This paper presents a merged multiplyaccumulate (MAC) hardware that is based on the modified Booth algorithm. The carry-save method is used in the Booth encoder, the Booth multiplier, and the accumulator sections to guarantee the fastest possible. By combining multiplication with accumulation and devising a hybrid type of carry save adder (CSA), the performance was improved. Also, the proposed ...

The Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) Message Authentication Code (MAC) is an authentication method which is widely used in practice. It is well known that the naive use of CBC MAC for variable length messages is not secure, and a few thumb rules for the correct use of CBC MAC are known by \folklore". The rst rigorous proof of the security of CBC MAC, when used on xed length messages, was given only ...

BACKGROUND Sevoflurane potently enhances glycine receptor currents and more modestly decreases NMDA receptor currents, each of which may contribute to immobility. This modest NMDA receptor antagonism by sevoflurane at a minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) could be reciprocally related to large potentiation of other inhibitory ion channels. If so, then reduced glycine receptor potency should in...

Abstract. Long-term measurements of atmospheric mass concentrations black carbon (BC) are needed to investigate changes in its emission, transport, and deposition. However, depending on instrumentation, parameters related BC such as aerosol absorption coefficient (babs) have been measured instead. Most ground-based babs the Arctic made by filter-based photometers, including particle soot photom...

background: in pediatric resuscitation, it is necessary to distinguish the weight in order to provide proper doses of drugs, equipment selection, and ventilator settings, therefore, access to a simple, unbiased, and accurate formula can decrease mistakes. the aim of this study is to determine the percentage of error (pe) of different weight estimation methods toward actual weight in children  a...

Central extensions of the three-dimensional translation group T ≃ Z3 by the unitary group U(1) (a group of factors) are considered within the frame of the Mac Lane method. All nonzero vectors t ∈ T are considered to be generators of T . This choice leads to very illustrative relations between the Mac Lane method and Zak’s approach to magnetic translation groups. It is shown that factor systems ...

Cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS), where vehicles cooperate by exchanging messages wirelessly to avoid, for example, hazardous road traffic situations, receive a great deal of attention throughout the world currently. Many C-ITS applications will utilize the wireless communication technology IEEE 802.11p, which offers the ability of direct communication between vehicles, i.e., a...
