This paper provides a unified framework for improving PRF (pseudorandom function) advantages of several popular MACs (message authentication codes) based on a blockcipher modeled as RP (random permutation). In many known MACs, the inputs of the underlying blockcipher are defined to be some deterministic affine functions of previously computed outputs of the blockcipher. Keeping the similarity i...

CD132 is the common gamma chain to a number of cytokine receptor complexes including that for IL-2. To identify the functional domain of chicken CD132 (chCD132), the cDNA of chCD132 was cloned, and a neutralizing monoclonal antibody, raised against a recombinant chCD132 protein, was identified by inhibition of IL-2-dependent proliferation of T cells. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that chCD13...

Property 1. When 0 < q ≤ 1, we have c t0D q t x t t0D q t x t − x t0 Γ ( 1 − q t − t0 −q. 2.3 In particular, if x t0 0, we have c t...

We report an unusual combination of features comprising delayed tooth eruption and closure of the anterior fontanel as the sole presenting features in a child with cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD). Radiological survey revealed the presence of wormian bones in the skull, pseudoepiphysis at the base of the bilateral second metacarpal, and midline ossification defects at pubic symphysis in the presen...

Let [c, d] be an interval on the real line and μ be a measure of the form dμ = μ̇dω[c,d] with μ̇ = h~, where ~(t) = (t − c)c(d − t)d , αc, αd ∈ [0, 1/2), h is a Dini-continuous non-vanishing function on [c, d] with an argument of bounded variation, and ω[c,d] is the normalized arcsine distribution on [c, d]. Further, let p and q be two polynomials such that deg(p) < deg(q) and [c, d] ∩ z(q) = ∅, ...

We use a modified Shan-Chen, noiseless lattice-BGK model for binary immiscible, incompressible, athermal fluids in three dimensions to simulate the coarsening of domains following a deep quench below the spinodal point from a symmetric and homogeneous mixture into a two-phase configuration. The model is derivable from a continuous-time Boltzmann-BGK equation in the presence of an intercomponent...

coming from the cokernels of the rst column. These are cyclic (pro-cyclic in the limit) and are generated by the image of q t. So, lim A(K t)=NA(K n;t) = ?=< (q t ; L t =K t) > where (q t ; L t =K t) is the norm residue symbol of q t for the extension L t =K t. We write Q t for the image of (q t ; L t =K t) under the isomorphism ? ! Z p induced by sending to 1. Note that although Q t is not can...
