Mu et al. have proposed an electronic voting protocol and claimed that it protects anonymity of voters, detects double voting and authenticates eligible voters. It has been shown that it does not protect voter's privacy and prevent double voting. After that, several schemes have been presented to fulfill these properties. However, many of them suffer from the same weaknesses. In this p...

based on a meta-theoretical analysis of voting, the present paper is an attempt to present a theoretical model encompassing all the possible aspects of voting in an election action system, proposing four sub-systems of voting as follows: economic voting, political voting, cultural voting and moral voting. having distinguished among these sub-systems, the writer describes the constitutive elemen...

The perceptibility of a safety system is defined as the extent to which the system can be perceived by the senses or the mind. A web-based, pairwise comparison survey, was conducted to evaluate the perceptibility of fifteen safety systems ranging from traffic safety systems to consumer safety. The analytic hierarchy process was applied to estimate the perceptibility levels and rank the safety s...

Current majority voting mechanism usually used in intrusion tolerant system have some limits. To solve this problem, a novel adaptive probability voting mechanism based on double threshold values is proposed. The intrusion tolerance system based on this voting mechanism can provide correct and reliable services continually in case of existing fault or intrusion and detect the faulty server repl...

Making use of linguistic profiling and race of interviewer research, this study examines the extent to which respondents in national surveys can accurately guess their interviewer’s race when asked by the interviewer. The concept of interest in this study is perceptibility: whether or not respondents guess accurately. In the analyses, I statistically control for interviewer and respondent race,...

In this paper, we address the ability of a computer vision system to perceive the motion of an object (possibly a robot manipulator) in its field of view. We derive a quantitative measure of motion perceptibility, which relates the magnitude of the rate of change in an object’s position to the magnitude of the rate of change in the image of that object. We then show how motion perceptibility ca...

This study aimed to set evaluation indicators, i.e., perceptibility and acceptability color difference thresholds, of color stability for acrylic denture base resins for a spectrophotometric assessing method, which offered an alternative to the visual method described in ISO 20795-1:2013. A total of 291 disk specimens 50±1 mm in diameter and 0.5±0.1 mm thick were prepared (ISO 20795-1:2013) and...
