Responding to the PIN cracking attacks from Berkman and Ostrovsky (FC 2007), we outline a simple solution called salted-PIN. Instead of sending the regular user PIN, salted-PIN requires an ATM to generate a Transport Final PIN from a user PIN, account number, and a salt value (stored on the bank card) through, e.g., a pseudo-random function. We explore different attacks on this solution, and pr...

Fins are protrusions on a heat transfer surface to augment heat transfer rate from it. The increase in area exposed to convection in case of finned surfaces results in increased heat transfer rate. In this study heat transfer characteristics of a pin fin with perforation is numerically analyzed. A pin fin is fabricated and experiments are done under forced convection conditions. The experimenta...

INTRODUCTION Over-expression of penile neuronal nitric oxide synthase (PnNOS) from a plasmid ameliorates aging-related erectile dysfunction (ED), whereas over-expression of the protein inhibitor of NOS (PIN), that binds to nNOS, increases ED. AIM To improve this form of gene therapy for ED by comparing the electrical field response of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) for PIN with that of antisense P...

o bjective: to describe the clinical characteristics, presentation and management of pardah pin inhalation in female teenagers of single center in northern india. m e thods: this was a prospective cross-sectional study being performed in department of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery of sher-i-kashmir institute of medical sciences located in northern india from january 2009 to december 2012....

We present a pin-assignment algorithm based on a new multi-layer chip-level global router. Combining pin assignment and global routing has been an important approach for the pin-assignment problem. But there are many difficulties when combining the two processes. In the past, only specialized global routing methods were used in the combined process. In our pin assignment program, we use an actu...

probability of private information based trade (pin) has introduced as information risk measure. this paper is going to estimate probability of private information based trade (pin) in tehran stock exchange using microstructure models. our results show that pin is significantly different from zero for tehran stock exchange.

INTRODUCTION Pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common elbow fractures in pediatric patients. Surgical fixation using pins is the primary treatment for displaced fractures. Pin site infections may follow supracondylar humerus fracture fixation; the previously reported incidence rate in the literature is 2.34%, but there is significant variability in reported incidence rates ...

UNLABELLED Pin tract inflammation and/or infection are common with the use of external fixation devices. Pin sites need to be managed to help prevent complications. There are a variety of regimens proposed for pin care in the literature. The authors present an efficient and simplified approach for addressing pin care protocol using cord locks with the use of compression sponges for external fix...

Informed Trading and the Pricing of Good and Bad Private Information in the Cross-Section of Expected Stock Returns We decompose PIN, the Probability of Informed Trading, into components that capture informed trading on good news (PIN G) and on bad news (PIN B), and provide new evidence that PIN and its components capture informed trading around quarterly earnings announcements. Our principal r...

OBJECTIVE To assess the incidence of diagnosis of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia or prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), and atypical small gland proliferation (ASAP) at a uropathology reference center. To assess the indexes and findings on repeat biopsies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Diagnoses of PIN, ASAP or PIN + ASAP established between January 1, 2001 and December 31, 2003 were sear...
