Differential power analysis (DPA) attacks can be of major concern when applied to cryptosystems that are embedded into small devices such as smart cards. To immunize elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECCs) against DPA attacks, recently several countermeasures have been proposed. A class of countermeasures is based on randomizing the paths taken by the scalar multiplication algorithm throughout its ...

The gene for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is amplified or overexpressed in high-grade gliomas but is low or undetectable in normal brain. Recently, there has been increasing interest in using epidermal growth factor (EGF)-based bioconjugates as targeting agents for brain tumors. In the present study, we have investigated the potential use of boronated EGF as a delivery agent for boro...

We present a lightweight leaf node routing algorithm and implementation for the BSD networking stack and discuss why the new approach was difficult to implement. The key idea in the algorithm was to observe that end hosts will always send packets to the default gateway and therefore are not required to do actual routing. By removing routing functionality not required for embedded devices, the s...

In this paper, we investigate a Bayesian sparse reconstruction algorithm called compressive sensing via Bayesian support detection (CS-BSD). This algorithm is quite robust against measurement noise and achieves the performance of an minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimator that has support knowledge beyond a certain SNR thredhold. The key idea behind CS-BSD is that reconstruction takes a dete...

OBJECTIVE Bipolar Spectrum Disorder (BSD) is a severe psychiatric disorder associated with a host of deleterious sequelae. While researchers have found a robust link between parenting variables and psychopathology for youth with BSD, few have examined positive parenting factors and associated psychopathology for these youth. Furthermore, conclusions from extant literature are hindered by a) exp...

Eclipse/BSD is an operating system derived from FreeBSD. Eclipse/BSD provides flexible and fine-grained Quality of Service (QoS) support for (server) applications. We have implemented hierarchical proportionalshare cpu, disk and link schedulers, the /reserv file system providing an API to manipulate ”reservations” and a tagging mechanism for the association of reservations with schedulable oper...

A common problem when maintains software in a heterogeneous environment are the need to maintain executable for several platforms and/or operating system versions. Ideally this should be done from a single source tree. This papers gives a overview of The Depot, Xheir and the make (1) as it appears in BSD Net2. Further, the BSD Net2 make is compared to The Depot and Xheir, and some practical exp...

At the atomic scale, uranium–plutonium mixed oxides (U,Pu)O 2 are characterized by cationic chemical disorder, which entails that U and Pu cations randomly distributed on cation sublattice. In present work, we study impact of disorder point defect formation energies in using interatomic-potential density functional theory (DFT + U) calculations. We focus bound Schottky defects (BSD) among most ...
