Some memristors with metal/insulator/metal (MIM) structure have exhibited random telegraph noise (RTN) current signals, which makes them ideal to build true number generators (TRNG) for advanced data encryption. However, there is still no clear guide on how essential manufacturing parameters like materials selection, thicknesses, deposition methods, and device lateral size can influence the qua...

Generating streams of true random numbers is a critical component many electronic and information systems. The design fully integrated, area power efficient number generators (TRNGs) challenge. We propose lightweight implementation that uses the telegraph noise (RTN) standard MOSFET as entropy source. It not analog-intensive, without traditional post-processing algorithms, generated bit sequenc...

The calcium-binding proteins parvalbumin, calbindin D-28k, calretinin and calcineurin are present in subsets of GABAergic gigantic calyciform presynaptic terminals of the reticular thalamic nucleus (RTN). Previously it was hypothesized that GABA and calcium-binding proteins including parvalbumin are not only colocalized in the same neuron subpopulation, but that GABA synthesis and parvalbumin e...

We motivate and summarize our analysis of hep-th/0610276 in which we consider D7-brane probe embeddings in the Polchinski-Strassler background with N = 2 supersymmetry. The corresponding dual gauge theory is given by the N = 2 theory with fundamental matter. Based on a talk given by C. Sieg at the RTN Workshop 2006, Napoli. ∗[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]...

These notes are an expanded version of a review lecture on closed string tachyon condensation at the RTN workshop in Copenhagen in September 2003. We begin with a lightning review of open string tachyon condensation, and then proceed to review recent results on localized closed string tachyon condensation, focusing on two simple systems, C/Zn orbifolds and twisted circle compactifications.
