This memo defines a DHCPv4 Virtual Subnet Selection (VSS) option, a DHCPv6 VSS option, and the DHCPv4 VSS and VSS-Control sub-options carried in the DHCPv4 Relay Agent Information option. These are intended for use by DHCP clients, relay agents, and proxy clients in situations where VSS information needs to be passed to the DHCP server for proper address or prefix allocation to take place. For ...

Investigations of accidents in a number of hazardous domains suggest that a cluster of organisational pathologies—the “vulnerable system syndrome” (VSS)—render some systems more liable to adverse events. This syndrome has three interacting and self-perpetuating elements: blaming front line individuals, denying the existence of systemic error provoking weaknesses, and the blinkered pursuit of pr...

Air pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues in recent years. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, air pollution has led to the deaths of millions of people worldwide. Accordingly, expensive and complex air-monitoring instruments have been exploited to measure air pollution. Comparatively, a vehicle sensing system (VSS), as it can be effectively used ...

VSS (verifiable secret sharing) is an important security protection tool in distributed systems. When VSS is employed in publicly verifiable applications, it needs to achieve public verifiability and be upgraded to PVSS (publicly verifiable secret sharing). Besides the two basic security properties, bindingness and hidingness, PVSS concentrates on public verifiability of validity all the operat...

Modern server operating systems (OS’s) do not address the issue of interference between competing applications. This deficiency is a major road-block for Internet and Application Service Providers who want to multiplex server resources among their business clients. To insulate applications from each other, we introduce Virtual Services (VSs). Besides providing per-service resource budgets, VSs ...

A new class of search-based training algorithms for feedforward networks is introduced. These algorithms do not calculate analytical gradients and do not use stochastic or genetic search techniques. The forward step is performed to calculate error in response to localized weight changes using systematic search techniques. One of the simplest variants of this type of algorithms, the Variable Ste...

Abstract. Sentinel-3 is the first satellite altimetry mission to operate both in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mode and open-loop tracking nearly globally. Both features are expected improve ability of altimeters observe inland water bodies. Additionally, two-satellite constellation offers a unique compromise between spatial temporal resolution with over 65 000 potential targets sensed In this...

We show that verifiable secret sharing (VSS) and secure multi-party computation (MPC) among a set of n players can efficiently be based on any linear secret sharing scheme (LSSS) for the players, provided that the access structure of the LSSS allows MPC or VSS at all. Because an LSSS neither guarantees reconstructability when some shares are false, nor verifiability of a shared value, nor allow...

Abs t rac t . A publicly verifiable secret sharing (PVSS) scheme, named by Stadler in [Sta96], is a special VSS scheme in which anyone, not only the shareholders, can verify that the secret shares are correctly distributed. The property of public verifiability is what the first proposed VSS scheme [CGMA85] incorporated but later protocols [GMW87, Fe187, Ped911 failed to include. PVSS can provid...

OBJECTIVE Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by bilateral vestibular schwannomas (VSs). NF2-associated VSs (NF2-VSs) are routinely treated with microsurgery; however, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has emerged as an effective alternative in recent decades. To elucidate the role of SRS in NF2-VSs, a systematic review of the literature was conducted to ...
