In this paper we give a detailed analysis of deterministic and randomized algorithms that enumerate any number of irreducible polynomials of degree n over a finite field and their roots in the extension field in quasilinear∗ time cost per element. Our algorithm is based on an improved algorithm for enumerating all the Lyndon words of length n in linear delay time and the known reduction of Lynd...

The EuroCoOp Task Manager allows for asynchronous distributed work management. It provides means for dynamic and flexible modification of task shared by users. This paper describes the extension of the EuroCoOp Task Manager to meeting support functionality. Examining the specific requirements for meeting support, there are some demands which are already covered by the Task Manager itself and so...

Vegetarianism is an old classic eating behavior that leads to lessening of several health risk factors. Vegetarian diet is reported to improve control of blood glucose concentration, to lower insulin requirement and to aid in weight control in diabetic patients. However, there is no evidence for the prevalence of diabetes mellitus to be significantly lower in vegetarians than in non-vegetarians...

How much does language influence how we think? How far are the categories of our language contingent and culture-specific? Few questions are of greater significance to the social sciences. In this paper we attempt to demonstrate that linguistic semantics can address these questions with rigour and precision, by analysing some examples of cultural 'key words' in several languages. We want to arg...

This study explored touchscreen keyboards using high precision touchscreen strategies. Phase one evaluated three possible monitor positions: 30, 45, and 75 degrees from horizontal. Results indicate that the 75 degree angle, approximately the standard monitor position, resulted in more fatigue and lower preference ratings. Phase two collected touch bias and key size data for the 30 degree angle....

Antimony tilt implantation has been utilized for source and drain extension formation of n-MOSFETs. The tilt implantation is a very convenient method to provide adequate overlap between the extensions and a gate electrode. MOSFET drive current was effectively improved by the tilt implantation without degrading short channel effects. key words: MOSFET, extension, gate, overlap, tilt implantation...

In order to define a modern approach for Software Process Improvement (SPI), the SPI Manifesto was developed, discussed, and finalized at the 16 EuroSPI Conference in 2009 in Alcala, Spain. The common understanding gained during the discussion and usage of the manifesto formed a nucleus from which the new ISO/IEC 33014[ISO01] was derived. In parallel to the development of the SPI Manifesto, the...

This paper introduces the concept of “revocable unlinkability” for unlinkable anonymous signatures and proposes a generalized scheme that modifies the signatures to include revocable unlinkability. Revocable unlinkability provides a condition in which multiple messages signed using an unlinkable anonymous signature are unlinkable for anyone except the unlinkability revocation manager. Noteworth...
