HYbrid Network Engineering Software (HYNES)

A management-plane solution that monitors aggregate traffic (e.g., by reading SNMP MIBs) and decides where to add circuits (network engineering) and/or which IP traffic to reroute (traffic engineering) is not likely to have much value in ESnet because average loading on ESnet links is light (5-10%). Inspite of these light loads, ESnet deployed a dynamic-circuit network called the Science Data N...

Practical Attacks on HB and HB+ Protocols

HB and HB+ are a shared secret-key authentication protocols designed for low-cost devices such as RFID tags. HB+ was proposed by Juels and Weis at Crypto 2005. The security of the protocols relies on the learning parity with noise (LPN) problem, which was proven to be NP-hard. The best known attack on LPN by Levieil and Fouque [13] requires subexponential number of samples and sub-exponential n...

Molecular and haematological characterization of compound Hb E/Hb Pyrgos and Hb E/Hb J-Bangkok in Thai patients.

We describe haematological and DNA characterization of haemoglobinopathies in Thai adolescents caused by compound heterozygosities for Hb E [beta26(B8) Glu-Lys] and two other beta-globin chain variants, Hb Pyrgos [beta83(EF7) Gly-Asp] and Hb J Bangkok [beta56(D7) Gly-Asp]. Hb analysis demonstrated that although these two beta-chain variants have separated elution profiles on liquid chromatograp...

Hb in Diabetic Patients with Normal ( Hb A ) and Abnormal ( Hb S and Hb C ) Hemoglobins , as Measured

In a recent study (1 ) of diabetic patients with hemoglobins S and C (Hb S and Hb C), we showed a significant decrease in the proportion of glycosylated Hb, as measured by cation-exchange chromatography. We suggested ( I ) that these low values for glycosylated Hb might be caused by the inability of either Hb S or Hb C to undergo glycosylation or by their failure to be eluted from the column wi...
