This study represents the first example of genetic assignment being used to identify the farm of origin for escaped Atlantic salmon. Following reports by local fishers of escaped farmed salmon in Romsdalfjord, western Norway, baseline samples were collected from 16 cages located on seven operational farms. The baseline samples, in addition to 29 escapees, were screened for 15 microsatellite loc...

We present three attacks on the Prime Power RSA with modulus N = pq. In the first attack, we consider a public exponent e satisfying an equation ex − φ(N)y = z where φ(N) = pr−1(p − 1)(q − 1). We show that one can factor N if the parameters |x| and |z| satisfy |xz| < N r(r−1) (r+1)2 thereby extending the recent results of Sakar [16]. In the second attack, we consider two public exponents e1 and...

Fluorine polymers, commonly referred to as fluoropolymers, can greatly enhance the properties of coatings used in modern industrial, household and construction products. The qualities of fluoropolymer resins and oligomeric additives make them an ideal solution for applications requiring a high resistance to solvents, acids and bases, and most importantly an ability to significantly reduce frict...
