ing away from the low level implementation problems (like network failures), thefirst threat above can result from two different situations: (a) the User Client application maybe compromised and (b) the Mode Register becomes compromised and returns the wrongmodes for the credential atoms. The situation in which the User Client application is com-promised (a) is less interesting ...

We consider three-dimensional reshaping of thin nemato-elastic sheets containing half-charged defects upon nematic-isotropic transition. Gaussian curvature, that can be evaluated analytically when the nematic texture is known, differs from zero in the entire domain and has a dipole or hexapole singularity, respectively, at defects of positive or negative sign. The latter kind of defects appears...

Even though. since the 1970s,Auschwitl has eclipsed Dachau as the most widely recognized symbol of Nazi atrocities, the Dachau concentration camp museum remains by far the most visited original site associated with Nazi Germany. With the annual number of visitors rising from ca. 100,000 in the early 19505 to peak at just under 1 million in the late 19805. the Dachau memorial site museum ranks a...

We consider reshaping an obstacle virtually by using transformation optics in acoustic and electromagnetic scattering. Among the general virtual reshaping results, the virtual minification and virtual magnification are particularly studied. Stability estimates are derived for scattering amplitude in terms of the diameter of a small obstacle, which implies that the limiting case for minification...

Objectives: The SMART study is a three-year, longitudinal, multicenter evaluation comparing corneal reshaping contact lenses (CRCL) influence on the progression of myopia in children (age 8 to 14 at enrollment) to the wearing of soft silicone hydrogel contact lenses (SCL) worn on a daily wear basis with monthly replacement. This study represents one of the largest patient enrollment with ten in...

The Coulomb interaction among massless Dirac fermions in graphene is unscreened around the isotropic Dirac points, causing a logarithmic velocity renormalization and a cone reshaping. In less symmetric Dirac materials possessing anisotropic cones with tilted axes, the Coulomb interaction can provide still more exotic phenomena, which have not been experimentally unveiled yet. Here, using site-s...

Matrix-pattern-oriented Least Squares Support Vector Classifier (MatLSSVC) can directly classify matrix patterns and has a superior classification performance than its vector version Least Squares Support Vector Classifier (LSSVC) especially for images. However, it can be found that the classification performance of MatLSSVC is matrixization-dependent, i.e. heavily relying on the reshaping ways...

We analyze the resolution limit that can be achieved by means of spectral reshaping in optical coherence tomography images and demonstrate that the resolution can be improved by means of modelessly reshaping the source spectrum in postprocessing. We show that the optimal spectrum has a priori surprising "crater-like" shape, providing 0.74 micron axial resolution in free space. This represents ~...
