Background: There is a physiologic elevation of total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) during pregnancy. Some authors define dyslipidemia (DLP) in pregnant women when TC, LDL and TG concentrations are above the 95th percentile (p95%) and HDL concentration is below the 5th percentile (P5%) for gestational age (GA). Objective: To compare the prevalence of DLP in pregnant women using perc...

In cryptanalysis, solving the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) is key to assessing the security of many public-key cryptosystems. The index-calculus methods, that attack the DLP in multiplicative subgroups of finite fields, require solving large sparse systems of linear equations modulo large primes. This article deals with how we can run this computation on GPUand multi-core-based clusters, fe...

The paper describes HıLεX, a new ASP-based system for the extraction of information from unstructured documents. Unlike previous systems, which are mainly syntactic, HıLεX combines both semantic and syntactic knowledge for a powerful information extraction. In particular, the exploitation of background knowledge, stored in a domain ontology, allows to empower significantly the information extra...

This paper presents our research findings on high-speed high-accuracy three-dimensional shape measurement using digital light processing (DLP) technologies. In particular, we compare two different sinusoidal fringe generation techniques using the DLP projection devices: direct projection of computer-generated 8-bit sinusoidal patterns (a.k.a., the sinusoidal method), and the creation of sinusoi...

Abductive logic programming (ALP) and disjunctive logic programming (DLP) are two different extensions of logic programming. This paper investigates the relationship between ALP and DLP from the program transformation viewpoint. It is shown that the belief set semantics of an abductive program is expressed by the answer set semantics and the possible model semantics of a disjunctive program. In...

One formulation of the concept of logic programming is the notion of Abstract Logic Programming Language, introduced in 8]. Central to that deeni-tion is uniform proof, which enforces the requirements of inference direction, including goal-directedness, and the duality of readings, declarative and procedural. We use this technology to investigate Disjunctive Logic Programming (DLP), an extensio...

a complex phenomenon such as the mind presents tremendous computational complexity challenges. Modeling field theory (MFT) addresses these challenges in a non-traditional way. The main idea behind MFT is to match levels of uncertainty of the model (also, a problem or some theory) with levels of uncertainty of the evaluation criterion used to identify that model. When a model becomes more certai...

A low Hamming weight product (LHWP) exponent is used to increase the efficiency of cryptosystems based on the discrete logarithm problem (DLP). In this paper, we introduce a new tool, called a Parameterized Splitting System, to analyze the security of the DLP with LHWP exponents. We apply a parameterized splitting system to attack the GPS identification scheme modified by Coron, Lefranc and Pou...

We consider the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in degree 0 class groups of non-hyperelliptic curves of genus 3 over finite fields Fq. Using a recent index calculus algorithm with double large prime variation by the author, heuristically, one can solve this problem in a time of Õ(q). In this work, we study this problem from a full cost perspective. We argue that heuristically, using a 3-dimens...
