With the wide applications of wireless communication in the air inter-face, needs secure connections, efficient decryption and strong authentication mechanisms. In general,authentication procedure adds extra messages to the original message flow and results in throughput reduction/ increase in processing time. Reducing the processing time spent on authentication procedure is very important for ...

PURPOSE Diffusion Spectrum Imaging enables to reconstruct the ensemble average propagator (EAP) at the expense of having to acquire a large number of measurements. Compressive sensing offers an efficient way to decrease the required number of measurements. The purpose of this work is to perform a thorough experimental comparison of three sampling strategies and six sparsifying transforms to sho...

This study was conducted in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) context to explore Iranian teachers' perceptions of their pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and their sense of professional identity (PI) as well as to scrutinize how their cognitions were practiced in EAP classes. To this end, two ELT teachers and two content instructors (i.e. subject experts who teach EAP courses in addition to...

This study aimed to examine the policies in the Iranian English for Academic Purposes (EAP) education and the extent to which objectives match the policies and are materialized in practice. To this end, course descriptions in the syllabi for the EAP programs were evaluated through document analysis and triangulated with the experts’ perspectives through interviews to examine the current status ...

The Extensible Authentication protocol (EAP), is the main component of the standard AAA (Authentication Authorization and Accounting) framework for network access control. AAA frameworks support cross-domain authentication that enables a certain access network to authenticate a roaming client that belongs to a remote network. The cross-domain authentication requires message exchange between the...

Inflatable membrane reflectors are attractive for deployable, large aperture, lightweight optical and microwave systems in micro-gravity space environment. However, any fabrication flaw or temperature variation may results in significant aberration of the surface. Even for a perfectly fabricated inflatable membrane mirror with uniform thickness, theory shows it will form a Hencky curve surface ...

For many, the idea of a human with bionic muscles immediately conjures up images of science fiction -a superhuman character in a TV series. With bionic muscles, the hero is portrayed with strength and speed far superior to any normal human. As fantastic as that idea may seem, recent developments in electroactive polymers (EAP) may one day make such bionics possible. New effective EAP materials ...

In 2015, the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) issued 17 initiatives comprising environmental, social and economic initiatives. It leads to implementation environmental auditing practices (INTOSAI, 2006). However, there is no one process for of practices. The purpose this study highlight flow (EAP) in two Malaysian Local Governments (MLG). This used an interpretative qualitativ...

This document specifies an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) mechanism for authentication and session key distribution using the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) mechanism. UMTS AKA is based on symmetric keys, and runs typically in a UMTS Subscriber Identity Module, a smart card like device. EAP AKA includes optional identity privac...

Few would disagree that high quality thinking is a necessary condition for high quality writing. Yet, writing courses in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) often focus only marginally on principled and rigorous development of dialogical thinking and idea generation in preparation for written work. This study examines the effect of a model of critical thinking instruction (CTI) in a university ...
