Adaptation of the modular number system in threshold secret sharing schemes by A. F. Chernyavskiy, A. I. Kazlova, V. S. Sadov, A. A. Kolyada

“…The results of the presented work allow to conclude for modular threshold cryptosystems of secret sharing in distributed data processing systems that the use of a linear masking function and narrowing the range of changes in the masking analogue S̃ of the original secret S, allowing for minimally redundant coding for the selected p1, p2, …, pn, causes a significant reduction in the computational complexity of the calculated minimal-redundant modular arithmetic relations of integral characteristics within the framework of the model under study. …”

THE INFLUENCE OF SOIL DENSITY AND THE CHARACTER OF RADIOACTIVE 134Cs And 137Cs POLLUTION’S DISTRIBUTION ON in situ MEASUREMENTS by A. I. Zhukouski, O. M. Anshakou, A. O. Nichyparchuk, P. M. Marozik, S. A. Kuten

“…As a result of theoretical estimations, the relationship between the effective radius of contaminated site is determined as a function of soil density.Analysis of the influence of radial zones of the cylindrical gamma source on in situ gamma-spectrometer showed that the main contribution to the total count rate of the pulse-amplitude spectrum is made by the radial zone with radius of up to 40 cm from the center of the probe, regardless of the thickness of the contaminated layer in geometry «Probe is located on the soil surface». …”
