In this paper we present an algorithm for finding low-weight multiples of polynomials over the binary field using coding theoretic methods. The code defined by the public polynomial is cyclic, allowing an attacker to search for any shift of the sought codeword. Therefore, a code with higher length and dimension is used, having a larger number of low-weight codewords. Additionally, since the degree of

While research on the design of heterogeneous concurrent systems has a long and rich history, a unified design methodology and tool support has not emerged so far, and thus the creation of such systems remains a difficult, time-consuming and error-prone process. The absence of principled support for system evaluation and optimization at high abstraction levels makes the quality of the resulting im

Abstract in UndeterminedSoftware deployment, including both clean installs and updates, is a crucial activity for all software vendors. It starts with a customer's order of a new release and incorporates all steps taken until the customer is satisfied with the deployed product. Using interviews as the main data collection method, we conducted a case study of four companies to discover their softwa

Surgical conditions exert a major health burden in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet surgery remains a low priority on national health agendas. Little is known about the national factors that influence whether surgery is prioritised in LMICs. We investigated factors that could facilitate or prevent surgery from being a health priority in three LMICs.

We introduce the notion of random self-decomposability and discuss its relation to the concepts of self-decomposability and geometric infinite divisibility. We present its connection with time series autoregressive schemes with a regression coefficient that randomly turns on and off. In particular, we provide a characterization of random self-decomposability as well as that of marginal distributio

Image warping for spatial forecast verification is applied to the test cases employed by the Spatial Forecast Verification Intercomparison Project (ICP), which includes both real and contrived cases. A larger set of cases is also used to investigate aggregating results for summarizing forecast performance over a long record of forecasts. The technique handles the geometric and perturbed cases with

PalCom is a pervasive middleware that enables users to combine services from different devices into assemblies, or usage scenarios. The mechanism of device discovery in PalCom builds an ad-hoc network of interconnected devices while replacing cross-network periodic keep-alive messages with timely forwarded events that notify devices about the discovery and undiscovery of each other. Moreover, the

Due to the possibility of increased efficiency and reduced emissions, Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) is a promising alternative to conventional internal combustion engines. Ignition timing in HCCI is highly sensitive to operating conditions and lacks direct actuation, making it a challenging subject for closed-loop control. This paper presents physics-based, control-oriented modeli

In this study, we evaluated 10 months data (September 2009 to June 2010) of atmospheric aerosol particle number size distribution at three atmospheric observation stations along the Baltic Sea coast: Vavihill (upwind, Sweden), Uto (upwind, Finland), and Preila (downwind, Lithuania). Differences in aerosol particle number size distributions between the upwind and downwind stations during situations

Purpose: People with acquired neurogenic Communication Disorders (PwCD) experience reduced satisfaction in healthcare environments, possibly relating to communication difficulties. Communication Partner Training might improve communication success. The purpose of the scoping review was to map the literature about educational experiences in teaching communication strategies to healthcare students (

We report 17 new solar activity cycles with periodicities ranging from 1,700 to 18,000 years. Using Bayesian spectral analysis we determined for each cycle period, amplitude and phase for the past 145,000 years. These results were obtained by analyzing 10Be in the 2775 m long EDML ice core from Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. In addition, we have augmented the 10Be data with synchronous ice accumu

The non line-of-sight (NLOS) scenario in urban intersections is critical in terms of traffic safety—a scenario where Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication really can make a difference by enabling communication and detection of vehicles around building corners. A few NLOS V2V channel models exist in the literature but they all have some form of limitation, and therefore further research is need. I

Connected autonomous vehicles and industry 4.0 productions scenarios require ultra-reliable low-latency communication links. The varying positions of transmitter, reflecting objects and receiver cause a non-stationary time- and frequency-selective fading process. In this paper, we present the necessary hardware architecture and signal processing algorithms for a real-time geometry-based channel em

In this paper, we consider a wireless communication system where a large intelligent surface (LIS) is deployed comprising a number of small and distributed LIS-Units. Each LIS-Unit has a separate signal process unit (SPU) and is connected to a central process unit (CPU) that coordinates the behaviors of all the LIS-Units. With such a LIS system, we consider the user assignments both for sum-rate a

Time-dependent ensemble averages, i.e., trajectory-based averages of some observable, are of importance in many fields of science. A crucial objective when interpreting such data is to fit these averages (for instance, squared displacements) with a function and extract parameters (such as diffusion constants). A commonly overlooked challenge in such function fitting procedures is that fluctuations
