In this paper, we consider a scenario where a source node wishes to broadcast two confidential messages to two receivers, while a wire-tapper also receives the transmitted signal. This model is motivated by wireless communications, where individual secure messages are broadcast over open media and can be received by any illegitimate receiver. The secrecy level is measured by the equivocation ra...

We present two novel bounds for the classification error that, at the same time, can be used as practical training criteria. Unlike the bounds reported in the literature so far, these novel bounds are based on a strict distinction between the true but unknown distribution and the model distribution, which is used in the decision rule. The two bounds we derive are the squared distance and the Ku...

This article is about a transdisciplinary project between the social, human and life sciences, and the felt experiences of the researchers involved. 'Transdisciplinary' and 'interdisciplinary' research-modes have been the subject of much attention lately--especially as they cross boundaries between the social/humanistic and natural sciences. However, there has been less attention, from within s...

In this article, I examine the conceptual and methodological points of convergence divergence two intellectual currents frequently referred to as decolonial ontological turns in social anthropological theory. Salient considered are ways both theoretical projects unsettle modernity’s dominant epistemological foundations by seriously engaging potential thinking with alterity (ethical dimension) f...

The primary goal of diagnostic nuclear medicine is to provide complete and accurate reports without equivocation or disclaimers. If specific clinical questions cannot be answered because radiopharmaceutical extravasation, the imaging study may have repeated. decision reimage based on several factors including quality images, additional patient radiation dose, burden, administrative constraints....
