liquid crystal temperature strips was compared blindly and prospectively against operative findings in 36 patients requiring surgical exploration for unilateral upper limb lacerations with suspected nerve injury. Thermotropic liquid crystal strips were applied to affected and non-affected segments in both hands in all subjects. A pilot study show...

Practical Signatures from Standard Assumptions

We put forward new techniques for designing signature schemes. As a result, we present practical signature schemes based on the CDH, the RSA, and the SIS assumptions. Our schemes compare favorably with existing schemes based on these assumptions. Our core idea is the use of tag-based signatures. Concretely, each signatures contains a tag which is uniformly chosen from a suitable tag set. Intuit...
