512 bit-SHA3 design approach and implementation on field programmable gate arrays

In this work, the authors consider the newly selected Hash Secure (SHA-3) algorithm on FPGA Gateway. The design is logically optimized for zone efficiency by combining the Rho steps and the one-pass algorithm. Logically recording these three steps registers leads to usage 16% of the logical resources for all implementations. This in turn reduces the latency and increases the maximum operating frequency of the project. It uses only 240 sections and has a frequency of 301.02 MHz compared to the design results with the previous FPGA implementation described in SHA3-512, the design shows the Throughput-Per-Slice (TPS) ratio of 30, 1

Fuzzy-Set Based Privacy Preserving Access Control Techniques in Cloud (FB-PPAC)

The word “Cloud” refers to network or internet. It is present at.remote location. Cloud computing is a latest mechanism used now-a-days for accessing, manipulating and configuring applications online via internet. It allows users for online data storage, various applications and infrastructure. There are few downsides of cloud computing like in public cloud sharing of data, selected data shared with users of various level without confidentiality and privacy of data. Different methods were used to fix this problem like encryption of attribute; encryption of access control but they have their own problems related to big computation for accquiring access structure, invoking and behavior management. So for removing these weakness, the combination of fuzzy-set theory and RSA algorithm has been introduced. Fuzzy-set is used for clustering the data based on their points. Further for privacy, I have included RSA for encryption and decryption of data which is used to store in cloud database. The analysis of my experiment shows the system is efficient, flexible and provides confidentiality of the data

The RESPONSE OF SUGARCANE GENOTYPES SUBJECTED TO SALINITY STRESS AT DIFFERENT GROWTH PHASES: RESPONSE OF SUGARCANE GENOTYPES SUBJECTED TO SALINITY STRESS AT DIFFERENT GROWTH PHASES: Abstract, Introduction,materials & Methods, Resultls & Discussion, Conclusion.

 A few commercial sugarcane genotypes were subjected to salinity stress at various growth phases of sugarcane to ascertain the critical growth stage for salinity stress and to assess the response of the genotypes. All the data were recorded and analysed during maturity phase. The salt treatments drastically reduced SPAD chlorophyll, chlorophyll fluorescence, RWC, stalk height, weight and other yield parameters in a few genotypes during T2 (salt treatment given during formative phase) & T5 (salt treatment given throughout crop cycle) but a few genotypes which are tolerant towards salt stress gave better results comparing other genotypes. The ions like sodium, potassium and chloride were analysed in the juice which showed higher elevation in the genotype Co 97010. Among the genotypes, Co 85019 and Co 99004 recorded significantly prime compared to rest of the genotypes. Treatment throughout the growth phases (T5) followed by stress at formative phase (T2) were found to be critical for growth, physiological and yield responses in all the genotypes

Type of Study: Prospective observational study Study Period: Between January 2014 to June 2014 a prospective study of 50 consecutive infants of diabetic mothers admitted at Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital was under taken. Study Population All infants of diabetic mothers admitted in neonatal intensive care unit in Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital were included in the study. Sample Size: 50 consecutive infants of diabetic mothers admitted in neonatal intensive care unit in Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital. Inclusion Criteria All live born infants of mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus, type 1 insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, type 2 non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Exclusion Criteria: Infants of diabetic mothers with severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Mothers with TORCH infections. Mothers with systemic lupus erythematosus. Mothers on teratogenic cardiotoxic drugs. Babies with other syndromic anomalies. Method of Study: Infants of diabetic mellitus will be evaluated in the first 10 days of life by detailed clinical examination with special reference to cardiovascular system. Chest X-ray Electrocardiogram Echocardiography All the above mentioned investigations will be done after obtaining informed consent from the mothers. Observation Among the 50 cases studied 27 were male and 23 were female. Among the 50 diabetic mothers 90% of mothers were booked and treated, 10% of mothers were unbooked and not treated. Among the mothers included in this study 84% had GDM and 16% had pregestational DM. Among the diabetic mothers 60% were given insulin and 30% were on meal plan. Among the treated mothers 60% were compliant and 30% were non- compliant. Results: Among the 50 infants studied 30% had congenital heart diseases of which acyanotic congenital heart diseases accounted for 26% and cyanotic congenital heart diseases accounted for 4%. Among the IDM babies 12% had clinical manifestations, radiological findings and 10% had electrocardiographic findings. 30% of IDM babies had echocardiographic findings. The congenital heart diseases observed in this study include Heart Disease Frequency Percentage HOCM 5 10% PFO 2 4% ASD 2 4% VSD 2 4% PDA 2 4% TOF 1 2% TGV 1 2% Negative 35 70% Inference Untreated mothers had more number of infants with congenital heart diseases than treated mothers. Cases which were not detected by clinical examination, radiological investigation, and electrocardiography were detected by echocardiography. Clinical manifestations were positive in 56.4% of the cases with congenital heart disease. Radiological investigations were positive in 56.4% of the cases with congenital heart disease. Electrocardiographic findings were positive in 50.9% of the cases with congenital heart disease. Echocardiography was positive in 100% of the cases with congenital heart disease. Echocardiography remains the gold standard investigation for the diagnosis of congenital heart diseases in infants of diabetic mother. Hence all infants of diabetic mother must undergo echocardiographic investigation before their discharge for earlier diagnosis and appropriate management of congenital heart diseases. Infants of diabetic mother must undergo echocardiography as a routine as early as possible. Earlier recognition, precise assessment of the cardiac status and appropriate management of cardiac complications might reduce both the morbidity and mortality among babies born to diabetic mothers
