Abstract:

Security is a major issue for electronic commerce. Crytography is the foundation of security and oblivious transfer (OT) protocols are one primitive of modern cryptography. The main goal of this dissertation is to develop new and more efficient OT protocols and explore their applications in electronic commerce. A new m out of n OT scheme is proposed, its implementation, security and efficiency are discussed, and it is compared with a previous OT scheme. The analysis shows that the previous OT protocol can be regarded as a special case of the new proposed OT scheme. The new OT scheme's applicab

Abstract:

Electronic commerce and the internet provide greater opportunities for companies and individual person to be involved in commercial activities; the involved parties may not know or trust each other or may even be mutually suspicious of each other. The issue of fairness becomes more critical and must be well addressed. The aim of this thesis is to investigate security solutions with fairness for on-line transactions. A fair trading protocol with credit payment is proposed. The proof of equivalence of discrete logarithm to discrete loglogarithm is employed as the main tool to construct the proto

Abstract:

Trust management is an important issue in the analysis and design of secure information systems. This is especially the case where centrally managed security is not possible. Trust issues arise not only in business functions, but also in technologies used to support these functions. There are a vast number of services and applications that must accommodate appropriate notions of trust. Trust and trust management have become a hot research area. The motivation of this dissertation is to build up a comprehensive trust management approach that covers the analysis/modelling of trust relationships

A mechanism is a specification for the determination of economic decisions based on the information that is known by the individuals within the economy. Mechanism design is the discipline of designing mechanisms that lead to socially desirable outcomes in a context in which individuals are self-interested. Traditionally, mechanism design has focused on static settings in which the individuals (participants) are known to the mechanism prior to any decision being made. However, many real environments are dynamic, such as in a stock exchange where participants are arriving and departing at differ

Electronic marketplaces have proliferated as use of the Internet has become widespread in business. A rapid growth in the number of marketplaces, followed by a period of stringent consolidation, as market makers develop a greater understanding of effective business models, has resulted in a climate of uncertainty and confusion. As with many aspects of e-commerce the drive towards participation is fuelled less by strategy planning than by a fear of lagging behind competitors or losing first mover advantage. In this climate of uncertainty organisations often bypass effective evaluation of the be

Abstract:

Electronic marketplaces (e-marketplaces) have been researched over many years from the study of electronic data interchange (EDI) systems to the current internet based trading platforms. Early e-marketplaces connected a buyer and supplier using proprietary systems that established a market hierarchy. The buyer was responsible for the system, established the terms of trade and the electronically enabled supplier could connect to the system. These systems were costly to build, which limited their use, and only organisations with an integrated system could use them. The web based e-marketplaces o

Of the many analytical methods collectively referred to as Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is the most familiar to today’s generation of students of finance. The popularity of the CAPM arises from its success in expressing a powerful theoretical insight in a simple, usable form. The primary use of the CAPM is to determine minimum required rates of return from investment in risky assets. The variable in the CAPM is called ‘beta’, a statistical measure of risk which has become familiar to all finance professionals. Over the past decade, beta has become the m

In doing so, our attention will be placed upon the weak or more general form of the hypothesis, which has come to be known as optimisation.

The short history of electroacoustic music is a history that, in many ways, shares in and benefits from the Eurocentric and androcentric grand narratives of centuries of Western music. Yet, paradoxically, it operates on the margins of music because it directly challenges common sense approaches to music that privilege melody and harmonic progression while also treating these as ubiquitous and universally applicable. Traditional aural training (in an institutional setting), I argue, disciplines listeners in ways that alter their receptive capacity for electroacoustic music. Electroacoustic musi

Abstract:

This study investigates the efficiency and productivity of Saudi banking sector consisting of 10 banks (3 large, 4 medium, 3 small) during the period, 2001-2010. It begins with the estimation of technical efficiency based on input-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach. For a comprehensive analysis, the technical efficiency is decomposed into the product of pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency. This is followed by measuring cost efficiency which is the product of technical and allocative efficiencies. Finally, the Malmquist Productivity Indices (MPI) are computed to examin

Abstract:

Nanographites with π conjugated open edges are a class of sp2 bonded nanocarbon system which is situated between aromatic molecules and bulk graphite. Their properties strongly depend on the topology of the sp2 carbon network. In particular, the non-bonding edge localized states near the Fermi level crucially affect the electronic π states which govern the electronic and structural properties of the material. One fascinating feature is the edge magnetism that originates from the spin alignment of edge localized spins in contrast to the diamagnetic nature of bulk graphite; thus it is not surpri

Abstract:

Since the 1980s, globalization has led to a rapid increase in the growth of foreign direct investment (FDI). throughout the world. Along with FDI inflow, China’s outward direct investment increased gradually after 1978. By the end of 2010, nearly 13,000 domestic investing entities had established about 13,500 overseas enterprises across different industries, spread across 177 countries globally. Strong growth in outward FDI has led to extensive research investigating outward FDI issues, for developed economies, these studies typically employed cross-section, time-series or panel data

Full text

Abstract:

The increasing use of Twitter by businesses has created the challenge of how organisations can use Twitter most effectively for marketing. Using data across several years of Twitter activity by both leading global brands and a non-profit organisation (NPO), this thesis presents measures that can be used by practitioners and researchers to assess the effectiveness of marketing communications on Twitter. It discusses the factors that predict consumer and stakeholder engagement with organisational tweets, and different Twitter strategies that have been successfully (and less successfully) used by

Daniel, Adam. "Affective intensities and evolving horror forms : from found footage to virtual reality." Thesis, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/1959.7/uws:45507.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the evolving forms of cinematic horror, from the sub-genre of ‘found footage,’ to post-cinematic new media forms such as Youtube horror, both narrative and non-narrative, and cinematic virtual reality horror. By examining how these new forms alter the dynamics of spectatorship, the thesis asks how cinema’s affective capacities have shifted in relation to these modifications in the form of cinematic horror. Departing from psychoanalytic, representational and hermeneutic models, it explores the ways that horror as a genre strategically withholds its semantic content in order

Full text

Abstract:

Cloud service providers are consistently striving to provide efficient and reliable service, to their client's Big Data storage need. Replication is a simple and flexible method to ensure reliability and availability of data. However, it is not an efficient solution for Big Data since it always scales in terabytes and petabytes. Hence erasure coding is gaining traction despite its shortcomings. Deploying erasure coding in cloud storage confronts several challenges like encoding/decoding complexity, load balancing, exponential resource consumption due to data repair and read latency. This thesi

Full text

Abstract:

The primary aim of this thesis was to investigate the feasibility and robustness of predictive machine-learning models in the context of improving hospital resources’ utilisation with data- driven approaches and predicting hospitalisation with hospital quality assessment metrics such as length of stay. The length of stay predictions includes the validity of the proposed methodological predictive framework on each hospital’s electronic health records data source. In this thesis, we relied on electronic health records (EHRs) to drive a data-driven predictive inpatient length of stay (LOS) resear
