Elliptic curve cryptosystems are expected to be a next standard of public-key cryptosystems. A security level of elliptic curve cryptosystems depends on a difficulty of a discrete logarithm problem on elliptic curves. The security level of a elliptic curve cryptosystem which has a public-key of 160-bit is equivalent to that of a RSA system which has a public-key of 1024-bit. We propose an ellip...

In this paper, a novel implementation of 8x8 Multiplier using 4-2 Compressors is presented; which produces quick results, especially for use in Digital Signal Processors and in Microprocessors. This multiplier uses a new partial-product reduction format which consecutively reduces the maximum output delay. The new design of multiplier requires less number of MOSFET’s compared to Wallace Tree Mu...

The study of the purely leptonic decays ground charged vector mesons is very interesting and significant in determining CKM matrix elements, obtaining decay constant mesons, examining lepton flavor universality, searching for new physics beyond standard model. These are induced by weak interactions within model, usually have small branching ratios, ${\cal B}({\rho}^{-}{\to}{\ell}^{-}{\nu}_{\ell...

The performance of the BD Phoenix Automated Microbiology System (BD Diagnostic Systems, Sparks, Md.) was assessed for identification (ID) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) for the majority of clinically encountered bacterial isolates in a European collaborative two-center trial. A total of 469 bacterial isolates of the genera Staphylococcus (275 isolates), Enterococcus (179 isolate...

This paper proposes an alternate structure for C++ compilers. Type analysis is removed from the compiler and replaced with a type system library which is treated as source code by the compiler. Type computations are embedded in the intermediate language of the compiler, and partial evaluation is used to drive type analysis and template in-stantiation. By making simple changes to the behavior of...

We consider the coupling of compressible and nearly incompressible materials within the framework of mortar methods. Taking into account the locking effect, we use a suitable discretization for the nearly incompressible material and work with a standard conforming discretization elsewhere. The coupling of different discretization schemes in different subdomains are handled by flexible mortar te...

BACKGROUND Computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard in the initial evaluation of the hemodynamically stable patient with suspected liver trauma. However, the adverse effects of radiation exposure are of specific concern in the pediatric population. It is therefore desirable to explore alternative diagnostic modalities. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) are...
