A Novel Approach to Communicate Secret Message Between Users Using Sponge Function Technique on NTRU
This paper presents a novel approach for a (key distribution) for secret message communication among a group (G). In order to increase security to distribute secret message (key), we introduce sponge functions using these at a specific permutation. We generate a key and distribute this key using (PKCS)(public key crypto systems), the absorbing, squeezing functions are used. In this paper an introduction part which briefs regarding sponge functions, key distribution centre, group communication and NTRU, key generation authentication, in literature review we describe about the research states of sponge functions, lightweight hash functions-KDC – NTRU. In proposed work we propose how the group communication establishes registration of users, entry and exit of a user. The encryption and decryption algorithm are used between sender and receiver. The entire proposed work is verified in VHDL and ‘MATLABS'. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.12777/ijse.4.2.2013.44-51 [How to cite this article: Varaprasad, S., Rao, K. V., & Avadhani, P. S. (2013).

First report of the lesion nematode Pratylenchus brachyurus on groundnut in India.
In India information on nematode
pests of groundnut and their damage is
very scanty and is largely restricted to
root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne fa vanica
and M. arenaria, and stunt nematode,
Tylenchorhynchus brevilineatus. In
1987 and 1988, we conducted preliminary
surveys in some groundnut producing
regions of Andhra Pradesh,....
REFU: Redundant Execution with Idle Functional Units, Fault Tolerant GPGPU architecture
The General-Purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU) with energy efficient execution are increasingly used in wide range of applications due to high performance. These GPGPUs are fabricated with the cutting-edge technologies. Shrinking transistor feature size and aggressive voltage scaling has increased the susceptibility of devices to intrinsic and extrinsic noise leading to major reliability issues in the form of the transient faults. Therefore, it is essential to ensure the reliable operation of the GPGPUs in the presence of the transient faults. GPGPUs are designed for high throughput and execute the multiple threads in parallel, that brings a new challenge for the fault detection with minimum overheads across all threads. This paper proposes a new fault detection method called REFU, an architectural solution to detect the transient faults by temporal redundant re-execution of instructions using the idle functional execution units of the GPGPU. The performance of the REFU is evaluated with standard benchmarks, for fault free run across different workloads REFU shows mean performance overhead of 2%, average power overhead of 6%, and peak power overhead of 10%
All-optical control of ferromagnetic thin films and nanostructures
The interplay of light and magnetism has been a topic of interest since the
original observations of Faraday and Kerr where magnetic materials affect the
light polarization. While these effects have historically been exploited to use
light as a probe of magnetic materials there is increasing research on using
polarized light to alter or manipulate magnetism. For instance deterministic
magnetic switching without any applied magnetic fields using laser pulses of
the circular polarized light has been observed for specific ferrimagnetic
materials. Here we demonstrate, for the first time, optical control of
ferromagnetic materials ranging from magnetic thin films to multilayers and
even granular films being explored for ultra-high-density magnetic recording.
Our finding shows that optical control of magnetic materials is a much more
general phenomenon than previously assumed. These results challenge the current
theoretical understanding and will have a major impact on data memory and
storage industries via the integration of optical control of ferromagnetic
bits.Comment: 21 pages, 11 figure
Resistance to Meloidogyne javanica in wild Arachis species
The root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne javanica Race 3, is an important nematode parasite of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea). Greenhouse evaluation of 184 accessions of 33 wild Arachis spp., five interspecific derivatives and 18 groundnut cultivars for root damage (galls formed by nematode) and nematode reproduction demonstrated that resistance to the nematode is available in the genepool of wild Arachis spp. Seven accessions, ICG8952 (Arachis helodes), ICC13211 (A. sylvestris), ICG13224 (A. kretscmeri), ICG13231 (Arachis sp.), ICG 14862 (A. kuhlmannii), ICG14868 (A. stenosperma) and ICG14915 (A. sylvestris) were highly resistant to nematode reproduction and root damage. There was no gall and eggmass formation on any plant of these accessions. Thirty-three accessions were resistant and 14 were moderately resistant. All the tested accessions of A. monticola, A. benensis, A. ipaensis, A. hoehnei, A. kempff-mercadoi, A. valida, A. chiquitana, A. rigonii, A. vallsii, A. dardani, A. paraguariensis, A. triseminata, interspecific derivatives and groundnut cultivars were susceptible. The possible use of resistance sources in breeding programmes is discussed
Biotechnological Approaches to Evolve Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) for Drought Stress Tolerance and Shoot fly Resistance
Sorghum is a model tropical grass that uses C4 photosynthetic activity. But its yield is affected by many abiotic stresses likeheat, drought, cold, salt and also biotic stresses such as shoot fly, midges, and stem borerfromseedling stages to maturity. This article summarizes the terminal drought stress tolerance mechanism with staygreen phenotype expression during postflowering and also mechanisms of early shoot fly resistance during seedling stages of crop growth. The trait stay-green is extensively studied and its correlation to yield makes the stay-green trait more special for research and in marker assisted back cross programs. Under terminal drought stress conditions, stay-green trait is expressed with a complex mechanism involving many transcription factors, chlorophyll retention and nitrogen remobilization from leaves to maintain longer photosynthetic activity. Shoot fly resistance on the other hand, involves manyphysico-chemical, biologicaland morphological traits. Out of the many morphological traits, seedling leaf blade glossiness and trichome density are well characterized at genetic level and can assist as shoot fly resistance sources in marker-assisted breeding programs as they are highly negatively correlated with shoot fly dead heart formation. However, quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping studies and candidate genes identified for the stay-green and shoot fly component traits need to be further validated with fine mapping, gene cloning and expression level studies. Pyramiding these two traits into a high yielding sorghum variety may lead to multiple stress resistance which could ultimately benefit the marginal farmers in India
Wild relatives of sorghum as sources of resistance to sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata
The levels of resistance to shoot fly, Atherigona soccata in sorghum germplasm are low to moderate and therefore, we evaluated 17 wild relatives of sorghum under field and greenhouse conditions as an alternate source of genes for resistance to this pest. Thirty-two accessions belonging to Parasorghum, Stiposorghum and Heterosorghum did not suffer any shoot fly damage under multi-choice conditions in the field, while one accession each of Heterosorghum (Sorghum laxiflorum) and Chaetosorghum (S. macrospermum) suffered very low shoot fly damage. Accessions belonging to S. exstans (TRC 243601), S. stipoideum (TRC 243399) and S. matarankense (TRC 243576) showed absolute non-preference for oviposition under no-choice conditions. Accessions belonging to Heterosorghum, Parasorghum and Stiposorghum were preferred for oviposition, but suffered low deadheart formation. Manual infestation of seedlings with shoot fly eggs did not result in deadheart formation in some of the accessions belonging to S. exstans (TRC 243601), S. stipoideum (TRC 243399), S. matarankense (TRC 243576) and S. purpureosericeum (IS 18944). Larval mortality was recorded in main stems of the Parasorghums. Within section Sorghum, accessions belonging to S. bicolor ssp. verticilliflorum were highly susceptible to shoot fly, as were those of S. halepense. However, a few accessions such as IS 18226 (race arundinaceum) and IS 14212 (S. halepense) resulted in reduced survival and fecundity. Wild relatives of sorghum exhibited very high levels of antibiosis to A. soccata, while only low levels of antibiosis have been observed in the cultivated germplasm. Therefore, wild relatives with different mechanisms of resistance can be used as a source of alternate genes to increase the levels and diversify the basis of resistance to shoot fly, A. soccata
