1. A leading 0x00 is in the block to be RSA encrypted, ensuring the encryption block is less than the RSA modulus. 2. A block type encoded octet of 0x02 follows the leading 0x00, indicating the block is to be encrypted using a public key. 3. At least eight non-zero pseudorandom padding octets (bytes) are appended to the right after the block type octet. The padding octets should be generated in...

The abrupt boundary truncation of an image introduces artifacts in the restored image. The traditional solution is to smooth the image data using special window functions such as Hamming or trapezoidal windows. This is followed by zero-padding and linear convolution with the restoration filter. This method improves the results but still distorts the image, especially at the margins. Instead of ...

We evaluated the effects of systematic application and removal of protective equipment on three topographies of self-injurious behavior (SIB) exhibited by a girl who had been diagnosed with autism. Results showed that when protective equipment was applied, SIB decreased to near-zero levels. In addition, withdrawal of protective equipment for specific topographies of SIB (by removing only the co...

We report the effect of padding on the efficiency of the pneumatic tourniquet for the upper limb. Varying thicknesses of two commercially-available types of orthopaedic padding (Cellona and Velband) were applied to the arms of 20 volunteers, with three pressure transducers placed directly beneath the padding. A tourniquet was positioned over the padding and inflated to 220 mmHg. Significant red...

During the last decades, many studies have been dedicated to improving performance of neural networks, for example, network architectures, initialization, and activation. However, investigating importance effects learnable padding methods in deep learning remains relatively open. To mitigate gap, this paper proposes a novel trainable Padding Module that can be placed model. The optimize itself ...

An efficient and low complexity frequency estimation method based on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) samples is described. The suggested method can operate with an arbitrary window function in the absence or presence of zero-padding. The frequency estimation performance of the suggested method is shown to follow the Cramer-Rao bound closely without any error floor due to estimator bias, ev...

This note provides some corrections to the aforementioned paper. In [1, eq. (7)], C and aMkE1 cannot be added because the dimensions of the matrices are different. Therefore, the consequent derivations have to be adjusted. We propose two methods that can be used to correct this problem without harming the main idea of [1]. The first method is zero padding to zk 2 < to make zk 2 <. This can be w...
