“Plasma hole” is a singular vortex spontaneously formed in an electron cyclotron resonance plasma. So far the ion flow velocity field associated with the plasma hole has been measured with a directional Langmuir probe (DLP). Here we present the first result of measuring azimuthal and radial flow velocity profiles of the plasma hole in an argon plasma using a laser induced fluorescence (LIF) Dop...

This paper introduces a new public key cryptosystem based on two hard problems : the cube root extraction modulo a composite moduli (which is equivalent to the factorisation of the moduli) and the discrete logarithm problem. These two hard problems are combined during the key generation, encryption and decryption phases. By combining the IFP and the DLP we introduce a secure and efficient publi...

A new breed of processors like the Cell Broadband Engine, the Imagine stream processor and the various GPU processors emphasize data-level parallelism (DLP) and threadlevel parallelism (TLP) as opposed to traditional instructionlevel parallelism (ILP). This allows them to achieve order-ofmagnitude improvements over conventional superscalar processors for many workloads. However, it is unclear a...

Pairings on elliptic curves over finite fields are crucial for constructing various cryptographic schemes. The ηT pairing on supersingular curves over GF(3) is particularly popular since it is efficiently implementable. Taking into account the Menezes-Okamoto-Vanstone (MOV) attack, the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in GF(3) becomes a concern for the security of cryptosystems using ηT pairing...

Morphogens are signaling molecules that regulate growth and patterning during development by forming a gradient and activating different target genes at different concentrations. The extracellular distribution of morphogens is tightly regulated, with the Drosophila morphogen Wingless (Wg) relying on Dally-like (Dlp) and transcytosis for its distribution. However, in the absence of Dlp or endocy...

We discuss language architecture for the Semantic Web, and in particular different proposals for extending this architecture with a rules component. We argue that an architecture that maximises compatibility with existing languages, in particular RDF and OWL, will benefit the development of the Semantic Web, and still allow for forms of closed world assumption and negation as failure. Up until ...

Digital light processing (DLP)-based bioprinting technology has been exploited for a wide range of applications in tissue repair, regeneration, disease modeling and drug screening. In article number e270, Li co-workers comprehensively summarize works about DLP-based strategy to deliver biomedical materials and/or specific cells create sophisticated structures various regeneration.

Disjunctive Logic Programming (DLP) under the answer set semantics is an advanced formalism for knowledge representation and reasoning. It is generally considered more expressive than normal (disjunction-free) Logic Programming, whose expressiveness is limited to properties decidable in NP. However, this higher expressiveness comes at a computational cost, and while there are several efficient ...

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses transcribe and replicate RNA within an assembled, inner capsid particle; only plus-sense mRNA emerges into the intracellular milieu. During infectious entry of a rotavirus particle, the outer layer of its three-layer structure dissociates, delivering the inner double-layered particle (DLP) into the cytosol. DLP structures determined by X-ray crystallography a...

Normal Form Nested (NFN ) programs have recently been introduced in order to allow for enriching the syntax of disjunctive logic programs under the answer sets semantics. In particular, heads of rules can be disjunctions of conjunctions, while bodies can be conjunctions of disjunctions. Different to many other proposals of this kind, NFN programs may contain variables, and a notion of safety ha...
