Let G = (G1,G2) be a Gaussian vector in R 2 with E(G1G2) 6= 0. Let c1, c2 ∈ R. A necessary and sufficient condition for the vector ((G1+c1α) , (G2+c2α) ) to be infinitely divisible for all α ∈ R is that Γi,i ≥ ci c j Γi, j > 0 ∀1≤ i 6= j ≤ 2. (0.1) In this paper we show that when (0.1) does not hold there exists an 0 < α0 < ∞ such that ((G1 + c1α) , (G2 + c2α) ) is infinitely divisible for all ...

The Electronic Product Code Generation 2 (EPC Gen2) is an international standard that proposes the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in the supply chain. It is designed to balance cost and functionality. As a consequence, security on board of EPC Gen2 tags is often minimal. It is, indeed, mainly based on the use of on board pseudorandomness, used to obscure the communication between ...

Event-driven process chains (EPC) are used by many companies for modelling, analysing and redesigning business processes. The resulting EPC models are used as a starting point for the development of information systems and for the definition of workflows. They can be applied for simulation and activity based costing. A major area of application is the implementation of standard software package...

This paper proposed a novel EPC (Electronic Product Code) UHF RFID tag architecture to transmit both EPC code and sensor data. The RFID tag module contains a RF transceiver, command interpreter and digital anti-collision finite state machines, and sensor data input interface. The demo circuits were realized by combining an ALTERA Cyclone II EP2C5T144C7 FPGA chip with a hybrid RF front-end circu...

ion ICFEM’04, Seattle, 12/Nov/2004 Slide 53 (cs(· · ·), Ψ) abstracts to (cs(· · ·), Φ) where Ψ |= Φ Key Advantage: • In infinite state problems, can make it finite; • In traversing the program flow, can reduce the number of steps to a (post-)fixpoint. Key Problem: how to derermine the abstraction? Many verification systems use the methodology of Counter-example Guided Abstraction Refinement eg ...

a transmission control scheme plays an important role in determining a protocol’s performance. Protocol performance can be measured based on a variety of factors. In this paper we compared four protocols that are compatible with EPC C1G2 standard using four units of performance, namely System Efficiency, Time System Efficiency, Total Number of Slots and Total Time.The results show not only the ...

The MAGE-C1/CT7 encodes a cancer/testis antigen (CTA), is located on the chromosomal region Xq26-27 and is highly polymorphic in humans. MAGE-C1/CT7 is frequently expressed in multiple myeloma (MM) that may be a potential target for immunotherapy in this still incurable disease. MAGEC1/CT7 expression is restricted to malignant plasma cells and it has been suggested that MAGE-C1/CT7 might play a...

INTRODUCTION Administration of human C1 esterase inhibitor (Berinert(®) P) from target import is the most widespread treatment strategy for patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE). However, a therapeutic health program including Ruconest(®) (conestat alfa) could shorten a patient's expectancy for a life-saving treatment. AIM To evaluate the cost-utility of Ruconest(®) (conestat alfa) financ...
