We consider the security of Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) in the setting of multiple Trusted Authorities (TAs). In this multi-TA setting, we envisage multiple TAs sharing some common parameters, but each TA generating its own master secrets and master public keys. We provide security notions and security models for the multi-TA setting which can be seen as natural extensions of existing notio...

Using GIS-based land use map for the urban-rural division (the relative ratio of population density adjusted to relatively Aedes-infested land area), we demonstrated significant independent observations of seasonal and geographical variation of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus vectors between Muang Narathiwat district (urban setting) and neighbor districts (rural setting) of Narathiwat, South...

the main purpose of the study is determination of the pollutants hazard potential as well as environmental vulnerability of qarah su river. first the most significant pollutant sources in the qarah su river watershed were identified and then accordingly the pollution hazard potential rate was calculated in universal ranking system model setting. then, by generalizing the algebraic sum of the re...

soil, a 3-dimensional component of the landscape, or simply a natural body in a soilscape with a given geopedological setting, was modeled by jenny as s = f (climate, organism, relief, parent material, time). to map such a complex body, the concept ‗pedon’ –the smallest volume that can be recognized as a soil had to be defined. classically, soil is known to function as provider, controller, reg...

here, a finsler manifold $(m,f)$ is considered with corresponding curvature tensor, regarded as $2$-forms on the bundle of non-zero tangent vectors. certain subspaces of the tangent spaces of $m$ determined by the curvature are introduced and called $k$-nullity foliations of the curvature operator. it is shown that if the dimension of foliation is constant, then the distribution is involutive a...

INTRODUCTION Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer; however, few data are available relating to patients' perspectives and experiences of this disease. This study explored the spectrum of BCC symptoms and their impact by disease stage to determine how BCC affects the overall health-related quality of life (HRQL) of patients. METHODS This study comprised a cross-sec...

OBJECTIVE To update previous systematic review of predictive models for 28-day or 30-day unplanned hospital readmissions. DESIGN Systematic review. SETTING/DATA SOURCE CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE from 2011 to 2015. PARTICIPANTS All studies of 28-day and 30-day readmission predictive model. OUTCOME MEASURES Characteristics of the included studies, performance of the identified predictive mod...

Choriocarcinoma is an extremely rare pathology among breast malignancies. It is introduced by two distinct terms in the literatures: breast cancer with choriocarcinomatous features and metastatic choriocarcinoma to the breast. In this case report, the history, physical examination, laboratory findings, imaging studies, and pathological findings of breast choriocarcinoma in a 41-year-old woman a...

Most of the pheochromocytomas (PCCs) are benign neoplasms, but when they are malignant, they can be difficult to treat. Despite advances in diagnosis and imaging, it remains an untreatable tumor, when metastases develop. A deeper understanding of the alteration of the specific molecular pathways causing malignant PCCs might hopefully lead in the future to the development of multiple molecular-t...

The aim of this review is to give an overview of the extracellular matrix (ECM) components that are important for creating structural changes in the premetastatic and metastatic niche. The successful arrival and survival of cancer cells that have left the primary tumor and colonized distant sites depends on the new microenvironment they encounter. The primary tumor itself releases factors into ...
