Four studies demonstrated robust withinand between-subject differences in willingness-to-pay (WTP) and willingness-to-accept (WTA) measures of the value of lottery tickets. Buyers and sellers attended to different numerical cues and interpreted the same numbers differently when setting these two kinds of monetary values. Affective infiuences appeared to guide the valuation process. Buyers with ...

We show how to compute an existential forgery after querying 4 signatures on chosen messages for a signature scheme presented at Asiacrypt 2014.

A watermarking scheme for a public-key cryptographic functionality enables the embedding of a mark in the instance of the secret-key algorithm such that the functionality of the original scheme is maintained, while it is infeasible for an adversary to remove the mark (unremovability) or mark a fresh object without the marking key (unforgeability). Cohen et al. [STOC’16] has provided constructio...

In the transportation sector, Smart Ticket Machines (STMs) have arisen as automated ticketing options that provide ease and effectiveness for both users operators. The research articles on smart ticket machines analysed in this review of literature are synthesised, including topics like user acceptability, implementation case studies, technology, security, accessibility, data analytics, interac...

This paper presents results from an impact analysis of the Ticket to Work (TTW) program, as implemented by the Social Security Administration (SSA) from 2002 through 2007. For new, young Social Security Disability beneficiaries, we use exogenous variation in the month of Ticket mailing to rigorously estimate impacts of TTW on beneficiary outcomes over a 48-month period following the start of Ti...

Yeast histidine tRNA guanylyltransferase (TGT) catalyzes in the presence of ATP the addition of GTP to the 5‘ end of eukaryotic cytoplasmic tRNAHi” species. A study of the enzyme mechanism with purified protein showed that during the first step ATP is cleaved to AMP and PPi creating adenylylated TGT. In a second step the activated enzyme forms a stable complex with its cognate tRNA substrate. T...

U.S. airlines achieved a startling turnaround in 2009. Profits rose to $2.3 billion after a loss of $3.3 billion the year before. Also during 2009, the airlines collected $2.7 billion in baggage fees (U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics 2010). In other words, by charging separately for a service once associated with the price of a ticket, the airlines turned a potential loss into a profit....
