soil moisture retention curve (smrc) is an important soil property which expresses reaction between matric potential and moisture of soil. direct measurement of soil matric potential and moisture is labour- and time-consuming. in order to prevail this problem, indirect methods are used for smrc prediction. pedotransfer functions (ptfs) are one of these indirect methods. this study was carried o...

BACKGROUND Risk prediction models have been proposed for various diseases and are being improved as new predictors are identified. A major challenge is to determine whether the newly discovered predictors improve risk prediction. Decision curve analysis has been proposed as an alternative to the area under the curve and net reclassification index to evaluate the performance of prediction models...

A Postcomputation-based generic-point parallel scalar multiplication method has recently been proposed for high-performance end servers that employ parallel elliptic curve cryptoprocessors. The sequential precomputation overheads, in the postcomputation-based method, are replaced with parallelizable postcomputations. This paper analyzes the performance of the postcomputation-based method with 1...

Public key cryptography is the famous cryptography technique used in many corporate sectors for developing software to provide security services. Hyperelliptic Curve Cryptosystem (HECC) is one of the public key cryptographic technique, an expansion of Elliptic Curve Cryptography which offers the similar level of security compared with other cryptosystems such as RSA, ECC and DSA. HECC supervise...
