The TRIUMF/ISAC Control system utilizes EPICS based on VME hardware with CANbus as the fieldbus. The Electronics Development group at TRIUMF/ISAC has previously developed VME modules [1] for the ISAC facility. This success led to development of several purpose built modules. Specifically for TITAN (TRIUMF’s Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science) five VME modules were developed: a frequency ge...

This article shows the results obtained during simulations that measured runtime and energy consumption of a security module (SEMO) when it executes in ARM processor. For the simulations, we considered the impacts of four algorithms (i.e. RSA, SHA-1, Random Numbers Generator and AES). We have used the Sim-Panalyzer simulator and obtained an average energy consumption (x2 Joules) and runtime (x2...

The fair exchange problem is key to trading electronic items in systems of mutually untrusted parties. In modern variants of such systems, each party is equipped with a security module. The security modules trust each other but can only communicate by exchanging messages through their untrusted host parties, that could drop those messages. We describe a synchronous algorithm that ensures determ...

Security focused OS (Secure OS) is attracting attention as a method for minimizing damage caused by various intrusions. Secure OSes can restrict the damage due to an attack by using Mandatory Access Control (MAC). In some projects, secure OSes for Linux have been developed. In these OSes, different implementation methods have been adopted. However, there is no method for easily evaluating the p...

Biological processes are often governed by functional modules of large protein assemblies such as the proteasomes and the nuclear pore complex, for example. However, atomic structures can be determined experimentally only for a small fraction of these multicomponent assemblies. In this article, we present an ant colony optimization based approach to predict the structure of large multicomponent...

Alpine is a file system that supports atomic transactions and is designed to operate as a service on a computer network. Alpine’s primary purpose is to store files that represent databases. An important secondary goal is to store ordinary files representing documents, program modules, and the like. Unlike other file servers described in the literature, Alpine uses a log-based technique to imple...

Implementation results of the exchange-correlation module are presented in this paper. The authors have ported a computationally intensive part of quantum chemistry code to FPGA, which involved a substantial modification of its structure so that it matches the platform’s profile. Additionally, a set of the authors’ customized modules for floating operations has been created along with software ...

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with non-zero identity and $fa$ an ideal of $R$. Let $M$ be a finite $R$--module of finite projective dimension and $N$ an arbitrary finite $R$--module. We characterize the membership of the generalized local cohomology modules $lc^{i}_{fa}(M,N)$ in certain Serre subcategories of the category of modules from upper bounds. We define and study the properti...

let r be a commutative ring with non-zero identity and m be a unital r-module. then the concept of quasi-secondary submodules of m is introduced and some results concerning this class of submodules is obtained

in this paper, we give a generalization of the integral dependence from rings to modules. we study the stability of the integral closure with respect to various module theoretic constructions. moreover, we introduce the notion of integral extension of a module and prove the lying over, going up and going down theorems for modules.
