A Hardware and Secure Pseudorandom Generator for Constrained Devices
2018
Hardware security for an Internet of Things or cyber physical system drives the need for ubiquitous cryptography to different sensing infrastructures in these fields. In particular, generating strong cryptographic keys on such resource-constrained device depends on a lightweight and cryptographically secure random number generator. In this research work, we have introduced a new hardware chaos-based pseudorandom number generator, which is mainly based on the deletion of an Hamilton cycle within the $N$ -cube (or on the vectorial negation), plus one single permutation. We have rigorously proven the chaotic behavior and cryptographically secure property of the whole proposal: the mid-term eff…
Sequential Mining Classification
2017
Sequential pattern mining is a data mining technique that aims to extract and analyze frequent subsequences from sequences of events or items with time constraint. Sequence data mining was introduced in 1995 with the well-known Apriori algorithm. The algorithm studied the transactions through time, in order to extract frequent patterns from the sequences of products related to a customer. Later, this technique became useful in many applications: DNA researches, medical diagnosis and prevention, telecommunications, etc. GSP, SPAM, SPADE, PrefixSPan and other advanced algorithms followed. View the evolution of data mining techniques based on sequential data, this paper discusses the multiple …
Internal Structure and Dynamics of the Decamer D(ATGCAGTCAG) 2 In Li + -H 2 O Solution: A molecular Dynamics Simulation Study
2003
Molecular dynamics simulation of the decamer d(ATGCAGTCAG) 2 in aqueous solution, electroneutralized by Li + ions has been carried out. Emphasis is on the verification of the equilibrium conditions and the related structural and dynamical properties. Applicability of the kinetic part of Boltzmann's H function as a measure of thermodynamic equilibrium is tested. Overall structural stability has been confirmed by different RMSDs. Conformational and helicoidal parameters have been analyzed statistically and dynamically. Dynamical analysis reveals the existence of dynamical sub-states, which typically appear as abrupt changes from a mean level to another in the value of parameter. In statistica…
Crystalline multilayers of charged colloids in soft confinement: experiment versus theory.
2012
We combine real-space experiments and lattice sum calculations to investigate the phase diagram of charged colloidal particles under soft confinement. In the experiments we explore the equilibrium phase diagram of charged colloidal spheres in aqueous suspensions confined between two parallel charged walls at low background salt concentrations. Motivated by the experiments, we perform lattice sum minimizations to predict the crystalline ground state of point-like Yukawa particles which are exposed to a soft confining wall potential. In the multilayered crystalline regime, we obtain good agreement between the experimental and numerical findings: upon increasing the density we recover the sequ…
Semiclassical Methods for the Description of Large Metal Clusters
1996
One of the most fascinating aspects of clusters is that they can be made arbitrarily large and therefore provide links between the microscopic and the macroscopic world. It is challenging to study how their physical properties change when going from atoms and small molecules to the bulk limit of condensed matter. But also the models and mathematical tools themselves, which are used in order to tackle the many-body problem, are an object of study for the theoretician. In particular, the question of how far quantum-mechanics must be carried with increasing size and where classical pictures become appropriate is of great interest. In this spirit, we discuss here some semiclassical methods for …
Convergence of KAM iterations for counterterm problems
1998
Abstract We analyse two iterative KAM methods for counterterm problems for finite-dimensional matrices. The starting point for these methods is the KAM iteration for Hamiltonians linear in the action variable in classical mechanics. We compare their convergence properties when a perturbation parameter is varied. The first method has no fixed points beyond a critical value of the perturbation parameter. The second one has fixed points for arbitrarily large perturbations. We observe different domains of attraction separated by Julia sets.
The role of fire within Neolithic collective burials: Spatial analyses of cremains from the site of La Truie Pendue, France
2016
International audience; The use of collective graves is one of the main features of the western European Late Neolithic. A single gravesite received the successive deposition of dozens or sometimes hundreds of individuals. While cremations or even full-fired inhumation layers are often found within these funerary deposits, the actual role of fire is still poorly understood. Recently discovered within the important archaeological complex of Passy (Yonne, France), the burned collective grave of La Truie-Pendue provides an outstanding case study to examine the use of fire within Neolithic funerary rites. In this study, we develop a new contextual approach to bone alterations in order to recons…
Environmental drivers and abrupt changes of phytoplankton community in temperate lake Lielais Svētiņu, Eastern Latvia, over the last Post-Glacial per…
2021
Understanding the long-term dynamics of ecological communities on the centuries-to-millennia scale is important for explaining the emergence of present-day biodiversity patterns and for predicting possible future scenarios. Fossil pigments and ancient DNA present in various sedimentary deposits can be analysed to study long-term changes in ecological communities. We analysed recent compilations of data, including fossil pigments, microfossils, and molecular inventories from the sedimentary archives, to understand the impact of gradual versus abrupt climate changes on the ecosystem status of a regional model lake over the last ~14.5 kyr. Such long and complete paleo-archives are scarce in No…
Statistical analysis of engraving traces on a 3D digital model of prehistoric stone stelae
2016
International audience; Studying cultural heritage artefacts, using 3D digital models, is gaining interest. It not only allows applications in documentation and visualisation, but also permits further contact-less examination. In this paper, we are presenting a statistical analysis of stone engravings based on features that were semi-automatically extracted from 3D acquisition data. Our objects of study are two Neolithic stone stelae and a faithful replica that was created in the course of an archaeological study. We use common statistical methods and investigate the populations of depth and diameter of the engraving traces, as well as their correlation. We observe that the erosion of the t…
A Case Study to evaluate the indoor global quality
2013
This paper proposes two complementary procedures for assessing the global quality comfort: the first one, prevalently objective, is based on the acquisition of microclimate measured data and computed subjective values; the second one, that is purely subjective, uses a questionnaire drawn from the ISO/DP 10551 Recommendation. An application to some lecture-halls and laboratories of the school is here showed.
