The aim of this study was to describe inbreeding and population structure in Sangsari sheep breeding station. For this reason, data from 7028 Sangsari sheep which were collected during 1987-2014 in Sangsari sheep breeding station located near to Damghan city, Semnan province were used. Lambs born during 2010-2014 were considered as reference population. The genetic structure analysis of the pop...

For the classical subcritical age-dependent branching process the effect of the following two-type immigration pattern is studied. At a sequence of renewal epochs a random number of immigrants enters the population. Each subpopulation stemming from one of these immigrants or one of the ancestors is revived by new immigrants and their offspring whenever it dies out, possibly after an additional ...

This paper identiies issues for language generation that arose in developing a multimedia interface to healthcare data that includes coordinated speech, text and graphics. In order to produce brief speech for time-pressured caregivers, the system both combines related information into a single sentence and uses abbreviated references in speech when an unambiguous textual reference is also used....

The three-phase Shunt hybrid APF topology for harmonic mitigation in low and medium voltage power distribution systems consists of a VSI based three phase shunt active filter (SAF) and tuned passive filters (TPF) connected in parallel with the load. This chapter discusses the modelling of shunt active filter and design of filter interfacing inductor, DC bus capacitor, tuned passive filters. It ...

We survey our constructions of pseudo random sequences (binary, Z8, Z2l ,. . . ) from Galois rings. Techniques include a local Weil bound for character sums, and several kinds of Fourier transform. Applications range from cryptography ( boolean functions, key generation), to communications (multi-code CDMA), to signal processing (PAPR reduction).

Key generation on resource-constrained devices is a challenging task. This paper describes a proof-of-concept implementation of an attack on Sun’s reference implementation of the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP). It is known that this implementation has a flaw in the generation of the premaster secret in SSL. The attack recovers the symmetric keys and plaintext from an SSL session.

The RAGS project aims to define a reference architecture for Natural Language Generation (NLG) systems. Currently the major part of this architecture consists of a set of datatype definitions for specifying the input and output formats for modules within NLG systems. In this paper we describe our efforts to reinterpret an existing NLG system in terms of these definitions. The system chosen was ...
