The strength of any conventional cipher system relies on the underlying cryptographic Boolean functions employed in the system. The design of such systems requires that the employed Boolean functions meet specific security criteria. Two of such criteria are the correlation immunity and resiliency of a given Boolean function. To determine whether su

The performance of energy efficiency in a radio-over-fiber system utilizing M-QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation), OOK (On-Off-keying) and M-PAM (Pulse amplitude modulation) is highlighted. The performance of single channel CO-OFDM and with 10GHz channels pacing at 10-Gb/s data rate is shown through the optisystem for different modulation schemes

A Hierarchical Torus Network (HTN) is a 2D- torus network of multiple basic modules, in which the basic modules are 3D-torus networks that are hierarchically inter- connected for higher-level networks. The combination of link selection and channel selection (LS+CS) algorithm improves the dynamic communication performance of the HTN by efficient use

Introduction: Epigenetic changes, particularly DNA methylation are an important mechanism in the regulation of gene expression. Since DNA methylation occurs without genetic sequence alteration, it offers a new insight on the pathogenesis of various complex diseases like cancer and psychiatric disorder such as schizophrenia. Reelin (RELN) gene encod

In conventional method, insulin is injected subcutaneously two to four times a day before each meal to maintain the serum glucose level of diabetic patients [1]. This multiple injection routine is complex, painful, inconvenient and fear of hypoglycemia. To improve patient compliance and convenience, poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) based sustained

Religion and politics are closely linked in the Islamic Republic of Iran, especially its Muslim World policy. The Islamic Republic of Iran policies in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and the Republic of Yemen suggest that it promotes Shi’ite religious doctrinal values in its Muslim World policy. This study argues that the Islamic Republic has mainly pro

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between corporate ownership structures and audit fees paid to external auditors by Malaysian companies listed on Bursa Malaysia. This study focuses on the extent of the auditor’s reliance on the client’s internal control inasmuch as the corporate ownership structures are vari

A Cryptographically Generated Address (CGA) is a self-certifying address that a node can generate when it joins a foreign network. Despite its advantages, generating CGAs is computationally expensive. This study examines the security and performance issues surrounding the CGA generation algorithm. It also scrutinizes the hash extension mechanism, d

Terrorism is nothing new in present situations all over the world. Though there are different political manipulations of its definition, terrorism is a menace that affects the whole world at large. Boko Haram, a terrorist group based mainly in Nigeria started its first attack in 2004, and it has since been responsible for thousands of deaths of bot
