With the widespread use of cloud computing and cloud storage, how to ensure the authenticity of data in remote storage has become a severe problem. Provable data possession (PDP) and Proof of Retrievability (POR) are techniques for a client to verify whether an untrusted server possesses the original data entirely, and many PDP and POR schemes have been proposed to resolve above issue so far. B...

This article presents an analysis of case study data from a project evaluating Personal Development Planning (PDP) at a large post-1992 university in England. The study was undertaken as part of a strategy of encouraging schools to build on existing experience while at the same time ensuring consistency with new national guidelines for the implementation of PDP across the whole sector. The aim ...

Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) is a rare disorder characterized by pachydermia, digital clubbing, periostitis, and an excess of affected males. It is the primary form of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) and there are some rare associations of PDP with other disorders. Here we describe a patient with Crohn's disease associated with PDP. A 26-year-old man, who was a known case of Crohn's disease,...

A shift in consumer electronics from analog to digital technology is underway, and the television industry is transitioning from CRT to flat panel display (FPD) technology. With the increasing popularity of FPDs, the market for plasma display panels (PDPs) has also grown rapidly. The FPD market is divided according to screen size: sizes of 30 inches and smaller use liquid crystal display (LCD) ...

This paper studies an evolutionary algorithm to solve a new multiobjective optimization problem, the Pickup and Delivery Problem with Time Windows and Demands (PDPTW-D), which extends PDP and PDP-TW. With respect to multiple optimization objectives, PDP-TW-D is to find a set of Pareto-optimal routes for a fleet of vehicles in order to serve given transportation requests. The proposed algorithm ...

Data Storage outsourcing in cloud computing is a rising trend which prompts a number of interesting security issues. Provable data possession (PDP) is a method for ensuring the integrity of data in storage outsourcing. Remote integrity checking is crucial in cloud storage, here using multi cloud. It can help the clients to check their whole outsourced data by without downloading. This research ...

Provable Data Possession (PDP) enables cloud users to verify the integrity of their outsourced data without retrieving the entire file from cloud servers. At present, to execute data checking, many PDP schemes is delegated to some proxy to implement remote data possession checking task. Because the proxy may store some state information in cloud storage servers, it makes that many PDP scheme ar...

INTRODUCTION Permanent dislocation of the patella (PDP) is a rare condition. In cases of PDP with tibiofemoral arthritis, total knee arthroplasty may be performed through a medial parapatellar approach with patellar realignment. In this article we present two cases of PDP with tibiofemoral osteoarthritis successfully treated via lateral approach TKA without any additional realignment procedure....

Woollams, Lambon Ralph, Plaut, and Patterson reported detailed data on reading in 51 cases of semantic dementia. They simulated some aspects of these data using a connectionist parallel distributed processing (PDP) triangle model of reading. We argue here that a different model of reading, the dual route cascaded (DRC) model of Coltheart, Rastle, Perry, Langdon, and Ziegler (2001), not only pro...

In the Pickup and Delivery Problem (PDP) a fleet of vehicles must serve customers requests which consist of transporting objects from their origins to their destinations. We introduce the PDP with Fixed Partial Routes (PDP-FPR), in which some partial routes are given, and the problem consists in obtaining a solution (a set of routes) which include those partial routes. We have analyzed the comp...
