The paper introduces a scalable programmable RSA cryptographic processor implemented as IP core in Field Programmable Devices (FPD). The processor is built on three main blocks – an embedded standard microcontroller, a scalable Montgomery Multiplication unit and simple vector adder unit. All blocks are implemented in VHDL as parameterized modules. The IP core is developed as a System on a Chip ...

Caffeine treatment of growing wheat tissues was used to form binucleate or polyploid cells; preprophase microtubules in subsequent division cycles in these and some other abnormal cells were then examined. In root tips, binucleate cells or those with greatly enlarged nuclei usually contained one transverse preprophase band of microtubules; sometimes this was slightly asymmetrical or skew, and l...

An easily manufactured, reduced size, symmetrical printed meander dipole antenna for remote keyless entry (RKE) automotive applications in the 315 MHz frequency band is proposed. The efficiency and directionality of this symmetrical antenna is estimated and compared with the efficiency and directionality of an asymmetrical antenna. Numerical and experimental results are presented. © 2006 Wiley ...

Visual exploration of cyber security datasets is an important and highly relevant field of research. To address the cyber security challenge of the VAST Challenge 2013, we utilized our novel Visual Analytics Suite for Cyber Security (VACS) to visually explore the given datasets using a combination of different visual representations. VACS primarily provides a dashboard view, host-based thumbnai...

This bibliography/review contains my thoughts on many recent articles and books related to the construction and use of scoring rubrics in education. Each annotation/review offers a thumbnail sketch of findings or other information that may be of use to rubric developers and/or users. In several instances, I break the fourth wall to describe personal asides and experiences. Although this work is...

A 47-year-old patient had lesser development of her left limbs and face, smaller left vascular structures, and severe occlusive disease of the left internal carotid, left subclavian, left vertebral and left iliac arteries. In 12 examples of occlusion of a carotid artery, 10/11 with unequal vascular luminal size had the occlusion on the smaller side. Of 20 patients with severe asymmetrical carot...
