Flow velocity measurements using point-velocity meters are normally obtained by sampling one, two or three velocity points per vertical profile. During high floods their use is inhibited due to the difficulty of sampling in lower portions of the flow area. Nevertheless, the application of standard methods allows estimation of a parameter, α, which depends on the energy slope and the Manning rou...

The position and momentum space information entropies of hydrogen atom are exactly evaluated. Using isospectral Hamiltonian approach, a family of isospectral potentials is constructed having same energy eigenvalues as that of the original potential. The information entropy content is obtained in position space as well as in momentum space. It is shown that the information entropy content in eac...

Extremal black holes in M-theory compactification on M × S are microscopically represented by fivebranes wrapping P × S, where M is a Calabi-Yau threefold and P is a four-cycle in M . Additional spacetime charges arise from momentum around the S and expectation values for the self-dual three-form field strength in the fivebrane. The microscopic entropy of the fivebrane as a function of all the ...

The GGH Graded Encoding Scheme [10], based on ideal lattices, is the first plausible approximation to a cryptographic multilinear map. Unfortunately, using the security analysis in [10], the scheme requires very large parameters to provide security for its underlying “encoding re-randomization” process. Our main contributions are to formalize, simplify and improve the efficiency and the securit...

We consider information-theoretic key agreement between two parties sharing somewhat different versions of a secret w that has relatively little entropy. Such key agreement, also known as information reconciliation and privacy amplification over unsecured channels, was shown to be theoretically feasible by Renner and Wolf (Eurocrypt 2004), although no protocol that runs in polynomial time was d...

The statistical entropy of black holes in M-theory is considered. Using the Matrix formulation of M-theory, we map the counting problem onto the original Gibbons-Hawking calculation of the thermodynamic entropy.

In this paper, analytic solutions of two-dimensional coupled Burgers' equations are obtained by the Homotopy analysis and the Homotopy Pad$acute{e}$ methods. The obtained approximation by using Homotopy method contains an auxiliary parameter which is a simple way to control and adjust the convergence region and rate of solution series. The approximation solutions by $[m,m]$ Homotopy Pad$acute{e...

Jittery clock signals produced in oscillators, particularly in ring oscillators are commonly used as a source of randomness in true random number generators (TRNG). The robustness of the generators, and hence their security, is closely linked to the entropy of the generated bit stream, which depends on the size of the jitter. Known jitter size can be used as an input parameter in a stochastic m...

In this article, we discuss the relationships between thermodynamic quantities and the spatial pattern in a reaction-diffusion model based on the reversible Gray-Scott model. This model is introduced for calculation of the entropy production in a reaction-diffusion system. First, we show the relationship between entropy production and pattern formation, and suggest that the entropy production c...

   An investigation is carried out on MHD stagnation point flow of water-based nanofluids in which the heat and mass transfer includes the effects of slip and convective boundary conditions. Employing the similarity variables, the governing partial differential equations including continuity, momentum, energy, and concentration have been reduced to ordinary ones and solved by using...
