A tripartite authenticated key agreement protocol is generally designed to accommodate the need of three speci c entities in communicating over an open network with a shared secret key, which is used to preserve con dentiality and data integrity. Since Joux initiates the development of tripartite key agreement protocol, many prominent tripartite schemes have been proposed subsequently. In 2005,...

Abstract The tripartite entanglement is examined when one of the three parties moves with a uniform acceleration with respect to other parties. As Unruh effect indicates, the tripartite entanglement exhibits a decreasing behavior with increasing the acceleration. Unlike the bipartite entanglement, however, the tripartite entanglement does not completely vanish in the infinite acceleration limit...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite markers were developed in the invasive species Bidens alba (Asteraceae) to assess its population structure and to facilitate tracking its expansion in China. • METHODS AND RESULTS Using 454 pyrosequencing, 20 microsatellite primer sets were developed for B. alba. The markers were tested on one population of B. alba (30 individuals) and one pop...

Complex morphological and micromorphological studies have been made about bootjack bur (Bidens frondosa) growing on the territory of Krasnodar region. The lamina is dorsoventral type. conduction system has fasciations, three closed collateral bundles, are present near vein. leaf amphistomatic type, stomatic apparats in a small amount. Anticlinical walls main cells epidermis strongly flexuose. l...

The germination of three cerrado herbaceous species: Bidens gardneri, Vernonia herbacea (Asteraceae) and Psychotria barbiflora (Rubiaceae) was studied using seeds stored in cerrado soil and in refrigerator at 4°C. The field experiment was carried out at a preserved area of cerrado, the Reserva Biológica e Estação Experimental de Mogi-Guaçu, State of São Paulo, Brazil. The soil was collected in ...

In 2014 hairy beggarticks (Bidens pilosa L.) has been identified as being glyphosate-resistant in citrus orchards from Mexico. The target and non-target site mechanisms involved in the response to glyphosate of two resistant populations (R1 and R2) and one susceptible (S) were studied. Experiments of dose-response, shikimic acid accumulation, uptake-translocation, enzyme activity and 5-enolpyru...

Fifteen flavonoids, 1-7 and 9-16, and a polyacetylene, 8, were isolated from the ethanol extract of the dried whole plant of Bidens parviflora Willd. by various chromatographic techniques. Their structures have been elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analyses and chemical studies. Compound 8 is new and was identified as 3-(R),8(E)-decene-4,6-diyne-1,3,10-triol. All the flavonoid compounds...

The herpes simplex virus (HSV) regulatory protein, infected-cell polypeptide 4 (ICP4), represses the transcription of promoters that have binding sites for ICP4 located near the transcription start site. It also been shown that ICP4 binds such promoter DNA cooperatively with the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and TFIIB to form a tripartite protein-DNA complex (C. Smith, P. Bates, R. Rivera-Gonzales...

Online social media such as delicious and digg are represented as tripartite networks whose vertices are users, tags, and resources. Detecting communities from such tripartite networks is practically important. Newman-Girvan modularity is often used as the criteria for evaluating the goodness of network divisions into communities. Murata has extended Newman-Girvan modularity in order to evaluat...
