Garbled RAM, introduced by Lu and Ostrovsky (Eurocrypt 2013), provides a novel method to garble RAM (Random Access Machine) programs directly. It can be seen as a RAM analogue of Yao’s garbled circuits such that, the size of the garbled program and the time it takes to create and evaluate it, is proportional only to the running time of the RAM program, avoiding the inefficient process of first ...

An SDDS-2000 server currently manages only buckets in its RAM storage [C01]. Several buckets can coexist. When many files are created however, RAM storage space may not be sufficient for all the buckets simultaneously. When an application requests a bucket, but there is not enough room in RAM for it, one can evict some buckets to the disk. We define a number of promising eviction strategies. Ou...

a crossbreeding experiment involving four iranian fat-tailed sheep breeds, namely kurdi (k), chaal (c), afshari (a) and sanjabi (s) was carried out to determine the ram breed effects on productivity of kurdi fat-tailed ewes (k) under extensive production system. a total of 475 kurdi ewes were mated to 24 rams from four breeds producing 454 lambs including pure kurdi, kk, (116 lambs), afshari × ...

Vector Quantization (VQ) is a powerful techreported in the literature. One class of architectures is nique for low-bit rate image and video compression. However, VQ is a computational intensive technique. In this paper, a Computational RAM (C*RAM) implementation of VQ for real-time image compression is presented. The C*RAM architecture enables parallel search in the direction of codewords. The ...

The 7-methylguanosine cap added to the 5' end of mRNA is required for efficient gene expression in eukaryotes. In mammals, methylation of the guanosine cap is catalyzed by RNMT (RNA guanine-7 methyltransferase), an enzyme previously thought to function as a monomer. We have identified an obligate component of the mammalian cap methyltransferase, RAM (RNMT-Activating Mini protein)/Fam103a1, a pr...

This paper provides an exploration of the concept and content of Agile Manufacturing. It describes the nature of the content of AM and synthesises the literature to propose a comprehensive definition of purpose and process. Real Agile Manufacturing (RAM) is viewed as a strategic process; it is about surviving and prospering in the competitive environment of continuous and unpredictable change b...

This note proposes various axiomatizations of contingency logic under neighborhood semantics. In particular, by defining a suitable canonical neighborhood function, we give sound and complete axiomatizations of monotone contingency logic and regular contingency logic, thereby answering two open questions raised by Bakhtiari, van Ditmarsch, and Hansen. The canonical function is inspired by a fun...

BACKGROUND In order to rapidly assess nutrient intake, Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQ) have been developed and proven to be reliable for quick, user friendly analysis in adults. However, the accuracy of these questionnaires in children has been studied to a limited extent. The aim of this study was to compare the daily calcium intake values obtained from the Rapid Assessment Method (RAM), a...

Background: This study was carried out to assess the effects of MnTBAP, a cell permeable antioxidant, on motility, membrane integrity, capacitation status and in vitro fertilization ability of frozen-thawed ram semen. Materials and Methods: Fresh semen ejaculates were collected with artificial vagina from five rams, mixed and divided into five equal fractions, and diluted (1:20 v/v) with commer...
