Generalized secret sharing is a method of constructing secret sharing from the perspective of access structure. In this paper, we propose a novel solution for achieving generalized secret sharing with linear hierarchical secrets. We use a matrix to model the relationship related to the access structure and transfer the matrix to modular arithmetic, which is calculated by Chinese Remainder Theor...

-Evidence is presented that microscopic tumours (of a transplantable murine mammary carcinoma, M8013X) grow faster than larger, palpable, tumours. Microscopic tumours are also more radiosensitive than larger tumours. The decrease in radiosensitivity in larger tumours is prevented to a large extent by misonidazole, which has no significant effect on the radiosensitivity of microscopic tumours. T...

We consider the following game introduced by Chung, Graham, and Leighton in [Chung et al. 01]. One player, A, picks k > 1 secrets from a universe of N possible secrets, and another player, B, tries to gain as much information about this set as possible by asking binary questions f : [N ] −→ {0, 1}. Upon receiving a question f , A adversarially chooses one of her k secrets, and answers f accordi...
