Energy-Efficient Bridge Detection Algorithms for Wireless Sensor Networks by Orhan Dagdeviren, Vahid Khalilpour Akram

“…The second algorithm runs proposed rules on 2-hop neighborhoods of each node and tries to detect all bridges in a breadth-first search (BFS) execution session using O( N ) messages with O ( Δ ( log 2 ( N ) ) ) bits where N is the node count and Δ is the maximum node degree. …”

Peoples’ right to self-determination and self-governance over natural resources: Possible and desirable? by Hans Morten Haugen

“…Finally, the article identifies the role of human rights in bilateral investment treaties (BITs). It finds that there are less jurisdictional restrictions – as many treaties have a wide understanding of applicable law – than cognitive restrictions – as human rights competence is rarely sought when establishing tribunals mandated to solve investments disputes.…”

Improved Masking Multiplication with PRGs and Its Application to Arithmetic Addition by Bohan Wang, Qian Sui, Fanjie Ji, Chun Guo, Weijia Wang

“…On the theoretical level, we push the limits of the randomness requirement by providing an improved masking multiplication using only d PRGs, each of which is fed with d random variables, saving more than half random bits. On the practical level, considering that the masking of arithmetic addition usually requires more randomness (than multiplication), we apply the technique to the algorithm proposed at FSE 2015 that is a very efficient scheme performing arithmetic addition modulo 2w. …”
