Statement 1. HC-128 supports 128-bit key and 128-bit initialization vector. Statement 2. 2 keystream bits can be generated from each key/IV pair. Statement 3. There is no hidden flaw in HC-128. Statement 4. The smallest period is expected to be much larger than 2. Statement 5. Recovering the secret key is as difficult as exhaustive key search. Statement 6. Distinguishing attack requires more th...

Th e conceptual framework of ecostrategies (views and use of landscape) presented here have been used to analyse various cases of nature-based tourism and related activities such as outdoor recreation, outdoor education, nature reserves and conservation. Th e role of the ecostrategies is to illustrate the intersections, confl icts and alliances between diff erent types of nature based tourism a...

This paper presents two attacks against Achterbahn-128/80, the last version of one of the stream cipher proposals in the eSTREAM project. The attack against the 80-bit variant, Achterbahn-80, has complexity 2^{56.32}. The attack against Achterbahn-128 requires 2^{75.4} operations and 2^{61} keystream bits. These attacks are based on an improvement of the attack due to Hell and Johansson against...

HC-128 is an eSTREAM final portfolio stream cipher. Several authors have investigated its security and, in particular, distinguishing attacks have been considered. Still, no one has been able to provide a distinguisher stronger than the one presented by Wu in the original HC128 paper. In this paper we first argue that the keystream requirement in Wu’s original attack is underestimated by a fact...

We analyze the consistency, stability, and convergence of an hp discontinuous Galerkin spectral element method of Kopriva [J. Comput. Phys., 128 (1996), pp. 475–488] and Kopriva, Woodruff, and Hussaini [Internat. J. Numer. Methods Engrg., 53 (2002), pp. 105–122]. The analysis is carried out simultaneously for acoustic, elastic, coupled elastic-acoustic, and electromagnetic wave propagation. Our...

By developing a new method for synthesizing atomically monodisperse Au15 nanoclusters stabilized with glutathione molecules and using the current state-of-the-art methods for synthesizing monodisperse protected Au25 nanoclusters, we investigated their nonlinear optical (NLO) properties after two-photon absorption. The two-photon emission spectra and the first hyperpolarizabilities of these part...

Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) is an important avian pathogen that can cause both respiratory disease and joint inflammation synovitis in poultry, inducing economic losses to the Iranian chicken industry especially breeder farms. The aim of this study was to use the MS specific PCR and culture methods in order to detect of M. synoviae from breeder farms where located in Tehran province. A total of 47...
