Side-Channel Attack (SCA) is an effective method in extracting the secret key of cryptographic algorithms by correlating the physical leakage information with the processed data. In this paper, we propose an arithmetic hiding cum Look-up Table (AHLUT) based Substitution-Box (S-Box) in AES-128 cryptographic algorithm implementation to countermeasure against SCA. There are three key features in…

In this paper, we propose an adaptive discrete-time fuzzy sliding mode control for a class of chaotic systems. For this aim, a discrete sliding mode controller and a fuzzy system are combined to achieve an adequate control. The Laypunov stability theorem is used to testify the asymptotic stability of the whole system and the consequence…

L-band SiGe HBT active differential equalizers with variable,  positive or negative gain slopes have been designed and fabricated for frequency and temperature compensation of microwave and optical systems. The active equalizer employs dual-resonant RLC circuits in the series feedback path of the differential amplifier for positive gain slopes or in the load for negative gain…

Traceability for some people, is merely a tool to keep a history over something important that happened in the past. For others, is has no added value to their actual processes or products. In fact, it is becoming more and more valued. Traceability is still a vast area of research and an undiscovered field that…

This article presents the instantiation of the Model of Adaptation of Learning Objects (MALO) developed in previous works, using the competencies to be developed in a given educational context. MALO has been developed for virtual environments based on an extension of the LOM standard. The model specifies modularly and independently two categories of rules, of…

In this paper, we exploit an integration between Compressive sensing (CS) and the random mobility of sensors in distributed mobile sensor networks (MSNs). A small number of distributed mobile sensors are deployed randomly in a sensing area to observe a large number of positions. The distributed mobile sensors sparsely sample the sensing area for data…

Modeling of direct expansion (DX) air conditioning and heat pump systems can be necessary in developing energy saving methods required to reduce energy consumption in buildings. The artificial neural networks (ANN) can be simple and reliable as compared to traditional methods. A properly trained artificial neural network can provide accurate results, while being relatively straightforward…

Our approach is divided on preprocessing phase, on which we proceed to the tokenization of the text, and formatting it…

In this paper, we investigate the performance of channel inversion schemes for interference cancellation with compensation network in multi-user MIMO broadcasting channel. To achieve good performance, mutual coupling between two-element compact arrays is characterized by the receiving mutual impedance method (RMIM) to formulate the compensation network-operating matrix. A prototype of two-element compensation network with an…

The article deals with the problem of increasing the accuracy of determination of aircraft’s navigation flight parameters. Increasing the accuracy and sensitivity of navigation parameters determination will improve the efficiency of air conveyance by optimizing the flight trajectories and reducing the flight time and simultaneously will ensure the sufficient level of air conveyance safety. The…

Frequency diverse array (FDA) antenna employs a small frequency increment, as compared with the carrier frequency, across antenna array elements. The use of a frequency increment generates an array factor that is dependent on angle, time, and the range and this yields a range and angle dependent beampattern. In this paper, a transmit array beamforming…

In the aim to manage and retrieve the organizational knowledge, in the last years numerous proposals of models and tools for knowledge management and knowledge representation have arisen. However, most of them store knowledge in a non-structured or semi-structured way, hindering the semantic and automatic processing of this knowledge. In this paper we present a…

Frequency diverse array (FDA) employs a small frequency increment across its array elements to provide range, angle and time dependent beampattern. In most radar systems, FDA with linear frequency offsets have been employed. But, its transmit beampattern is coupled in range and angle dimensions, which may degrade the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio performance. Note that nonlinear…

Zika virus (ZIKAV) is a flavi-virus, first isolated in 1947 in the Zika Forest of Uganda. ZIKAV is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus. ZIKAV is made up of two noncoding regions (5′ and 3′ ) that verge an open reading frame, which put into code a polyprotein smote into the capsid, precursor of membrane, envelope,…
