We first give an analysis on Zhang et al.’s attack on a short signature scheme so called ZCSM scheme and point out their forgery attack is not correct one. Furthermore, we present a forgery attack under the chosen message and public key attacks on ZCSM scheme, in the sense of Zhang et al.’s attack. We also analyze Zhang et al.’s improved signature scheme suggested to resist their attacks and po...

Plasmonic metamaterials are composite, artificial materials, consisting of metallic resonant building blocks designed with state-of-the-art configurations. Many exotic phenomena not occurring in nature such as negative refraction (Burgos et al., 2010; Dolling et al., 2006; Lezec et al., 2007; Liu et al., 2008; Pendry, 2000; Shalaev, 2007; Shelby et al., 2001; Smith et al., 2000; Valentine et al...

Knowledge of the protein structure is considered a precondition for understanding their function. Crystallography remains the most powerful tool in that context, but crystal structure determination of macromolecules is often hampered by a lack of crystals suitable for diffraction. In our work, we have studied the crystallization of human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) i...

Unforgeability and blindness are two important properties of blind signature. The latter means that after interacting with various users, the signer is unable to link a valid message-signature pair. In ICCSA 2006, Zhang et al. showed that a signer in an identity-based blind signature scheme proposed by Huang et al. is able to link a valid messagesignature pair obtained by some user. They also p...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) implies the presence of progressive cognitive decline to the point an individual cannot manage their daily affairs (dementia), in conjunction with intraneuronal accumulations of tau protein (tangles) in defined cortical regions and extracellular cortical accumulations of beta amyloid protein (Aβ plaques). Our ability to define AD does not mean we fully understand it; AD...

Magnesium alloys as degradable implant materials in orthopaedic research received a lot of interest in recent years (Witte et al., 2007a; Xu et al., 2008; Zhang et al., 2010). The application of resorbable implant material avoids an implant removal surgery and therewith helps to diminish the costs and the burden for the patient. In comparison to other degradable implant materials like polymers,...

Stromal interaction molecules (STIMs) STIM1 and STIM2 in the ER function as luminal Ca sensors that activate the calcium release–activated calcium (CRAC) channels CRACM1/2/3 (Orai1/2/3) in the plasma membrane after store depletion and give rise to the store-operated CRAC current (ICRAC) (Liou et al., 2005; Roos et al., 2005; Zhang et al., 2005; Feske et al., 2006; Spassova et al., 2006; Vig et ...
