In this paper, a simple and robust color image encryption algorithm based on highdimensional chaotic maps is proposed. The algorithm employs a 3D Arnold transform to perform inter-component shuffling of plain-image, while a 2D hyper-chaotic map is used to confuse the relationship between the encrypted image and plain-image. The control parameters of Arnold transform are extracted from pending p...

This project involves an implementation of the Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA)[1] encryption algorithm in C. It consists of generation of two random prime numbers and a number coprime to φ(n) also called euler toitent function. These three are used to generate a public key and private key. The user has to enter a message which is encrypted by the public key. The algorithm also decrypts the generate...

This paper studies the security of a recently-proposed image encryption scheme based on chaos, and points out the following problems: 1) there exist a number of invalid keys and weak keys, and some keys are partially equivalent for the encryption/decryption processes; 2) given one chosen plain-image, a sub-key K10 can be guessed with a smaller computational complexity than that of the simple br...

background: this study was conducted to detect clusters of pulmonary tb cases in hamadan province, west of iran. methods: all patients with pulmonary tuberculosis recorded in the surveillance system from 2005 to 2013 were studied. the spatial scan statistic was used to detect significant clusters in status of unadjusted and adjusted for age, sex and location residence variables. results: cluste...

the berriasian-valanginian fahliyan formation forms one of the giant reservoirs in the subsurface of the abadan plain, onshore iran. a detailed petrographical analysis of the available cores and thin sections revealed that the different diagenetic parameters influenced the reservoir quality of the fahliyan formation in this field. the fahliyan formation has been influenced by three diagenetic e...

the aim of this research was the geochemical assessment of the groundwater quality and the evaluation of the distribution pattern of fluoride concentration in water resources of the region and their connection with the prevalence of dental fluorosis occurrence in the study area. to achieve to this goal six sediment and 22 water samples were taken and analyzed. fluoride and phosphorous concentra...

The addition of adrenaline 5 mug/ml, 1 : 200 000 to 1% etidocaine hydrochloride administered extradurally (L2-3) shortened significantly the onset time for sensory blockade, particularly with respect to the spread of the analgesia from the injection site, and shortened the already rapid onset of motor block. Etidocaine hydrochloride 1% plain caused a slower onset of block, laster longer and pro...

The study was conducted to evaluate the differences in results obtained for assays of ionized calcium (iCa) by plain and heparinised blood sample and observe for any errors in values done by ion selective electrode (ISE) method and to determine which of the collection methods could be ideal and reliable. 49 samples of heparinised and 31 plain blood samples were analyzed at lab services, Apollo ...

Plain abdominal radiographs are commonly requested for acute medical emergencies on patients with non-specific abdominal symptoms and signs. In this study 131 plain abdominal radiographs performed on the day of admission were prospectively analysed. In only 16 cases (12%) the reasons for requests conformed to the recommended guidelines by the Royal College of Radiologists. The reason for the re...
