A new steganographic method via the use of numeric data on public websites with a self-authentication capability is proposed. The proposed technique transforms a secret message into partial shares by Shamir’s (k, n)-threshold secret sharing scheme with n = k + 1. The generated k+1 partial shares then are embedded into the numeric items to be disguised as part of the website’s numeric content, y...

Planning with numeric state variables has been a challenge for many years, and was a part of the 3rd International Planning Competition (IPC-3). One of the currently most popular and successful algorithmic techniques in STRIPS planning is to guide search by a heuristic function, where the heuristic is based on relaxing the planning task by ignoring the delete lists of the available actions. We ...

The paper generalises the notion of landmarks for reasoning about planning problems involving propositional and numeric variables. Intuitively, numeric landmarks are regions in the metric space defined by the problem whose crossing is necessary for its resolution. The paper proposes a relaxationbased method for their automated extraction directly from the problem structure, and shows how to exp...

Previous work has identified a distributed, network of neural systems involved in appraising the value of rewards, such as when winning $100. We hypothesized that involvement of intraparietal sulcus (IPS) in this network is specialized for processing numeric rather than monetary value. To test our hypothesis, we manipulated numeric magnitude and units to construct a range of economic rewards (e...

“Numbers are the highest degree of knowledge. It is knowledge itself.”- Plato“The world built on power numbers.” Pythagoras“Everything around you Shakuntala Devi.The date, we were born on, was not an accident. Each number in our date birth connected with certain energies and vibrations. Similarly, each every letter name (first as well full name) also has particular frequency, vibrations.The com...

When developing programs or websites, it is very convenient to use relational databases, which contain powerful and tools that allow work with data flexibly get the necessary information in a matter of milliseconds. A database consists tables records these tables, each table must have primary key, particular, can be number BIGINT type, unique index record table, allows fetch operation maximum s...

Our work at the National Center for Atmospheric Research includes processing data from research meteorological radars. We evaluate and tune signalprocessing algorithms that process as much as 1500 megabytes of data per hour in real-time. In the past year, we have designed and implemented the Python Environment for Radar Processing (PERP) using Numeric Python to aid in our research. Because Pyth...

Memory for numbers improves with age and experience. We tested the hypothesis that one source of this improvement is a logarithmic-to-linear shift in children’s representations of numeric magnitude. In Experiment 1, we found that linearity of representations improved with age and that the more linear children’s magnitude representations were, the more closely their memory of the numbers approxi...
