In the inference attacks studied in Quantitative Information Flow (QIF), the attacker typically tries to interfere with the system in the attempt to increase its leakage of secret information. The defender, on the other hand, typically tries to decrease leakage by introducing some controlled noise. This noise introduction can be modeled as a type of protocol composition, i.e., a probabilistic c...

background & aim:mentha longifolia (l.) huds is an aromatic perennial herb that belongs to the   family lamiaceae. the aim of this study was to identify chemical composition of aerial parts   (including leaf, stem and flowers) of m. longifolia collected from   (kamu mountain) isfahan province. experimental: the essential oils were extracted   using the hydrodistillation method and analysed by g...

ten chromite ores from ophiolite complexes in se iran were analyzed mineralogically by xrd, chemically by xrf, and mineral chemistry by epma. the identified paragenesis of silicate minerals of chromite ores with the x-ray diffraction is pronounced differently. it consists of secondary phases formed as serpentine, cr-containing chlorite (kaemmererite), chromic garnet (uarovite) with preserved pa...

the objective of the article is to investigate the variability in growth and wood properties of the willow clones. the growth and wood traits of four year old 21 clones willow clones were investigated. analysis of variance showed that willow clones differed significantly for all the studied growth and wood traits. among the growth parameters the maximum heritability value was shown by height wh...

Al2O3–Ta2O5 nanolaminate films were prepared via atomic layer deposition (ALD) on silicon with a single overall composition and thickness, but with a varying number of Al2O3/Ta2O5 bilayers. The composition of the films was roughly 57% Al2O3 and 43% Ta2O5 and the total film thickness was held at 58 nm, while the number of bilayers was varied from 3 to 192 by changing the target bilayer thickness...

The structures of nonuniform binary hard-sphere mixtures and the correlation functions of uniform ternary hard-sphere mixtures were studied using a modified fundamental-measure theory based on the weight functions of Rosenfeld [Rosenfeld, Phys. Rev. Lett. 63, 980 (1989)] and Boublik-Mansoori-Carnahan-Starling-Leland equation of state [Boublik, J. Chem. Phys. 53, 471 (1970); Mansoori et al., J. ...

When liposomes are subjected to dehydration or freeze-thawing, vesicle fusion and/or leakage of vesicle contents can occur. The disaccharide, trehalose and the cryoprotectant, glycerol, are known to protect vesicle integrity during dehydration and freezing respectively. Here we examine their protective abilities as a function of vesicle size and lipid composition. It is shown that fatty acyl co...

There is considerable interest in means for predicting reactivity hazard potential from chemical structure. Such means are intended to provide measures of the likelihood that a given chemical composition can undergo rapid self-reaction, i.e., that it can detonate or deflagrate. The means to be discussed are most useful in predicting behavior under unconfined conditions. As they are computationa...

On May 31, 2010, a direct acoustic measurement method was used to quantify fluid leakage rate from the Deepwater Horizon Macondo well prior to removal of its broken riser. This method utilized an acoustic imaging sonar and acoustic Doppler sonar operating onboard a remotely operated vehicle for noncontact measurement of flow cross-section and velocity from the well's two leak sites. Over 2,500 ...
