The inhibition effect of Capsella bursa-pastoris extracts (CBE) and its synergistic effect with KI (CBEK) for Q235 mild steel in 1 M HCl solution were studied by electrochemical measurements. Both CBE and CBEK can serve as eco-friendly, mixed-type inhibitors, and the inhibition efficiency increases with the concentration and temperature. The synergistic parameter (SI) indicates a cooperative me...

Recently, Al-Riyami and Paterson proposed a generic conversion from CL-PKE (Certificateless Public Key Encryption) to CBE (Certificate Based Encryption) and claimed that the derived CBE scheme is secure and even more efficient than the original scheme of Gentry. In this paper, we show that their conversion is wrong due to the flaw of the security proof. It leads the new concrete CBE scheme by A...

Problem statement: In facial biometrics, face features are used as the required human traits for automatic recognition. Feature extracted from face images are significant for face biometrics system performance. Approach: In this thesis, a framework of facial biometric was designed based on two subspace methods i.e., Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). Firs...

Certificate-based encryption (CBE) is a new public key encryption paradigm which combines traditional PKI-based public-key encryption (PKE) and identity-based encryption (IBE), and preserves some of their most attractive features. CBE provides an efficient implicit certificate mechanism and allows a periodical update of certificate status. It eliminates third-party queries for the certificate s...

Cryptolepis buchanani Roem. & Schult. is widely used in folk medicine in Southeast Asia for treating muscle tension and arthritis. This study aimed to investigate an analgesic activity of the methanol extract of C. buchanani (CBE) in acetic acid-induced writhing response in mice, and to examine its anti-inflammatory activity in ethyl phenylpropiolate- (EPP-) induced ear edema and carrageenan-in...

BACKGROUND Breast cancer burden is high in low-income countries. Inadequate early detection contributes to late diagnosis and increased mortality. We describe the training program for Malawi's first clinical breast exam (CBE) screening effort. METHODS Laywomen were recruited as Breast Health Workers (BHWs) with the help of local staff and breast cancer advocates. The four-week training consis...

CBE is pleased to launch a new feature called Points of View (POV). POVs address issues faced by many people within the life sciences education realm. We will present two or more opposing POVs back-to-back on a particular topic to promote discussion on the selected topic. Readers are encouraged to participate in the online discussion forum hosted by CBE at www.cellbioed.org/discussion/public/ma...

Little information is available on associations between rhinitis and chronic bronchitis/emphysema (CBE). Self-reported upper airway symptoms, asthma, and CBE were examined in 12,079 adults living in southern Sweden. The response rate was 70% (n=8,469), of whom 33% reported significant nasal symptoms: a blocked nose was reported by 21%; sneezing by 18%; nasal discharge by 17%; and thick yellow n...
