consider search designs for searching one nonzero 2- or 3-factor interaction under the search linear model. in the noisy case, search probability is given by shirakura et al. (ann. statist. 24(6) (1996) 2560). in this paper some new properties of the searching probability are presented. new properties of the search probability enable us to compare designs, which depend on an unknown parameter ?...

solubility of hydrocarbons in water is important due to ecological concerns and new restrictions on the existence of organic pollutants in water streams. also, the creation of a thermodynamic model has required an advanced study of the phase equilibrium between water (as a basis for the widest spread muds and amines) and gas hydrocarbon phases in wide temperature and pressure ranges. therefore,...

Tidal torque may lead to important effects in the strong field interaction at the end point of the inspiral of two rapidly rotating black holes. We point out here that in such a case the exchange of spin and orbital angular momentum may significantly affect the energy and waveform of late stage gravitational waves, and may play an important role in the shedding of excess angular momentum. We ar...

We define a class of graphs that summarize in a compact visual way the interaction structure between binary multivariate characteristics. This allows studying the conditional dependency structure between the underlying stochastic variables at a finer scale than with classical probabilistic Graphical Models. A model selection strategy is derived based on an iterative optimization procedure and t...

This article reviews the current works on ultra-compact double-degenerate binaries in the presence of magnetic interaction, in particular, unipolar induction. The orbital dynamics and evolution of compact white-dwarf pairs are discussed in detail. Models and predictions of electron cyclotron masers from unipolar-inductor compact binaries and unipolar-inductor white-dwarf planetary systems are p...

An analysis of selected fission fragment angular distributions from helium-ion induced fission is made using an exact theoretical expression. Theoretical anisotropies obtained with the transition state model are compared with their corresponding values deduced from the statistical scission model. The nuclear moment of inertia extracted from the model calculations are compared with their est...

Assuming solely the existence of one-way functions, we show how to construct Garbled RAM Programs (GRAM) where its size only depends on fixed polynomial in the security parameter times the program running time. We stress that we avoid converting the RAM programs into circuits. As an example, our techniques implies the first garbled binary search program (searching over sorted encrypted data sto...

The paper describes an implementation of a generator of random instances of non-binary constraint satisfaction problems that meets a given set of specifications. This is a continuation of the work we started in [1]. 1 Description The program is designed to generate random instances of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) that meet a set of specified parameters, such as the number of variable...

We construct an e cient interactive protocol for realizing veri able partial escrow of the factors of an integer n with time-delayed and threshold key recovery features. The computational cost of the new scheme amounts to 10k log2 P multiplications of numbers of size of P , where P is a protocol parameter which permits n of size up to (log2 P ) 4 to be dealt with and k is a security parameter w...
