Reactive transport modelling of dissolved CO 2 in porous media iii Dedicated to my parents (late) and eldest sister. iv Reactive transport modelling of dissolved CO 2 in porous media v ABSTRACT The geological sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO 2) is seen as one of the options of mitigating the imbalance of greenhouse gas emissions and to avoid global warming. However, leakage of CO 2 from the ...

Red fleshed watermelons are an excellent source of the phytochemical lycopene. However, little is known about the stability of lycopene in cut watermelon. In this study, lycopene stability and other quality factors were evaluated in fresh-cut watermelon. Twenty melons each of a seeded (Summer Flavor 800) and a seedless (Sugar Shack) variety were cut into 5 cm cubes and placed in unvented polyst...

Cache based attacks (CBA) exploit the different access times of main memory and cache memory to determine information about internal states of cryptographic algorithms. CBAs turn out to be very powerful attacks even in practice. In this paper we present a general and strong model to analyze the security against CBAs. We introduce the notions of information leakage and resistance to analyze the ...

The simplest container of digital information is “the file” and among the vast array of files currently available, MS-Office files are probably the most widely used. The “Microsoft Compound Document File Format” (MCDFF) has often been used to host secret information. The new format created by Microsoft, first used with MS-Office 2007, makes use of a new standard, the ”Office Open XML Formats” (...

The assessment of the suitability CO 2 storage sites is basis for large-scale deployment Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) projects. However, research on in sedimentary basins relatively lagging behind China. Previous studies have focused sites, while social, economic environmental factors are ignored. This paper takes counties districts as objects, conducts a comprehensive evaluati...

The key-leakage-storage capacity regions for a hidden identifier’s noisy measurements at two terminals of a secrecy system are derived. The capacity regions of binary sources with multiple measurements are obtained by applying Mrs. Gerber’s lemma twice in different directions to a Markov chain to show gains in privacy-leakage as compared to assuming a noise-free identifier at the encoder.

the objective of this study was to evaluate the storage life and quality of persimmon (diospyros kaki thunb.) fruit cv. ‘karaj’ stored at 0°c for 4 months after postharvest calcium chloride treatment. fruit weight loss, fruit firmness, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, total phenolic content, soluble tannin content, chilling injury, antioxidant activity, electrolyte leakage, and malondi...

We present a relaxation model for memory based on a generalized coulomb potential. The model has arbitrarily large storage capacity and, in addition, well-defined basins of attraction about stored memory states. The model is compared with the Hopfield relaxation model.
