Reverse Engineering is the traditional bread-and-butter of digital forensics research. Companies like Microsoft and Apple deliver computational artifacts (operating systems, applications and phones) to the commercial market. These artifacts are bought and used by billions. Some have evil intent, and (if society is lucky), the computers end up in the hands of law enforcement. Unfortunately the o...

Medicine selection and storage was examined in 130 families. Over 50 per cent were found to be less than adequate. Health education advice helped half the inadequate group to change to adequate. Age and social class were not related to hoarding of prescribed drugs, to initial standards of storage or selection, nor to the likelihood of a response to advice.

This study was designed to measure the sound output of four commonly used brands of forced-air dryers used by dog groomers in the United States. Many dog groomers have questions about the effect of this exposure on their hearing, as well as on the hearing of the dogs that are being groomed. Readings taken from each dryer at 1 meter (the likely distance of the dryer from the groomer and the dog)...

We model policy implementation in a parliamentary democracy as a game of delegation between the prime minister and his cabinet ministers. We show that cabinet reshuffles can be a pursued as a strategy to reduce the agency-loss which occurs due to the different preferences of the actors. Furthermore, when certain conditions are meet cabinet reshuffles have a dual effect; they reduce agency-loss ...

The theoretical literature on common pool problems in fiscal policy suggests that government fragmentation increases public expenditures. In parliamentary regimes, the fragmentation hypothesis refers to (i) coalition governments and (ii) cabinet size. This paper explores the effect of coalition governments and cabinet size on public expenditures with panel data covering all 16 German States ove...

Three children were injured by putting their arms into spin dryers. In each case the injuries were severe. Though not common, these accidents should be preventable. Warning notices are useless for toddlers, and a built-in safety mechanism seems the only certain means of stopping such accidents.
