Recent years have seen numerous examples when designs play an important role in the study of such topics in cryptography as secrecy and authentication codes, secret sharing schemes, correlation-immune and resilient functions. In this paper we give applications of some methods and results from the design theory, especially bounding the optimal size of the designs and codes, to cryptography. We g...

resilient modulus of pavement materials is a key property required for the pavement thickness design. this paper describes the results of an experimental study on the effects of temperature and loading frequency on the resilient modulus of a sbs polymer modified asphalt concrete under dry and saturated conditions. dynamic creep tests were conducted on dry and saturated specimens of the mixture ...

We study pairs of families A; B 2 f1;:::;rg such that jA \ Bj 2 L for any A 2 A, B 2 B. We are interested in the maximum product jAj jBj, given r and L. We give asymptotically optimal bounds for L containing only elements of s < q residue classes modulo q, where q is arbitrary (even non-prime) and s is a constant. As a consequence, we obtain a version of Frankl-RR odl result about forbidden int...

This paper presents an algorithm based on inter-solutions of having scheduled electricity generation resources and the fuzzy logic as a sublimation tool of outcomes obtained from the schedule inter-solutions. The goal of the algorithm is to bridge the conflicts between minimal cost and other aspects of generation. In the past, the optimal scheduling of electricity generation resources has been ...

Different continuous operating modes of a nondispersive solvent extraction (NDSX) process with membrane modules of hollow fibre for wastewater treatment and metal recovery are evaluated. Cocurrent and countercurrent flow of aqueous and organic phases in the membrane modules with alternative product extraction locations for the removal and recovery of hexavalent chromium from wastewater are stud...

This paper presents a resilient cache memory for dynamic variation tolerance in a 40-nm CMOS. The cache can perform sustained operations under a large-amplitude voltage droop. To realize sustained operation, the resilient cache exploits 7T/14T bit-enhancing SRAM and onchip voltage/temperature monitoring circuit. 7T/14T bit-enhancing SRAM can reconfigure itself dynamically to a reliable bit-enha...

The broad of applicability, ease of use, and global perspective of so-called meta-heuristic algorithms may be considered as the primary reason for their extensive application and success as search and optimization tools in various problem domains. Honey bees are among the most well-studied social insects. Their mating process may also be considered as a typical swarm-based approach to optimizat...
