โฆ Synopsis
A metering scheme is a method by which an audit agency is able to measure the interaction between servers (e.g., web servers) and clients (e.g., browsers) during a certain number of time frames. Metering schemes involve distributing information to clients and servers. Obviously, such information distribution affects the overall communication complexity. A metering scheme is said to be optimal if the information distributed to clients and servers is the minimum possible.

## In 2001, Harn and Lin [4] proposed a non-repudiation metering scheme. In this paper, we reveal two security weaknesses in their scheme, which could make the scheme either too inefficient or incapable of presenting the exact visiting number of a server. An improved scheme will be presented in th
The highest possible minimal norm of a unimodular lattice is determined in dimensions n 33. There are precisely five odd 32-dimensional lattices with the highest possible minimal norm (compared with more than 8.10 20 in dimension 33). Unimodular lattices with no roots exist if and only if n 23, n{25
A voting system is a rule which assigns to every possible combination of votes (by any number of individuals) an alternative. We define the notion of asymptotic nonmanipulability for voting systems, and prove that every representable positiormlist voting system is asymptotically nonmanipulable. Vari
