In FSE 2014, an authenticated encryption mode COBRA [4], based on pseudorandom permutation (PRP) blockcipher, and POET [3], based on Almost XOR-Universal (AXU) hash and strong pseudorandom permutation (SPRP), were proposed. Few weeks later, COBRA mode and a simple variant of the original proposal of POET (due to a forging attack [13] on the original proposal) with AES as an underlying blockciph...

The pharmaceutical industry, known for its leadership in scientific innovation and as a darling of investors, is currently encountering serious challenges. Increasing costs, a limited drug pipeline, and the impending loss of patent coverage for ‘blockbuster’ drugs are changing the landscape of pharmaceutical science. Though business leadership will be essential to overcome these challenges, the...

or the nation, virtual care is the care of the future. For Avera Health, virtual care is the care of the present. Situated in America’s northern plains, Avera Health over the last two decades has grown its own telemedicine solutions to many of the challenges of rural health care. As a result, Avera eCARE, a far-reaching and innovative system of technology, may serve as a national model for heal...

Selective laser melting (SLM) can be used to manufacture near net shape (NNS); the main benefits are a remarkable weight reduction, lower environmental impact, opportunity integrate some functions, and an improvement of performances. The current article covers development Ti6Al4V NNS engine component produced by SLM. Finite element analyses relevant operating conditions performed reach topologi...

This paper aims to improve the mechanical properties and fatigue life of AISI/SAE 4140 alloy steel connecting rods (CRs). Conventional CRs are typically manufactured through open die forging/hammering, blocking, hot forging processes. In present work, a modification process route has been proposed such that forging/hammering was completely replaced with multistep asymmetrical reducer rolling te...

In cold forging processes the tribological conditions are very important for process feasibility and tool lifetime. Since boundary and mixed lubrication conditions are predominant in cold forging processes, the appearing real contact area which is influenced significantly by the topography of tool and workpiece has a major impact on the friction conditions. Against the background of current tre...
