The Rational Speech Acts (RSA) model treats language use as a recursive process in which probabilistic speaker and listener agents reason about each other’s intentions to enrich the literal semantics of their language along broadly Gricean lines. RSA has been shown to capture many kinds of conversational implicature, but it has been criticized as an unrealistic model of speakers, and it has so ...

The aim of the current study was to examine the moderating effect of baseline respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) on Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), a behavioral parent-training intervention, for young children born premature. In this pilot randomized controlled trial, 28 young children (mean age of 37.79 months), who were born <37 weeks gestation and presented with elevated externalizi...

Root system architecture (RSA) describes the dynamic spatial configuration of different types and ages of roots in a plant, which allows adaptation to different environments. Modifications in RSA enhance agronomic traits in crops and have been implicated in soil organic carbon content. Together, these fundamental properties of RSA contribute to the net carbon balance and overall sustainability ...

The last few months, several new results appeared about the OAEP construction, and namely the RSA–OAEP cryptosystem. Whereas OAEP was believed to provide the highest security level (IND-CCA2), with an efficient exact security level, the effective security result had been showed to be incomplete. Nevertheless, the particular instantiation with RSA (which is anyway almost the sole application) ha...

The RSA (Rivest, Shamir and Adleman) is one of the most preferred algorithms for asymmetric cryptography. Modular exponentiation is the time consuming part of RSA algorithm. It’s a common way to use parallel processing to achieve faster results in terms of speed. In this study, a new method exploiting parallel processing is proposed for RSA cryptography. This parallel method employs the hypercu...

A method for the accurate time-domain characterization of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) pattern is presented and applied to two groups of healthy subjects to lay the baseline of RSA patterns and to underlay their features: response to standing, stability in successive recordings, and individuality of the shape of RSA pattern. RSA pattern is evaluated by selective averaging of heart rate (H...

Parasympathetic nervous system influences on cardiac functions-commonly indexed via respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA)-are central to self-regulation. RSA suppression during challenging emotional and cognitive tasks is often associated with better emotional and behavioral functioning in preschoolers. However, the links between RSA suppression and child behavior across various challenging interp...

Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) was employed to relate the root surface area (RSA) to the periodontal attachment levels (PALs) of extracted premolars to diagnose periodontitis. Single-rooted human maxillary and mandibular premolars 31 and 36, respectively, were surveyed by micro-CT and its associated software. RSA levels from the 1st to 10th mm, corono-apically, were analyzed using statist...

The plant root is the first organ to encounter salinity stress, but the effect of salinity on root system architecture (RSA) remains elusive. Both the reduction in main root (MR) elongation and the redistribution of the root mass between MRs and lateral roots (LRs) are likely to play crucial roles in water extraction efficiency and ion exclusion. To establish which RSA parameters are responsive...

This paper describes a new hybrid RSA-based public-key encryption scheme, the HD-RSA. It relies on the recently proposed Dependent{RSA problem, which can be proven as di cult as the original RSA problem, in some circumstances. The basic scheme, using the \one-time pad" symmetric encryption, provides a both very e cient scheme and secure relative to the sole Dependent{RSA problem. A more general...
