Logical Relations for Encryption (Extended Abstract)
The theory of relational parametricity and its logical relations proof technique are powerful tools for reasoning about information hiding in the polymorphic λ-calculus. We investigate the application of these tools in the security domain by defining a cryptographic λ-calculus -- an extension of the standard simply typed λ-calculus with primitives for encryption, decryption, and key generation -- and introducing logical relations for this calculus that can be used to prove behavioral equivalences between programs that rely on encryption.
We illustrate the framework by encoding some simple security protocols, including the Needham-Schroeder public-key protocol. We give a natural account of the well-known attack on the original protocol and a straightforward proof that the improved variant of the protocol is secure
Limitations of Applicative Bisimulation (Preliminary Report)
We present a series of examples that illuminate an important aspect of the semantics of higher-order functions with local state. Namely that certain behaviour of such functions can only be observed by pro- viding them with arguments that contain the functions themselves. This provides evidence for the necessity of complex conditions for functions in modern semantics for state, such as logical relations and Kripke-like bisimulations, where related functions are applied to related arguments (that may contain the functions). It also suggests that simpler semantics, such as those based on applicative bisimulations where functions are ap- plied to identical arguments, would not scale to higher-order languages with local state

Observation of Magnetic Edge State and Dangling Bond State on Nanographene in Activated Carbon Fibers
The electronic structure of nanographene in pristine and fluorinated
activated carbon fibers (ACFs) have been investigated with near-edge x-ray
absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) and compared with magnetic properties we
reported on previously. In pristine ACFs in which magnetic properties are
governed by non-bonding edge states of the \pi-electron, a pre-peak assigned to
the edge state was observed below the conduction electron {\pi}* peak close to
the Fermi level in NEXAFS. Via the fluorination of the ACFs, an extra peak,
which was assigned to the \sigma-dangling bond state, was observed between the
pre-peak of the edge state and the {\pi}* peak in the NEXAFS profile. The
intensities of the extra peak correlate closely with the spin concentration
created upon fluorination. The combination of the NEXAFS and magnetic
measurement results confirms the coexistence of the magnetic edge states of
\pi-electrons and dangling bond states of \sigma-electrons on fluorinated
nanographene sheets.Comment: 4 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.

The body of a patient and rational treatment in the managed care era
This study aims to identify conceptions of the body, as well as "rational" treatment
among primary care practitioners (PCPs) and emergency medicine practitioners (EMPs)
dealing with managed care plans. I conducted ethnographic study throughout 1996, and
interviewed six PCPs and four EMPs. In the course of my interviews, I discovered that
EMPs' and PCPs' perceived meaning and power in regards to treatment of their patients
has been increasingly resituated by the power of scientific discourse as utilized by
technocrats (such as consumer, provider, and insurance organizations who formulate
managed care plans).
Technocrats have developed scientific measurements to monitor physicians'
performances, quantifiably or scientifically. Technocrats conceptualize ideal treatment as
a cost effective care. They guide PCPs to supervise ideal treatment of the managed care
delivery networks, providing care without referring patients to specialists and
administrating to hospitals. Consequently, PCPs' power to pursue the newly
conceptualized ideal treatment influences other arenas of specialty, such as EMPs. On the
other hand, EMPs develop preferred treatment which is formulated through their medical
school education and clinical experiences. The preferred treatment is associated with time
because EMPs have to treat acute conditions of their patients within a limited amount of
time. However, EMPs sometimes cannot complete their preferred treatment because they
have to send their patient back to the patients' contracted PCPs in order to save health
care expenditure.
Technocrats implemented the engineering concept of quality control, and the
concept is incorporated into the principle of managed care plans, and preventive medicine.
As a result, the managed care plan networks become like production lines of large
manufacturing factories, and PCPs work as laborers to maintain the bodies of enrollees in
healthy conditions

Epiphyseal growth cartilage of the femoral head obtained from Wistar rats was investigated after fixation by a rapid-freezing and freeze-substitution. Liquid helium was used in order to achieve a fast cooling rate without ice-crystal damage during the rapid freezing. Use of the rapid-freezing and freeze-substitution procedure provided better ultrastructural preservation of the chondrocyte than conventional chemical fixation methods. This procedure allowed a more reliable approach to electron probe analysis. X-ray microanalysis of the specimens confirmed that calcium is not detected in the initial matrix vesicles as a result of the freezing process. The results suggest that calcium release from precipitates occurs in the free state without any detectable formation of hydroxyapatite at the initial stage of calcification and that calcium is not tightly bound to the matrix vesicles.</p
