Oral storytelling is an effective way for engaging audiences in imaginary story worlds and has been used to create a sense of presence in non-real environments in audiences long before the advent of virtual reality (VR). We present techniques used by storytellers to create and maintain a sense of presence in story worlds and interact with audiences as observed in an ongoing ethnographic study o...

rhetorical figures, which are frequently applied in advertisements, can add literary flavor to the texts, gratify audiences’ aesthetic needs, and deepen their impression. in advertisement translation, it is very common that the rhetorical figures applied in the original text are replaced with new ones in the translation. this research focuses on rhetorical figures’ function of enhancing audienc...

Organizations constantly produce and consume organizational language, and these texts and documents are a primary way that organizations interact with their environment. In this paper we compare different types of texts to study variation in how organizations use them to interact with the environment. We argue that the authors of a text will primarily use rhetorical strategies that reflect the ...

New products and technologies, which are often underappreciated by mainstream audiences, represent potential opportunities for entrepreneurial audiences with contrarian perspectives. Yet little is known about what makes an audience good at rewarding the unfamiliar—and, indeed, whether this even matters. Even if audiences favor products with contrarian principles of value-creation, lack of prior...

The most important strategy to modify high risk behavior, to prevent traffic accident and decrease death is effective education. It is necessary to have systematic steps with scientific background to educate effectively. The health educator has essential role in every education program; therefore the first question to ask is who should educate? The next in an education for reduce traffic accide...

background: in megavoltage radiotherapy rooms, ordinary concrete is usually used due to its low construction costs, although higher density concrete are sometimes used, as well. the use of high-density concrete decreases the required thickness of the concrete barrier hence, its disadvantage is its high cost. in a nuclear reactor, neutron radiation is the most difficult to shield. a method for p...

Surfaces of carbon fibre roving were modified by means of a low temperature plasma treatment to improve their bonding with mineral fines; the latter serving as an inorganic fibre coating for the improved mechanical performance of carbon reinforcement in concrete matrices. Variation of the plasma conditions, such as gas composition and treatment time, was accomplished to establish polar groups o...

The paper gives an overview on the meta-data specification for administrating and enforcing enterprisewide security for heterogeneous and distributed information systems. The meta-data serves as a basis to maintain enterprise-wide security information centrally, to integrate isolated security specifications, to keep the consistency between different security policies, and to perform access cont...

This paper addresses the security of public-key cryptosystems in a \multi-user" setting, namely in the presence of attacks involving the encryption of related messages under di erent public keys, as exempli ed by H astad's classical attacks on RSA. We prove that security in the single-user setting implies security in the multi-user setting as long as the former is interpreted in the strong sens...

We identify a flaw in the security proof and a flaw in the concrete security analysis of the WOTS-PRF variant of the Winternitz one-time signature scheme, and discuss the implications to its concrete security.
