Investigation on the efficency of methyl bromide gas on Spectrobates ceratoniae Zell. in store by M. S. Taheri, A. Farzaneh, B. Abazarian

“….- 2-There have been no significant difference among the various dosage of Methyl bromide, but the fruits treated with 50 g/m3 had shown some necrosis on the skin.3- Mean percentages of injured fruits treated with 35 and 40 g/m3 had been 20.96% and 21.43% respectively, indicating that only the fruits with larvae among the seeds were eliminated. In all the experiments the temperature of the fumigation chamber has been maintained between 20 - 26 C and the fruits were exposed to gas two hours.…”

Secondary nucleation guided noncovalent synthesis of dendritic homochiral superstructures via growth on and from surface by Sai Rachana Pramatha, Dasari Srideep, Udaijit Pattnaik, Rahul Sahu, Devamrutha Ilayidathu Suresh, Aditya Chandrakant Yadav, Chinmayee Muduli, Sandeep K. Reddy, Satyaprasad P. Senanayak, Kotagiri Venkata Rao

“…Detailed analysis of kinetics and temporal evolution of morphology indicates that the formation of dendritic homochiral superstructures proceeds via growth on the surface and growth from the surface of the seeds. The combination of these two processes leads to the formation of elegant homochiral superstructures with a size of ~0.4 mm2, having a superhelix at the center and helical fibres as branches. …”

Scheme on user identity attribute preserving based on ring signcryption for cloud computing by Shuan-bao LI, Jian-ming FU, Huan-guo ZHANG, Jing CHEN, Jing WANG, Bi-jun REN

“…Identity attribute leak as the most severe security threat of cloud computing,in order to solve this problem,a protection scheme of identity attributes based on ring signcryption was proposed.Focused on digital identity management in cloud service,which discusses user key parting management with decentralization.Users can choose some seeds for generation and storage of key,then integrated user key cannot be acquired by registrar,based on this payload on certifica-tion management is reduced.In addition,access-centric blindness ring signcryption verification for identity attribute is designed,which constitutes ring of users and CSP,combined with own attribute users can accomplish ring-oriented sub-linear blindness signcryption and non-interactive public ciphertext verifiability for messages so that integrity and confidentiality of identity attribute can be protected avoiding identity attribute leakage in collusion of multi-CSP.At last,strong blindness and unforgeability of ciphertext and attribute is proved in proposed model,three private key components can be generated by users and identity forgeability of ring member can be prevented successfully on the condition of DBDH difficult assumption and adaptive chosen-ciphertex tattacking.Effectiveness of proposed mechanism is verified via performance evaluation of blindness ring signcryption algorithm based on comprehensive payload in identity attribute protection,and optimization is confirmed compared with similar algorithms.…”
