This report documents the results of task 4.2.2 “Secure Semi-Passive RFID Tags”. After a brief motivation for development of semi-passive tags in WP4 as prototype platform, the report shortly describes the three different platforms. A more detailed report about the development of the tags is available in D4.2.1. The following analysis section presents the results of the tests that were performe...

This article explores why national judges remain passive on EU legal integration by examining judges’ reasons for not requesting preliminary rulings from the European Court of Justice (ECJ). The combines insights social psychology and literature role courts in to formulate expectations regarding what type motives guide behaviours. Drawing interviews held with Croatian, Slovenian Swedish judges,...

Human beings can be proactive and engaged or, alternatively, passive and alienated, largely as a function of the social conditions in which they develop and function. Accordingly, research guided by self-determination theory has focused on the social-contextual conditions that facilitate versus forestall the natural processes of self-motivation and healthy psychological development. Specificall...

Computer-based instructional interventions are increasingly popular in classroom curricula. For students to benefit from these interventions, it is vital that they are properly trained to use the software. We investigate the effects of using active versus passive training techniques to familiarize users with a graphical programming environment, Alice. We examine the impact using measures of kno...

The project ART proposes to enhance passive RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags with cryptographically secure authentication. Starting with a short introduction into common RFID systems with passive tags, we present a motivation why secure authentication with standardized symmetric crypto algorithms for RFID tags is necessary for many applications. We demonstrate vulnerabilities of curre...

We explore an optical network architecture which employs dense wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology and passive waveguide grating routers (WGR’s) to establish a virtual topology based on lightpath communication. We examine the motivation and the technical challenges involved in this approach, propose and examine the characteristics of a network design algorithm, and provide some il...

In this paper we demonstrate that a passive vibration strategy can bring a 1 degree of freedom ball to a known trajectory from all possible initial configurations. We draw motivation from the problem of parts feeding in sensorless assembly. We provide simulation results suggesting the relevance of our analytical results to the parts feeding problem.

The use of an interactive approach in the learning process lies need to improve education system, increase students' motivation learn English, and introduce new effective teaching methods. article deals with methods a foreign language. Three forms are proposed: passive, active
