MASH-1 is modular arithmetic based hash function. It is presented in Part 4 of ISO/IEC 10118 standard for one and a half decade. Cryptographic strength of MASH-1 hash function is based on factorization problem of an RSA modulus along with redundancy in the input blocks of compression functions. Despite of this, we are able to introduce two large classes of moduli which allow practical time coll...

This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of black gram (Vigna mungo.L) grown under drought stress using coir waste manure and cow dung manure. Two varieties of black gram-ATD mash 3 and ATD mash 1 were the treatment variables. A best fit positive relationship existed between leaf chlorophyll and leaf nitrogen content with two organic manures. N, P and K accumulation in the two varie...

Sledgehammer integrates automatic theorem provers in the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL. A key component, the fact selector, heuristically ranks the thousands of facts (lemmas, definitions, or axioms) available and selects a subset, based on syntactic similarity to the current proof goal. We introduce MaSh, an alternative that learns from successful proofs. New challenges arose from our “zero cli...

an experiment was conducted using 640 day-old sexed commercial broiler chicks (ross 308 strain) from 10 to 49 days of age. the experimental design was a completely randomized factorial one. the experimental units (pens) contained 20 chicks each and were allotted at random to 4 dietary treatments × two sexes with 4 replicates per treatment. four dietary treatments were formulated based on corn a...

Increasingly, web-based applications are created through the composition of multiple functional components provided by different institutions. These so called ”mash-ups” are an effective means to rapidly develop new applications. However, when these mash-ups are embedded within social networking sites that aggregate and expose personal data, such as Facebook, MySpace, or LinkedIn, serious priva...

By designing recombinant genes containing tandem copies of the coding region of the BHLH domain of MASH-1 (MASH-BHLH) with intervening DNA sequences encoding linker sequences of 8 or 17 amino acids, the two subunits of the MASH dimer have been connected to form the single chain dimers MM8 and MM17. Despite the long and flexible linkers which connect the C-terminus of the first BHLH subunit to t...

1. The aim was to test whether provision of foraging material and food form influence feather pecking and feather damage in laying hens. 2. From week 19 of age, 16 groups of 11 hens (white Lohman Selected Leghorn hybrids) were kept in pens with or without access to long-cut straw as foraging material and fed on either mash or pellets. 3. Foraging behaviour was increased in hens with access to s...

A reduced complexity digital multi-stage noise shaping (MASH) delta–sigma modulator for fractional-N frequency synthesizer applications is proposed. A long word is used for the first modulator in a MASH structure; the sequence length is maximized by setting the least significant bit of the input to “1;” shorter words are used in subsequent stages. Experimental results confirm simulations.
