This paper evaluates the security level of the River Keyak against the cube-like attack. River Keyak is the only lightweight scheme of the Keccak-permutation-based Authenticated Encryption Cipher Keyak, which is one of the 16 survivors of the 3rd round CAESAR competition. Dinur et al. gave the sevenround cube-like attack on Lake Keyak (1600-bit) using the divide-and-conquer method at EUROCRYPT ...

this report provides the first record of the exotic sucker fish p. pardalis from the cauvery river system, tamilnadu state, india. information on the assumed presence of this invasive species based on sightings of a hitherto unknown species by local people and fishermen in stretches of cauvery river have been confirmed by our study. sailfin sucker fishes are popular among pet traders and aquari...

for the purpose of sustainable exploitation of the fishery resources of oni river, ogun state, nigeria, the fish biodiversity assessment was carried out. this was conducted by enumerating and identifying fish species composition, measuring the fish length, fish weight, assessing the fish abundance and biomass, determining the length-weight relationships and the length-frequency of the fishes. a...

The goal of this paper is to introduce an adjoint approach for calculating stream depletion in a river that is hydraulically connected to an aquifer. This paper presents the coupled forward and adjoint equations of flow in an unconfined aquifer, a confined aquifer, and in a river. Flow in the river is assumed to follow Manning’s equation, and the river is assumed to have a wide, rectangular cro...

The Illinois River is one of the major tributaries of the Mississippi River in the central United States with a drainage area of 75,156 square kilometers. The Illinois River connects the Great Lakes with the Mississippi River through the Illinois Waterway that consists of eight lock and dams along the Illinois River and its tributaries. Because of its central location in the state and being the...

the present study aimed to compare the efficiency of bmwp, aspt and diversity indices in environmental monitoring of temporal rivers. for this purpose, four sampling stations were selected along the kheiroudkenar river and macroinvertebrates were sampled monthly with three replicates (from july 2012 to november 2013). bmwp and aspt were calculated using the specific scores of each family. our r...

The paper presents the state-of-the-art in flood forecasting and simulation applied to a river flood analysis and risk prediction. Different water flow forecasting and river simulation models are analysed. An advanced river flood forecasting and modelling approach developed within the ongoing project INFROM is described. It provides an integrated procedure for river flow forecasting and simulat...

Overview The 257 km Mohawk River is the second longest river in New York State with the lower 47 km located within the Capital District (Albany-Schenectady-Troy) area, the state’s fourth largest metropolitan area. The river is also part of the New York State Barge Canal system. The magnitude of the resource, its close proximity to large numbers of people, and environmental assessment needs rela...
