Nowadays, due to the advances of many industries people tend to travel much more in compared to the past. Without any doubt, various types of climates and weathers, vemacular diseases, changes in life style and qualitative and quantitative changes of nutrition are all the factors of which many diseases occur during trips. Travel associated anxieties and fears are common. It has been suggested t...

The use of similarities has been one of the main approaches to resolve the ambiguities of coordinate structures. In this paper, we present an alternative method for coordination disambiguation, which does not use similarities. Our hypothesis is that coordinate structures are supported by surrounding dependency relations, and that such dependency relations rather yield similarity between conjunc...

Let A be a basis for N0 of some order. By an essentiality of A one means a subset P such that A\P is no longer a basis (of any order) and such that P is minimal among all subsets of A with this property. In a recent paper, Deschamps and Farhi asked whether every basis of N0 possesses some such subset. We construct, for every integer h ≥ 2, a basis of order h with no essentialities.

The absolute privacy of the secret-keys associated with cryptographic algorithms has been the corner-stone of modern cryptography. Still, in practice, keys do get compromised at times for a variety or reasons. A particularly disturbing loss of secrecy is as a result of side channel attacks. These attacks exploit the fact that every cryptographic algorithm is ultimately implemented on a physical...

An important part of textual inference is making deductions involving monotonicity, that is, determining whether a given assertion entails restrictions or relaxations of that assertion. For instance, the statement ‘We know the epidemic spread quickly’ does not entail ‘We know the epidemic spread quickly via fleas’, but ‘We doubt the epidemic spread quickly’ entails ‘We doubt the epidemic spread...
