In this note, we describe an error in the proof for CLRW2 given by Landecker et al. in their paper at CRYPTO 2012 on the beyond-birthday-bound security for tweakable block ciphers. We are able to resolve the issue, give a new bound for the security of CLRW2, and identify a potential limitation of this proof technique when looking to extend the scheme to provide asymptotic security.

We consider compositional properties of reactive systems that are secure in a cryptographic sense. We follow the well-known simulatability approach of modern cryptography, i.e., the specification is an ideal system and a real system should in some sense simulate this ideal one...

The egg development and early life history of Korean spotted sleeper, Odontobutis interrupta which is Korean endemic species from Sora-choen was investigated. The Korean spotted sleeper were caught at Sora-myeon, Yeosu-si, Jeollanamdo, from Korea at May in 2014. The fertilized eggs were 4.23 ± 0.05 mm in long diameter and had oil globules. Hatching time of the embryo began about 442 hr 14 min a...

This paper illustrates the phenomenon of the critical speed in the range 100300 km/h. A real explanation and a precise calculation of the critical speed seems to rest an unresolved problem in many cases. Some authors, analogous to “Mach effect”, have attributed this phenomenon to the reaching the Rayleigh wave speed of substructure by trains. But this explanation can’t be thorough in many cases...

Waking up can be very troubling. In many cases, being awoken by the alarm clock during a period of deep sleep causes a person to not feel fully rested after waking up. This paper describes how an adaptive alarm clock was developed addressing this problem. The alarm clock predetermines in what state the sleeper will be at the instant of supposed alarm-firing, and adjusts that instant to a more f...
