the notion of a bead metric space is defined as a nice generalization of the uniformly convex normed space such as $cat(0)$ space, where the curvature is bounded from above by zero. in fact, the bead spaces themselves can be considered in particular as natural extensions of convex sets in uniformly convex spaces and normed bead spaces are identical with uniformly convex spaces. in this paper, w...

We des ribe eÆ ient onstru tions for various ryptographi primitives in private-key as well as publi -key ryptography. Our major results are two new onstru tions of pseudorandom fun tions. We prove the pseudo-randomness of one onstru tion under the assumption that fa toring (Blum integers) is hard while the other onstru tion is pseudo-random if the de isional version of the DiÆe-Hellman assumpti...

factor analysis is one of the most advanced multivariate statistical techniques applying to attain a variety of scientific and research goals such as model-building, hypothesis-building lest validation, identifying subtests and development conditions in order to perform the other advanced methods as multiple regression and structural equation models. while there are difficulties and complexitie...
