Use of Mid Upper-Arm Circumference (MUAC) as screening tool in an urban township in the Eastern Cape: rationale for testing changed cut-off values to identify malnutrition by McLaren, Shawn, Steenkamp, Liana, Venter, Danie

“…The least squares regression formula (Y = 15.409 + 0.803x (males); Y = 15.13 + 0.83x (females)) was then used to predict where WHZ = -2 is most likely to correspond with a MUAC value in cm. The new predicted MUAC values of 13.8 cm (males) and 13.5 cm (females) were subsequently tested for sensitivity and specificity. …”

Physical unclonable function based solutions to unification of user, device and data authentication by Zheng, Yue

“…The non-repudiation assumption of these conventional techniques is being challenged by emerging artificial-intelligent assisted and malware-based attacks on independently chained weak links (factors), and their limited extension to IoT scenarios, where the sheer number of inexpensive and often insufficiently protected endpoints prevent application of standard, secret-key based techniques. …”
