This is the first version of the paper. It contains some flaws, corrected in the final version “KAM for the Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation”. I keep this text on the web since its presentation differs a bit from that in the

A method for the radiometric correction of wide field-of-view airborne imagery has been developed that accounts for the angular dependence of the path radiance and atmospheric transmittance functions to remove atmospheric and topographic effects. The first part of processing is the parametric geocoding of the scene to obtain a geocoded, orthorectified image and the view geometry (scan and azimuth angles) for each pixel as described in part 1 of this jointly submitted paper.

Natural disasters do not affect people equally. In fact, a vulnerability approach to disasters would suggest that inequalities in exposure and sensitivity to risk as well as inequalities in access to resources, capabilities and opportunities systematically disadvantage certain groups of people, rendering them more vulnerable to the impact of natural disasters. In this article we address the specific vulnerability of girls and women with respect to mortality from natural disasters and their aftermath. Biological and physiological differences between the sexes are unlikely to explain large-scale gender differences in mortality rates. Social norms and role behavior provide some further explanation, but what is likely to matter most is the everyday socio-economic status of women. We analyze the effect of disaster strength and its interaction with the socio-economic status of women on the change in the gender gap in life expectancy in a sample of up to 141 countries over the period 1981 to 2002. We find, first, that natural disasters lower the life expectancy of women more than that of men. In other words, natural disasters (and their subsequent impact) on average kill more women than men or kill women at an earlier age than men. Since female life expectancy is generally higher than that of

Executive summary For applications such as electronic voting and electronic payments, anonymity and privacy are strictly necessary. In a democratic society public elections will be held anonymously and citizens have a fundamental right to privacy, for example when buying goods or subscribing to services. However, current technologies such as databases, online connections, mobile communications, may lead to an increased erosion of privacy. For the time being no widespread communications and payment technologies are available to provide on-line shopping without giving away a substantial amount of personal information. Applications like email, publishing and web browsing are widely accepted without anonymity properties. This document describes the anonymity requirements of a variety of applications in which anonymity and privacy play an important role: (1) anonymous connections, which
