Quantum protocols for untrusted computations

In this paper, we propose new quantum arithmetic protocols among multiple parties. Let some parties have values. A problem is to find a protocol such that under the condition that any eavesdropper intercepting any quantum system being exchanged among the parties must not be able to acquire information, the parties compute an arithmetic operation such as addition and multiplication, and transfer its computing result to another party. One of main ideas to solve this problem is based on operating state phases. A quantum addition algorithm based on operating phases has been proposed by Draper, but his algorithm was not considered being eavesdropped. We propose secure quantum arithmetic protocols.     

The revised Australian fiberscopic profile

The Australian Fiberscopic Profile (AFP) was developed for use in a previous study of normal voices to provide standard documentation for examining the larynx under continuous light. The AFP is being used currently in five specialized voice clinics in Australia to collect data on dysphonic voices. After use with 40 clients it became obvious that a revision with clearer definitions of the parameters was needed to make it a more useful clinical tool.

Comparison of different statistical methods for evaluation of proficiency test data

In analytical chemistry, proficiency testing usually consists in tests that laboratories conduct under routine conditions and report the result to the PT provider who then converts the result to a score which helps the participant to assess the accuracy of the result. The aim of this work is to show PT providers, accreditations bodies, and participating laboratories that different scoring results can be achieved depending on the evaluation system selected. The influence of different evaluation techniques on the results of an interlaboratory comparison for determination of gold in precious metals alloys was investigated. Results from 19 participating laboratories were evaluated by means of the three procedures: (1) classical statistical approach—outliers detection; (2) robust methods—(2A) robust procedure and (2B) ISO 13528; and (3) fitness for purpose. Evaluation of the same PT data revealed very interesting issues depending on the different scoring systems that were used and the robustness of the statistical methods used for detecting outliers. As a general rule, laboratories with scoring Z > 2 offered clearly poorer performance in robust approaches than classical ones. In order to support this first evidence, we evaluated a second data set with results from 24 laboratories (mercury from soil samples) by means of the four mentioned approaches. Selection and comparison of different scoring systems must be done very carefully, because sometimes they are not the best approach for studying the data population or the more appropriate one for evaluating the distribution of the data. Finally it should be taken into account that sometimes the robust scoring systems are not always suitable for evaluating the results of some PT schemes.     

Mitochondrial DNA control region typing from highly degraded skeletal remains by single-multiplex next-generation sequencing

Poor nuclear DNA preservation from highly degraded skeletal remains is the most limiting factor for the genetic identification of individuals. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) typing, and especially of the control region (CR), using next-generation sequencing (NGS), enables retrieval of valuable genetic information in forensic contexts where highly degraded human skeletal remains are the only source of genetic material. Currently, NGS commercial kits can type all mtDNA-CR in fewer steps than the conventional Sanger technique. The PowerSeq CRM Nested System kit (Promega Corporation) employs a nested multiplex-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) strategy to amplify and index all mtDNA-CR in a single reaction. Our study analyzes the success of mtDNA-CR typing of highly degraded human skeletons using the PowerSeq CRM Nested System kit. We used samples from 41 individuals from different time periods to test three protocols (M1, M2, and M3) based on modifications of PCR conditions. To analyze the detected variants, two bioinformatic procedures were compared: an in-house pipeline and the GeneMarker HTS software. The results showed that many samples were not analyzed when the standard protocol (M1) was used. In contrast, the M3 protocol, which includes 35 PCR cycles and longer denaturation and extension steps, successfully recovered the mtDNA-CR from highly degraded skeletal samples. Mixed base profiles and the percentage of damaged reads were both indicators of possible contamination and can provide better results if used together. Furthermore, our freely available in-house pipeline can provide variants concordant with the forensic software.     

降雨背景下诱骗态协议最优平均光子数的变色龙自适应策略

为了应对降雨给采用诱骗态协议的量子通信系统带来的突发性干扰,根据降雨分布模型和退极化信道的特性,本文提出了基于变色龙算法的每脉冲最优平均光子数自适应策略;建立了降雨强度、链路距离与最优平均光子数之间的自适应关系;并对采用变色龙算法前后,系统的性能参数进行了比较.仿真结果表明,当降雨强度J为30 mm/24 h、链路距离L为30 km时,通过采用变色龙算法,系统的安全密钥生成率由2×10~(-4)提高到3.5×10~(-4);当J为60 mm/24 h,L为20 km时,系统的信道生存函数值由0.52提高到0.63;当要求生存函数不低于0.5时,系统能够应对的最大雨强由62 mm/24 h提高到74 mm/24 h.因此,根据降雨强度和链路距离,通过变色龙算法自适应地调整系统发送端信号脉冲所含的平均光子数,可以提高量子通信系统在降雨背景下的有效性和可靠性.
