Authenticated encryption schemes in practice have to be robust against adversaries that have access to various types of leakage, for instance decryption leakage on invalid ciphertexts (protocol leakage), or leakage on the underlying primitives (side channel leakage). This work includes several novel contributions: we augment the notion of nonce-base authenticated encryption with the notion of c...

Taste buds are sensory structures made up by tightly packed, specialized epithelial cells called taste cells. Taste cells are functionally heterogeneous, and a large proportion of them fire action potentials during chemotransduction. In view of the narrow intercellular spaces within the taste bud, it is expected that the ionic composition of the extracellular fluid surrounding taste cells may b...

bonding to dentin is a promising property, which can prevent leakage and improve the sealing ability of endodontic filling materials. resilon was developed and recommended initially because the existing root canal filling materials did not bond to root canal dentin. since its introduction in 2004, numerous reports have been published regarding various aspects of this material. this article aime...

Abstract: Chemical storage tank leakage in petrochemical wharf is a serious economic, environmental and safety problem. Risk assessment is an effective way to identify chemical storage tank hazards and provides a guide for accident prevention in petrochemical wharf enterprises. Based on the characteristics of chemical storage tank zone, this paper proposes a real-time relative risk assessment m...

A primary hepatocyte culture was used as a model system to assess the toxicity of various chemical substances. Chemical substances tested in this experiment included 14 kinds of organic solvents, arsenic acid and N-nitrosodiumethylamine, most of which are known as hepatotoxic materials. Enzyme (GPT and LDH) leakage and albumin secreted from the hepatocytes to culture medium were measured to eva...

Hazardous chemical is the chemical product in chemical industry. Hazardous chemicals are often toxic. Some hazardous chemicals are corrosive, or easily lead to explosion. In the process of production, storage and transportation, hazardous chemicals can easily lead to leakage or explosion accidents. These result in a large number of casualties and damage to the surrounding environment. Logistics...

a comprehensive study on the chemical composition of rainwater was carried out in obuasi, a gold mining town in ghana. rainwater samples were analyzed for major ions (ca2+,mg2+, k+, na+, nh4+, cl-, no3- and so4 2-) and trace metals (fe, al, zn, pb, cr, and cd). the rainwater was typically acidic with a mean ph of 4.76±0.47, which ranged from 4.0 to 5.6. the low ph found in the water suggests t...

the oil extracted from three major canola cultivars (hyolla401, hyolla420 and rgs003) grown in golestan province was analyzed for physico-chemical properties, fatty acid composition, minerals content, and stability during 16 weeks of storage. according to the results, the highest iodine value and refractive index belonged to hyolla401. the highest saponification value was observed in hyolla420....

objectives: evaluation of therapeutic effects of carum copticum (c. copticum) has been the subject of several studies in recent years. thymol the major component of c. copticum is a widely known anti-microbial agent. in this study, the antibacterial and anti viral activities of essential oil of c. copticum fruit were determined. materials and methods: essential oil of c. copticum was analyzed b...

background artemisia aerial parts are well known for antimicrobial activities including anti malaria. objectives this study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and chemical composition of essential oil from the seeds of artemisia aucheri boiss (asteraceae). materials and methods essential oil was extracted from the powdered seeds of artemisia aucheri by hydrodistillation. ant...
