At Crypto 2008, Shamir introduced a new algebraic attack called the cube attack, which allows us to solve black-box polynomials if we are able to tweak the inputs by varying an initialization vector. In a stream cipher setting where the filter function is known, we can extend it to the cube attack with annihilators: By applying the cube attack to Boolean functions for which we can find low-degr...

The authors examined anticipation in tool use, focusing on tool length and tool-use posture. Adults (9 women and 9 men in each experiment) held a rod (length 0.4-0.8 m), with the tip upward; walked toward a cube; chose a place to stop; and displaced the cube with the rod's tip. In 2 experiments, rod length, mass, and mass distribution, and the size of the cube were manipulated. Chosen distance ...

Unilateral neglect is a disorder involving difficulty in attending to the side of space contralesional to brain injury. Two recent experiments have shown that task-irrelevant background motion reduces neglect on line bisection tasks; however, task-relevant motion has not been assessed. We investigated the effect of task-relevant object motion on left neglect using a moving cube presented on a c...

We consider simple cube-curves in the orthogonal 3D grid of cells. The union of all cells contained in such a curve (also called the tube of this curve) is a polyhedrally bounded set. The curve’s length is defined to be that of the minimum-length polygonal curve (MLP) fully contained and complete in the tube of the curve. So far only one general algorithm called rubber-band algorithm was known ...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a computational technology that enables researchers to study the dynamics of things that flow. By using CFD, it is possible to build a computational model that represents a system under study. It not only predicts fluid flow behavior, but also the transfer of heat, mass, phase change, chemical reaction, mechanical movement, and stress or deformation of ...

In this paper, we present a novel full cube computation and representation approach, named MCG. A data cube can be defined as a lattice of cuboids. In our approach, each cuboid is seen as a set of sub-graphs. Redundant suffixed nodes in such sub-graphs are quite common, but their elimination is a hard problem as some previous cube approaches demonstrate. MCG approach computes a data cube in two...

Résumé. Dans un système décisionnel, la composante visuelle est importante pour l’analyse en ligne OLAP. Dans cet article, nous proposons une nouvelle approche qui permet d’apporter une solution au problème de visualisation des données engendré par l’éparsité. En se basant sur les résultats d’une analyse des correspondances multiples (ACM), nous tentons d’atténuer l’effet négatif de l’éparsité ...

We define an interconnection network AQn,k which we call the augmented kary n-cube by extending a k-ary n-cube in a manner analogous to the existing extension of an n-dimensional hypercube to an n-dimensional augmented cube. We prove that the augmented k-ary n-cube AQn,k has a number of attractive properties (in the context of parallel computing). For example, we show that the augmented k-ary n...

The crossed cube is one of the most notable variations of hypercube, but some properties of the former are superior to those of the latter. For example, the diameter of the crossed cube is almost the half of that of the hypercube. In this paper, we focus on the problem embedding a Hamiltonian cycle through an arbitrary given edge in the crossed cube. We give necessary and sufficient condition f...
