Quantum communications concern the study of quantum channels that also use continuous alphabets [1]. These can be modeled by bosonic field modes whose phase space quadratures enable for continuous variable encoding/decoding. Lossy bosonic channel, which consists of a collection of bosonic modes that lose energy en route from the transmitter to the receiver, belongs to the class of Gaussian chan...

The first part of the paper discusses nuclear properties relevant to predict compound reactions. The second part addresses direct reactions with special emphasis on direct neutron capture.

Our concern is with the determination of the firing level of the antecedent fuzzy set in a fuzzy systems model rule base. We first consider the case where the input information is also expressed in terms of a normal fuzzy set. We provide the requirements needed by any formulation of this operation. We next consider the case when the input information is expressed using a measure. Here we also p...

This paper introduces X-Force, a novel binary analysis engine. Given a potentially malicious binary executable, X-Force can force the binary to execute requiring no inputs or proper environment. It also explores different execution paths inside the binary by systematically forcing the branch outcomes of a very small set of conditional control transfer instructions. X-Force features a crash-free...
