Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Digital Signature Scheme Based on Factoring and Discrete LogarithmsE.S. Ismail, N.M.F. Tahat, R.R. AhmadProblem statement: A digital signature scheme allows one to sign an electronic message and later the produced signature can be validated by the owner of the message or by any verifier. Most of the existing digital signature schemes were developed based on a single hard problem like factoring, discrete logarithm, residuosity or elliptic curve discrete logarithm problems. Although these schemes … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Data Processing on Data QualityA. R. SamihProblem statement: Great attention had been paid on spatial data quality by the scientific community. This was due to the negative impact that a poor spatial data quality had on the competitiveness of an organization. On other hand, we can never obtain good quality data from a poor quality data. In this study, we demonstrate the effects of the different … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,275 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Comparison of Three-Phase Shunt Active Power Filter AlgorithmsMoleykutty George, Kartik Prasad BasuThe usage of parallel converters is ever increasing. However, the voltage and current harmonics, zero-sequence and negative- sequence components of voltage and current and reactive power present in parallel converters give an alarming signal to power system and power electronic engineers. This research discusses performance of three-phase shunt active power filter (APF) system using three different control techniques namely synchronous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,814 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrophobic, Polar and Hydrogen Bonding Based Drug-Receptor Interaction of TetrahydroimidazobenzodiazepinonesV.K. Sahu, A.K.R. Khan, R.K. Singh, P.P. SinghAnti-HIV drug discovery has been increasingly focusing on HIV-1-RT (reverse transcriptase) as a potential therapeutic target. Tetrahydroimidazobenzodiazepinone (TIBO) belongs to non-nucleoside group of reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). A computational chemistry study has been performed on a series of tetrahydroimidazo-benzodiazepinones as HIV-1-NNRT inhibitors. Problem statement: In order to search out new drug of desired activity from the lead compounds, there was … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,839 accessesView PDFCite
