Recovery systems must save state before a failure occurs to enable the system to recover from the failure. However, recovery will fail if the recovery system saves any state corrupted by the fault. The frequency and comprehensive-ness of how a recovery system saves state has a major effect on how often the recovery system inadvertently saves corrupted state. This paper explores and measures tha...

More recently, the concept of integrated forest biorefinery (IFBR) has received much attention as a promising solution for the struggling forest industry in North America and Europe to overcome its difficult financial period and competes globally. This new business paradigm offers a broad range of potentially attractive products, from bioenergy to value-added green organic chemicals in addition...

Objectives: One of the most important problems seen in patients after stroke is that they cannot develop normal muscle strength. In recent years, the use of Mirror Therapy (MT) in the recovery of this condition has been noticed in different studies. This study investigated the effect of MT on motor recovery in patients after stroke. Methods: In this clinical trial, 93 patients were divided int...

In this study, a chemical additive made by a combination of polymer, alkaline, and silica nanoparticles is used to control the oil recovery and relative permeability curves. Various parametersincluding the type and concentration of polymer, alkaline, and nanosilica particles have been studied.To evaluate the efficiency of these additives, we performed unsteady state displaceme...

A study was undertaken in southern peninsular state of India, the Tamil Nadu State, to assess the farmers’ “Willingness to pay” (WTP) for receiving annual health care services to their dairy animals. The districts of the state were categorized as “Livestock developed” (LD) and “Livestock under developed” (LUD) based on initial base line developed. Contingent valuation (CV) approach was used to ...

Recovery of gold and other valuable metals from electronic scrap involves a complex metallurgical flow sheet and requires state-of-the-art recovery technologies that are available in large-scale, integrated smelter and refinery operations. At the end of their use, electronic and other electrical product scrap offer an important recycling potential for the secondary supply of gold and silver...

Soft-state is a well established approach to designing robust network protocols and applications. However it is unclear how to apply soft-state approach to protocols that must maintain a large amount of state information in a scalable way. For example the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is used to maintain the global routing tables at core Internet routers, and the table size is typically above 1...

ICEPOLE is a CAESAR candidate which is claimed to have intermediate level of robustness under nonce reuse circumstances. In this report, we apply the differential-linear cryptanalysis to the ICEPOLE family and show that ICEPOLE is insecure when the nonce is reused. Under the nonce-misuse circumstances, there is differential-linear distinguishing attack on ICEPOLE with time and data complexity l...

State recovery attacks comprise an important class of attacks on pseudorandom generators. In this paper we analyze resistance of pseudorandom generators against these attacks in terms of concrete security. We show that security of the BlumMicali pseudorandom generator against state recovery attacks is tightly related to the security of the corresponding one-way function. C. Wolf, S. Lucks, P.-W...
