AES Password Encryption Technique

In recent years the cases of hacking have increased at an exponential rate. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a National Institute of Standards and Technology specification for the encryption of electronic data. It is expected to become the accepted means of encrypting digital information, including financial, telecommunications, and government data. In this paper we explain the importance and the need for encryption and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm for password encryption. Included is a complete AES algorithm.

The effects of subgingival application of ozonated olive oil gel in patient with localized aggressive periodontitis. A clinical and bacteriological study

AbstractThis study evaluates the effect of subgingival application of ozonated olive oil gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in aggressive periodontitis.Material & methodsThirty patients were randomly selected and equally divided into: Group I received SRP only, group II received SRP and ozonated olive oil gel (Oxactiv). Subgingival application of ozone gel was performed following initial SRP and at 7, 14 and 21 days. Clinical measurements included pocket depth (PD), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP) and clinical attachment level (CAL). Real time PCR was carried out to determine the effect of the treatment on both Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg). Clinical measurements and Plaque samples for PCR were recorded at baseline, one, three and six months after treatment.ResultsThe results showed improvement in all clinical parameters in (group II) which was maintained up to six months (P < 0.05). However, this improvement was best following one month but gradually decrease at 3 and 6 months. Whereas SRP alone resulted in a significant improvement only up to one month for BOP, PPD and CAL parameters and up to three months for the PI and GI scores as compared to baseline values.Microbiological resultsRevealed significant reduction of the mean Pg and Aa DNA copies at 1 and 3 months for (groupII), whereas group I resulted in slight reduction up to 1 month only followed by gradual increase reaching baseline values. There was no significant difference between groups at three and six months regarding Pg DNA copies. There was a significant difference between groups at the one and three months periods in term of number of Aa copies (P < 0.001, P < 0.05 respectively).ConclusionThe study concluded that (Oxactiv) gel could be a promising adjunct to SRP in the treatment of aggressive periodontitis

Metastable states from multinucleon excitations in Tl 202 and Pb 203

The excited level structures of Tl202 and Pb203, above the 7+ and 29/2- isomers, respectively, have been studied. An isomer with Iπ=20+ and T1/2=215(10)μs has been established in Tl202, and the level scheme extended from I=10 to 20ℏ with the placement of fifteen new transitions. In Pb203, the Iπ=37/2+ state is established to be metastable, with T1/2=2.5(3)ns. Levels in both nuclei arise from intrinsic excitations, with likely particle-hole character for the higher-lying states in Pb203. The 20+ isomer in Tl202 is most likely associated with a πh11/2-1 - ν(i13/2-2,f5/2-1) configuration, while the 37/2+ state in Pb203 results from the excitation of five neutrons. Calculations, using both an empirical approach and the oxbash code, have been performed to aid in the description of the excited level structure

ATLAS Roman Pots at LHC Run 3 Detector Status

ALFA and AFP detectors are being prepared to take data during the LHC Run 3. ALFA underwent refurbishment whereas AFP, among other upgrades, was equipped with a new solution for the Time-of-Flight system, the so-called Out-of-Vacuum solution. AFP Silicon Tracker is equipped with new modules and ToF, after various testbeams, seems to achieve desired resolution with high efficiency. As a part of the 2022 13.6 TeV data was already taken, the AFP detector performance during Run 3 will be briefly discussed

On Design of a Triple Elliptical Super Wideband Antenna for 5G Applications

A novel compact triple elliptical monopole antenna has been designed, analyzed and fabricated for super wideband applications. To enhance the impedance bandwidth, the author proposed a monopole antenna with a triple elliptical patch excited by a $50\Omega$ triangular tapered microstrip feedline. Further improvement is achieved by optimally modifying the Defected Ground Structure (DGS) of the antenna. The proposed patch structure is mounted on a Roger&#x2019;s RT-Duroid 5880 substrate ( $\epsilon _{r}$ &#x003D; 2.2, tan $\delta = 0.0009$ ) and has compact physical dimensions of 27 mm $\times29.5$ mm. The fabricated antenna covers the frequency band from 1.91 GHz to 43.5 GHz for $\text{S}_{11}\leq -10$ dB with a fractional bandwidth of &#x003E; 183.17&#x0025; and has a ratio bandwidth of 22.77:1. This extended bandwidth coverage permits the antenna to operate for wide range of application including 5G and Internet of Things (IoT). The proposed antenna has a very high Bandwidth Dimension Ratio (BDR) of 5761.87 which makes it the best candidate for superwideband antenna. Far field measurements disclose an omnidirectional radiation pattern across the frequency of operation. Further, the farfield Radar Cross Section (RCS) is analyzed through simulation and it is to be noted that relatively low values are obtained through out the frequency of operation. In addition, the compactness of the proposed antenna is theoretically verified with the aid of fundamental dimension limit theorem

Cross subject emotion identification from multichannel EEG sub-bands using Tsallis entropy feature and KNN classifier

Abstract Human emotion recognition remains a challenging and prominent issue, situated at the convergence of diverse fields, such as brain–computer interfaces, neuroscience, and psychology. This study utilizes an EEG data set for investigating human emotion, presenting novel findings and a refined approach for EEG-based emotion detection. Tsallis entropy features, computed for q values of 2, 3, and 4, are extracted from signal bands, including theta-θ (4–7 Hz), alpha-α (8–15 Hz), beta-β (16–31 Hz), gamma-γ (32–55 Hz), and the overall frequency range (0–75 Hz). These Tsallis entropy features are employed to train and test a KNN classifier, aiming for accurate identification of two emotional states: positive and negative. In this study, the best average accuracy of 79% and an F-score of 0.81 were achieved in the gamma frequency range for the Tsallis parameter q = 3. In addition, the highest accuracy and F-score of 84% and 0.87 were observed. Notably, superior performance was noted in the anterior and left hemispheres compared to the posterior and right hemispheres in the context of emotion studies. The findings show that the proposed method exhibits enhanced performance, making it a highly competitive alternative to existing techniques. Furthermore, we identify and discuss the shortcomings of the proposed approach, offering valuable insights into potential avenues for improvements

Heritability Studies in Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) Genotypes

Genetic variability, heritability, and genetic advance for fruit yield and quality traits in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) were examined at Main Vegetable Research Station (MVRS) of Anand Agricultural University, Anand, for the kharif-rabi season of 2022-23. The experimental material is made-up of six families developed for generation mean analysis from nine diverse parents viz., 2012/TODVAR-1, AVTOV 1007, GAT-5, 2015/TOLCV RES-1, 2014/TOOV-10, 2016/TOV-10, 2017/TOLV-4, and 2015/2016/TOLCV RES-4. The results show that family I, II, III, and family V exhibited higher values of broad sense heritability with higher genetic advance, was a positive indication of presence of additive gene action and suggests selection methods for improvement of this trait via selection procedures. Higher values of genetic advance were reported highest for lycopene content (452.67 %) for family I and (212.85 %) for family III, 1000 seed weight for family V. This study suggests that improvement of yield and associated traits in L. esculentum should be focused on character basis and requirement of breeding programs
