Designingprivacypreserving authenticationprotocols for massively deployed Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems is a real world challenge that have drawn significant attention from RFID community. This interest yields considerable amount of proposals targeting to overcome the main bottleneck (i.e. the exhaustive search over the list of all tag entries) which appears in the back-end data...

This paper presents a simple and easy implementable Least Mean Square (LMS) type approach for frequency estimation of three phase power system in an unbalanced condition. The proposed LMS type algorithm is based on a second order recursion for the complex voltage derived from Clarke's transformation which is proved in the paper. The proposed algorithm is real adaptive filter with real parameter...

Taylor et al. (1) claimed that New Caledonian crows are capable of reasoning about “hidden causal agents.” Their recorded increases in hide inspections and abandoned trials in the unknown causal agent (UCA) condition relative to the human causal agent (HCA) condition, which were used to infer the presence of “causal reasoning” ability, are, however, confounded by a fundamental methodological li...

A biased graph consists of a graph T and a subclass B of the polygons of T, such that no theta subgraph of T contains exactly two members of B. A subgraph is balanced when all its polygons belong to B. A vertex is a balancing vertex if deleting it leaves a balanced graph. We give a construction for unbalanced biased graphs having a balancing vertex and we show that an unbalanced biased graph ha...

We report on a 2 1/2 year old girl who is dysmorphic, developmentally delayed, and mosaic for an unbalanced, de novo translocation between chromosomes 3 and 15. The karyotype from peripheral blood lymphocytes is 46,XX (50) and the karyotype from skin fibroblasts is 46,XX (28)/46,XX,der(15)t(3;15)(q11;p11) (23). The mechanism for the generation of this unbalanced, de novo translocation is discus...

Vitamin deficiency causes various neuropathic problems including encephalopathy, myelopathy, neuropathy, and myopathy [1]. Underlying diseases include chronic chylopoietic disease represented by chronic inflammatory intestinal disease (inflammatory bowel disease; IBD), malabsorption after abdominal surgery, and alcohol poisoning. In Japan, Europe, America, and other developed countries, there i...

Binary rooted trees, both in the ordered and in the un-ordered case, are well studied structures in the field of combinatorics. The aim of this work is to study particular patterns in these classes of trees. We consider completely unbalanced subtrees, where unbalancing is measured according to the so-called Colless index. The size of the biggest unbalanced subtree becomes then a new parameter w...

Load balancing algorithms improve a program’s performance on unbalanced datasets, but can degrade performance on balanced datasets, because unnecessary load redistributions occur. This paper presents a cost-effective data-parallel load balancing algorithm which performs load redistributions only when the possible savings outweigh the redistribution costs. Experiments with a data-parallelpolygon...

The aim of this paper is to present a consensus model for group decision making problems with unbalanced linguistic information, i.e., assuming that the preferences are assessed on linguistic term sets whose terms are not symmetrically and uniformly distributed. This consensus model is based on both a fuzzy linguistic methodology to deal with unbalanced linguistic term sets and consensus criter...
