The notion of online/offline encryption was put forth by Guo, Mu and Chen (FC 2008), where they proposed an identity-based scheme called identity-based online/offline encryption (IBOOE). An online/ offline encryption separates an encryption into two stages: offline and online. The offline phase carries much more computational load than the online phase, where the offline phase does not require ...

In her article "Human Cloning as the Other in Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go" Wen Guo analyzes Kazuo Ishiguro's novel with focus on Ishiguro's analogy between human cloning and people of marginality in contemporary society. Guo discusses the novel's ambience of doubt and suspense and elaborates on how the theme of otherness is addressed by Ishiguro's mock-realism in a landscape of science fiction. ...

A smartcard based password-authenticated key agreement scheme enables a legal user to log in to a remote authentication server and access remote services through public networks using a weak password and a smart card. Lin recently presented an improved chaotic maps-based password-authenticated key agreement scheme that used smartcards to eliminate the weaknesses of the scheme of Guo and Chang, ...

It has been shown [M.-Y. Ye, Y.-S. Zhang, and G.-C. Guo, Phys. Rev. A. 69, 022310 (2004)] that it is possible to perform exactly faithful remote state preparation using finite classical communication and any entangled state with maximal Schmidt number. Here we give an explicit procedure for performing this remote state preparation. We show that the classical communication required for this sche...

This paper presents a novel method for continuous inter-dependent outputs prediction that predicts each of the multiple output variables based not only on the input but also on the rest of the outputs. We do so by using for each output kernel regression functions that are a convex combination of two kernels: the first kernel defined over the input and the second over the remaining outputs. We p...

Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in mammalian CNS, essential for brain activities, as those involved in brain ontogeny and ageing, memory, and adaptation to the environment. However, high glutamate levels in synaptic cleft may be potentially neurotoxic, involved in the pathogenesis of various acute and chronic brain injuries (excitotoxicity). The main process responsible by mai...

Calculation of large complex systems remains to be a great challenge, where there is always a trade-off between accuracy and efficiency. Recently, we proposed the extended our own n-layered integrated molecular orbital (ONIOM) method (XO) (Guo, Wu, Xu, Chem. Phys. Lett. 2010, 498, 203) which surmounts some inherited limitations of the popular ONIOM method by introducing the inclusion-exclusion ...

Rational proofs, introduced by Azar and Micali (STOC 2012), are a variant of interactive proofs in which the prover is rational, and may deviate from the protocol for increasing his reward. Guo et al. (ITCS 2014) demonstrated that rational proofs are relevant to delegation of computation. By restricting the prover to be computationally bounded, they presented a one-round delegation scheme with ...
