In smartcard encryption and signature applications, randomised algorithms are used to increase tamper resistance against attacks based on side channel leakage. Mist is one of these. As is the case with the classical m-ary and sliding windows exponentiation algorithms, the most significant half of the public modulus yields information which can be used to halve the number of key digits which nee...

SHEPPARD L.J. 1996. How reproducible are the reactions of stress indicators for Sitka spruce treated with acid mist? Phyton (Horn, Austria) 36 (3): (23) (30). Results of previously published experiments based on open-top chambers and field exposure systems with seedlings, mature grafts and physiologically mature trees (<13m tall) of Sitka spruce exposed to pH 2.5 mist are discussed briefly for ...

This paper develops understanding and appropriate techniques for characterising mist generation from super-saturated liquid-air systems. Whilst the technology for this technique originates from Wilson (1897), to date mainly a qualitative understanding of the relationship between mist characteristics and initial control conditions exists. Here, an improved design of cloud chamber, which facilita...

Exposure to metalworking fluids (MWF) mist and cross-shift decrements in peak expiratory flow (PEF) were evaluated and their relationship was analyzed using several statistical methods. The objective of this study was to assess workers, exposure to MWF mineral mist and to find the MWF mist level for predicting cross-shift decrements in PEF. A total of 158 workers handling water-soluble MWF had ...

The present work is an attempt to offer a comprehensive review of literature contributions, phenomenology and relevant results on water-mist systems. In particular, the water mist characterization and behavior in the field of fire control and suppression have been identified as the main areas of investigation. Some key parameters have been analyzed to gain a quantitative evaluation of the physi...

In this paper, we describe an experimental study of the phenomenon of spray cooling in the case of liquid helium, either normal or superfluid, and its relationship to the heat transfer between an atomized diphasic flow contained in a long pipe, and the pipe walls. This situation is discussed in the context of the cooling of the superconducting magnets of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Experim...

The study assesses the contribution of aerosols to the extinction of visible radiation in the mist–fog–mist cycle. Relative humidity is large in the mist–fog–mist cycle, and aerosols most efficient in interacting with visible radiation are hydrated and compose the accumulation mode. Measurements of the microphysical and optical properties of these hydrated aerosols with diameters larger than 0....

Constant-effort mist-netting has become an increasingly popular tool in longterm monitoring of bird populations. Monitoring programs often assume that variation in the capture rates of adults reflects variation in breeding densities of the sampled population. We test this assumption by comparing annual variation in mist-net capture rates to known variation in breeding densities of four species ...
