Scalar point multiplication has encountered significant attention in Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) which is gaining popularity due to providing same level security with smaller key sizes compared to traditional cryptosystems, such as Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman (RSA). Point multiplication (KP) in ECC is basically performed on point addition and point doubling on elliptic cur...

This paper presents a method for representing jazz piano knowledge that is based on the deductive object-oriented (DOO) approach. One of the motivations behind this research is the desire to clarify which elements of musical knowledge can be handled by our current knowledge processing (KP) techniques and which problems should be challenged in order to develop more practical KP techniques. The p...

BACKGROUND Bloodstream infections (BSI) due to carbapenem-resistant (C-R) Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) are of global concern from both clinical and public health standpoints. This retrospective study aimed to describe C-R Kp BSI epidemiology in a large teaching hospital in northern Italy. METHODS Between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2014, annual incidences both of C-R Kp BSI and of carbapenem...

We present a business process performance evaluation approach based on a hierarchy of interacting analytical performance models from semanticoriented key performance indicator model through to the resource allocation optimisation model. Discussion of the human-centric process performance evaluation supported by the state-of-the-art presentation provides the motivation for our research work. Pre...

Two distinct hemolysins were demonstrated in Vibrio parahaemolyticus. A thermostable direct hemolysin purified from V. parahemolyticus WP-1, a Kanagawa phenomenon (KP)-positive strain, is antigenically different from a thermolabile hemolysin produced by V. parahaemolyticus T-3454, a KP-negative strain. The thermostable direct hemolysin was found in KP-positive strains but not in KP-negative str...

This paper focuses on designing elliptic curve crypto-accelerators in GF (2m) that are cryptographically scalable and hold some degree of reconfigurability. Previous work in elliptic curve crypto-accelerators focused on implementations using projective coordinate systems for specific field sizes. Their performance, scalar point multiplication per second (kP/s), was determined primarily by the u...

results doctor sheikh hospital has been shifting variably between the second and third quadrants; hashemi nejad hospital was moved to the third quadrant in 2006 to 2011 and finally to the first quadrant in 2011. the status of shariati hospital and omolbanin hospital remained constant in the first and second quadrants during these six years. finally, the khatamolanbiya hospital was moved from th...
