This paper presents a new crypto scheme whose title promises it to be so boring that no-one will bother reading past the abstract. Because of this, the remainder of the paper is left blank.

A new proposal for group key exchange is introduced which proves to be both efficient and secure and compares favorably with state of the art protocols.

background and objective: prostate cancer is a prevalent disease around the world. the prostatic specific antigen (psa) test has recently proved itself as a useful method for the diagnosis and examination of patients with prostatic cancer. the objective of this study was to compare the stability of free psa and total psa in different storage settings. materials and methods: samples were obtaine...

Using the transfer matrix method, we give the exact solution of a deterministic sandpile model for arbitrary N , where N is the size of a single toppling. The oneand two-point functions are given in term of the eigenvalues of an N × N transfer matrix. All the n-point functions can be found in the same way. Application of this method to a more general class of models is discussed. We also presen...

background; musculoskeletal disorders (msds) are among the most prevalent pains which could be ignited via material handling. backpack wearers are among those who may carry heavy loads. since msds mainly originate in school-aged children, students (as the largest group of backpack wearers) are considered more important. the purpose of this study is to design a backpack based on minimization of ...

The printing speed and the electrical performance of the films in thin film transistor devices are listed below each of the images. Copyright Nature ...

Lateral shearing interferometry is a simple and accurate method of measuring the shape of an optical wave front. However, the complex mathematics required in reduction of the interferograms has limited the adoption of this interferometric technique. A data reduction technique using Fourier analysis methods has been developed which makes lateral shearing interferogram reduction more flexible. Th...
