Generic distinguishers against Feistel Network with up to 5 rounds exist in the regular setting and up to 6 rounds in a multi-key setting. We present new cryptanalyses against Feistel Networks with 5, 6 and 7 rounds which are not simply distinguishers but actually recover completely the unknown Feistel functions. When an exclusive-or is used to combine the output of the round function with the ...

The destruction of atropine (nn-hyoscyamine) was first reported by Fleischmann over 50 years ago (1). Subsequently, it was demonstrated that this destruction is mediated by a hydrolytic enzyme (2) which is detectable in the sera and organs of but a fraction of rabbits (3). Genetic analysis indicates that atropinesterase (EC 3.1 .l. 10) activity is inherited as an incompletely dominant Mendelian...

This paper proposes an abstract and generic topological model that captures the essence of P2P architecture. Such model should in return facilitate the exploitation of the new design space for more novel P2P systems. The paper also proposes a variant of the cube-connected cycles as a P2P overlay network that achieves O(log N) path length with O(1) neighbors. The simulation result has shown that...

In this paper a special complex Kn of abstract cubes [2, 3], which contains only n-dimensional cubes is examined. The border of this complex is an abstract (n − 1)-dimensional sphere. It is proved that the abstract sphere contains at least one 0dimensional cube, which belongs to exactly n cubes with dimension 1, if the complex is a homogeneous n-dimensional tree. This result allows to solve, in...

Enzymes, as biological catalysts, form the basis of all forms of life. How these proteins have evolved their functions remains a fundamental question in biology. Over 100 years of detailed biochemistry studies, combined with the large volumes of sequence and protein structural data now available, means that we are able to perform large-scale analyses to address this question. Using a range of c...

This paper presents a novel featurebased semantic role labeling (SRL) method which uses both constituent and dependency syntactic views. Comparing to the traditional SRL method relying on only one syntactic view, the method has a much richer set of syntactic features. First we select several important constituent-based and dependency-based features from existing studies as basic features. Then,...

Preparata and Vuillemin proposed the cube-connected cycles (CCC) in 1981 16], and in the same paper, gave an asymptotically-optimal layout scheme for the CCC. We give a new layout scheme for the CCC which requires less than half of the area of the Preparata-Vuillemin layout. We also give a non-trivial lower bound on the layout area of the CCC. There is a constant factor of 2 between the new lay...

Glucuronidation mediated by uridine 5'-diphospho (UDP)-glucuronosyltransferase is an important detoxification pathway. However, identifying a selective probe of UDP- glucuronosyltransferase is complicated because of the significant overlapping substrate specificity displayed by the enzyme. In this paper, desacetylcinobufagin (DACB) 3-O- and 16-O-glucuronidation were found to be isoform-specific...

The induced matching partition number of a graph G, denoted by imp(G), is the minimum integer k such that V(G) has a k-partition (V1, V2 ... Vk ) such that, for each i, 1 ≤ i ≤ k, G[Vi], the subgraph of G induced by Vi, is a 1-regular graph. The induced matching k-partition problem is NP-complete even for k = 2. In this paper we investigate the induced matching partition problem for butterfly n...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of three cycling cadences on a subsequent 3000 m track running performance in well trained triathletes. METHODS Nine triathletes completed a maximal cycling test, three cycle-run succession sessions (20 minutes of cycling + a 3000 m run) in random order, and one isolated run (3000 m). During the cycling bout of the cycle-run sessions, subjects had to maint...
