    No full text
    Biography of Lin Wen Zhong Gong has another way to call, that is Judge Lin. The leading character is Lin Ze-Xu. This book is based on functionary experience of Lin Ze-Xu, with the captivating plots of court case, helping by highly skilled military attach\uc3\ua9s and chivalrous knights, and the history facts of Opium War. It makes Lin Ze-Xu\ue2s Confucian temperament and tragic mood more, also contrasts with author\ue2s sorrow and furiousness for the politics at the time. History, court case, martial arts\ue2\ua6\ue2\ua6etc. are essence of this book and it broadens the way of this writing style. The topic of the thesis is \ue2An Analysis of Judge Lin\ue2. The following thesis will be divided into six different chapters. The introduction is Chapter one of the thesis, which is including researching motive and purpose, literature review of predecessors, researching version by existing information, raising questions, choosing research methods and arranging chapters. In chapter Two, I discuss the study of characters of Lin Ze-Xu, also makes a deep analysis of author\u27s purpose of writing him. In chapter Three, I analyze supporting actors and actress. Meanwhile, I illustrate author\u27s purpose of writing supporting actress because the author had different manner to describe supporting actress. Moving to the Chapter Four, I mainly focus on the plots of Judge Lin, and organize cases of Lin Ze-Xu and his subordinates to understand features of cases. In Chapter Five, I represent the causes of Opium War. China and England had difference of opinions of opium. Therefore, it is easier to comprehend what the author\u27s purpose is. In the last chapter I summarize the main points of the preceding chapters and confirm particularity of Judge Lin

    Constructing vertex-disjoint paths in (n,k)-star graphs

    [[abstract]]This work describes a novel routing algorithm for constructing a container of width n - 1 between a pair of vertices in an (n, k)-star graph with connectivity it - 1. Since Lin et al. [T.C. Lin, D.R. Duh, H.C. Cheng, Wide diameter of (n, k)-star networks, in: Proceedings of the International Conference on Computing, Communications and Control Technologies, vol. 5, 2004 pp. 160-165] already calculated the wide diameters in (n, n - 1)-star and (n, 1)-star graphs, this study only considers an (n, k)-star with 2 <= k <= n - 2. The length of the longest container among all constructed containers serves as the upper bound of the wide diameter of an (n, k)-star graph. The lower bound of the wide diameter of an (n, k)-star graph with 2 <= k <= [n/2] and the lower bound of the wide diameter of a regular graph with a connectivity of 2 or above are also computed. Measurement results indicate that the wide diameter of an (n, k)-star graph is its diameter plus 2 for 2 <= k <= [n/2], or its diameter plus a value between 1 and 2 for [n/2] + 1 <= k <= n - 2.

    Sample Efficient Search to Decision for kkLIN

    No full text
    The kkLIN problem concerns solving noisy systems of random sparse linear equations mod 2. It gives rise to natural candidate hard CSP distributions and is a cornerstone of local cryptography. Recently, it was used in advanced cryptographic constructions, under the name \u27sparse LPN\u27. For constant sparsity kk and inverse polynomial noise rate, both search and decision versions of kkLIN are statistically possible and conjectured to be computationally hard for nmnk/2n\ll m\ll n^{k/2}, where mm is the number of kk-sparse linear equations, and nn is the number of variables. We show an algorithm that given access to a distinguisher for (k1)(k-1)LIN with mm samples, solves search kkLIN with roughly O(nm)O(nm) samples. Previously, it was only known how to reduce from search kkLIN with O(m3)O(m^3) samples, yielding meaningful guarantees for decision kkLIN only when mnk/6m \ll n^{k/6}. The reduction succeeds even if the distinguisher has sub-constant advantage at a small additive cost in sample complexity. Our technique applies with some restrictions to Goldreich\u27s function and kkLIN with random coefficients over other finite fields

    Compact Adaptively Secure ABE from k-Lin: Beyond NC1 and towards NL

    No full text
    We present a new general framework for constructing compact and adaptively secure attribute-based encryption (ABE) schemes from kk-Lin in asymmetric bilinear pairing groups. Previously, the only construction [Kowalczyk and Wee, Eurocrypt \u2719] that simultaneously achieves compactness and adaptive security from static assumptions supports policies represented by Boolean formulae. Our framework enables supporting more expressive policies represented by arithmetic branching programs. Our framework extends to ABE for policies represented by uniform models of computation such as Turing machines. Such policies enjoy the feature of being applicable to attributes of arbitrary lengths. We obtain the first compact adaptively secure ABE for deterministic and non-deterministic finite automata (DFA and NFA) from kk-Lin, previously unknown from any static assumptions. Beyond finite automata, we obtain the first ABE for large classes of uniform computation, captured by deterministic and non-deterministic logspace Turing machines (the complexity classes L\mathsf{L} and NL\mathsf{NL}) based on kk-Lin. Our ABE scheme has compact secret keys of size linear in the description size of the Turing machine MM. The ciphertext size grows linearly in the input length, but also linearly in the time complexity, and exponentially in the space complexity. Irrespective of compactness, we stress that our scheme is the first that supports large classes of Turing machines based solely on standard assumptions. In comparison, previous ABE for general Turing machines all rely on strong primitives related to indistinguishability obfuscation

    Spatial Chow-Lin Methods for Data Completion in Econometric Flow Models

    No full text
    Flow data across regions can be modeled by spatial econometric models, see LeSage and Pace (2009). Recently, regional studies became interested in the aggregation and disaggregation of flow models, because trade data cannot be obtained at a disaggregated level but data are published on an aggregate level. Furthermore, missing data in disaggregated flow models occur quite often since detailed measurements are often not possible at all observation points in time and space. In this paper we develop classical and Bayesian methods to complete flow data. The Chow and Lin (1971) method was developed for completing disaggregated incomplete time series data. We will extend this method in a general framework to spatially correlated flow data using the cross-sectional Chow-Lin method of Polasek et al. (2009). The missing disaggregated data can be obtained either by feasible GLS prediction or by a Bayesian (posterior) predictive density.Missing values in spatial econometrics, MCMC, non-spatial Chow-Lin (CL) and spatial Chow-Lin (SCL) methods, spatial internal flow (SIF) models, origin and destination (OD) data

    No full text
    In this thesis we generalize a theorem of W. H. Lin. Lin's results are concerned with the homotopy and cohomotopy of an inverse system of spectra {P-k }. Using the quadratic construction we construct an inverse system of spectra {P-k(E)} We generalize Lin's results by studying the homotopy and cohomotopy of {P-k(E)}

    Citation: Jin, C., Hong, K. H., & Lin, C. D. (2016). Optimal generation of spatially coherent soft X-ray isolated attosecond pulses in a gas-filled waveguide using two-color synthesized laser pulses. Scientific Reports, 6, 11. doi:10.1038/srep38165We numerically demonstrate the generation of intense, low-divergence soft X-ray isolated attosecond pulses in a gas-filled hollow waveguide using synthesized few-cycle two-color laser waveforms. The waveform is a superposition of a fundamental and its second harmonic optimized such that highest harmonic yields are emitted from each atom. We then optimize the gas pressure and the length and radius of the waveguide such that bright coherent high-order harmonics with angular divergence smaller than 1 mrad are generated, for photon energy from the extreme ultraviolet to soft X-rays. By selecting a proper spectral range enhanced isolated attosecond pulses are generated. We study how dynamic phase matching caused by the interplay among waveguide mode, neutral atomic dispersion, and plasma effect is achieved at the optimal macroscopic conditions, by performing time-frequency analysis and by analyzing the evolution of the driving laser's electric field during the propagation. Our results, when combined with the on-going push of high-repetition-rate lasers (sub- to few MHz's) may eventually lead to the generation of high-flux, low-divergence soft X-ray tabletop isolated attosecond pulses for applications
