Two lightweight block cipher families, Simon and Speck, have been proposed by researchers from the NSA recently. In this paper, we introduce Simeck, a new family of lightweight block ciphers that combines the good design components from both Simon and Speck, in order to devise even more compact and e cient block ciphers. For Simeck32/64, we can achieve 505 GEs (before the Place and Route phase)...

The researcher measured the least number of frequency response functions required for the identification of modal parameters, in order to simplify the identification of modal properties of such systems. In this work, the orbital machines are supposed to be a combination of orbital and non-orbital components. Structural Approach specified the identification of dynamic properties only to those ph...

This series of studies explored the extent to which the gross shape of the onset spectrum is used by the listener for the identification of place of articulation in initial stop consonants. Synthetic stimuli were generated with onset frequencies appropriate to the syllables [ba bi du da di du] and with the gross shape of the onset spectrum manipulated to be appropriate for either alveolar conso...

Recordings of rat hippocampal place cells have provided information about how the hippocampus retrieves memory sequences. One line of evidence has to do with phase precession, a process organized by theta and gamma oscillations. This precession can be interpreted as the cued prediction of the sequence of upcoming positions. In support of this interpretation, experiments in two-dimensional envir...
