The existence of a Kodaira fibration, i.e., of a fibration of a compact complex surface S onto a complex curve B which is a differentiable but not a holomorphic bundle, forces the geographical slope ν(S) = c 1 (S)/c2(S) to lie in the interval (2, 3). But up to now all the known examples had slope ν(S) ≤ 2 + 1/3. In this paper we consider a special class of surfaces admitting two such Kodaira fi...

HB and HB+ are a shared secret-key authentication protocols designed for low-cost devices such as RFID tags. HB+ was proposed by Juels and Weis at Crypto 2005. The security of the protocols relies on the learning parity with noise (LPN) problem, which was proven to be NP-hard. The best known attack on LPN by Levieil and Fouque [13] requires subexponential number of samples and sub-exponential n...

Resumo Em Visão Computacional e Processamento de Imagens, uma das técnicas bastante utilizadas para realizar a decomposição de uma imagem em diferentes ńıveis de resolução consiste na criação de uma pirâmide de imagens. Neste trabalho é apresentada a teoria de pirâmides, acompanhada por diversos exemplos de decomposições piramidais e suas propriedades. Algumas aplicações que utilizam estruturas...

We describe haematological and DNA characterization of haemoglobinopathies in Thai adolescents caused by compound heterozygosities for Hb E [beta26(B8) Glu-Lys] and two other beta-globin chain variants, Hb Pyrgos [beta83(EF7) Gly-Asp] and Hb J Bangkok [beta56(D7) Gly-Asp]. Hb analysis demonstrated that although these two beta-chain variants have separated elution profiles on liquid chromatograp...
