Harmonizing the Assessment of the Impacts of Natural Disasters to Florida Agriculture by Christa Dean Court, Alan W Hodges, Matthew Lollar

“…Depending on the size and scope of the disaster, agricultural business owners and employees could suffer reduced earnings, financial insecurity, and social stress, and consumers could experience temporary food insecurity. Timely provision of credible estimates of agricultural losses after a disaster is critical to an official disaster declaration and to timely provision of disaster relief and recovery, but collecting data on agricultural losses can present challenges. …”

Design and implementation of high-speed scalar multiplier for multi-elliptic curve by Bin YU, Hai HUANG, Zhiwei LIU, Shilei ZHAO, Ning NA

“…Aiming at the problem that the existing scalar multiplier cannot be applied to multi-elliptic curve and the cost is expensive, a high-speed scalar multiplier was designed, applicable to two types of elliptic curves over prime fields.Firstly, in terms of the scalar multiplication, secp256r1 base points were processed with the comb algorithm, and the Shamir algorithm for ordinary points, and the Montgomery ladder algorithm for Curve25519.Secondly, the operation of point addition and point doubling was optimized, and the condition of Z=1 in point addition was simplified, thereby effectively reducing the number of calculation cycles.Lastly, a fast modular reduction algorithm of Curve25519 was designed for modular multiplication.Multiplexing was an important factor in the entire designing process.A 1022K equivalent gate was selected for the 55 nm CMOS process.This allowed ordinary point scalar multiplications performed on secp256r1 and Curve25519 respectively, calculating at the speeds of 153 000 times per second and 158 000 times per second, with the speed for secp256r1 1.9 times that of the existing designed one.…”

Optimization and research on RFID anti-collision algorithm based on adaptive multi-dimension division code by Zhi-jin LI, Jie ZHOU, IAO-Jie Q, Wen-juan WU

“…Under the circumstance of many tags and many collisions,when multi-dimension division code algorithm is applied,the average number of times the reader calls each tag C(n) approximated to a limit 4/3,and the data conveyed by calling each tag tends to be a relatively small constant.However,under the circumstance of few collisions,the average number of times the reader calls each tag and the average data conveyed were relatively large.The adaptive multi-dimension division code algorithm,and the optimization of adaptive multi-dimension division code algorithm were proposed.The adaptive multi-dimension division code algorithm could adaptively decrease the MDDC dimensions according to the numbers of tags,and encode the tags again,hence greatly decrease the average number of times the reader calls each tag even under the circumstance of few tags.Therefore,in RFID system,adaptive multi-dimension division code algorithm can significantly improve the efficiency of searching for tags no matter in many collisions or in few collisions.…”
