Specificity and definiteness in sentence and discourse structure
No full textIn this paper, I argue that this informally given list of characteristics covers only a certain subclass of specific indefinites. […] In particular, I dispute the definition of specific indefinites as "the speaker has the referent in mind" as rather confusing if one is working with a semantic theory. Furthermore, I discuss "relative specificity", it. cases in which the specific indefinite does not exhibit wide, but intermediate or narrow scope behavior. Based on such data, I argue that specificity expresses a referential dependency between introduced discourse items. Informally speaking, the specificity of the indefinite expression something [...] expresses that the reference of the expression depends on the reference of another expression, here, on the expression a monk, not the speaker

The majority of cases and deaths occurred in the WHO (World Health Organization) African Region. A study in our region found that, out of 263,476 individuals, 148,734 had P. falciparum, 106,946 had P. vivax, and 7,796 had mixed infections. The prevalence of P. falciparum (Plasmodium falciparum) was 8.97% and P. vivax (Plasmodium Vivax) was 7.94%. Although there have been a few reported cases of cerebral malaria caused by P. vivax, there is currently no comprehensive analysis of such cases. All the cases that have been reported so far involved individuals living in malaria-endemic areas, who presented with symptoms characteristic of cerebral malaria. Cerebral malaria was diagnosed based on the clinical algorithm which WHO used except we used P. vivax instead of P. falciparum The diagnosis of these cases was confirmed through thin blood film examination and Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs). Therefore, this report aims to provide additional data on the occurrence of P. vivax as a cause of cerebral malaria. It also recommends further studies to reassess the current clinical case definition of cerebral malaria mainly in endemic areas as it affects patient treatment outcome.Keywords: cerebral malaria, P. Vivax and Blood Fil
Factorization of the two loop four-particle amplitude in superstring theory revisited
No full textWe study in detail the factorization of the newly obtained two-loop four-particle amplitude in superstring theory. In particular some missing factors from the scalar correlators are obtained correctly, in comparing with a previous study of the factorization in two-loop superstring theory. Some details for the calculation of the factorization of the kinematic factor are also presented.Physics, Particles & FieldsSCI(E)0ARTICLE6nul

Cryptanalysis of two password-authenticated key exchange protocols
No full textPassword-Authenticated Key Exchange (PAKE) protocols enable two or more parties to use human-memorable passwords for authentication and key exchange. Since the human-memorable passwords are vulnerable to off-line dictionary attacks, PAKE protocols should be very carefully designed to resist dictionary attacks. However, designing PAKE protocols against dictionary attacks proved to be quite tricky. In this paper, we analyze two PAKE protocols and show that they are subject to dictionary attacks. The analyzed protocols are EPA which was proposed in ACISP 2003 and AMP which is a contribution for P1363. Our attack is based on the small factors of the order of a large group Z(p)(*) (i.e., the DLP of subgroup attack), by which the secret password can be fully discovered. We intend to emphasize that our attack is valid since the protocols neither select secure parameter p nor check the order of received values for achieving good efficiency.Computer Science, Information SystemsComputer Science, Theory & MethodsSCI(E)CPCI-S(ISTP)
