The RSA Conference, with over 15,000 attendees and 300 exhibitors, is the largest computer security event of the year. The Cryptographers’ Track (CT- RSA) is a research conference within the RSA Conference. Starting in 2001, CT-RSA continues to its seventh year and is now regarded as one of the major regularly staged event for presenting the results of cryptographic research to a wide variety of audiences. The proceedings of CT-RSA 2007 contain 25 papers selected from 73 s- missions which cover all the topics of cryptography. All the submissions were reviewed by at least three reviewers, which was possible by the hard work of 23 Program Committee members and many external reviewers listed in the foll- ing pages. The papers were selected as a result of conscientious discussion. The program includes two invited talks, by Michel Rabin and Andrew Odlyzko. I would like to express my gratitude to the Program Committee members, whowereenthusiasticfromtheverybeginningofthis completedproject.Thanks also to the external reviewers including those who completed urgent reviews during the discussion phase. Special thanks to Shai Halevi for providing and maintaining the Web review system. Finally, I would like to thank Burt Kaliski of RSA Laboratories and the Steering Committee for their suggestions and c- tinuous assistance.

The classic isoperimetric problem has fascinated mathematicians of all eras, starting from the ancient Greeks, due to its simple statement: what are the sets of a given volume with minimal perimeter? The problem is mathematically well understood, and it plays a crucial role in explaining physical phenomena such as soap bubble shapes.

Free Download Lectures on Advanced Topics in Categorical Data Analysis
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031558545 | 385 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 18 MB
This book continues the mission of the previous text by the author, Lectures on Categorical Data Analysis, by expanding on the introductory concepts from that volume and providing a mathematically rigorous presentation of advanced topics and current research in statistical techniques which can be applied in the social, political, behavioral, and life sciences. It presents an intuitive and unified discussion of an array of themes in categorical data analysis, and the emphasis on structure over stochastics renders many of the methods applicable in machine learning environments and for the analysis of big data.

Free Download Advanced Topics in Exception Handling Techniques By Peter A. Buhr, Roy Krischer (auth.), Christophe Dony, Jørgen Lindskov Knudsen, Alexander Romanovsky, Anand Tripathi (eds.)
2006 | 301 Pages | ISBN: 3540374434 | PDF | 3 MB
Modern software systems are becoming more complex in many ways and are having to cope with a growing number of abnormal situations which, in turn, are increasingly complex to handle. Exception handling is an essential part of software and system architectures and a crucial element in the tool-set that enables the building of resilient, robust and safe software systems. Two ECOOP workshops on exception handling were held in 2003 and 2005. This book is primarily an outcome of these two events – several workshop participants as well as a number of other leading researchers in the field were invited to contribute a chapter each.This book is composed of five parts; the first four deal with topics related to exception handling in the context of programming languages, concurrency and operating systems, pervasive computing systems, and requirements and specifications. The last part focuses on case studies, experimentation and qualitative comparisons. The 16 coherently written chapters by leading researchers competently address a wide range of issues in exception handling.

Free Download Yuanlong Xin, "MINIMAL SUBMANIFOLDS AND RELATED TOPICS "
English | ISBN: 9812386874 | 2003 | 272 pages | PDF | 6 MB
The Bernstein problem and the Plateau problem are central topics in the theory of minimal submanifolds. This important book presents the Douglas-Rado solution to the Plateau problem, but the main emphasis is on the Bernstein problem and its new developments in various directions: the value distribution of the Gauss image of a minimal surface in Euclidean 3-space, Simons’ work for minimal graphic hypersurfaces, and author’s own contributions to Bernstein type theorems for higher codimension. The author also introduces some related topics, such as submanifolds with parallel mean curvature, Weierstrass type representation for surfaces of mean curvature 1 in hyperbolic 3-space, and special Lagrangian submanifolds.

Free Download Ph.D. Mohiyeddini, Changiz, "Contemporary Topics and Trends in the Psychology of Sports "
English | ISBN: 1628088117 | 2013 | 230 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Sports psychology is a relatively young discipline within psychology. Contemporary sports psychology is a fast growing and diverse field. Hence, the objectives of this timely, comprehensive, and authoritative volume is to bring together an eminent group of international experts to provide an overview of the most recent developments in the psychology of sports. This volume comprises nine chapters: The initial chapter provides the reader with the definitions, topics and trends within the psychology of sports. This chapter is followed by an overview on current research in sports officiating and decision-making. Chapter three provides an in-depth discussion of simple heuristics in sports. Chapter four and five are focused on the issues of transformational leadership and assessing leadership styles of coaches. Chapter six provides an insight into the socially and highly relevant topic of sport fans’ willingness to consider anonymous acts of aggression. Chapter seven recognises the significant impact of achievement motive in sports. Chapter eight and nine provide an insight in to the interface of sports psychology and psychopathology discussing eating disorders among male athletes as well as the types of coping strategies as predictors for the development of psychosomatic disorders among athletes after career termination. This book has been written in a style to attract the attention of scholars and students who hopefully consider it readable, enjoyable and informative.

Free Download David B. Malament, "Topics in the Foundations of General Relativity and Newtonian Gravitation Theory "
English | ISBN: 0226502457 | 2012 | 368 pages | PDF | 2 MB
In Topics in the Foundations of General Relativity and Newtonian Gravitation Theory, David B. Malament presents the basic logical-mathematical structure of general relativity and considers a number of special topics concerning the foundations of general relativity and its relation to Newtonian gravitation theory. These special topics include the geometrized formulation of Newtonian theory (also known as Newton-Cartan theory), the concept of rotation in general relativity, and Gödel spacetime. One of the highlights of the book is a no-go theorem that can be understood to show that there is no criterion of orbital rotation in general relativity that fully answers to our classical intuitions. Topics is intended for both students and researchers in mathematical physics and philosophy of science.
