The Anshel-Anshel-Goldfeld-Lemieux (abbreviated AAGL) key agreement protocol [1] is proposed to be used on low-cost platforms which constraint the use of computational resources. The core of the protocol is the concept of an Algebraic Eraser (abbreviated AE) which is claimed to be a suitable primitive for use within lightweight cryptography. The AE primitive is based on a new and ingenious idea...

The paper sets out a primitive ontology of the natural world in terms of primitive stuff, that is, stuff that has as such no physical properties at all, but that is not a bare substratum either, being individuated by metrical relations. We focus on quantum physics and employ identity-based Bohmian mechanics to illustrate this view, but point out that it applies all over physics. Properties then...

In this paper, we present a new interactive 2D deformation technique to make caricatures with extreme exaggerations. In our technique, we use simplices as deformation primitives. User defined source and target shapes of each simplex primitive define local coordinates. These local coordinates determine a unique translation vector for any given point in 2D space. We also provide a set of blending...

background: we report the analgesic efficacy of lumbar epidural adenosine injection in reducing the chronic neuropathic pain in a patient with primitive neuroectodermal tumor. report of the case: in this case report a 13-year-old male with primary neuroectodermal tumor (pnet) was administered in epidural space with adenosine to reduce his pain. the patient received 10ml of 0.25% ropivacaine and...

This article addresses the existence of Q-rational periodic points for morphisms of projective space. In particular, we construct an infinitely family of morphisms on P where each component is a degree 2 homogeneous form in N+1 variables which has a Q-periodic point of primitive period (N+1)(N+2) 2 + ̈ N−1 2 ̋ . This result is then used to show that for N large enough there exists morphisms of P ...
