CDs Have Fingerprints Too
We introduce a new technique for extracting unique fingerprints from identical CDs. The proposed technique takes advantage of manufacturing variability found in the length of the CD lands and pits. Although the variability measured is on the order of 20 nm the technique does not require the use of microscopes or any advanced equipment. Instead, the electrical signal produced by the photodetecto...
متن کاملAre Fractions Natural Numbers, Too?
This study presents evidence in favor of a cognitive primitives hypothesis for processing fraction magnitudes. This account holds that humans have perceptual access to fractional magnitudes and that this may be used to support symbolic fraction knowledge. In speeded cross-format comparisons, participants picked the larger of two stimuli, which were either symbolic fractions or nonsymbolic ratio...
متن کاملCorrelations have fat tails, too
The investment community is, by now, familiar with the idea of fat tails. The concept moved beyond the domain of actuaries and quant geeks with Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s book The Black Swan (2007). Taleb drove home the point that volatility does not tell the whole story of the uncertainty associated with asset returns. In particular, extreme outcomes occur more frequently (i.e., tails are fatter)...
متن کاملEndotoxin - tolerant Mice Have Mutations in Toll - like Receptor 4 ( Tlr 4 ) By Salman
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) provokes a vigorous, generalized proinflammatory state in the infected host. Genetic regulation of this response has been localized to the Lps locus on mouse chromosome 4, through study of the C3H/HeJ and C57BL/10ScCr inbred strains. Both C3H/HeJ and C57BL/10ScCr mice are homozygous for a mutant Lps allele ( Lps d/d ) that confers hyporesponsiveness to LPS cha...
متن کاملRelative Significance is Insufficient: Baselines Matter Too
We have tabulated retrieval effectiveness claims from a large number of information retrieval research papers from 1998–2008, a period that has seen many innovations. The results of our analysis are not encouraging. Over this period, although a great many papers claimed significant effectiveness improvements, there has been no overall gain in absolute retrieval effectiveness on TREC ad hoc coll...
