In this paper, we describe improvements to the function field sieve (FFS) for the discrete logarithm problem in Fpn , when p is small. Our main contribution is a new way to build the algebraic function fields needed in the algorithm. With this new construction, the heuristic complexity is as good as the complexity of the construction proposed by Adleman and Huang [2], i.e Lpn [1/3, c] = exp((c ...

By refering to the Bargaining Problem the economic literature means a situation in which a group of individuals seek to reach an agreement on a partition of a pie. Following Nash (1950) the two players bargaining problem is described using only two components (S, d) when d is a point in the plane which can be interpreted as the outcome when no agreement is reached and S is a compact convex subs...

From what we can observe, there is no symmetry between matter and antimatter in the Universe. All structures, from unimaginably large clusters of galaxies to microscopic human cells, are made of matter: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Though it is possible to produce antimatter—antiprotons, antineutrons, and positrons—in high-energy particle collisions, and even make medical use of positrons,...

The current study discovers how disabled people and elderly people use Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in different cultures and how they thought about it. Earlier literature lists several studies about ICT, disabled and elderly people, and little information about two countries Vietnam and Finland. The ICT usage of disabled and elderly people in these two countries may be diff...
