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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

The steady state of a dilute gas enclosed within a rectangular cavity, whose upper and lower sides are in relative motion, is considered in the slip and early transition regimes. The DSMC (Direct simulation Monte Carlo) method is used to solve the Boltzmann equation for analysing a Newtonian viscous heat conducting ideal gas with the slip and jump ...
