Hydrological status and water table fluctuations are directly related to land use and/or land cover (LULC) changes in each area. In this research, the impact of LULC changes on groundwater quantity and quality of Khan-Mirza Plain, in the northern Karun watersheds, was investigated. For this purpose, Landsat 5, 7 and 8 satellite images and ETM and OLI sensors were employed to prepare the L...

Twofish is a 128-bit block cipher submitted as an AES candidate [SKW+98]. Mirza and Murphy [MM99] recently noted two interesting properties in the Twofish key schedule for 128-bit keys: there is a non-uniform distribution of 128-bit whitening keys, and the 64-bit round subkeys are non-uniformly distributed over each subset of keys that fixes the S-boxes. This paper extends these results and exp...

Is this survival related to a certain degree of health care efficiency? We explored this hypothesis through a study of classical Greco-Arab medicine in Mauritania. Modern general practitioners evaluated the safety and effectiveness of classical Arabic medicine i...
