cucumber is one of the main vegetables in iranian food basket. a wide range of pesticides are used for crops protection during the cultivation of vegetables such as cucumber due to heavy pest infestation. analysis of pesticide residues in food and other environmental commodities have become essential requirement for consumers, producers, and food quality control authorities. this study was aime...

for the first time, a multi-residue methodfor simultaneous determination of 41lc-amenable pesticides in rice, belonging to different chemical classes has been developed in iran by lc-ms/ms. the pesticides were analyzed simultaneously in a single run using positive electrospray ionization with multiple reaction monitoring (mrm) after extraction with slightly modified quechers method. the calibra...

We present a method to increase the dynamical range of a Residue Number System (RNS) by adding virtual RNS layers on top of the original RNS, where the required modular arithmetic for a modulus on any non-bottom layer is implemented by means of an RNS Montgomery multiplication algorithm that uses the RNS on the layer below. As a result, the actual arithmetic is deferred to the bottom layer. The...

Third generation cellular network technology (3G) can revolutionize communications and data exchanges between many people in a more overwhelming fashion than 2G and 2.5G networks did. The 3G UMTS, the 3G GSM and the 3G GPRS rely on the KASUMI block cipher. Therefore, increasing speed, decreasing power consumption and error detection/correction are the major concerns of the KASUMI algorithm and ...

Nonlinear vibration behavior of beam is an important issue of structural engineering. In this study, a mathematical modeling of a forced nonlinear vibration of Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on nonlinear elastic foundation is presented. The nonlinear vibration behavior of the beam is investigated by using a modified multi-level residue harmonic balance method. The main advantage of the method is ...

We find that the minimum distance of the binary [137; 69] quadratic residue code is 21.

Based on the quadratic residuosity assumption we present a non-interactive crypto-computing protocol for the greater-than function, i.e., a non-interactive procedure between two parties such that only the relation of the parties’ inputs is revealed. In comparison to previous solutions our protocol reduces the number of modular multiplications significantly. We also discuss applications to condi...
