The initial San Francisco Mint coin, the 1909-S VDB, remains a sought-after rari...

Recently, Brenner et al. proposed a symmetric somewhat homomorphic encryption scheme and applied it to solve some practical problems, such as the Millionaires’ problem, which only need to evaluate circuits of limited depth. It is claimed that the security of their scheme is built on the hardness of integer factorization. In this paper, we use the Euclidean Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) algorith...

In 1907 Brenner (1) described a new type of ovarian tumor which he designated oophoroma folliculare. He believed that this type was the most mature form of the folliculoid granulosa-cell tumor. R. Meyer (2) reinvestigated the available material and showed that the Brenner tumor is macroscopically, as well as microscopically, a well defined tumor of the ovary, and has no relation to the granulos...
