The Parallel Architecture—application and explanatory power for neurolinguistic research by Esther Odilia Breuer, Ferdinand Christoph Binkofski, Ferdinand Christoph Binkofski, Antonello Pellicano

“…Our results indicate that the framework is generally well-suited to illustrate many language processes and to explain how language systems are built. However, to increase its explanatory power, it would be beneficial to add other linguistic and non-linguistic structures, or to signal that there is the option of adding such structures (e.g., prosody or pragmatics) for explaining the processes of initiating language acquisition or non-typical language acquisition. …”

Assessment of the Possibility of Transition Power Boilers to Alternative Solid Fuels by Modeling Combustion Processes by V. B. Prokhorov, V. S. Kirichkov, S. L. Chernov, M. V. Fomenko

“…When converting boilers to alternative fuels, the main problems are: slag of the furnace shields and heating surfaces located above the furnace; fouling of convective heating surfaces; instability of non-designed fuel combustion; abrasion of the convective part of boilers; reduction of environmental performance; change in operating conditions of dust preparation, slag removal, ash collection and fuel supply systems. Before conducting experimental combustion of alternative fuels, it is advisable to carry out a preliminary assessment of its combustion possibility using numerical simulation, which makes it possible to identify emerging problems in advance. …”

Public key cryptographic algorithm SM2 optimized implementation on low power embedded platform by Ganqin LIU, Hui LI, Hui ZHU, Yukun HUANG, Xingdong LIU

“…With the development of wireless communication technology and the popularization of intelligent terminals, more and more cryptographic algorithms are applied to IoT devices to ensure the security of communication and data.Among them, the SM2 elliptic curve public key cryptography proposed by the State Cryptography Administration is an elliptic curve public key cryptography algorithm developed domestically, which has the advantages of high security and short key.SM2 has been widely deployed in various communication systems and is used in essential parts such as identity authentication and key negotiation.However, since SM2 involves large integer operations on finite fields, the computational cost is high, and its execution on a low-power embedded platform seriously affects the user experience.Therefore, an efficient implementation scheme of SM2 algorithm for low-power embedded platform was proposed for ARM-m series processors.Specifically, Thumb-2 instruction set was adopted to handle carry and save addressing cycles, basic operations such as modulo addition and sub-traction of large integers were optimized, and the number of available registers on the platform was combined to build efficient basic operations.Besides, based on the short multiplication and accumulation instruction cycle of ARM-m series processors, the implementation of Montgomery multiplication was optimized, and an efficient modular multiplication scheme was designed in combination with the CIOS algorithm.The scheme was no longer limited to Mersenne primes, and greatly improved the speed and flexibility of modular multiplication.Based on the theoretical analysis and experimental test, the window length selection method of the multiple point-scalar multiplication wNAF sliding window method on the embedded platform was given.The experimental test results show that the proposed scheme can effectively improve the computational efficiency of the SM2 algorithm on the resource-constrained low-power embedded platform.Without pre-calculation, the test signature speed can reach 0.204s/time, the signature verification speed is 0.388s/time, the encryption speed is 0.415s/time, and the decryption speed is 0.197s/time.…”
