In the early 1960s, Anthony Edwards and Luca Cavalli-Sforza made an effort to apply R.A. Fisher’s maximum likelihood (ML) method to estimate genealogical trees of human populations using gene frequency data. They used the Yule branching process to describe the probabilities of the trees and branching times and the Brownian motion process to model the drift of gene frequencies (after a suitable ...

Welding Journal - January 2012

For more than 30 years, body-in-white development has been dominated by the need to achieve weight reduction while improving crash worthiness (Refs. 1, 2). Weight reduction is considered a primary key to improvements in fuel economy. One area of considerable development has been through materials substitution. Thirty years ago, automotive structural elements were made almost exclusively from re...

XBX Benchmarking Results January 2012

We benchmarked many implementations of all remaining SHA-3 candidate algorithms on several platforms. The benchmarking method used in this report is called XBX, short for eXternal Benchmarking eXtension, an extension of the SUPERCOP-eBASH framework [7] that allows benchmarking small devices. For details on how XBX works, please see [3]. The main sources of candidate implementations were SUPERCO...
