Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are circuits designed to extract physical randomness from the underlying circuit. This randomness depends on the manufacturing process. It differs for each device enabling chip-level authentication and key generation [1] applications. We present a protocol utilizing a PUF for secure data transmission. Parties each have a PUF used for encryption and decryptio...

• The first step in any physiological investigation is to define the problem. If this definition is ambiguous, the experimental results will most probably be inconclusive or may even prove irrelevant. To secure conclusive results, the investigator must select appropriate variables for measurement. Ideally, the terms comprising the definition of the problem should be sufficiently precise to enab...

BACKGROUND Age-related hyperkyphosis has been associated with poor physical function and is a well-established predictor of adverse health outcomes in older women, but its impact on health in older men is less well understood. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate the association of hyperkyphosis and physical function in 2,363 men, aged 71-98 (M = 79) from the Osteoporotic ...

introduction: knee osteoarthritis (ko) is the most common joint disease for which there is no optimal treatment. monochromatic infrared photo energy (mipe) is a relatively new light modality used to reduce pain and increase circulation. low level laser therapy (lllt) is another light modality used to reduce pain in ko. methods: the aim of this study was to compare the effects of the mipe and ll...

this paper describes the effects of induced magnetic field and partial slip on the peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluids in an asymmetric channel. the two dimensional equation of couple stress fluid are simplified by making the assumptions of long wave length and low reynolds number. the exact solutions of reduced momentum equation and magnetic force function have been computed in wave fra...
