The ease of programming offered by the CUDA programming model attracted a lot of programmers to try the platform for acceleration of many non-graphics applications. Cryptography, being no exception, also found its share of exploration efforts, especially block ciphers. In this contribution we present a detailed walk-through of effective mapping of HC-128 and HC-256 stream ciphers on GPUs. Due t...

Neonatal female rat pups that were raised artificially on a high-carbohydrate (HC) milk formula during their suckling period developed hyperinsulinemia immediately, maintained chronic hyperinsulinemia in the postweaning period on laboratory diet, and developed obesity in adulthood. Pups (second-generation HC [2-HC]) born to such female rats (first-generation HC [1-HC]) spontaneously developed c...

The structural similarities of the heavy chains (HC) of myosin isolated from atria and ventricles of hyper-, hypo-, and euthyroid rabbits were compared by immunological analysis, by one- and two-dimensional peptide mapping, and by electrophoresis under nondenaturing conditions. Monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, which are specific for HC alpha of ventricular myosin, cross-reacted equally wit...

Background—A T-cell–mediated inflammatory response occurs in the microcirculation during acute hypercholesterolemia. The objective of this study was to define the contribution of T-lymphocyte–derived interferon(IFN) to the leukocyte–endothelial cell adhesion induced by hypercholesterolemia. Methods and Results—Intravital videomicroscopy was used to quantify the adhesion and emigration of leukoc...

Health Check (HC) was a voluntary nutrition labeling program developed by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada as a guide to help consumers choose healthy foods. Items meeting nutrient criteria were identified with a HC symbol. This study examined the impact of the program on differences in consumer awareness and use of nutritional information in restaurants. Exit surveys were conducted wi...

Part I of this paper introduced the hyperbolic class (HC) of quadratic/bilinear time-frequency representations (QTFR’s) as a new framework for constant-Q time-frequency analysis. The present Part II defines and studies the following four subclasses of the HC: • The localized-kernel subclass of the HC is related to a timefrequency concentration property of QTFR’s. It is analogous to the localize...

Heat capacity (HC) has an important role in the temperature regulation process, particularly in dealing with the heat load. The actual measurement of the body HC is complicated and is generally estimated by body-composition-specific data. This study compared the previously known HC estimating equations and sought how to define HC using simple anthropometric indices such as weight and body surfa...

OBJECTIVES To explore the availability and utilization of the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended priority life-saving medicines for children under five in public health facilities in Uganda. METHODS We conducted a cross sectional survey in 32 lower level public facilities in Jinja district of Uganda. A proportionate number of facilities were randomly selected in each stratum followin...

We analyze the crossover from an hc /e periodicity of the persistent current in flux-threaded clean metallic rings toward an hc /2e-flux periodicity of the supercurrent upon entering the superconducting state. On the basis of a model calculation for a one-dimensional ring we identify the underlying mechanism, which balances the hc /e versus the hc /2e periodic components of the current density....
