This report presents the results from the completed computation of an algorithm introduced by the authors in [11] for evaluating the provable security of the AES (Rijndael) against linear cryptanalysis. This algorithm, later named KMT2, can in fact be applied to any SPN [8]. Preliminary results in [11] were based on 43% of total computation, estimated at 200,000 hours on our benchmark machine a...

In this paper, we present new techniques which further improve the static compilation-based instruction set architecture (ISA) simulation by the aggressive utilization of the host machine resources. Such utilization is achieved by defining a low-level code-generation interface specialized for ISA simulation, rather than the traditional approaches which use C as a code-generation interface. We a...

The chemical name of the title compound in the paper by Hu & Wang [Acta Cryst. (2009), E65, o392] is corrected and the structural diagram is updated.[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1107/S1600536809002608.].

Proefschrift voorgelegd tot het behalen van de graad van doctor in de wetenschappen, richting informatica aan de transnationale Universiteit Limburg te verdedigen door Preface First of all, I would like to thank Jan Van den Bussche for his support during the last four years. His never ending enthusiasm and advice made this dissertation possible. His intensive use of red ballpoints, learned me, ...

The deoxyuridine (dU) suppression test assesses the capacity of marrow cells or activated lymphocytes to convert exogenous dU into thymidine. In addition, the effect of the added cobalamin or folate on the result is used to determine the nature of the deficiency in megaloblastic marrows. This study shows that folates have a considerable effect on the uptake of labelled thymidine by marrows from...

Hypertensive patients unable to reach blood pressure (BP) targets with antihypertensive monotherapy may be switched to a combination of two medications with complementary modes of action for improved treatment response. This post hoc analysis pools data from 2812 patients, 1891 of whom were not at goal (diastolic BP [DBP] <90 mm Hg) with amlodipine 5 mg (A5) monotherapy who subsequently switche...
