The GeneChip 3’ IVT Express Kit is the newest option for generating target for Affymetrix 3’ expression arrays. The 3’ IVT Express Kit utilizes the same basic chemistry as GeneChip One-Cycle Target Labeling and Control Reagents, but employs a simplified workflow and optimized reagents that enable lower RNA input and increased ease of use. In this white paper, we describe the technical performan...

A mutant of Salmonella typhimurium was found to be sensitive to killing by coliphage T7 because of an alteration in its surface properties. However, the infections were abortive and studies with (32)P-labeled T7 grown in Escherichia coli B (T7.B) indicated that the phage DNA was restricted by S. typhimurium. When a mutant T7 which survived the restriction and produced plaques on Salmonella (T7....

Implementing the shuffle proof of a verifiable mix-net is one of the most challenging tasks in the implementation of an electronic voting system. For non-specialists, even if they are experienced software developers, this task is nearly impossible to fulfill without spending an enormous amount of resources into studying the necessary cryptographic theory. In this paper, we present one of the ex...

One way to guarantee security against malicious voting servers is to use NIZK shuffle arguments. Up to now, only two NIZK shuffle arguments in the CRS model have been proposed. Both arguments are relatively inefficient compared to known random oracle based arguments. We propose a new, more efficient, shuffle argument in the CRS model. Importantly, its online prover’s computational complexity is...

In this paper, we propose a proof scheme of shuffle, which is an honest verifier zero-knowledge proof of knowledge such as the protocols by Groth and Furukawa. Unlike the previous schemes proposed by Furukawa-Sako, Groth, and Furukawa, our scheme can be used as the shuffle of the elements encrypted by Paillier’s encryption scheme, which has an additive homomorphic property in the message part. ...

The shuffle index provides confidentiality guarantees for accesses to externally outsourced data. In this paper, we extend the shuffle index with support for access control, that is, for enforcing authorizations on data. Our approach bases on the use of selective encryption and on the organization of data and authorizations in two shuffle indexes. Our proposal enables owners to regulate access ...

The width, Peierls barrier and stress for shuffle screw dislocation in Si and Ge have been calculated by the improved P-N theory. The calculated widths are about 0.6b, b is the Burgers vector. The Peierls barriers for shuffle screw dislocations in Si and Ge are respectively about 3.61~4.61meV/Å and 5.31~13.32meV/Å, Peierls stresses are 1.40~2.07 meV/Å and 1.93~3.29 meV/Å. Our calculated results...
