The pioneering and well-known work of Burrows, Abadi and Needham (the BAN logic) which dominates the area of security protocol analysis is shown to take an approach which is not fully formal and which consequently permits approval of dangerous protocols. Measures to make the BAN logic formal are then proposed. The formalisation is found to be desirable not only for its potential in providing ri...

Methods 1. Determination of Free and Esterified Vitamin A in Blood Plasma The Fujita method (1) using alumina chromatography for separating vita min A alcohol from esterified form and measuring photometrically with the glycerol dichlorohydrin method, was employed. 2. Determination of Vitamin A Content of Feces The improved method of Fujita (2) for eliminating non-vitamin A sub stances in feces,...

Dental caries and periodontal disease are two of the most common human diseases along with the common cold. Signs of dental caries have been seen even in early hominids (Australopithecus). It is well known that many signs of dental caries and periodontal disease were also seen in the Krapina Neanderthals and the archaic homo sapiens Kabwe man (also called “Broken Hill Man”: human from 300,000-1...

This paper introduces the sensor-networked IoT model as a prototype to support the design of Body Area Network (BAN) applications for healthcare. Using the model, we analyze the synergistic effect of the functional requirements (data collection from the human body and transferring it to the top level) and non-functional requirements (trade-offs between energy-security-environmental factors, tre...
