INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise and token-behavior therapy on the negative symptoms of schizophrenic patients. OBJECTIVE Comparison of the effectiveness of exercise and token-behavior therapy on the negative symptoms of schizophrenic patients. METHODS This research was a randomized controlled clinical trial that was done on 45 schizophrenic patients, ...

Our protocol is a randomized self-stabilizing, meaning that starting from an arbitrary configuration (in response to an arbitrary perturbation modifying the memory state), it reaches (with probability 1) a legitimate configuration (i.e. a configuration with only one token in the network). Once the system is stabilized the circulation of the sole token is 1-fair (i.e. in every round, every proce...

We present an authentication protocol that allows a token, such as a smart card, to authenticate itself to a back-end trusted computer system through an untrusted reader. This protocol relies on the fact that the token will only respond to queries slowly, and that the token owner will not sit patiently while the reader seems not to be working. This protocol can be used alone, with \dumb" memory...

Ethereum has emerged as a dynamic platform for exchanging cryptocurrency tokens. While token crowdsales cannot simultaneously guarantee buyers both certainty of valuation and certainty of participation, we show that if each token buyer specifies a desired purchase quantity at each valuation then everyone can successfully participate. Our implementation introduces smart contract techniques which...

PURPOSE In this study, multiple measures of voicing acquisition were used to evaluate the extent to which developmental patterns based on voice onset time (VOT) mean data differed from those based on token-by-token analyses in typically developing 2-year-olds. METHOD Multiple repetitions of words containing initial /b p d t/ were elicited from 10 English-speaking children biweekly for 4 month...
