A new efficient authentication protocol providing anonymous channels in the global system for mobile communications is presented, using algorithms A3, A5 and A8. The protocol is the result of a combination between the recent GSM authentication scheme proposed by Lee, Hwang and Yang (LHY) and the anonymous channel protocol presented by Lin and Jan (LJ). The result is a protocol with all the feat...

This paper investigates a non-commutative first-order sequent calculus NCLK. For that, this paper extends a non-commutative positive fragment to a full first-order sequent calculus LK− having antecedent-grouping and no right exchange rule. This paper shows (1) NCLK is equivalent to LJ, (2) NCLK with the exchange rule is equivalent to LK, (3) LK− is equivalent to LJ, and (4) translations between...

Over a two-year period, 2949 non-sputum specimens were cultured on two slopes of Löwenstein-Jensen (LJ) medium, two bottles of Kirchner liquid medium, made selective by adding polymyxin B, carbenicillin, trimethoprim and amphotericin B, and a selective 7H11 agar slope. Pus and CSF were inoculated into this set without prior treatment, but other specimens were decontaminated with sulphuric acid....

Main problem for Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth is time. This study evaluates the performance of Bact/Alert 3D system for isolates and identification of mycobacteria. 100 clinical specimens from the chest and tuberculosis department were included. All were positive by Lowenstein Jensen (LJ) media in different time. All samples were also tested by Bact/ALERT 3D system for time management stud...

We calculated virial coefficients BN, 8 ≤ N ≤ 16, of the Lennard-Jones (LJ) model using both the Mayer-sampling Monte Carlo method and direct generation of configurations, with Wheatley's algorithm for summation of clusters. For N = 8, 24 values are reported, and for N = 9, 12 values are reported, both for temperatures T in the range 0.6 ≤ T ≤ 40.0 (in LJ units). For each N in 10 ≤ N ≤ 16, one ...

where Aj = −d/dx + fj(x) are first order differential operators. A Darboux chain is called periodic if Lj+r = Lj for some r and for all j = 1, 2, . . . . Number r is called the period of a Darboux chain. The operator L+ α2 appears to be the harmonic oscillator in the particular case r = 1. Periodic Darboux chains lead to integrable systems of differential equations for functions fj, which are e...

INTRODUCTION Clinical samples from 433 patients pre-diagnosed with tuberculosis in Konya, Turkey, were investigated prospectively to compare the GenoType(®) MTBC test (GenoType(®) MTBC) with conventional "gold standard" culture methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS Lowenstein Jensen (LJ) and Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT)-960 culture methods and GenoType(®) MTBC were performed together. ...

The Tolman length and interfacial tension of partially miscible symmetric binary Lennard–Jones (LJ) fluids (A, B) was revealed by performing a large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with sufficient area cutting distance. A unique phenomenon observed in LJ fluids, where two surfaces existed on both sides an equimolar dividing surface. range interaction εAB between the different liquids t...

Free energies and correlation functions of liquid and solid hard-sphere (HS) mixtures are calculated using the fundamental measure density functional theory. Using the thermodynamic perturbation theory the free energies of solid and liquid Lennard-Jones (LJ) mixtures are obtained from correlation functions of HS systems within a single theoretical approach. The resulting azeotrope- and spindle-...

Let F (z1, . . . zd) = ∏n j=1 η lj(z1,...,zd) nj be the quotient of an analytic function by a product of linear functions lj := 1− ∑ bijzi. We compute asymptotic formulae for the Taylor coefficients of F via the multivariate residue approach begun by [BM93]. By means of stratified Morse theory, we are able to give a short and fully implementable algorithm for determining an asymptotic series ex...
