Improvements On An Authentication Scheme For Vehicular Sensor Networks, Joseph K. Liu, Tsz Hon Yuen, Man Ho Au, Willy Susilo
Improvements On An Authentication Scheme For Vehicular Sensor Networks, Joseph K. Liu, Tsz Hon Yuen, Man Ho Au, Willy Susilo
Professor Willy Susilo
In a recent paper, Shim (2012) presented a very interesting authentication scheme for vehicular sensor networks. Shim claimed that the scheme is secure against the highest adopted level of attack, namely the chosen-message attack (CID-CMA). Nevertheless, we find that the proof in Shim's paper does not actually prove that the scheme is secure in this level. Instead, it can only ensure that the scheme is secure in a strictly weaker level of attack, the adaptive chosen-identity and no-message attack (CID-NMA). In this paper, first we show that there exist some security risks in vehicular networks if a scheme, which is …

LUPIN-II is an upgraded version of LUPIN, a novel rem counter first developed in 2010 specifically conceived to work in pulsed neutron fields (PNFs). The new version introduces some modifications that improve the performance of the detector, in particular extending its upper detection limit in PNFs. This paper discusses the characteristics and the performance of the instrument. Measurements have been carried out in radiation fields characterized by very different conditions: the detector has first been exposed in PNFs with intensity up to 5 μSv per burst, where it could keep the H*(10) underestimation below 20% up to 500 nSv per …
Improvements In Dose Calculation Accuracy For Small Off-Axis Targets In High Dose Per Fraction Tomotherapy, Nicholas Hardcastle, Adam Bayliss, Jeannie Wong, Anatoly B. Rosenfeld, Wolfgang A. Tome
Improvements In Dose Calculation Accuracy For Small Off-Axis Targets In High Dose Per Fraction Tomotherapy, Nicholas Hardcastle, Adam Bayliss, Jeannie Wong, Anatoly B. Rosenfeld, Wolfgang A. Tome
Anatoly Rozenfeld
Purpose: A recent field safety notice from TomoTherapy detailed the underdosing of small, off-axis targets when receiving high doses per fraction. This is due to angular undersampling in the dose calculation gantry angles. This study evaluates a correction method to reduce the underdosing, to be implemented in the current version (v4.1) of the TomoTherapy treatment planning software. Methods: The correction method, termed "Super Sampling" involved the tripling of the number of gantry angles from which the dose is calculated during optimization and dose calculation. Radiochromic film was used to measure the dose to small targets at various off-axis distances receiving …

Some Improvements To Turner's Algorithm For Bracket Abstraction, Martin W. Bunder
Some Improvements To Turner's Algorithm For Bracket Abstraction, Martin W. Bunder
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
A computer handles A-terms more easily if these are translated into combinatory terms. This translation process is called bracket abstraction. The simplest abstraction algorithm-the (fab) algorithm of Curry (see Curry and Feys [6])-is lengthy to implement and produces combinatory terms that increase rapidly in length as the number of variables to be abstracted increases.
