On the security of a class of diffusion mechanisms for image encryption
Leo Yu Zhang, Yuansheng Liu, Kwok-Wo Wong +4
The need for fast and strong image cryptosystems motivates researchers to develop new techniques to apply traditional cryptographic primitives in order to exploit the intrinsic fea…
On R-W1 as A Diagnostic to Discover Obscured Active Galactic Nuclei in Wide-Area X-ray Surveys
Stephanie M. LaMassa, Francesca Civano, Marcella Brusa +18
Capitalizing on the all-sky coverage of {\it WISE}, and the 35\% and 50\% sky coverage from SDSS and Pan-STARRS, respectively, we explore the efficacy of (optical) - $m_{3.…
Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors as flatness and mechanical stretching sensors
D. Abbaneo, M. Abbas, M. Abbrescia +153
A novel approach which uses Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors has been utilised to assess and monitor the flatness of Gaseous Electron Multipliers (GEM) foils. The setup layout and…
Towards Dynamic Updates in Service Composition
Mario Bravetti
We survey our results about verification of adaptable processes. We present adaptable processes as a way of overcoming the limitations that process calculi have for describing patt…
Forecasts on neutrino mass constraints from the redshift-space two-point correlation function
Fernanda Petracca, Federico Marulli, Lauro Moscardini +3
We provide constraints on the accuracy with which the neutrino mass fraction, , can be estimated when exploiting measurements of redshift-space distortions, describing in part…
The XXL survey XIV. AAOmega redshifts for the southern XXL field
C. Lidman, F. Ardila, M. Owers +15
We present a catalogue containing the redshifts of 3,660 X-ray selected targets in the XXL southern field. The redshifts were obtained with the AAOmega spectrograph and 2dF fibre p…
De Sitter from T-branes
Michele Cicoli, Fernando Quevedo, Roberto Valandro
Hidden sector D7-branes with non-zero gauge flux are a generic feature of type IIB compactifications. A non-vanishing Fayet-Iliopoulos term induced by non-zero gauge flux leads to…
The XXL Survey XI: ATCA 2.1 GHz continuum observations
Vernesa Smolcic, Jacinta Delhaize, Minh Huynh +16
We present 2.1 GHz imaging with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) of a 6.5 deg^2 region within the XXM-Newton XXL South field using a band of 1.1-3.1 GHz. We achieve an…
The XXL Survey: I. Scientific motivations - XMM-Newton observing plan - Follow-up observations and simulation programme
M. Pierre, F. Pacaud, C. Adami +89
We present the XXL Survey, the largest XMM programme totaling some 6.9 Ms to date and involving an international consortium of roughly 100 members. The XXL Survey covers two extrag…
Horizon Quantum Mechanics: a hitchhiker's guide to quantum black holes
R. Casadio, A. Giugno, O. Micu
It is congruous with the quantum nature of the world to view the space-time geometry as an emergent structure that shows classical features only at some observational level. One ca…
The Rationale behind the Concept of Goal
Guido Governatori, Francesco Olivieri, Simone Scannapieco +2
The paper proposes a fresh look at the concept of goal and advances that motivational attitudes like desire, goal and intention are just facets of the broader notion of (acceptable…
High-Sensitivity 86GHz (3.5mm) VLBI Observations of M87: Deep Imaging of the Jet Base at a 10 Schwarzschild-Radius Resolution
Kazuhiro Hada, Motoki Kino, Akihiro Doi +9
We report on results from new high-sensitivity, high-resolution 86GHz (3.5 millimeter) observations of the jet base in the nearby radio galaxy M87, obtained by the Very Long Baseli…
A multi-epoch spectroscopic study of the BAL quasar APM 08279+5255 II. Emission- and absorption-line variability time lags
F. G. Saturni, D. Trevese, F. Vagnetti +2
The study of high-redshift bright quasars is crucial to gather information about the history of galaxy assembly and evolution. Variability analyses can provide useful data on the p…
The Chandra COSMOS Legacy survey: optical/IR identifications
S. Marchesi, F. Civano, M. Elvis +27
We present the catalog of optical and infrared counterparts of the Chandra COSMOS-Legacy Survey, a 4.6 Ms Chandra program on the 2.2 square degrees of the COSMOS field, combination…
KAT-7 observations of a mass-selected sample of galaxy clusters
G. Bernardi, T. Venturi, R. Cassano +7
The presence of megaparsec-scale radio halos in galaxy clusters has already been established by many observations over the last two decades. The emerging explanation for the format…
The iron dispersion of the globular cluster M 2, revised
C. Lardo, A. Mucciarelli, N. Bastian
M 2 has been claimed to posses three distinct stellar components that are enhanced in iron relative to each other. We use equivalent width measurements from 14 red giant branch sta…
Weighing stars: the identification of an Evolved Blue Straggler Star in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae
F. R. Ferraro, E. Lapenna, A. Mucciarelli +4
Globular clusters are known to host peculiar objects, named Blue Straggler Stars (BSSs), significantly heavier than the normal stellar population. While these stars can be easily i…
