Most of the decision procedures for symbolic analysis of protocols are limited to a fixed set of algebraic operators associated with a fixed intruder theory. Examples of such sets of operators comprise XOR, multiplication/exponentiation, abstract encryption/decryption. In this report we give an algorithm for combining decision procedures for arbitrary intruder theories with disjoint sets of ope...

The problem of finding a mediator to compose secured services has been reduced in our former work to the problem of solving deducibility constraints similar to those employed for cryptographic protocol analysis. We extend in this paper the mediator synthesis procedure by a construction for expressing that some data is not accessible to the mediator. Then we give a decision procedure for verifyi...

The abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) is a clinical tool used for identifying preferential activity of deep muscles. However, concurrent validity and reproducibility palpation during the ADIM has not been formally investigated. aims this study were (1) to assess intra- interrater reliability manual ADIM, (2) determine by calculating activation ratio cut-off as assessed with ultrasound imagin...

Noncentrosymmetric (NCS) tetrel pnictides have recently generated interest as nonlinear optical (NLO) materials due to their second harmonic generation (SHG) activity and large laser damage threshold (LDT). Herein nonmetal-rich silicon phosphides RuSi4P4 IrSi3P3 are synthesized characterized. Their crystal structures reinvestigated using single X-ray diffraction 29Si 31P magic angle spinning NM...

Due to the large size and complex structure of modern networks, firewall policies can contain several thousand rules. The size and complexity of these policies require automated tools providing a user-friendly environment to specify, configure and safely deploy a target policy. Much research has already addressed policy specification, conflict detection, and optimization but very little researc...

Distributed Collaborative Editors (DCE) provide computer support for modifying simultaneously shared documents, such as articles, wiki pages and programming source code, by dispersed users. Controlling access in such systems is still a challenging problem, as they need dynamic access changes and low latency access to shared documents. In this paper, we propose a Mandatory Access Control (MAC) b...

STUDY DESIGN A single-blinded, pretreatment-posttreatment assessment. OBJECTIVES To investigate, using ultrasound imaging, the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the lumbar multifidus muscle at 4 vertebral levels (L2, L3, L4, L5) in elite cricketers with and without low back pain (LBP) and (2) to document the effect of a staged stabilization training program on multifidus muscle CSA.
