In a traditional Single Sign-On (SSO) scheme, the user and the Service Providers (SPs) have given their trust to the Identity Provider (IdP) or Authentication Service Provider (ASP) for the authentication and correct assertion. However, we still need a better solution for the local/native true SSO to gain user confidence, whereby the trusted entity must play the role of the ASP between distinct SPs. This technical gap has been filled by Trusted Computing (TC), where the remote attestation approach introduced by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) is to attest whether the remote platform integrity is indeed trusted or not. In this paper, we demonstrate a Trustworthy Mutual Attestation (TMutualA) protocol as a proof of concept implementation for a local true SSO using the Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA) with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). In our proposed protocol, firstly, the user and SP platform integrity are checked (i.e., hardware and software integrity state verification) before allowing access to a protected resource sited at the SP and releasing a user authentication token to the SP. We evaluated the performance of the proposed TMutualA protocol, in particular, the client and server attestation time and the round trip of the mutual attestation time.

This study investigates the application of management information systems to the quality of local government financial reports, especially the principle of transparency and the law of accountability, which have been measures of financial statement performance evaluation. The study was conducted in Enrekang Regency, Indonesia, which, based on the results of the examination, the Supreme Audit Board reported the status of Disclaimer, Fair with Exceptions, and Fair without Exceptions for three years each. This study used a sample of 35 respondents, finance department employees who worked on local government financial reports. Descriptive quantitative data were collected using a questionnaire instrument, then with the assistance of the Program Solution and Product Statistics (SPSS) Program, data were processed to test hypotheses. The results showed that the use of management information systems based on information and communication technology (ICT) had a significant influence on the quality of local government financial reports. The findings of this study indicate that the application of ICT-based management information systems affects the accountability and transparency of local government financial reports. This finding is reinforced by the use of the principles of government agility in the form of government apparatuses that apply responsive dexterity, flexibility agility, and competency agility.

This article is concerned with the free vibration problem for chiral double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNTs) modelled using the non-local elasticity theory and Euler Bernoulli beam model. According to the governing equations of non-local Euler Bernoulli beam theory and the boundary conditions, the analytical solution is derived and two branches of transverse wave propagating are obtained. The numerical results obtained provide better representations of the vibration behaviour of double-walled carbon nanotube, where the aspect ratio of the (DWCNTs), the vibrational mode number, the small-scale coefficient and chirality of double-walled carbon nanotube on the frequency ratio (${\chi}^N$) of the (DWCNTs) are significant. In this work, the numerical results obtained can be used to predict and prevent the phenomenon of resonance for the forced vibration analyses of double -walled carbon nanotubes.

The present paper is focused on the study of the propagation of plane waves in thermoelastic media under a modified Green-Lindsay (MG-L) model having the influence of non-local and two temperature. The problem is formulated for the considered model in dimensionless form and is explained by using the reflection phenomenon. The plane wave solution of these equations indicates the existence of three waves namely Longitudinal waves (LD-Wave), Thermal waves (T-wave), and Shear waves (SV-wave) from a stress-free surface. The variation of amplitude ratios is computed analytically and depicted graphically against the angle of incidence to elaborate the impact of non-local, two temperature, and different theories of thermoelasticity. Some particular cases of interest are also deduced from the present investigation. The present study finds applications in a wide range of problems in engineering and sciences, control theory, vibration mechanics, and continuum mechanics.

관망상배관(Looped networks)시스템에서 관수로시스템의 전체비용은 폐회로유량(Loop flows)에 따라 영향을 받는다. 따라서 관망상배관의 최적설계를 위한 수학적모형을 추계학적 최적화방법에 적용하기 위하여 폐회로유량의 섭동(Perturbations)으로 전체비용이 변하게 하였다. 관망상 배관문제의 분석가능영역은 수많은 국지해(Local optimum)를 갖는 비볼록(Nonconvex)이므로 분석가능영역의 효율적인 심사를 위하여 수정추계학적 심사방법을 제안하였으며 이 방법은 국부심사단계(Global search phase)와 국지심사단계(Local search phase)로 구성되어 있다. 국부탐사에서는 점차적으로 국지해를 증진시키며 국지탐사에서는 국부탐사단계에서 교착상태에 있는 국지해로 부터 벗어나게 하거나 최종국지해를 증진시킨다. 제안한 방법의 효율성을 검정하기 위하여 참고문헌에 있는 기존관수로시스템의 병열관로(Parallel pipe line) 확장문제를 표본으로 채택하여 제안한 방법을 적용한 결과 먼저 발표된 연구자들의 비용보다 적은 비용으로 설계할 수 있었다.

블록정합에 기초한 고속 움직임 추정 알고리듬은 탐색점의 수를 줄이기 위해 정해진 탐색패턴을 사용하며, 평균절대 오차 공간에서 오차는 전역 최소해 (global minimum)에 근접할수록 단조 감소한다는 가정을 바탕으로 하고 있다. 따라서, 탐색영역 내에 여러 최소점이 있는 다중 모달(multimodal) 해공간에서는 국소 최소해(local minima)에 고립될 가능성이 크며, 전역 최소해를 얻는 것은 초기 탐색점에 크게 의존한다. 이러한 현상은 서로 다른 여러 움직임이 공존하는 움직임 경계에서 더욱 부각된다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 시공간적으로 인접한 블록의 움직임 정보에 기초하여 탐색영역 내에 탐색 후보영역들을 정의하고, 국소 최소해로의 고립 가능성을 줄이기 위해 여러 후보영역들에 대한 다중 국소 탐색법(multiple local search method : MLSM)을 제안한다 또한, 다중 국소 탐색 법에서는 전체 후보영역들의 탐색으로 인한 부가적인 계산량을 줄이기 위해 탐색점 맵 상에 후보영역들을 표시하고 후보영역에 대한 중복탐색을 배제한다. 모의실험 결과 제안한 방법은 다른 경사법에 의한 결과보다 특히, 움직임 경계에서의 탐색에서 우수한 결과를 보였으며, PSNR에 대해서는 탐색점의 수를 증가시키지 않는 범위 내에서 전역 탐색법(full search : FS)에 의한 결과와 비슷한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

The effect of solution acidity and organic additives, polyethylene glycol (PEG), on the trivalent chromium electroplating was systematically investigated in the view point of electroreduction of trivalent chromium ions and solution stability. It was found that solution acidity controlled at pH 2.5 showed the widest current range for bright electrodeposits in the presence of PEG additives, which reduced the local current intensification at high current densities. Through complex interaction between PEG additives and hydrogen ion, that is, solution acidity, electrode potential was moved in the negative direction in the bulk solution, while it shifted in the positive when electric potential was scanned. In conjunction with electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), it was found that PEG additives had a role in promoting the electron transfer to trivalent chromium ion complexes in bulk solution and their adsorption at the electrode surface as well as interfering with hydrogen ion reduction process below pH 2.5. The PEG additives developed the nodular morphology during electroreduction of trivalent chromium ions with the increase of solution acidity and enhanced its current efficiency by maintaining the consumption of complexant, formic acid, at low speed.

Background: The limited studies on the effect of buffering on the clinical efficacy of articaine have reported controversial results. The purpose of this study was to clinically compare the pain of injection, anesthetic success, onset, and duration of pulpal anesthesia of buffered 4% articaine with epinephrine 1:100000 versus a non-buffered 4% articaine with epinephrine 1:100000 formulation for buccal infiltration of the mandibular first molar. Methods: Sixty-three volunteers were enrolled in the study. All volunteers received two injections consisting of a single mandibular first molar buccal infiltration with 1.8 ml of 4% articaine with epinephrine 1:100000 and 1.8 ml of 4% articaine with epinephrine 1:100000 buffered with 8.4% sodium bicarbonate. The infiltrations were applied in two separate appointments spaced at least one week apart. After injection of the anesthetic solution at the examined site, the first molar was pulp-tested every 2 min for the next 60 min. Results: Successful pulpal anesthesia was recorded in 69.8% of cases using non-buffered articaine solution and 76.2% of cases using buffered articaine solution, with no significant difference between the formulations (P = 0.219). The mean time of anesthesia onset for the volunteers with successful anesthetic outcome in both formulations (n = 43) was 6.6 ± 1.6 min for the non-buffered articaine solution and 4.5 ± 1.6 min for the buffered solution, which differed significantly (P = 0.001). In the same volunteers, the mean duration of pulpal anesthesia was 28.4 ± 7.1 min for non-buffered articaine solution and 30.2 ± 8.5 min for buffered articaine solution, with no significant difference between the formulations (P = 0.231). Considering the pain of injection, regardless of the anesthetic success, the mean values of VAS were 11.3 ± 8.2 mm for the non-buffered articaine solution and 7.8 ±6.5 mm for the buffered articaine solution, which differed significantly (P = 0.001 < 0.05). Conclusion: According to the present study, 4% articaine with epinephrine can benefit from buffering and provide better anesthetic behavior, with improved onset and less pain during injection.
