Existing classification and rule learning algorithms in machine learning mainly use heuristic/greedy search to find a subset of regularities (e.g., a decision tree or a set of rules) in data for classification. In the past few years, extensive research was done in the database community on learning rules using exhaustive search under the name of association rule mining. The objective there is t...

This report presents analysis of the compression function of a recently proposed hash function, FORK-256. We exhibit some unexpected differentials existing for the step transformation and show their possible uses in collision-finding attacks on different variants of FORK256. As a simple application of those observations we present a method of finding chosen IV collisions for a variant of FORK-2...

Recently, a certificateless signcryption scheme in the standard model was proposed by Liu et al. in [1]. Another certificateless signcryption scheme in the standard model was proposed by Xie et al. in [2]. Here, we show that the scheme in [1] and [2] are not secure against Type-I adversary. 1 Certificateless Signcryption Scheme by Liu et al.[1] 1.1 Review of the Scheme In this section, we revie...

The El Escorial criteria for the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) were established 20 years ago and have been used as inclusion criteria for clinical trials. However, concerns have been raised concerning their use as diagnostic criteria in clinical practice. Moreover, as modern genetics have shed new light on the heterogeneity of ALS and the close relationship between ALS and fr...

INTRODUCTION Radio-frequency catheter ablation (RFCA) using Joule heat has two fundamental weaknesses: the limited depth of treatment and the risk of thrombus formation. In contrast, focused shock wave (SW) therapy could damage tissues at arbitrary depths without heat generation. Thus, we aimed to develop a SW catheter ablation (SWCA) system that could compensate for the weaknesses of RFCA ther...
