It has long been hypothesized that urban areas exert a direct influence on precipitation patterns in their immediate surroundings (Horton, 1921). Early studies focused on this influence through the use of point-observation comparisons of urban and rural areas to quantify the anthropogenic effects on precipitation (AEP) (Changnon Jr., 1968, Huff and Changnon Jr., 1973, Huff and Schickedanz, 1974...

Coughing and huffing have been shown to be effective airway clearance techniques and some authors have anecdotally reported that a huff requires less energy than a series of coughs commencing and finishing at the same lung volume. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a difference in the energy expenditure between periods of huffing and directed voluntary coughing commencing f...

Unified formula for computing elliptic curve point addition and doubling are considered to be resistant against simple power-analysis attack. A new elliptic curve formula known as unified binary Huff curve in this regard has appeared into the literature in 2011. This paper is devoted to analyzing the applicability of this elliptic curve in practice. Our paper has two contributions. We provide a...

This paper presents faster inversion-free point addition formulas for the curve y(1 + ax) = cx(1 + dy). The proposed formulas improve the point doubling operation count record from 6M + 5S to 8M and mixed addition operation count record from 10M to 8M. Both sets of formulas are shown to be 4-way parallel, leading to an effective cost of 2M per either of the group operations.
