Insights into Geographic and Temporal Variation in Fatty Acid Composition of Croton Nuts Using ATR-FTIR by Nathan W. Bower, Murphy G. Brasuel, Eli Fahrenkrug, Matthew D. Cooney

“…Croton megalocarpus seedcake oils from 30 different locations in south central Kenya were analyzed for their fatty acid composition using ATR-FTIR to determine the efficacy of a simple procedure for measuring initial geographic and subsequent temporal variation during five months of seed storage. To our knowledge, this is the first report showing variation in how oils in untreated nuts from different locations change during storage, and how these differences are correlated with local environments. …”

Novel self-renewal hash chain scheme based on (t,n) threshold and division tree by Hai-ping HUANG, Ting DAI, Ru-chuan WANG, Xiao-lin QIN, Jiu-tian CHEN

“…The introduction of renewal hash chain overcame resource-constrained defect in traditional hash chains,but the existing renewable schemes had still held unsatisfactory performance especially on security and complexity.The definitions of repetition,division and division-tree was proposed,and then a novel self-renewable hash chain construction scheme was put forward based on division and (,t n)-Mignotte's threshold Chinese remainder theorem secret sharing scheme.From three aspects of key space,twice authent ion and provable security,it theoretically proves that the proposed hash scheme could ensure the novel seed value regenerated safely and resisting the middle-man attack effectively.Simulation experiments demonstrate that the novel scheme obtains equal or more satisfactory performances on the costs of communication,computation and storage than typical schemes.…”
