Recent research shows that the class of Rotation Symmetric Boolean Functions (RSBFs), i.e., the class of Boolean functions that are invariant under circular translation of indices, are potentially rich in functions of cryptographic significance. Here we present new results regarding the Rotation Symmetric (rots) correlation immune (CI) and bent functions. We present important data structures fo...

In 1999, Pieprzyk and Qu presented rotation symmetric (RotS) functions as components in the rounds of hashing algorithm. Later, in 2002, Cusick and Stănică presented further advancement in this area. This class of Boolean functions are invariant under circular translation of indices. In this paper, using Burnside’s lemma, we prove that the number of n-variable rotation symmetric Boolean functio...

ABSTRACT Fusarium verticillioides, F. proliferatum, and Aspergillus flavus cause ear rots of maize and contaminate the grain with mycotoxins (fumonisin or aflatoxin). The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between resistance to Fusarium and Aspergillus ear rots and fumonisin and aflatoxin contamination. Based on a previous study of 143 recombinant inbred lines from the...

In mobile environment, the asymmetric communication between mobile clients and server is a distinguishing feature. The conventional query processing mechanisms cannot be directly applied. In this research, we investigate the approach of using separate processing for read-only transactions (ROTs). Since ROTs have a significant proportion in several applications like traffic information service, ...

Diseases caused by root rots figure prominently amongst the most-studied pathologies of forest trees. Indeed, root and butt rots cause more economic damage to commercial forestry in the temperate world than any other known type of disease. While this notoriety underlines the negative impact of this type of disease on timber production, a much more dynamic and positive role can be assigned to ro...

In the internet environment, computers-based information systems are being employed to maintain large amounts of information to meet different users’ information requirements. The users interact with the system by inserting/updating/querying the required information. The information systems process the user requests by executing the update transactions (UTs) for inserts/updates and readonly tra...

In the emerging web databases and e-commerce scenario, information systems have to meet intensive information requirements from a large number of users. These information systems receive both update transactions (UTs) and read-only transactions (ROTs). A UT contains both read and write operations and an ROT contains only read operations. Designing efficient protocols to process ROTs is a resear...

Differential expression analysis is one of the most common types of analyses performed on various biological data (e.g. RNA-seq or mass spectrometry proteomics). It is the process that detects features, such as genes or proteins, showing statistically significant differences between the sample groups under comparison. A major challenge in the analysis is the choice of an appropriate test statis...

Drosophila buzzatii is confined to reproducing in a well defined patchy environment consisting of rotting cactus cladodes which are ephemeral, permitting at most three generations. Flies emerging from such rots were used to estimate the additive genetic variance within rots and the genetic variance between rots for body size and also were electrophoresed to determine their genotypes at six poly...

Identification of reliable molecular markers that show differential expression between distinct groups of samples has remained a fundamental research problem in many large-scale profiling studies, such as those based on DNA microarray or mass-spectrometry technologies. Despite the availability of a wide spectrum of statistical procedures, the users of the high-throughput platforms are still fac...
