An implementation for a fast public-key cryptosystem

In this paper we examine the development of a high-speed implementation of a system to perform exponentiation in fields of the form GF(2 ⁿ ). For sufficiently large n, this device has applications in public-key cryptography. The selection of representation and observations on the structure of multiplication have led to the development of an architecture which is of low complexity and high speed. A VLSI implementation has being fabricated with measured throughput for exponentiation for cryptographic purposes of approximately 300 kilobits per second.     

Key processing with control vectors

A method is presented for controlling cryptographic key usage based on control vectors. Each cryptographic key has an associated control vector that defines the permitted uses of the key within the cryptographic system. At key generation, the control vector is cryptographically coupled to the key by way of a special encryption process. Each encrypted key and control vector are stored and distributed within the cryptographic system as a single token. Decryption of a key requires respecification of the control vector. As part of the decryption process, the cryptographic hardware verifies that the requested use of the key is authorized by the control vector. This article focuses mainly on the use of control vectors in cryptosystems based on the Data Encryption Algorithm.     

基于小波包和包络分析的滚动轴承故障自动诊断方法

提出了一种基于峭度-小波包-包络分析的滚动轴承故障自动诊断方法。首先用峭度系数判断是否出现故障,再针对故障轴承振动信号非平稳和调幅的特点,用小波包将信号分解到不同的节点上。然后将不同节点的重构信号做包络谱分析,将谱峰处的频率同滚动轴承内圈、外圈、滚珠、保持架等的故障频率进行对比分析,在此基础上,运用最小距离判别法则自动获得故障原因,从而实现滚动轴承故障的自动诊断。通过对实验中采集到的轴承振动信号进行分析,证明了该方法在轴承早期故障诊断中的有效性。     

Non-parametric empirical Bayes procedure

In this paper we introduce an empirical Bayes procedure for estimating an unknown parameter, say θ. This procedure gives the empirical Bayes estimator for θ and its associated minimum posterior risk in closed forms without estimating the unknown prior density function of θ. In such procedure the posterior probability density function of θ is not required. A sufficient statistic for θ with conditional probability density function in the one parameter exponential family is required. Instead of estimating the unknown prior density function, the marginal density function of the sufficient statistic must be estimated. As special cases the empirical Bayes estimators and their respective minimum posterior risks of the failure rate for the exponential distribution, the unknown scale parameters of Weibull and gamma distributions are obtained in simple forms as special cases. Numerical results and a simulation study are introduced to (i) investigate how the number of available past experiments and the sample size of each influence the accuracy of the empirical Bayes estimator, (ii) make a comparison between the presented procedure and the Bayes procedure when the prior probability density function of the parameter θ is gamma.     

一种新的图像水印方案

目标区域是图像中视觉上最重要的部分。针对现有的水印算法很少考虑图像中确定的目标区域这一问题，提出了一种基于目标区域的水印方案(WIOR)。方案首先利用小波变换分析图像的目标特征，并依据图像的小波高频系数特征对其进行聚类，获得水印的嵌入域，在此嵌入域中，选择小波系数并对其进行量化调制来嵌入二值扩谱水印；同时，通过只在图像的局部区域内嵌入较少的水印信息来改善水印的隐蔽性。实验结果表明，该方案对于一类具有突出目标特征的图像具有较好的效果。嵌入的水印主要优势在于真正把水印嵌入图像的视觉重要部分，从而能有效地抵御剪切攻击，而且可以实现盲检测。

Reliability and stability of executive functioning in older adults.

A number of methodological questions have been raised about the reliability and validity of measuring executive functioning (EF) across multiple time points. In this study, correlational and latent-variable analyses were used to examine test-retest reliability of 5 common measures of EF and the stability of a latent EF construct. One hundred eighteen nondemented older adults were tested twice over a 4- to 8-week period. Findings demonstrated modest reliability of individual EF measures but very high stability of a latent EF construct. Relative contributions of each measure to the latent EF factor did not change across measurement trials. In addition, age-related effects on EF were similar at the 2 time points and were within the expected range. Implications for future studies of EF are discussed.

高沸石配比陶瓷纤维复合纸制备中助留剂的选择

考察了沸石复合纸板制备中助留剂对无机物留着的影响。结果表明,PDADMAC或A-PAM单元体系、PVAm/A-PAM二元助留体系的作用效果差,PDADMAC/A-PAM二元助留体系的留着效果显著,PDADMAC的相对分子质量对留着效果的影响不大,PDADMAC与A-PAM的电荷量比是决定无机物留着的主要因素,本研究的条件下,最佳正负电荷量比为3.0～5.0。     

A general variance predictor for Cavalieri slices

A general variance predictor is presented for a Cavalieri design with slices of an arbitrary thickness t ≥ 0. So far, prediction formulae have been available either for measurement functions with smoothness constant q = 0, 1, … , and t ≥ 0, or for fractional q ∈ [0, 1] with t = 0. Because the possibility of using a fractional q adds flexibility to the variance prediction, we have extended the latter for any q ∈ [0, 1] and t ≥ 0. Empirical checks with previously published human brain data suggest an improved performance of the new prediction formula with respect to the hitherto available ones.
