by Shiva Prasad Kotagiri In many communication scenarios, the communicating parties typically have some knowledge or attempt to learn about the time-varying environment or the channel over which communication takes place. To understand these models, it is important to study the fundamental performance limits of state-dependent channels whose probabilistic input-output relationship depends on a ...

The goal of this study was to determine the effects of the L-type calcium channel blockers verapamil and diltiazem on the currents of voltage-gated potassium channel (fKv1.4ΔN), an N-terminal-deleted mutant of the ferret Kv1.4 potassium channel. Measurements were made using a two electrode voltage clamp technique with channels expressed stably in Xenopus oocytes. The fKv1.4ΔN currents displayed...

We provide an improved complexity analysis of backtracking-based state recovery attacks on RC4 and Spritz. Comparing new estimates with known results on Spritz, our analysis shows a signi cantly lower complexity estimate for simple state recovery attack as well as special state recovery attack. We validated the estimates by performing experiments for selected feasible parameters. We also propos...

The minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is one of the crucial and substantial parameters in the gas injection projects for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). This parameter indicates the minimum pressure at constant temperature and composition conditions for reaching 100 percent of the oil production recovery which leads to a huge economic income. Therefore, an inaccurate prediction of the MMP may lea...
