PRODUCTIVITY AND RESOURCE USE EFFICIENCY AMONG BENEFICIARIES OF E - WALLET INPUT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM COMPONENT OF GROWTH ENHANCEMENT SUPPORT SCHEME (GESS) IN ADAMAWA STATE, NIGERIA by Dengle Yuniyus GIROH, Apagu Dawa MEDUGU, Dauna YAKUBU

“…Result of the socio-economic analysis revealed that respondents were small scale farmers who were young with mean family size of five people and with mean experience of 7 years. Production function analysis showed that the Cobb-Douglas functional form was selected as the lead equation and showed that the coefficient of multiple determination (R2) of 0.7781 implied that about 77.81% of the variations in total output of respondents were explained by production factors included in the model. …”

A METHOD FOR INVESTIGATING MACHINE LEARNING ATTACKS ON ARBITER-TYPE PHYSICALLY UNCLONABLE FUNCTIONS by Yuri A. Korotaev

“…This approach allows for a preliminary evaluation of the effectiveness of different algorithms for attacking APUFs without access to challenge-response datasets from real instances of physically unclonable functions. Attacks were conducted on models of basic and modified variants of APUFs from the open-source library "pypuf", using classical logistic regression and artificial neural networks (ANNs). …”
