In previously published articles, our research group has developed the Haphazard Intentional Sampling method and compared it to the Rerandomization method proposed by K.Morgan and D.Rubin. In this article, we compare both methods to the pure randomiz...
Nowadays, various computing services are often hosted on cloud platforms for their availability and cost effectiveness. However, such services are frequently exposed to vulnerabilities. Therefore, many countermeasures have been invented to defend aga...
Haphazard intentional sampling is a method developed by our research group for two main purposes: (i) sampling design, where the interest is to select small samples that accurately represent the general population regarding a set of covariates of int...
In empirical science, random sampling is the golden standard to ensure unbiased, impartial, or fair results, as it works as a technological barrier designed to prevent spurious communication or illegitimate interference between parties in the applica...
Data-driven decision-making has become crucial across various domains. Randomization and re-randomization are standard techniques employed in controlled experiments to estimate causal effects in the presence of numerous pre-treatment covariates. This...
In recent decades, scientific research has considerably evolved in the field of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and clinical studies have become increasingly complex, including new outcomes, different study populations, and additional techniques of...
Background: Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory condition requiring acute and maintenance treatment. Ectoine, a natural extremolyte with barrier-supportive and anti-inflammatory properties, offers a potential non-steroidal opti...
Artificial immune systems (AIS), as nature-inspired algorithms, have been developed to solve various types of problems, ranging from machine learning to optimization. This paper proposes a novel hybrid model of AIS that incorporates cellular automata...
Lattice enumeration is a linear-space algorithm for solving the shortest lattice vector problem (SVP). Extreme pruning is a practical technique for accelerating lattice enumeration, which has a mature theoretical analysis and practical implementation...
Ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) is a suitable cryptographic technique for fine-grained data sharing in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). However, in a highly dynamic IoV environment, existing revocable attribute-based encryption (...
Acanthococcus ironsidei (Williams) (Hemiptera: Eriococcidae) is an invasive pest of macadamia, Macadamia integrifolia, in Hawai’i, causing death to macadamia trees and decreased nut productivity. Monitoring relies on wrapping double-sided stick...
Background: Nirsevimab is approved in the US for the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract disease in neonates and infants during their first RSV season and in children aged ≤24 months who remain vulnerable to sev...
In applications pertaining to sensor network, the Internet of Things, industrial monitoring, and cyber–physical security, graphs are increasingly being outsourced to clouds, where similarity search should be supported without exposing graph con...
This rerandomized clinical trial evaluated the influence of soft liners (SL) on biting force, pain perception, and the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of complete denture wearers. Twenty-eight completely edentulous patients complaining o...
Revocable Identity-Based Encryption (RIBE) can dynamically revoke users whose secret keys have been compromised, ensuring a system’s backward security. An RIBE scheme with decryption key exposure resistance (DKER) guarantees the confidentiality...
