METHODS We conducted an observational study using Framingham Heart Study data to assess screening for eligible individuals during the late 1990s. We used logistic reg...

The main goal of this article is to offer various insights in the domain of lane detection system of ITS. More specifically, we provide an overview of various lane detection techniques by establishing several ways of categorization in tabular form. Finally, we spot the left over gaps both in research and in system level evaluation and propose research directions for bridging these gaps. A proce...

We introduce the notion of tamper-evidence for digital signature generation in order to defend against attacks aimed at covertly leaking secret information held by corrupted network nodes. This is achieved by letting observers (which need not be trusted) verify the absence of covert channels by means of techniques we introduce herein. We call our signature schemes tamper-evident since any devia...

However, our understanding of the importance of temporal dimensions of social motor synchrony in social dysfunction is limited. Here, we used a pendulum coordination pa...
