The Tiny Encryption Algorithm (TEA) is a suitable lightweight cryptographic algorithm used in medium security systems such as RFID systems. The TEA is a fiestel structure used to satisfy the confusion and the diffusion properties to hide the statistical characteristics of the plaintext. However, TEA has few weaknesses, most notably from equivalent keys and related-key attacks. So, a Modified TE...

Both the short- and long-term electron-transfer processes of electrode-respiring Geobacter sulfurreducens biofilms are demonstrated by using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The QCM monitors the frequency shift from the initial resonant frequency (background) in real time, while the current increases, because of biofilm growth. In the short term, the frequency shift is line...

In this paper, the vibrations of thin plate in modified couple stress thermoelastic medium by using Kirchhoff- Love plate theory has been investigated. The governing equations of motion and heat conduction equation for Lord Shulman (L-S) [1] theory are written with the help of Kirchhoff- Love plate theory. The thermoelastic damping of micro-beam resonators is analyzed by using the normal mode a...

There are mainly two frequency-shift methods developed for Q estimation: the centroid-frequency-shift method and the peak-frequency-shift method. Both of the two methods have advantages and disadvantages. Here we discuss and compare the two methods in detail and propose a novel frequency-shift method for Q estimation, which can improve Q estimates by combining the benefits of the two methods to...

Abstruct-We consider the class of bilinear time-frequency representations (BTFR's) that are invariant (or covariant) to time shifts, frequency shifts, and time-frequency scalings. This " shift-scale invariant " class is the intersection of the classical shift-invariant (Cohen) class and the recently defined affine class. The mathematical description of shift-scale invariant BTFR's is in terms o...

In previous publications, a new echo-ranging Doppler system based on transmission of repetitive coherent frequency-modulated ͑FM͒ sinusoids in two different implementations was presented. One of these implementations, the frequency-modulated–frequency-shift measurement ͑FM–fsm͒ Doppler system is, in this paper, compared with its pulsed-wave counterpart, the pulsed-wave– time-shift measurement ͑PW–ts...

The linear Doppler shift is widely used to infer the velocity of approaching objects, but this shift does not detect rotation. By analyzing the orbital angular momentum of the light scattered from a spinning object, we observed a frequency shift proportional to product of the rotation frequency of the object and the orbital angular momentum of the light. This rotational frequency shift was stil...

The present study aimed at finding Catford‟s category shifts applied in the Persian translation of Charles Dickens‟ novel Great Expectations to determine the most frequently used category shift and to check whether there is a significant difference between category shifts in the translation. To this end, 200 simple declarative sentences from the first 20 chapters...
