Template Attack is widely accepted to be one of the most powerful side-channel attacks, because it is assumed that one has full knowledge of targeted crypto devices and thus be well capable of characterizing the side-channel leakages. However, whether or not Template Attack exploits side-channel leakages to the fullest is still not clear. In this paper, we present a negative answer to this cent...

This paper develops a simple but general methodology to estimate the expected intertemporal marginal rate of substitution or “EMRS”, using only data on asset prices and returns. Our empirical strategy is general, and allows the EMRS to vary arbitrarily over time. A novel feature of our technique is that it relies upon exploiting idiosyncratic risk, since theory dictates that idiosyncratic shock...

water is an important element and plays a vital role in the formation and survival of natural, economical and social systems in dry climates. thus, there is a significant necessity to present an optimal method for utilization of water resources in these regions. constructing dams has been a prevalent method for exploitation of water shed resources for a long time which has positive and negative...
