The Discrete Logarithm and the Diffie-Hellman are two hard computational problems, closely related to cryptography and its applications. The computational equivalence of these problems has been proved only for some special cases. In this study, using LU-decomposition to Vandermonde matrices, we are able to transform the two problems in terms of matrices, thus giving a new perspective to their e...

background: brucellosis is the most common bacterial zoonosis worldwide. greece has the highest reported incidence among eu countries. however, occupational risk factors have not been well described. objective: to determine the incidence patterns and exposure risk factors of brucellosis in greece. methods: we used national-level surveillance and occupational denominator data to estimate the inc...

the main idea of this paper is to study the dependence between the probability of default and the recovery rate on credit portfolio and to seek empirically this relationship. we examine the dependence between pd and rr by theoretical approach. for the empirically methodology, we use the bootstrapped quantile regression and the simultaneous quantile regression. these methods allow to determinate...

BACKGROUND Evidence suggests there is an association between depressive symptoms and disability. OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS The objective of this study was to examine whether people with disabilities in the United Kingdom and Greece face more depressive symptoms than people without disabilities. The hypothesis was that people with disabilities in both countries are more likely to experience depress...
