Measurement of the e+e-→π+π-J/ψ cross section via initial-state radiation at Belle

Abstract: The cross section for e{sup +}e{sup -}{yields}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}J/{psi} between 3.8 and 5.5 GeV/c{sup 2} is measured using a 548 fb{sup -1} data sample collected on or near the {upsilon}(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. A peak near 4.25 GeV/c{sup 2}, corresponding to the so called Y(4260), is observed. In addition, there is another cluster of events at around 4.05 GeV/c{sup 2}. A fit using two interfering Breit-Wigner shapes describes the data better than one that uses only the Y(4260), especially for the lower-mass side of the 4.25 GeV enhancement.

Weaknesses and improvements of an efficient password based remote user authentication scheme using smart cards

Abstract: Recently, Chien et al. proposed an efficient remote authentication scheme using smart cards. However, we find that their scheme is vulnerable to a reflection attack and an insider attack. In addition, their scheme lacks reparability. Herein, we first show the weaknesses of Chien et al.'s scheme, and then propose an improved scheme with better security strength.

Affect, Travel Motivation, and Travel Intention: a Senior Market:

Abstract: The senior tourism market has received increased attention as the importance of this market segment becomes more evident. However, limited efforts have been devoted to understanding psychological aspects of senior tourists. The primary objectives of this research are to investigate seniors' affect and travel motivation as well as interrelationships between these two constructs and to discover the effects of affect and motivation on travel intentions of seniors aged 65 or greater. Using Taiwanese seniors as the study sample, the authors identify “novelty seeking” as the most important travel motivation factor from five extracted factors. It is also found that both positive and negative affective states have significant impacts on travel motivations and that only positive affect is significantly related to future travel intention. Among motivation factors, novelty-seeking not only can be stimulated by affect but also arouses travel intention. The findings of this exploratory study provide empirical support ...

Robust anonymous authentication protocol for health-care applications using wireless medical sensor networks

Abstract: With the fast development of wireless communication technologies and semiconductor technologies, the wireless sensor network (WSN) has been widely used in many applications As an application of the WSN, the wireless medical sensor network (WMSN) could improve health-care quality and has become important in the modern medical system In the WMSN, physiological data are collected by sensors deployed in the patient's body and sent to health professionals' mobile devices through wireless communication Then health professionals could get the status of the patient anywhere and anytime The data collected by sensors are very sensitive and important The leakage of them could compromise the patient's privacy and their malicious modification could harm the patient's health Therefore, both security and privacy are two important issues in WMSNs Recently, Kumar et al proposed an efficient authentication protocol for health-care applications using WMSNs and claimed that it could withstand various attacks However, we find that their protocol is vulnerable to the off-line password guessing attack and the privileged insider attack We also point out that their protocol cannot provide user anonymity In this paper, we will propose a robust anonymous authentication protocol for health-care applications using WMSNs Compared with Kumar et al's protocol, the proposed protocol has strong security and computational efficiency Therefore, it is more suitable for health-care applications using WMSNs

Television and Web advertising synergies

Abstract: Synergy is a concept that many communication professionals believe in, but demonstrating synergy effects in the laboratory or field settings to identify how synergy operates has proved elusive. A set of experiments was conducted to test the existence of different synergy effects as well as to compare the information-processing model of synergy with that of repetition. As a result, television-Web synergy leads to significantly higher attention, higher perceived message credibility, and a greater number of total and positive thoughts than did repetition. Also, people under synergistic conditions formed brand attitudes through the central processing route, whereas people under repetitive conditions formed brand attitudes through the peripheral route. The implementations of these findings are discussed.
