we study entanglement and squeezing of a cluster of spin systems under the influence of the two-axis countertwisting hamiltonian. the squeezing parameters given by wineland et al and also by kitagawa et al. are chosen as the criteria of spin squeezing. the criterion of pairwise entanglement is chosen to be the concurrence and that of the bipartite entanglement the linear entropy. we also define...

Mu et al. proposed an electronic voting protocol and claimed that it protects voter’s anonymity, detects double voting and authenticates eligible voters. It has been shown that it does not protect voter’s privacy and prevent double voting. After that several improvement have been presented on it which suffer from the same weaknesses. One of the latest improvement on it, relates to Rodriguez-Hen...

Theories guide the practice and research of distance education. Traditionally, theories of distance education have been derived from classical European or American models based on correspondence study. Recently, telecommunications systems have significantly altered the practice of distance education in the United States and have produced a uniquely American approach to this field. This has crea...

The concept of I-convergence was introduced by Kostyrko et al (2001).It seems therefore reasonable to investigate the concept of I -convergence for the double sequences in 2-normed spaces.In this article we define and investigate ideal analogue of convergence for double sequences in 2-normed space and so we extend this concepts to I2-limit points and I2-cluster points in this spaces.We prove so...

Regarding our article on the association of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with increased Alzheimer’s disease risk, Bowen et al, Froehner and Wirth, Leow et al, and Brady et al highlight a number of significant considerations that will prove important in the design of future studies that investigate the association of ADT and Alzheimer’s disease. We agree with Bowen et al and Leow et al tha...

we study the limiting distribution of the degree of a given node in a scaled attachment random recursive tree, a generalized random recursive tree, which is introduced by devroye et. al (2011). in a scaled attachment random recursive tree, every node $i$ is attached to the node labeled $lfloor ix_i floor$ where $x_0$, $ldots$ , $x_n$ is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables, with support in [0,...
