In this paper we propose an efficient and compact processor for a ring-LWE based encryption scheme. We present three optimizations for the Number Theoretic Transform (NTT) used for polynomial multiplication: we avoid preprocessing in the negative wrapped convolution by merging it with the main algorithm, we reduce the fixed computation cost of the twiddle factors and propose an advanced memory ...

Introduction: The aims of this study were to evaluate whether menthol smoking and race/ethnicity are associated with nicotine dependence in daily smokers. Methods: The study used two subsamples of U.S. daily smokers who responded to the 2010-2011 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey. The larger subsample consisted of 18,849 non-Hispanic White (NHW), non-Hispanic Black (NHB), ...

Members of the alpha- and beta-subfamily of herpesviridae encode glycoproteins that specifically bind to the Fc part of immunoglobulin (Ig)G. Plasma membrane resident herpesviral Fc receptors seem to prevent virus-specific IgG from activating antibody-dependent effector functions. We show that the mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) molecule fcr-1 promotes a rapid down-regulation of NKG2D ligands muri...

Amongst many types of electrical motors, induction motors still enjoy the same popularity as they did a century ago. Several factors which include robustness, low cost and low maintenance have made them popular for industrial applications when compared to dc and other ac motors. Another aspect in induction motor drives which has been researched recently is the use of mult iphase induction motor...

Image fusion is one of the recent trends in image reg istration which is an essential field of image processing. The basic principle o f this paper is to fuse multi-focus images using simple statistical standard deviation. Firstly, the simple standard deviation for the k×k window inside each of the mult i-focus images was computed. The contribution in this paper came from the idea that the focu...

Nowadays with the increase of demand in multimedia communicat ion, a reliable and error-free wireless communication system is the need of the hour. MC-CDMA is being investigated as a potential radio technology to provide fourth generation (4G) and fifth generation (5G) cellular mobile services. Narrowband interference (NBI) signals corrupts the subcarriers of MC-CDMA system and as a result its ...

By using the order rearrangement of the single photon sequence and unitary transformations, a mult iparty controlled quantum communication scheme for Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection(CSMA/CD) is presented .In this scheme, messages can only be recovered by the receivers with the permission of all controllers .It is shown that the security of messages transformat ion can be ...

One of the most important problems in rule induction methods is how to estimate which method is the best to use in an applied domain. While some methods are useful in some domains, they aTe not useful in other domains. Therefore it is very dificult to choose one of these methods. FOT this purpose, we introduce multiple testing based on recursive iteration of resampling methods for rule-inductio...

Antigen-induced activation of bone marrow-derived (B) lymphocytes involves interactions between specific antigenic determinants and immunoglobulin receptors on the lymphocyte surface (1). Soluble antigens such as serum proteins can trigger B lymphocytes only if thymus-derived (T) cells are provided (2), thus implying a requirement for some element besides a simple antigen-receptor interaction. ...

The general purpose computer has become pervasive and is supporting an increasing number of functions, including music, video, gaming, communications, banking, business, process control, and critical in frastructure. The use of a single computer for mult iple functions, and the interconnection of mult iple computers through a common network have reduced the isolation that protected such functio...
