Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInteger Factorization: Solution via Algorithm for Constrained Discrete Logarithm ProblemBoris S. VerkhovskyProblem statement: During the last thirty years many public-key cryptographic protocols based on either the complexity of integer factorization of large semiprimes or the Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP) have been developed. Approach: Although several factorization algorithms with sub-exponential complexity have been discovered, the recent RSA Factoring Challenge demonstrated that it was still necessary to use several thousand computers working in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Dec 2009 · 7,156 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAccelerated Search for Gaussian Generator Based on Triple Prime IntegersBoris S. Verkhovsky, Md Shiblee SadikProblem statement: Modern cryptographic algorithms are based on complexity of two problems: Integer factorization of real integers and a Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP). Approach: The latter problem is even more complicated in the domain of complex integers, where Public Key Cryptosystems (PKC) had an advantage over analogous encryption-decryption protocols in arithmetic of real integers modulo p: The former PKC have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReducing Broadcast Overhead Using Clustering Based Broadcast Mechanism in Mobile Ad Hoc NetworkN. Karthikeyan, V. Palanisamy, K. DuraiswamyProblem statement: Network wide broadcasting is an important function in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET), which attempts to deliver packets from a source node to all other nodes in the network. Broadcasting is often very useful for route discovery, naming, addressing and helping multicast operations in all kinds of networks. For designing broadcast protocols for ad hoc networks, one of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProgressive Content-Sensitive Data Retrieval in Sensor NetworksBo Yang, Manohar MareboyanaProblem statement: For a sensor network comprising autonomous and self-organizing data sources, efficient similarity-based search for semantic-rich resources (such as video data) has been considered as a challenging task due to the lack of infrastructures and the multiple limitations (such as band-width, storage and energy). While the past research discussed much on routing protocols for sensor networks, few works have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 6,845 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Power Control with Overhearing Avoidance for Wireless Sensor NetworksM. Ramakrishnan, P. Vanaja RanjanProblem statement: Extending lifetime of the battery operated wireless sensor nodes through the design of low power medium access control protocols dealt in this study. Approach: In this study energy efficient Optimal Power Control MAC with Overhearing Avoidance (OPC-OA) was proposed. The transmission power of every node was dynamically changed for the optimal connectivity between nodes. The optimal transmission power … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,131 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHow Does The Bone Shaft Geometry Affect its Bending Properties?Kaveh PourAkbar Saffar, Nima JamilPour, Seyed Mohammad RajaaiIn this research, ten fresh specimens of sheep tibiae were provided from slaughtered animals. Whole bone specimens were loaded in three-point bending according to standard wet bone test protocols. Mechanical properties were determined and compared with the results which were obtained from two dry bone tests. The results showed that fracture bending moment and bone extrinsic stiffness had significant relations … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,148 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Reversible Montgomery Multiplier and Its Application to Hardware CryptographyNoor Muhammed Nayeem, Lafifa Jamal, Hafiz Md. Hasan BabuProblem Statement: Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) of a crypto-processor and microchips leak information through power consumption. Although the cryptographic protocols are secured against mathematical attacks, the attackers can break the encryption by measuring the energy consumption. Approach: To thwart attacks, this study proposed the use of reversible logic for designing the ALU of a crypto-processor. Ideally, reversible circuits do not … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,852 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach to Modeling and Flooding in Ad-hoc Wireless NetworksO. Issaad, S. Pierre, G. I. Ivascu, O. GarciaThis study proposes a new modeling approach for wireless ad-hoc networks. The new approach is based on the construction of fuzzy neighborhoods and essentially consists of assigning a membership or importance degree to each network radio link which reflects the relative quality of this link. This approach is first used to model the flooding problem and then an algorithm is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractErythema Multiforme Minor: A RevisionL. R. Oliveira, S. ZucolotoThe term Erythema Multiforme (EM) includes a wide and controversial variety of clinical expressions at the present time. This study revises the EM minor characteristics according to the most important publications found in literature. Erythema Multiforme is a distinct dermatologic hypersensitivity pathology characterized by cutaneous or mucous lesions and eventually it can also involve both. In their more severe forms, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,306 accessesView PDFCite

GouveiaProblem statement: Applying 15N techniques to accurately determine the fate of fixed ammonium (NH4f) in the strongly and weakly held pools require modifications to existing methodologies. Modifications are necessary for measurement of total NH4f in soils by direct digestion with 5 M HF: 1 M HCl, excluding alkali pretreatment, followed by distillation and quantification of NH4.
