Abstract Objectives: Skeletal muscle ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) occurs as a result of a marked reduction in arterial perfusion to a limb and can lead to tissue death and threaten limb viability. This work assessed the effects of 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) on hindlimb skeletal tissue following tourniquet-induced ischemia/reperfusion injury. Methods: Animals were divided into 4 groups—control group (Control), Control + 20E (C + 20E), mice with IRI (IRI), and mice with IRI + 20E (IRI + 20E). IRI was modeled by applying a tourniquet to the hind limb for 2 h with reperfusion for 1 h. 5 mg/kg… More >

Abstract We have proposed a flexible coprocessor key-authentication architecture for 80/112-bit security-related applications over field by employing Elliptic-curve Diffie Hellman (ECDH) protocol. Towards flexibility, a serial input/output interface is used to load/produce secret, public, and shared keys sequentially. Moreover, to reduce the hardware resources and to achieve a reasonable time for cryptographic computations, we have proposed a finite field digit-serial multiplier architecture using combined shift and accumulate techniques. Furthermore, two finite-state-machine controllers are used to perform efficient control functionalities. The proposed coprocessor architecture over and is programmed using Verilog and then implemented on Xilinx Virtex-7 FPGA More >

Abstract Since the end of the 1990s, cryptosystems implemented on smart cards have had to deal with two main categories of attacks: side-channel attacks and fault injection attacks. Countermeasures have been developed and validated against these two types of attacks, taking into account a well-defined attacker model. This work focuses on small vulnerabilities and countermeasures related to the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) algorithm. The work done in this paper focuses on protecting the ECDSA algorithm against fault-injection attacks. More precisely, we are interested in the countermeasures of scalar multiplication in the body of the… More >

Abstract Existing pressure drilling technologies are based on different principles and display distinct characteristics in terms of control pressure and degree of formation adaptability. In the present study, the constant-bottom-hole-pressure (CBHP) and controlled-mud-level (CML) dual gradient drilling methods are considered. Models for the equivalent circulating density (ECD) are introduced for both drilling methods, taking into account the control pressure parameters (wellhead back pressure, displacement, mud level, etc.) and the relationship between the equivalent circulating density curve in the wellbore and two different types of pressure profiles in deep-water areas. The findings suggest that the main pressure… More >
