Masked logic styles use a random mask bit to de-correlate the power consumption of the circuit from the state of the algorithm. The effect of the random mask bit is that the circuit switches between two complementary states with a different power profile. Earlier work has shown that the mask-bit value can be estimated from the power consumption profile, and that masked logic remains susceptible...

We provide a general notion of a Digital Derivative in 1−dimensional grids, which has real or integer-only versions. From any such masks, a family of masks called skipping masks are defined. We prove general results of multigrid convergence for skipping masks. We propose a few examples of digital derivative masks, including the now well-known binomial mask. The corresponding skipping masks auto...

The cloud point extraction behavior of aluminum(III) with 8-quinolinol (HQ) or 2-methyl-8-quinolinol (HMQ) and Triton X-100 was investigated in the absence and presence of 3,5-dichlorophenol (Hdcp). Aluminum(III) was almost extracted with HQ and 4(v/v)% Triton X-100 above pH 5.0, but was not extracted with HMQ-Triton X-100. However, in the presence of Hdcp, it was almost quantitatively extracte...

BACKGROUND The key to successful neonatal resuscitation is effective ventilation. Little evidence exists to guide clinicians in their choice of manual ventilation device or face mask. The expiratory tidal volume measured at the mask (V(TE(mask))) is a good estimate of the tidal volume delivered during simulated neonatal resuscitation. AIM To compare the efficacy of (a) the Laerdal infant resu...

The functions, w = f(z), that describe the transformation of Fresnel's reflection coefficients of parallel and perpendicularly polarized light between normal and oblique incidence, as well as their inverses, z = g(w), are studied in detail as conformal mappings between the complex z and w planes for angles of incidence of 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 degrees . New nomograms are obtained for the deter...

Adaptation to an isotropic pattern of random dots. moving uniformly in one direction. elevates the luminance detection threshold for patterns of test dots moving in various directions. Threshold elevation is maximal whenever test and adaptation directions are the same. and falls to zero for opposite directions. The “tuning curve” for directional selectivity measured in this way is rather broad....

Methods Adult sheep (40kg) were subjected to ischemia reperfusion injury (LAD for 45 min). Six animals underwent invivo CMR 10 days after surgery and were euthanized on the next day for exvivo CMR and histopathological examination. Invivo CMR included: black blood T2 and 2D LGE (in-plane resolution 2mm). Animals were euthanized 10 min after injection of Gadolinium. Heart specimens were sliced a...
