The effect of the rotational speed and axial torque on the diagnostics of tapered rolling element bearing defects was investigated. The accelerometer was mounted on the bearing housing and connected to Sound and Vibration Analyzer (SVAN 958) and was used to measure the accelerations from the bearing housing. The data obtained from the bearing was processed to detect damage of the bearing using ...

Individuals attribute more psychological (e.g., forget) than biological (e.g., eat) or physical (e.g., be touched) properties to supernatural beings (Shtulman, 2008). It is unclear how those domains each contribute to an overall conception of a supernatural being (e.g., God). Undergraduate students (N = 341) responded to nine questions representing the three domains or factors (psychological, b...

Anonymity services in the EU may be forced by the new EU data retention directive to collect connection data and deanonymise some of their users in case of serious crimes. For this purpose, we propose a new privacy-friendly solution for incorporating revocation in an anonymous communication system. In contrast to other known methods, our scheme does not reveal the identity of a user to any othe...

In this paper, we introduce a new functionality for proxy re-encryption (PRE) that we call re-encryption verifiability. In a PRE scheme with re-encryption verifiability (which we simply call verifiable PRE, or VPRE), a receiver of a re-encrypted ciphertext can verify whether the received ciphertext is correctly transformed from an original ciphertext by a proxy, and thus can detect illegal acti...

The theory of imprecise probability (IP) has been slow to catch on in philosophy, although there are signs that this is beginning to change. Gert de Cooman’s link between IP and logic, presented in a terrific talk at progic 2007, is sure to draw interest from philosophical logicians; a general result in de Cooman and Miranda (2007) showing how Finetti’s exchangeability theorem drops out as a sp...

At COLING80, we reported on an Interactive Translation System called ITS. We will discuss t h r ee p rob lems in the design of the first version of ITS: (1) human f ac to r s , (2) the "all or noth ing" syndrome, and (3) traditional centralized processing. We will also discuss a new vers ion of ITS, which is now being programmed. This new vers ion will hopeful ly o v e r c o m e these p rob lem...

A mobile learning system, called MobiQiyas, for preparing Saudi Arabian students for one of the standardized tests, given by the National Center for Assessment in Higher Education (NCAHE), has been developed, using ready-made commercial products and tools. The learning material of MobiQiyas consists of practice questions with their answers, both provided by NCAHE, to be loaded by the students i...
