The conventional cryptography solutions are ill-suited to strict memory, size and power limitations of resource-constrained devices, so lightweight cryptography solutions have been specifically developed for this type of applications. In this domain
Electronic Health Records are electronic data generated during or as a byproduct of routine patient care. Structured, semi-structured and unstructured EHR offer researchers unprecedented phenotypic breadth and depth and have the potential to accelera
For an offer of the same course for thousands of students, for face-to-face or distance learning, some uniformities must be adopted to allow a comparison of performance in the teaching-learning processes. The Evaluation Unified Process (EUP) was desi
We present new viscosity measurements of a synthetic silicate system considered an analogue for the lava erupted on the surface of Mercury. In particular, we focus on the northern volcanic plains (NVP), which correspond to the largest lava flows on M
Although personalized recommendation has been investigated for decades, the wide adoption of Latent Factor Models (LFM) has made the explainability of recommendations a critical issue to both the research community and practical application of recomm
Economic growth and the growth of human population in the past 2,000,000 years are extensively examined. Data are found to be in a clear contradiction of the currently accepted explanations of the mechanism of growth, which revolve around two fundame
Piebaldism usually manifests as white areas of fur, hair or skin due to the absence of pigment-producing cells in those regions. The distribution of the white and colored zones does not follow the classical Turing patterns. Here we present a modeling
In the context of software startups, project failure is embraced actively and considered crucial to obtain validated learning that can lead to pivots. A pivot is the strategic change of a business concept, product or the different elements of a busin
Neural network force field (NNFF) is a method for performing regression on atomic structure-force relationships, bypassing expensive quantum mechanics calculation which prevents the execution of long ab-initio quality molecular dynamics simulations.
We have developed an algorithm that, starting from the observed properties of the X-ray spectrum and fast variability of an X-ray binary allows the production of synthetic data reproducing observables such as power density spectra and time lags, as w
Ineffective software team composition has become recognized as a prominent aspect of software project failures. Reports from results extracted from different theoretical personality models have produced contradicting fits, validity challenges, and mi
This paper presents Finger Based Technique (FBT) prototypes, a novel interaction system for blind users, which is especially designed and developed for non-visual touch screen devices and their applications. The FBT prototypes were developed with vir
The Lefschetz fixed point theorem follows easily from the identification of the Lefschetz number with the fixed point index. This identification is a consequence of the functoriality of the trace in symmetric monoidal categories. There are refinement
