The occurrence of caecal nematode, Subulura brumpti has become more common in quails being maintained in commercial farms in Tamil Nadu, India. Two trials were carried out to study the biology and pathology of S. brumpti in quails. In the first trial, eight grower quails were divided into two groups (T1 and T2) comprising of four birds each. The birds belonged to the group T1 was infected with ...

BMP and Wnt signaling pathways play a crucial role in organogenesis, including tooth development. Despite extensive studies, the exact functions, as well as if and how these two pathways act coordinately in regulating early tooth development, remain elusive. In this study, we dissected regulatory functions of BMP and Wnt pathways in early tooth development using a transgenic noggin (Nog) overex...

Data and Methods The study uses data from the 1991 followup of the National Survey of Adolescent Males (NSAM), a nationally representative survey of never-married, noninstitutionalized males aged 15–19. The original wave of face-to-face interviews conducted in 1988 had a response rate of 74%. In the 1991 wave, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 1,676 respondents aged 17–22, for an 89% ...

in block cipher SMS4 Zhang MeiLing, Liu JingMei, Wang XinMei National Key Lab. of Integrated Service Networks, Xidian University. Xi’an, 710071,China Abstract: SMS4 is a 128-bit block cipher with a 128-bit user key and 32 rounds, which is used in the Chinese National Standard for Wireless LAN WAPI. In this paper, all possible differential patterns are divided into several sections by six design...

The random number generator (RNG) is a critical, if not in fact the most important, component in every cryptographic device. Introducing the symmetric radio channel, represented by estimations of location-specific, reciprocal, and timevariant channel characteristics, as a common RNG is not a trivial task. In recent years, several practice-oriented protocols have been proposed, challenging the u...

The objective of the present study is to determine the occurrence of “W” morphology of P100 waveform in Pattern Reversal Visual Evoked Potential (PRVEP) recordings of a cohort of patients having Primary open angle glaucoma. This rural hospital based study was conducted in the Neurophysiology unit of the Department of Physiology, Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Sevagram. The study ...

LILI-128 is a stream cipher that was submitted to NESSIE. Strangely, the designers do not really seem to have tried to ensure that cryptanalysis is no easier than by exhaustive key search. We show that there are indeed attacks faster than exhaustive key search. We also demonstrate a related key attack which has very low complexity, and which could be of practical significance if the cipher were...
