High resilient and high nonlinear Boolean functions are desirable for secure key generators in stream ciphers, for example. This paper rst shows that there exists a tradeo between resiliency and nonlinearity. Then we show a new simple design method for high resilient and high nonlinear Boolean functions. Our method gives higher nonlinearity than [Zhang and Zheng 95] while their method gives lar...

South African youth in low-income, urbanized communities are exposed to high levels of daily stressors, which increase their risk to negative outcomes. Resiliency can provide avenues for youth to transcend adversity and may contribute to their positive development. To provide a deeper understanding of the pathways that adolescents use to overcome adversity, this paper examined future aspiration...

Research Needs: Natural and man-made disasters encountered in the past decade (e.g., the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001, the London Bombing in 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, Minneapolis’ 35W bridge collapse in 2007, Christchurch, New Zealand’s earthquake in February 2011, Japan’s devastating earthquake/tsunami in March 2011, and the Superstorm Sandy in 2012) have repeatedly emphasiz...

Purpose Physician distress is common and related to numerous factors including loss of control over the practice environment, workload, specialty choice, experience with suffering, interpersonal relationships, debt, poor self-care, maladaptive coping strategies and stressful life events such as divorce. The current study was designed to assess the effect of a Stress Management and Resiliency Tr...

As announced by NIST, AES candidates will be evaluated on the criteria of security, cost (including performance and code size), and implementation characteristics such as flexibility and simplicity. This paper introduces the new term of “future resiliency” and proposes that NIST strive to ensure that the initial culling of the fifteen initial AES candidates to “about five” second round finalist...

With increasing adverse weather events and disasters, enabling resiliency of the power distribution system (PDS) is becoming increasingly important. In this work, defined as systems ability to keep supplying critical loads even with multiple contingencies. Resiliency may depend on: (a) advanced tools assist operators in situational awareness decision making volume data generated by PDS, (b) vis...

The paper describes a distributed spectral-screening PCT algorithm for fusing hyper-spectral images in remote sensing applications. The algorithm provides intrusion tolerance from information warfare attacks using the notion of computational resiliency. This concept uses replication to achieve fault tolerance, but goes further to dynamically regenerate replication in response to an attack or fa...

Since prognostic indicators are likely to take on increasing importance as a diagnostic tool for selection of patients for implant provision, this study investigated the influence of the shape and resiliency of the mandibular alveolar ridge on the retention and stability of conventional complete dentures. Ninety- three edentulous patients wearing both maxillary and mandibular conventional compl...

This exploratory study presents findings on resiliency development in five former runaway and homeless youth. Subjected to chronic trauma, this unique population lacked the protective factors other studies have associated with resiliency development. Five young women were compared and contrasted in relation to the following questions: what factors promote resiliency in runaway and homeless yout...

Maltreatment was predicted to negatively affect children's academic and behavioral adjustment through the creation of deficits in academic engagement, social competencies, ego resiliency, and ego control. Teachers' comprehensive evaluations, school records, and camp counselors' ratings were obtained for 229 socioeconomically disadvantaged children (ages 5-12 years), 146 of whom had been maltrea...
