Sampling intensity and size to evaluate harvest losses in soybean crops [PDF]
Proper sampling of grain losses during harvesting operations, with reliable and efficient sizing of sample, is necessary for an efficient adjustment of the harvester to avoid harvest losses.

Selecting an Effective Entropy Estimator for Short Sequences of Bits and Bytes with Maximum Entropy
Entropy makes it possible to measure the uncertainty about an information source from the distribution of its output symbols. It is known that the maximum Shannon’s entropy of a discrete source of information is reached when its symbols follow a Uniform ...

Dynamic secret key generation from wireless channel characteristics is a promising technique for physical layer security. One of the important issues in this field is extending the secret key’s length while preserving its uniformity and randomness.

Device-independent randomness expansion against quantum side information [PDF]
The ability to produce random numbers that are unknown to any outside party is crucial for many applications. Device-independent randomness generation1–4 does not require trusted devices and therefore provides strong guarantees of the security of the ...

Threshold Models of Collective Behavior II: The Predictability Paradox and Spontaneous Instigation
Collective behavior can be notoriously hard to predict. We revisited a possible explanation suggested by Granovetter’s classic threshold model: collective behavior can unexpectedly fail, despite a group’s strong interest in the outcome, because of the ...

A Cryptographic Test of Quantumness and Certifiable Randomness from a Single Quantum Device [PDF]
We give a protocol for producing certifiable randomness from a single untrusted quantum device that is polynomial-time bounded. The randomness is certified to be statistically close to uniform from the point of view of any computationally unbounded ...

Taking Rational Numbers at Random
In this article, some prescriptions to define a distribution on the set Q0 of all rational numbers in [0,1] are outlined. We explored a few properties of these distributions and the possibility of making these rational numbers asymptotically equiprobable

HydRand: Efficient Continuous Distributed Randomness
A reliable source of randomness is not only an essential building block in various cryptographic, security, and distributed systems protocols, but also plays an integral part in the design of many new blockchain proposals.
