Fuzzy vector signature (FVS) is a new primitive where a fuzzy (biometric) data w is used to generate a verification key (VKw), and, later, a distinct fuzzy (biometric) data w′ (as well as a message) is used to generate a signature (σw′). The primary feature of FVS is that the signature (σw′) can be verified under the verification key (VKw) only if w is close to w′ in a certain predefined distance. Recently, Seo et al. proposed an FVS scheme that was constructed (loosely) using a subset-based sampling method to reduce the size of helper data. However, their construction fails to provide the reusability property that requires that no adversary gains the information on fuzzy (biometric) data even if multiple verification keys and relevant signatures of a single user, which are all generated with correlated fuzzy (biometric) data, are exposed to the adversary. In this paper, we propose an improved FVS scheme which is proven to be reusable with respect to arbitrary correlated fuzzy (biometric) inputs. Our efficiency improvement is achieved by strictly applying the subset-based sampling method used before to build a fuzzy extractor by Canetti et al. and by slightly modifying the structure of the verification key. Our FVS scheme can still tolerate sub-linear error rates of input sources and also reduce the signing cost of a user by about half of the original FVS scheme. Finally, we present authentication protocols based on fuzzy extractor and FVS scheme and give performance comparison between them in terms of computation and transmission costs.

Transient Phenomenon

This paper addresses itself to the problem of inadequate attention often paid to transient and parasitic phenomena in modelling systems and highlights the pitfalls that result thereof. An example from electrical engineering curriculum illustrates the issues involved. Future authors are cautioned against ignoring the transient phenomenon.

Abstract. The origin of intraplate volcanism is not explained by the plate tectonic theory, and several models have been put forward for explanation. One of these models involves Edge-Driven Convection (EDC), in which cold and thick continental lithosphere is juxtaposed to warm and thin oceanic lithosphere to trigger convective instability. To test whether EDC can produce long-lived high-volume magmatism, we run numerical models of EDC for a wide range of mantle properties and edge (i.e., the oceanic-continental transition) geometries. We find that the most important parameters that govern EDC are the rheological paramaters mantle viscosity η0 and activation energy Ea. However, even the maximum melting volumes found in our models are insufficient to account for island-building volcanism on old seafloor, such as at the Canary Islands and Cape Verde. Also, beneath old seafloor, localized EDC-related melting commonly transitions into widespread melting due to small-scale sublithospheric convection, inconsistent with the distribution of volcanism at these volcanic chains. In turn, EDC is a good candidate to sustain the formation of small seamounts on young seafloor, as it is a highly transient phenomenon that occurs in all our models soon after initiation. In a companion paper, we investigate the implications of interaction of EDC with mantle-plume activity.

Abstract. The origin of intraplate volcanism is not explained by plate tectonic theory, and several models have been put forward for explanation. One of these models involves edge-driven convection (EDC), in which cold and thick continental lithosphere is juxtaposed with warm and thin oceanic lithosphere to trigger convective instability. To test whether EDC can produce long-lived high-volume magmatism, we run numerical models of EDC for a wide range of mantle properties and edge (i.e., the oceanic–continental transition) geometries. We find that the most important parameters that govern EDC are the rheological parameters mantle viscosity η0 and activation energy Ea. However, even the maximum melting volumes predicted by our most extreme cases are insufficient to account for island-building volcanism on old seafloor, such as at the Canary Islands and Cabo Verde. Also, beneath old seafloor, localized EDC-related melting commonly transitions into widespread melting due to small-scale sublithospheric convection, inconsistent with the distribution of volcanism at these volcano chains. In turn, EDC is a good candidate to sustain the formation of small seamounts on young seafloor, as it is a highly transient phenomenon that occurs in all our models soon after initiation. In a companion paper, we investigate the implications of interaction of EDC with mantle plume activity (Manjón-Cabeza Córdoba and Ballmer, 2021).

A kind of text classification method based on fuzzy vector space model and neural networks is proposed in the paper according to the problems that a text can be belongs to many types during the text classification. Fuzzy theory is adopted in the method to look the occurring position of feature items in text on as the important degree (membership) reflecting text subject, and fully considered the position information while the features are extracted, thus the fuzzy feature vectors are constructed, as a result, the text classification is close to the manual classification method. The established networks are constituted of input layer, hidden layer and output layer, the input layer completes the inputs of classification samples, hidden layer extracts the implicit pattern features of input samples, the output layer is used to output the classification results. Finally the effectiveness of this method is proved by some documents of Wan Fang data in experimental section. (Abstract)

Transient Phenomenon

The fronto-occipital circumference, fronto-occipital and biparietal diameters, degree of suture overriding, and weight were measured daily during the first week of life in 50 infants of birth weight under 2,000 gm. In a second similar group of 21 infants, fronto-occipital circumference, weight, and sodium balance were measured daily during the first week of life. Head volumes were estimated from the circumference and diameters of the head. The parameters of head size and derived volumes changed maximally and significantly in the direction of intracranial shrinkage around 3 days of age. The degree of shrinkage was significantly correlated (P < .005) with the degree of weight and cumulative sodium losses, and decreasing gestational age. We postulate that postnatal head shrinkage results from shift of sodium and water outward from the intracranial cavity as a transient phenomenon during the first week of life. The significance of head shrinkage is discussed.
