---------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT------------------------------------------------------Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher system is widely used in cryptographic applications. The main core of AES block cipher is the substitution table or SBox. This S-box is used to provide confusion capability for AES. In addition, to strengthen the S-Box against algebraic...

quasicrystals are a group of materials with the quasi-periodic structure, and since their discovery in 1980 their specially interesting physical properties have attracted the attention of many researchers. the lack of translational periodicity makes the numerical calculations of their physical properties much more difficult than the crystalline solids. in this work we present a detailed numeric...

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy ~XPS! and Auger electron spectroscopy ~AES! were used to identify gas reaction layers and tribochemical films formed during reciprocating sliding tests in an ultrahigh vacuum ~UHV! tribometer. Tests were performed on UHV cleaned SiC pins and Mo flats during or after exposure to SO2 , O2 , or H2S gas at pressures around 40 Pa. XPS identified the gas reaction laye...

In the present era of high speed communication, wireless technology plays a predominant role in data transmission. In the timeline of wireless domain, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee are some of the standards used in today’s wireless medium. In addition, WiMax is introduced by IEEE as IEEE 802.16 standard for long distance communication, and mobile WiMax as 802.16e. WiMax is an acronym of worldwide in...

Clinical trials in chronic pain have used various methods to assess the effect of medications. In addition to measuring symptom relief, researchers must also address adverse events (AEs) associated with the medication to evaluate overall therapeutic results. This paper reviews methods of measuring symptoms and AEs, including passive capture, scripted prompting, prospective assessments of side e...

INTRODUCTION Vandetanib has recently demonstrated clinically meaningful benefits in patients with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). Given the potential for long-term vandetanib therapy in this setting, in addition to treatment for disease-related symptoms, effective management of related adverse events (AEs) is vital to ensure patient compliance and ma...

A major cause of cancer death is its metastasis to the vital organs. Few effective therapies are available for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (PCa), and progressive metastatic lesions such as lymph nodes and bones cause mortality. We recently identified AES as a metastasis suppressor for colon cancer. Here, we have studied the roles of AES in PCa progression. We analyzed the re...

BACKGROUND We assessed cardiac adverse events (AEs) after primary lower extremity arterial revascularization (LEAR) for critical lower limb ischemia (CLI) in order to evaluate the impact of cardiac AEs on the clinical outcome. We created an optimized care protocol concerning CLI patients' preoperative work-up as well as intra- and postoperative surveillance according to recent important literat...
