The risk of hearing loss associated with occupational exposure to organic solvents mixture with and without concurrent noise exposure: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

This study is a meta-analysis of the previous epidemiological studies which investigated the quantitative estimates of the association between independent or combined exposure to noise and mixed organic solvents and hearing loss until October 2014. Overall, 15 studies with information on 7530 individuals (6% female) were included. Having assessed - by puretone audiometry - the adjusted odds rat...

Concurrent signature without random oracles

Concurrent signatures provide a way to exchange digital signature among parties in an efficient and fair manner. To the best of our knowledge, all the existing solutions can only be proven secure in the random oracle model. How to build an efficient concurrent signature scheme in the standard model has remained as an open problem since its introduction in 2004. In this paper we answer the probl...

Estimating Location without External Cues

The ability to determine one's location is fundamental to spatial navigation. Here, it is shown that localization is theoretically possible without the use of external cues, and without knowledge of initial position or orientation. With only error-prone self-motion estimates as input, a fully disoriented agent can, in principle, determine its location in familiar spaces with 1-fold rotational s...

Market Crashes without External Shocks

Market crash is usually considered an indication that the fundamentals of the economy have changed and recession is around the corner. This, however, need not be the case.
