Design models of secret reconstruction towards rational users by Hai LIU, Youliang TIAN, Ying TANG, Jianbing Ni, Jianfeng MA

“…Rational Secret Reconstruction is an intersection between traditional secret reconstruction and game theory, which aims to restrict the selfish behaviors of rational users, making both of them obtain the secret in real applications.However, when directly adopting the existing rational secret reconstruction protocols, it is infeasible to realize the fair secret reconstruction.More seriously, an extreme situation may rise, which is some users regard a fake secret as the real one.The crucial reason is that, due to lack of design models, the protocol designers cannot completely consider their selfish behaviors when rational users participate in secret reconstruction.To solve that problem, through the formalizations of rational users and rational secret reconstruction game, the influences of rational users’ action order and their chosen strategies about the fair secret reconstruction were analyzed, and then, three design models for the different scenarios, including purely user rational scenario, reputation-based scenario and trusted user-based scenario, were proposed respectively.Theoretical analysis demonstrates that, the proposed models can help the designers restrict rational users’ selfishness effectively, thereby guiding the designers to devise the fair rational secret reconstruction protocols.Additionally, under the guidance of the proposed models, a fair rational secret reconstruction protocol was devised, which indicated that the proposed models were usable.…”

Analytical Methods to Characterize and Purify Polymeric Nanoparticles by Cristina Fornaguera, Conxita Solans

“…Currently available literature of this last group only describes methodologies applied for a specific type of nanomaterial or even methods used for bulk materials, which are not completely applicable to nanomaterials. For this reason, the current review aims to become a scholastic guide for those scientists starting in the nanoworld, giving them a description of analytical characterization techniques aimed to analyze polymers forming nanoparticles and possible forms to purify them before being used in preclinical and clinical applications.…”

Developing and validating a scale for non-academic staff’s service competencies in higher education by Phan Thi Nga, Amjad Shamim, Rohani Salleh

“…Though scholars have given significant attention to research on service quality in higher education, there is limited research exploring the contribution of non-academic staff to enhancing service quality at higher education institutions. One reason for the lack of empirical research on this topic is the absence of a measurement scale for the service competencies of non-academic staff (NONACA-SERCOM) in higher education institutions. …”

A Strength Design Method of Cemented Backfill with a High Aspect Ratio by Zhi-zhihui Wang, Ai-xiang Wu, Hong-jiang Wang

“…As for the backfill with a high aspect ratio of height to length, the shape of the slip surface is not straight when in the active state due to the limited space, which is different from the general backfill. For this reason, a formulation of the slip surface with a curved shape and a lateral pressure calculation method based on this curved slip surface were proposed. …”

La représentation paradoxale du chemin de fer chez Dickens : fantastique et mythe au service d’une peinture de la modernité dans Dombey and Son (1848) et « No. 1 Branch Line. The S... by Françoise Dupeyron-Lafay

“…But what appears more surprising and paradoxical is the use of archaic elements, such as myth, and teratological images—as in Dombey and Son—to depict modernity. The reason may lie in the fact that trains or factories, belching fumes and staining everything about them, were seen as dangerous, all-powerful, voracious monsters and that writers were powerless in front of such disturbing, unprecedented phenomena and had to fall back on familiar, reassuring narrative techniques to come to terms with them. …”

Le développement durable face à sa crise : un concept menacé, sous-exploité ou dépassé ? by Jacques Theys

“…One possible explanation for this fading is that “sustainable development” has been deeply embedded in the context of the globalisation process which began at the end of the eighties and ended with the economic crisis in 2008. Another possible reason is the overuse – and misuse- which has been done of this badly defined notion during the last twenty years- with a weak efficiency: the ambiguity – which has strongly contributed to its historical success-, turns now to be a factor of distrust. …”
