Abstract The Weighted Influence Nonlinear Measurement System (WINGS) method originates from DEMATEL, which has the advantage of analyzing interweaved determinants and causal relationships within them. innovation is mainly reflected in considering both strength influencing factors themselves relationship their mutual influence. To address problems ambiguity assessing information uncertainty judg...

In this research in numerical analysis software packages SIGMA / W based on the finite element method was to have been used. For this purpose, during the construction of the dam Kaboodval using behavioral models elastic - plastic and elastic non-homogeneous, non-linear elastic, linear elastic been analyzed and pore pressure, stresses in the body and its meeting with the Data Tools the compariso...

After spending two postdoctoral years each in the laboratories of Jun-ichi Tomizawa in Tokyo and Dick Epstein in Geneva, David Shub joined the faculty of the Biology Department at the University at Albany, SUNY, where he has been ever since. For the past 17 years his lab has explored the self-splicing group I introns in bacteria and phages, with emphasis on their origin, distribution, and funct...

The development of flapping-wing micro air vehicles (MAVs) demands a systematic exploration of the available design space to identify ways in which the unsteady mechanisms governing flapping-wing flight can best be utilized for producing optimal thrust or maneuverability. Mimicking the wing kinematics of biological flight requires examining the potential effects of wing morphology on flight per...

The paper presents work on testing of inflatable wings for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Inflatable wing history and recent research is discussed. Design and construction of inflatable wings is then covered, along with ground and flight testing. Discussions include predictions and correlations of the forces required to warp (twist) the wings to a particular shape and the aerodynamic forces g...

SPHINCS is a recently proposed stateless hash-based signature scheme and promising candidate for a post-quantum secure digital signature scheme. In this work we provide a comparison of the performance when instantiating SPHINCS with different cryptographic hash functions on both recent Intel and AMD platforms found in personal computers and the ARMv8-A platform which is prevalent in mobile phon...
