Cryptographic Treatment of CryptDB's Adjustable Join
(2012-03-25)
In this document, we provide a cryptographic treatment of the adjustable join protocol from CryptDB. We also discuss how our scheme could be used outside of CryptDB because it provides a simple functionality that may be ...
Preliminary MEG decoding results
(2012-04-20)
Decoding analysis has been applied to electrophysiology and fMRI data to study the visual system, however, this method has only been applied to MEG visual data in a few instances. Here we use the Neural Decoding Toolbox ...
Robust, Goal-directed Plan Execution with Bounded Risk
(2012-02-02)
There is an increasing need for robust optimal plan execution for multi-agent systems in uncertain environments, while guaranteeing an acceptable probability of success. For ex- ample, a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles ...
Learning and recognition of hybrid manipulation tasks in variable environments using probabilistic flow tubes
(2012-08-23)
Robots can act as proxies for human operators in environments where a human operator is not present or cannot directly perform a task, such as in dangerous or remote situations. Teleoperation is a common interface for ...
Risk-minimizing program execution in robotic domains
(2012-02-02)
In this thesis, we argue that autonomous robots operating in hostile and uncertain environments can improve robustness by computing and reasoning explicitly about risk. Autonomous robots with a keen sensitivity to risk can ...
Energy-efficient Control of a Smart Grid with Sustainable Homes based on Distributing Risk
(2012-01-20)
The goal of this thesis is to develop a distributed control system for a smart grid with sustainable homes. A central challenge is how to enhance energy efficiency in the presence of uncertainty. A major source of uncertainty ...
Multiple functionally divergent and conserved copies of alpha tubulin in bdelloid rotifers
(2012-08-17)
AbstractBackgroundBdelloid rotifers are microscopic animals that have apparently survived without sex for millions of years and are able to survive desiccation at all life stages through a process called anhydrobiosis. ...
