A periodical multi-secret threshold cryptosystem enables a sender to encrypt a message by using a cyclical sequence of keys which are shared by n parties and periodically updated. The same keys appear in the same order in each cycle, and thus any subset of t + 1 parties can decrypt the message only in the periodical time-frames, while no subset of t corrupted parties can control the system (in ...

Following in the footsteps of the Stockport Research Group, who made extensive use of probate inventories in their Stockport in the mid-seventeenth century, 1660– 1669 (S. McKenn and C. Nunn eds, Stockport, 1992), Paul Anderton provides a detailed analysis of 59 Nantwich inventories for the same decade along similar lines, with special reference to agriculture. Comparisons are made between Nant...

This paper presents a study to identify the type and location of yarn periodical errors applying three different signal processing approaches based on FFT – Fast Fourier Transform, FWHT-Fast Walsh-Hadamard Transform and FDFI – Fast Impulse Frequency Determination. The errors determination is applied for the mass measurement of yarn using a capacitive sensor and for the measurement of yarn diame...

This thesis analyses the computational capabilities of cellular au-tomata working on periodical con gurations of any dimension. We rst studythe maximal objects these cellular automata can identify ; we call those objectsprimitive roots of periodical con gurations of any dimension. We characterizethem and show some of their properties.Secondly, we present a set of algorithms ...

this article elaborates on the role of the periodical fund of the national library named after m. f. akhundov in the development of the azerbaijani culture and science through a short survey of the funding history. the main goal of this article is to create a comprehensive historical scene of the periodical fund of this library which was established in the first half of the twentieth century an...

The present experiment was conducted to determine 1) the repeatability of Warner-Bratzler shear force and trained sensory panel tenderness ratings in beef round cuts and 2) the effect of location within beef round cuts on shear force and tenderness ratings. Biceps femoris (BF) and semitendinosus (ST) were obtained from the carcasses of youthful (A-maturity), grain-fed, crossbred steers (n = 25)...

A 27-year-old Hispanic woman presented with a breast lump, fever, joint pain, and a rash over her anterior shins.

STUDY DESIGN Case series. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Dow University of Health Sciences and Civil Hospital and Bantva Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan, from January 2009 to December 2011. METHODOLOGY Patients w...

The present experiments were conducted to determine 1) the relationship between shear force and overall tenderness of 10 major beef muscles, 2) the effect of Bos indicus inheritance on the tenderness of various beef muscles, 3) whether differences in tenderness between genotype are affected by method of cookery, and 4) the relationship between tenderness of the longissimus and tenderness of oth...

An international multidisciplinary panel of experts in the management of the menopause met at the 4th Amsterdam Menopause Symposium in October 2004 to determine the specific place of tibolone, a synthetic steroid with a unique clinical profile, within the wide range of currently available postmenopausal therapy options. The consensus was that tibolone is a valuable treatment option for women wi...
