The Hopf algebra dual form for the non–standard uniparametric deformation of the (1+1) Poincaré algebra iso(1, 1) is deduced. In this framework, the quantum coordinates that generate Funw(ISO(1, 1)) define an infinite dimensional Lie algebra. A change in the basis of the dual form is obtained in order to compare this deformation to the standard one. Finally, a non– standard quantum Heisenberg g...

This document has been prepared by retyping the text of ISO DIS 8473 of May 1984, which is currently undergoing voting within ISO as a Draft International Standard (DIS). Although this RFC has been reviewed after typing, and is believed to be substantially correct, it is possible that typographic errors not present in the ISO document have been overlooked.

Laboratories with a quality system accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard have a definite advantage, compared to non-accredited laboratories, when preparing their facilities for the implementation of the principles of good laboratory practice (GLP) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Accredited laboratories have an established quality system covering the admi...

introduction: providing high quality care in emergency room is highly critical. this research was planned to compare emergency room standards of the iranian ministry of health with those of iso9001 (version 2000) method: this descriptive study compared iso 9001 standards with items listed in booklet- a1 (iranian ministry of health standards for emergency departments). expert views were sought f...

conclusions generally, there is a lack of robust and high quality empirical evidence regarding the effects of iso 9001 and the efqm model on the quality care provided by and the performance of hospitals. however, the limited evidence shows that iso 9001 and the efqm model might improve hospital performance. results seven out of the 121 studies that were retrieved met the inclusion criteria. thr...

Introduction: During the past several decades, increases in life expectancy, body weight and activity level of total knee replacement (TKR) candidates have been documented, thereby implicating the necessity for implant endurance and durability[1]. Knee wear simulators are an essential assessment tool for pre-clinical evaluation of prosthesis performance, particularly since wear is the most prev...

In this paper, we present ISO-TimeML, a revised and interoperable version of the temporal markup language, TimeML. We describe the changes and enrichments made, while framing the effort in a more general methodology of semantic annotation. In particular, we assume a principled distinction between the annotation of an expression and the representation which that annotation denotes. This involves...

This work proposes a methodology for source code quality and static behaviour evaluation of a software system, based on the standard ISO/IEC-9126. It uses elements automatically derived from source code enhanced with expert knowledge in the form of quality characteristic rankings, allowing software engineers to assign weights to source code attributes. It is flexible in terms of the set of metr...

In [8] Vaudenay presented an attack on block cipher CBCmode encryption when a particular padding method is used. In this paper, we employ a similar approach to analyse the padding methods of the ISO CBC-mode encryption standard. We show that, for several of the padding methods referred to by this standard, we can exploit an oracle returning padding correctness information to efficiently extract...
