Tor: The secondgeneration onion router,”

by Roger Dingledine - in 13th USENIX Security Symposium. Usenix, , 2004
"... Abstract We present Tor, a circuit-based low-latency anonymous communication service. This second-generation Onion Routing system addresses limitations in the original design by adding perfect forward secrecy, congestion control, directory servers, integrity checking, configurable exit policies, an ..."

, and efficiency. We briefly describe our experiences with an international network of more than 30 nodes. We close with a list of open problems in anonymous communication. Overview Onion Routing is a distributed overlay network designed to anonymize TCP-based applications like web browsing, secure shell

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

Alter-ation in the expression of HLA-G molecules, T-helper-1 (Th-1) pattern of cytokines and natural killer (NK) cells activity may also induce abortion. Various forms of treatment like antithrombotic

A principal-components analysis of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory and further evidence of its construct validity.

"... We examined the internal and external validity of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI). Study 1 explored the internal structure of the NPI responses of 1,018 subjects. Using principal-components analysis, we analyzed the tetrachoric correlations among the NPI item responses and found eviden ..."

How much can we boost IQ and scholastic achievement

by Arthur R. Jensen - Harvard Educational Review , 1969
"... Arthur Jensen argues that the failure of recent compensatory education efforts to produce lasting effects on children's IQ and achievement suggests that the premises on which these efforts have been based should be reexamined. He begins by questioning a central notion upon which these and other ..."

Rogue Decryption Failures: Reconciling AE Robustness Notions

by Guy Barwell, Martijn Stam
"... Abstract. An authenticated encryption scheme is deemed secure (AE) if ciphertexts both look like random bitstrings and are unforgeable. AE is a much stronger notion than the traditional IND–CCA. One shortcom-ing of AE as commonly understood is its idealized, all-or-nothing de-cryption: if decryption ..."

Cycle-Oriented Distributed Preconfiguration: Ring-Like Speed with . . .

by Wayne D. Grover, Senior Member Ieee, Demetrios Stamatelakis, Member Ieee , 1998
"... : Cycle-oriented preconfiguration of spare capacity is a new idea for the design and operation of mesh-restorable networks. It offers a sought-after goal: to retain the capacityefficiency of a mesh-restorable network, while approaching the speed of line-switched self-healing rings. We show that thro ..."

Although spares are connected into cycles, the method is different than self-healing rings because each preconfigured cycle contributes to the restoration of more failure scenarios than can a ring. Additionally, two restoration paths may be obtained from each pre-formed cycle, whereas a ring

Inequality among World Citizens: 1820 1992

by Francois Bourguignon, Christian Morrisson , 2003

In conventional theories a governing faculty like the ego evaluates future choices consistently over time, discounting their value for delay exponentially, that is, by a constant rate; impulses arise when

Depression and preference for self-focusing stimuli after success and failure

by Tom Pyszczynski, Jeff Greenberg - Journal of Personality and Social Psychology , 1985
"... Depressed individuals, who tend to have large perceived-self/ideal-self discrepancies, have been shown to be particularly high in private self-consciousness. On the bases of this finding and of several converging theoretical perspectives, we hypothesized that depressives, unlike nondepressives, do n ..."
