Some Details of Nonlinear Estimation

The traditional view adopted by statistics and econometrics texts is that, in order to solve a nonlinear least squares (NLS) or nonlinear maximum likelihood (NML) problem, a researcher need only use a computer program. This point of view maintains two implicit assumptions: (1) one program is as good as another; and (2) the output from a computer is reliable. Both of these maintained assumptions...

Some anatomical details of the knee joint.

In order to appreciate the arrangement of the capsule and ligaments of the knee joint it is advisable to consider the joint in the foetus, and trace the changes which occur (luring development of the adult structure. In the foetus the joint is a simple diarthrodial structure, the capsule being attached around the articular surfaces including that of the patella. The UP1)C end of the fibula arti...

Hepcidin assays: ironing out some details.

I ron is the fourth most common element in the earth’s crust and the most abundant transition metal in the human body. It is an essential element required for growth and survival. Maintaining the correct iron balance is crucial for health. All living organisms evolved sophisticated mechanisms to maintain appropriate iron levels in their cells and within their body. It was shown recently that th...

Attacks on cMix - Some Small Overlooked Details

Chaum et al. have very recently introduced cMix as the first practical system that offers senders-receivers unlinkability at scale. cMix is claimed by its authors to be secure unless all nodes collude (or less than two senders are honest). We argue their assertion does not hold and sustain our statement by three different types of attacks: tagging attack, insider attack and passive attack. For ...
