In eSTREAM project, a few lightweight stream cipher for hardware was introduced (2008) and then in FSE 2015 Sprout was proposed. Sprout introduced a new idea, design of stream cipher with shorter internal state by using key not only in initialization but also in keystream generation, but it was insecure. Grain-v1 is almost the lightest secure cipher in world. Fruit stream cipher is successor of...

The authors compared fifth-, seventh-, and tenth-graders, and college undergraduates’ cognitive word knowledge of the cognates of think and know within a theoretical framework focused on hierarchical levels of meaning. Cognitive words form a category within the internal state lexicon and may be central to accessing, monitoring, and transforming our internal states, all of which seem to be proce...

Recently, neutron stars with very strong surface magnetic fields have been suggested as the site for the origin of observed soft gamma repeaters (SGRs). We investigate the influence of a strong magnetic field on the properties and internal structure of such strongly magnetized neutron stars (magnetars). The presence of a sufficiently strong magnetic field changes the ratio of protons to neutron...

Photodetachment spectroscopy of OH(-) and H(3)O(2)(-) anions has been performed in a cryogenic 22-pole radiofrequency multipole trap. Measurements of the detachment cross section as a function of laser frequency near threshold have been analysed. Using this bound-free spectroscopy approach we could demonstrate rotational and vibrational cooling of the trapped anions by the buffer gas in the mul...

The success of a task-achieving multi-robot system (MRS) depends on effective coordination mechanisms to mediate the robots’ interactions in such a way that a given task is achieved. In the MRS community, many elegant coordination mechanisms have been empirically demonstrated. However, there is a lack of systematic procedures for the synthesis of coordinated MRS. In this paper, we address this ...

Eighteen months ago, and prior to the launch of its redeveloped Intranet, the State Library of Victoria revolutionised its internal communications with the introduction of The Fridge – a new, online, daily news service. A small icon – in the shape of a fridge – was posted on the desktop of every Library staff member. Staff were invited to click on the icon at any time, every day. When they did ...

A single femtosecond optical frequency comb is implemented to induce two-photon transitions between molecular vibrational levels to form ultracold molecules. The phase across an individual pulse in the pulse train is sinusoidally modulated with a carefully chosen modulation amplitude and frequency. Piecewise population transfer is fulfilled to the final state by each pulse in the applied pulse ...
