Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Investigation of Tradeoffs in Herbicide Resistant Brassica rapa: Effects on Pollen and Ovule Production, Biomass and DevelopmentRobin Bingham, Pamela King, Andrew G. KeckFor decades, herbicides have been used to control weeds and increase crop yields, a practice resulting in a growing number of weeds that are herbicide resistant. Like the problem of antibiotic resistance for medicine, herbicide resistant weeds present a significant agricultural challenge. To meet this challenge, we need management strategies informed by a more complete understanding of the biology of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 20 Jan 2017 · 7,824 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVideo Streaming in Peer-to-Peer Networks Using Network Coding Renders Efficient Video Cassette Recorder OperationsR. Arockia Xavier Annie, K. V. Pradeepthi, P. YogeshProblem statement: Major technological development in recent years has led to the usage of shared streaming solutions by Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Video-on-Demand (VoD) systems in the Internet. Video streaming in P2P network systems has ample amount of loss of video packets due to network disabilities such as congestion, intrusion, connectivity problems, excessive network collisions etc. Adding onto the video streaming problems, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 24 Aug 2012 · 6,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Chaotic Block Cipher for Real-Time MultimediaN. Radha, M. VenkatesuluProblem statement: The widespread use of image, audio and video data makes media content protection increasingly necessary and important. We propose a naive approach which treats the multimedia signal to be protected as a text and use proposed encryption design to encrypt the whole data stream. Upon reception, the entire cipher text data stream would be decrypted and playback can … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 27 Apr 2012 · 7,306 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Hybrid Mobile Agent Protocol for Wireless Multihop Internet AccessA. Velmurugan, R. RajaramInternet-based Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) is an emerging technology that supports self-organizing mobile networking infrastructures. This is expected to be of great use in commercial applications for the next generation Internet users. A number of technical challenges are faced today due to the heterogeneous, dynamic nature of this hybrid MANET. A new hybrid routing scheme AODV_ALMA is proposed, which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHighly Efficient Elliptic Curve Crypto-Processor with Parallel GF(2m) Field MultipliersTurki F. Al-Somani, M. K. Ibrahim, Adnan GutubThis study presents a high performance GF(2m) Elliptic Curve Crypto-processor architecture. The proposed architecture exploits parallelism at the projective coordinate level to perform parallel field multiplications. In the proposed architecture, normal basis representation is used. Comparisons between the Projective, Jacobian and Mixed coordinate systems using sequential and parallel designs are presented. Results show that parallel designs using normal basis gives … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 6,874 accessesView PDFCite
