One of the major cipher symmetric algorithms is AES. Its main feature is to use S-BOX step, which is the only non-linear part of this standard possessing fixed structure. During the previous studies, it was shown that AES standard security was increased by changing the design concepts of S-BOX and production of dynamic S-BOX. In this paper, a change of AES standard security is studied by produc...

We have designed and synthesized a molecular dyad comprising a carotenoid pigment linked to a fullerene derivative (C-C(60)) in which the carotenoid acts both as an antenna for the fullerene and as an electron transfer partner. Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy was carried out on the dyad in order to investigate energy transfer and charge separation pathways and efficiencies upon exci...

Single-molecule experiments on polymeric DNA show that the molecule can be overstretched at nearly constant force by about 70% beyond its relaxed contour length. In this publication we use steered molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to study the effect of structural defects on force-extension curves and structures at high elongation in a 30 base pair duplex pulled by its torsionally unconstraine...

It is widely accepted that speech intelligibility improves as a speech signal and interfering masker are separated spatially in azimuth. In a previous study [Westermann et al. (2012), IHCON] a similarly strong improvement was found for normal hearing (NH) listeners when target and masker are separated in distance. In this study speech reception thresholds (SRTs) were measured for 16 hearing imp...

Devising a strategy to make system mimic behaviors from another is problem that naturally arises in many areas of Computer Science. In this work, we interpret the context intelligent agents, perspective ltlf , formalism commonly used AI for expressing finite-trace properties. Our model consists two separated dynamic domains, DA and DB, an LTLf specification formalizes notion mimicking by mappin...

Two sub-systems characterize the early stages of human colour vision, the 'L-M' system that differences L and M cone signals and the 'S' system that differences S cone signals from the sum of L and M cone signals. How do they interact at suprathreshold contrast levels? To address this question we employed the method used by Kingdom et al. (2010) to study suprathreshold interactions between lumi...
