Collision bounds for the additive Pollard rho algorithm for solving discrete logarithms
Published in Journal of Mathematical Cryptology
We prove collision bounds for the Pollard rho algorithm to solve the discrete logarithm problem in a general cyclic group đ$\mathbf {G}$ . Unlike the setting studied by Kim et al., we consider additive walks: the setting used in practice to solve the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem. Our bounds differ from the birthday bound đȘ(|đ|)$\mathca...
Implementation and analysis of an adaptive multilevel Monte Carlo algorithm
Published in Monte Carlo Methods and Applications
We present an adaptive multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) method for weak approximations of solutions to ItĂŽ stochastic differential equations (SDE). The work [Oper. Res. 56 (2008), 607â617] proposed and analyzed an MLMC method based on a hierarchy of uniform time discretizations and control variates to reduce the computational effort required by a sing...
Integrating Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics Education
Published in Journal of Integrative Bioinformatics
Combined awareness about the power and limitations of bioinformatics and molecular biology enables advanced research based on high-throughput data. Despite an increasing demand of scientists with a combined background in both fields, the education of dry and wet lab subjects are often still separated. This work describes an example of integrated ed...
A hybrid model for modelling the salinity of the Tafna River in Algeria
Published in Journal of Water and Land Development
In this paper, the capacity of an Adaptive-Network-Based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for predicting salinity of the Tafna River is investigated. Time series data of daily liquid flow and saline concentrations from the gauging station of Pierre du Chat (160801) were used for training, validation and testing the hybrid model. Different methods wer...
Modeling and Simulating the Aerobic Carbon Metabolism of a Green Microalga Using Petri Nets and New Concepts of VANESA
Published in Journal of Integrative Bioinformatics
In this work we present new concepts of VANESA, a tool for modeling and simulation in systems biology. We provide a convenient way to handle mathematical expressions and take physical units into account. Simulation and result management has been improved, and syntax and consistency checks, based on physical units, reduce modeling errors. As a proof...
Rhetorical Strategies of Alterity in Arthur Learedâs Morocco and the Moors (1876) and Budgett Meakinâs Life in Morocco (...
Published in Prague Journal of English Studies
Arthur Learedâs Morocco and the Moors (1876) and Budgett Meakinâs Life in Morocco and Glimpses Beyond (1905) are two less-examined imperial travel texts on precolonial Morocco. These two travelogues are British (Irish and English, respectively) â a fact that casts on them from the beginning the special taste of this genre which is a British special...
Host-age effects and the efficiency of the pupal parasitoid Dirhinus giffardii (Silvestri, 1913) (Hymenoptera: Chalcidid...
Published in Polish Journal of Entomology
Dirhinus giffardii is an efficient and aggressive pupal parasitoid of tephritid flies, including Bactrocera cucurbitae. Here we report on the various biological aspects of Dirhinus giffardii, mainly hostage preference, potential as well as the survival of this parasitoid from the pupae of different ages and its in vivo release against Bactrocera cu...
Constructing elliptic curve isogenies in quantum subexponential time
Published in Journal of Mathematical Cryptology
Given two ordinary elliptic curves over a finite field having the same cardinality and endomorphism ring, it is known that the curves admit a nonzero isogeny between them, but finding such an isogeny is believed to be computationally difficult. The fastest known classical algorithm takes exponential time, and prior to our work no faster quantum alg...
Effect of DHA supplements during pregnancy on the concentration of PUFA in breast milk of Chinese lactating mothers.
Published in Journal of Perinatal Medicine
DHA intake >185 mg/day resulted in increased DHA concentrations in breast milk. This finding suggests that mothers with inadequate dietary intake of DHA should change their dietary habits to consume a diet rich in DHA or take sufficient DHA supplements to meet the average nutritional needs of infants.
