Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRandomness Analysis of DES Ciphers Produced with Various Dynamic ArrangementsMalik Qasaimeh, Raad S. Al-QassasOver the past few years, researchers have devoted efforts to enhance the original DES encryption algorithm. These enhancements focus on improving multiple perspectives of the algorithm through enhancing its internal components to deliver a robust DES variant against different kinds of typical attacks such as linear and differential crypto analysis, in addition to the newly evolved attacks such as differential … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 12 · 15 Dec 2017 · 7,161 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCHRONIC NEONATAL DIAZOXIDE THERAPY IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ADVERSE EFFECTSMichele M. Cox, Christopher C. Wendler, Ildiko Erdelyi et al.Diazoxide is an ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) agonist that has been shown to neuroprotective effects. These observations raise the possibility that diazoxide may have potential as a therapeutic agent for other applications. This study investigated (1) the long term effects of chronic neonatal administration of diazoxide and (2) the role of KATP on murin behavior and neurohistology. C57B/6J pups were … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2014 · 7,447 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAUTOMATIC SEGMENTATION OF SKIN LESIONS USING HISTOGRAM THRESHOLDINGNidhal Khdhair El Abbadi, Abbas Hussien MiryAutomatic lesion segmentation is an important part of computer-based image analysis of pigmented skin lesions. Currently, there is a great interest in the development of Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems for dermoscopic images. The segmentation step is one of the most important ones, since its accuracy determines the eventual success or failure of a CAD system. This study introduced new method … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2013 · 7,559 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Compressed Natural Gas Engine for Nitrogen Oxides ReductionP. M. Diaz, B. Durga PrasadProblem statement: This study describes the use of Reformer Gas (RG) to alter NOx emission in a CNG-fueled HCCI engine. Comparison with diesel, natural gas has a very high octane number (≈120) and high auto-ignition temperature (≈600°C). Composed mostly of methane, natural gas is the only common fuel to manifest relatively pure, single-stage combustion. Other fuels have stronger low-temperature reaction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 15 May 2012 · 7,298 accessesView PDFCite
