We present a simple key-recovery attack on the LCMQ Authentication Protocol, an RFID authentication protocol proposed by Li, Gong, and Qin in 2013. We show that a successful attack is performed by solving a Learning Parity with Noise instance in a not-too-large dimension. For the proposed LCMQ parameters, the attack requires only a few invocations with the tag under attack. When there is no restri
The potential of additional steering possibilities (like rear-wheel or all-wheel steering) is analyzed for critical situations to investigate possible safety improvements. For this purpose, a dynamic optimization problem is formulated to find the best possible maneuver. The optimization criterion is to maximize the entry speed into a constant radius 90°-curve. The optimization problem is solved fo
In this paper we establish a geometry-based stochastic ultra-wideband channel model for outdoor infostations scenarios. We statistically describe the location and strength of clusters of scatterers, as well as the shape and width of visibility and shadowing regions. We also separately model diffuse radiation (which cannot be explained by the scatterer components), and show that its fading statisti
The purpose of this paper is to analyse transient dynamics in adaptive control using statistical concentration bounds. For maximal clarity, the study is limited to a linear first order system with a single uncertain parameter. Two types of bounds are given: First we prove probabilistic bounds on the parameter estimation error as a function of time. In particular, we prove that the estimation error
We study an optimal targeting problem for super-modular games with binary actions and finitely many players. The considered problem consists in the selection of a subset of players of minimum size such that, when the actions of these players are forced to a controlled value while the others are left to repeatedly play a best response action, the system will converge to the greatest Nash equilibriu
We prove the first hardness results against efficient proof search by quantum algorithms. We show that underLearning with Errors (LWE), the standard lattice-based cryptographic assumption, no quantum algorithm can weaklyautomate TC0-Frege. This extends the line of results of Krajííček and Pudlík(Information and Computation, 1998), Bonet, Pitassi, and Raz (SIAM Journal on Computing, 2000),and Bonet
Our new Chief Veterinarian has landed. Research has always attracted her and the her new job means that she will have influence on strategic issues that require wise solutions. She is looking forward to the challenges. On a new job since the first of October, as Chief Veterinarian at Medfak, how does it feel? "It feels very exciting because it is a job where I get to be part of the changing enviro
Industry--academia collaboration is critical for empirical research to exist. However, there are many obstacles in the collaboration process. This paper reports on the experiences gained by the author, in a 2-year collaboration project on software testing which involved on-site work by the researcher in the industry premises. Based on notes, minutes of meetings, and progress reports, the project h
Artificial intelligence powers everything from facial recognition to self-driving cars, but what does it really take to teach a computer to “see”? Isak Engdahl, who recently defended his doctoral thesis at Lund University, takes us inside the labs where computer vision systems are built, and reveals the human work behind the technology. On Friday 28 November, Isak Engdahl successfully defended his

Abstract Estuaries and salt marshes are important wetlands used by waterbirds during winter and migration. However, many salt-marshes have been transformed into salinas, which currently function as high-tide roosts. Since traditional salt production is no longer profitable, many salinas have been abandoned or converted into aquaculture potentially becoming less attractive to waders. In this study
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The earth is both inundated and drying up. Water supply is a complex phenomenon that has probably never been more complicated – or more important – than now. Kenneth M. Persson is a professor of water resources engineering and he took the initiative for Lund University’s Water Portal, which involves over 200 (!) water

Three well-known dynamic acidification models (MAGIC, SAFE, SMART) were applied to data sets from five Integrated Monitoring sites in Europe. The calibrated models were used in a policy-oriented framework to predict the long-term soil acidification of these background forest sites, given different scenarios of future deposition of S and N. Emphasis was put on deriving realistic site-specific scena
Active site titration and activity measurements were performed in hexane on lyophilised lipase preparations containing different amounts of phosphate buffer and lipase immobilised on porous polypropylene. Lyophilisation of Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase with large quantities of phosphate salts (200 mm) increased the specific activity fourfold, and the number of rapidly titratable active sites incr
Popular Abstract in Swedish (Summary in Swedish) Urininkontinens är ett stort folkhälsoproblem. Ungefär 10 % av kvinnor i 40-årsåldern är drabbade och andelen inkontinenta ökar med ökande ålder. Den vanligaste formen av urininkontinens är så kallad ansträngningsinkontinens med de typiska symptomen urinläckage vid hosta, tunga lyft och gymnastik. I uttalade fall kan dock läckage uppstå redan vid daThe etiology of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is unclear. By linking three nationwide medical registries we evaluated maternal and obstetric factors associated with later SUI surgery. Surgery for SUI was strongly associated with vaginal delivery, but not with pregnancy as such. Maternal conditions and interventions during delivery modified the association. Proper evaluation of treatment

The primary focus of this Master thesis is to study how industrial house building can be implemented during production of rental flats under the terms of public procurement. In order to determine a suitable working process as well as presenting a possible architectonic result of the process, a case study is carried through. A housing projekt is designed on a site i Malmö, where the commisioner is
Hunnebostrand var under 1900-talet ett av Sveriges främsta stenhuggerisamhällen. Här höggs och bearbetades stenen för att sedan fraktas till platser över hela världen. På 70-talet lades stenhuggeriverksamheten i Hunnebostrand ner, men spåren efter industrin lever kvar i samhället än idag. En viktig plats i Hunnebostrand under stenhuggeriepoken var Udden. Här höggs sten från Norra Högeberg och plaThis project examines the potential design of a visitor center named ”Stenens Hus” in Hunnebostrand, Sweden. The village was a prominent stone quarrying community in the 20th century, and the quarrying industry left its mark on the town even after it was shut down in the 1970s. One important place in Hunnebostrand during this era was Udden, where stone from Norra Högeberg was quarried. The site
