The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between both expert witness confidence and juror personality with expert witness credibility, as well as expert witness credibility with juror sentencing outcome. Participants were presented with one of three randomly assigned filmed scenarios depicting various levels of manipulated witness confidence. They then completed a sentenc...

We analyze special class of bipartite states – so called Bell diagonal states. In particular we provide new examples of bound entangled Bell diagonal states and construct the class of entanglement witnesses diagonal in the magic basis.

We consider a generalization of the Gabriel graph, the witness Gabriel graph. Given a set of vertices P and a set of witness points W in the plane, there is an edge ab between two points of P in the witness Gabriel graph GG−(P,W ) if and only if the closed disk with diameter ab does not contain any witness point (besides possibly a and/or b). We study several properties of the witness Gabriel g...

The tight upper bound on the state complexity of the reverse of R-trivial and J -trivial regular languages of the state complexity n is 2n−1. The witness is ternary for R-trivial regular languages and (n− 1)ary for J -trivial regular languages. In this paper, we prove that the bound can be met neither by a binary R-trivial regular language nor by a J -trivial regular language over an (n − 2)-el...

This paper presents a new proof of the characterization of the provably recursive functions of the fragments IΣn of Peano arithmetic. The proof method also characterizes the Σk -definable functions of IΣn and of theories axiomatized by transfinite induction on ordinals. The proofs are completely proof-theoretic and use the method of witness functions and witness oracles. Similar methods also yi...

Witness encryption was proposed by Garg, Gentry, Sahai, and Waters as a means to encrypt to an instance, x, of an NP language and produce a ciphertext. In such a system, any decryptor that knows of a witness w that x is in the language can decrypt the ciphertext and learn the message. In addition to proposing the concept, their work provided a candidate for a witness encryption scheme built usi...

This study demonstrates that self-interpretation does indeed occur in Kenyan courtroom proceedings, a situation necessitates the use of language other than regular and official languages courts. Such rendered mostly terms has far-reaching ramifications on content, facts, style, meaning predispositions witness's testimony. Most studies communicative interactions, language, speech manifestations,...
