In an effort to rapidly identify coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), a clinical comparison was conducted with the AutoMicrobic system Gram-Positive Identification Card (GPI) (Vitek Systems, Inc.), the API Staph-Ident (Analytab Products), and the conventional methods of W. E. Kloos and K. H. Schleifer (W. E. Kloos and K. H. Schleifer, J. Clin. Microbiol. 1:82-88, 1975). CNS isolates tested i...

A group of 300 clinically derived isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci were tested in parallel with the API STAPH-IDENT system (Analytab Products) and 14 conventional biochemical tests contained in Kloos and Schleifer's simplified scheme for identification of human Staphylococcus species. STAPH-IDENT is a miniaturized biochemical test strip that incorporates four synthetic chromogenic s...

The file transfer committee met and discussed the Mail Box Protocol RFC 221, NIC 7612. The potential utility for the mechanism was confirmed and a couple of changes suggested. We first give the changes and then restate the Protocol. CHANGES 1) The Mail Box Protocol is only to allow ASCII stings of text formatted for a network standard line printer rather than allowing other data types. 2) A new...

The API Staph-Ident system was evaluated as a means for identifying the species of bovine strains of staphylococci routinely isolated from quarter-milk samples. The species identity of 314 of 581 (54%) isolates of staphylococci was correctly determined by this method. The API Staph-Ident system was more accurate in correctly identifying Staphylococcus aureus (93.9%) than in correctly identifyin...

The task of this paper is to introduce a new lightweight identification protocol based on biometric data and elliptic curves. In fact, we combine biometric data and asymetric cryptography, namely elliptic curves and standard tools to design a multifactor identification protocol. Our scheme is light, very fast, secure and robust against all the known attacks on identification protocol. Therefore...

In this paper, we propose an extremely simple identification protocol and prove its security using the Knowledge-of-Exponent Assumption (KEA). We also discuss the applicability of KEA in various protocol settings as well. Recently, doubts have been raised about applying KEA in some protocols where an adversary has auxiliary inputs. However, we suggest that KEA is applicable in these cases. We p...

We deal with an inverse elastic scattering problem for the shape determination of a rigid scatterer in time-harmonic regime. prove local stability estimate $log\,log$ type ident...

Identifying unknown differential equations from a given set of discrete time dependent data is challenging problem. A small amount noise can make the recovery unstable. Nonlinearity and varying coefficients add complexity to We assume that governing partial equation (PDE) linear combination few terms in prescribed dictionary, objective this paper find correct coefficients. propose new direction...

This paper studies a new problem called fair identification: given two parties, how should they identify each other in a fair manner. More precisely, if both parties are honest then they learn each other’s identity, and if anyone is cheating then either both of them learn each other’s identity or no one learns no information about the identity of the other. We propose a security model and a pro...

This paper describes a method to extract 3-D information from two cameras in the scene on which mu l t i p le s t r ipes are projected. Though a s ingle camera cannot i den t i f y each s t r i pe in a scene and i t s image when d i scon t i nu i t i es of each s t r i pe occur, w i th one more camera which our method employs the ident i f icat ion problem can be solved, because multiple stripe...
