A problem to make a graph strongly connected is one of the most fundamental problems in graph theory. The known parallel algorithm[1] solves this problem in O(log n) time using O(n3) processors on a CRCW PRAM model. I...

A quasi-secure quantum dialogue protocol using single photons was proposed. Different from the previous entanglement-based protocols, the present protocol uses batches of single photons which run back and forth between the two parties. A round run for each photon makes the two parties each obtain a classical bit of information. So the efficiency of information transmission can be increased. The present scheme is practical and well within the present-day technology.
In this paper, we propose a stochastic representation of a sung melodic contour, called stochastic phase representation (SPR), which can characterize both musical-note information and the dynamics of singing behaviors...

Sixty-two years after the first photos of earth taken by a camera aboard a V-2 rocket in October, 1946, and forty-eight years since the first CORONA satellite images were captured, the status of remote sensing research and applications within the African continent has made dramatic progress. Many African countries now have remote sensing research centers, within government agencies, research institutes and universities. Some countries in Africa currently have earth observing and/or telecommunications satellites in orbit and/or have such assets in various planning stages. The authors document such progress, in addition to the constraints to further applications of remote sensing for sustainable development in Africa, with special reference to data distribution constraints. Moreover, the authors address the urgency for bandwidth improvements within the African continent, so as to enable sustainable development initiatives to benefit from advances in high performance computing, required for ab initio near-real-time analysis of satellite-data. Such capabilities, it is argued, are propaedeutic for time-critical initiatives, such as vulnerability assessment, disaster preparedness and mitigation, emergency response, humanitarian assistance and post-calamity reconstruction, associated with a wide array of biogenic and anthropogenic disasters. Case studies of advances in infrastructure for satellite remote sensing and high performance computing, with implications for sustainable development in Africa, are provided from Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa.
The natural neighbour interpolation is a potential interpolation method for multidimensional data. However, only globally C1 interpolants have been known so far. In this paper we propose a globally C2 interpolant, and...

We present a method to compute global reputation values of peers in P2P based on the transaction between peers in the past. The traditional reputation model can hardly solve the collusion between Evil Peers. In this p...
