Proof of Lemma 5: Because both D(q||u) = D(1− q||1− u) and GF(q||u) = GF(1− q||1− u), we can assume u ≥ q without loss of generality. Keeping q fixed, we want to show that the result holds for all u. Note that D(q||q) = GF(q||q) = 0. Thus, differentiating with respect to u, it is sufficient to prove that GF ′(q||u) ≥ D′(q||u)/2 for all u ≥ q,u ≤ 1. We change variables by setting y = u−q. We use...

The multiplication operation in finite fields GF (p) and GF (2) is the most often used and timeconsuming operation in the harware and software realizations of public-key cryptographic systems, particularly elliptic curve cryptography. We propose a new hardware architecture for fast and efficient execution of the multiplication operation in this paper. The proposed architecture is scalable, i.e....

The development of environmental friendly engineering material has received top priority recently. Glass fiber (GF) reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites is one of the most widely used materials in the automotive industry due to its favourable properties. However, the presence of GF has become a major issue in the recycling of GF/PP composites. Considerable efforts have been devoted to find ...

Chen Liu, Haijun Xie, Jun Xu, Chen Jian*, Ren Dai 2 School of Energy and Power Engineering, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology 3 E-mail: [email protected] 4 Abstract: 5 The Gurney flap (GF) is a miniature lift-enhancement device and is usually mounted at the trailing 6 edge of an airfoil. The GF and has been successfully applied to isolated airfoils, multi-element 7 airf...

A small-biased distribution of bit sequences is defined as one withstanding GF (2)-linear tests for randomness, which are linear combinations of the bits themselves. We consider linear combinations over larger fields, specifically, GF (2) for n that divides the length of the bit sequence. Indeed, this means that we partition the bits to blocks of length n and treat each block as the representat...

Cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix is required to execute growth factor (GF)-mediated cell behaviors, such as proliferation. A major underlying mechanism is that cell adhesion enhances GF-mediated intracellular signals, such as extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk). However, because GFs use distinct mechanisms to activate Ras-Erk signaling, it is unclear whether adhesion-mediated e...

A method for the determination of three furocoumarins containing two new chemicals (GF-I-1 and GF-I-4) in commercially available grapefruit juice and grapefruit itself was developed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These components isolated from grapefruit juice have 5-geranyloxyfurocoumarin dimer structures showing extremely high affinities for a form of cytochrome P450 (CY...

Recently, age-related hippocampal (HP) volume loss could be associated with a decrease in general fluid intelligence (gF). In the present study we investigated whether and how extensive musical training modulates human HP volume and gF performance. Previously, some studies demonstrated positive effects of musical training on higher cognitive functions such as learning and memory, associated wit...

Germ-free (GF) and conventional (CV) adult rats were given for 4 weeks a semi-synthetic diet containing 10 p. 100 lactose (L) or no lactose (LO). The axenic state had an unfavourable effect on sodium and potassium absorption. On the contrary, it increased the absorption and retention of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. The favourable effect of lactose on magnesium metabolism was not different...

Pairings on elliptic curves over finite fields are crucial for constructing various cryptographic schemes. The ηT pairing on supersingular curves over GF(3) is particularly popular since it is efficiently implementable. Taking into account the Menezes-Okamoto-Vanstone (MOV) attack, the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in GF(3) becomes a concern for the security of cryptosystems using ηT pairing...
