CRC Press/Balkema
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This study documents the use of high-resolution X-Ray Computed Tomography to characterise air void distribution in Fine Aggregate Mixtures (FAM) prepared using Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) additives (W-FAM). Specimens were imaged ...
Computational Aspects of Ideal (t, n)-Threshold Scheme of Chen, Laing, and Martin
(
Springer
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In CANS 2016, Chen, Laing, and Martin proposed an ideal (t, n)-threshold secret sharing scheme (the CLM scheme) based on random linear code. However, in this paper we show that this scheme is essentially same as the one ...
