  • TCS_SHA-3 is a family of four cryptographic hash functions that are covered by a United States patent (US 2009/0262925). The digest sizes are 224, 256, 384 and 512 bits. The hash functions use bijective functions in place of the standard compression functions. In this paper we describe first and second preimage attacks on the full hash functions. The second preimage attack requires negligible time and the first preimage attack requires $O(2^{36})$ time. In addition to these attacks, we also present a negligible time second preimage attack on a strengthened variant of the TCS_SHA-3. All the attacks have negligible memory requirements. To the best of our knowledge, there is no prior cryptanalysis of any member of the TCS_SHA-3 family in the literature.

  • 본 논문에서는 동시적 위치 추정 및 지도 작성 (simultaneous localization and mapping)에서 루프 폐쇄 검출을 딥러닝 방법의 일종인 variational autoencoder 를 이용하여 수행하는 방법에 대해 살펴본다. Autoencoder 는 비감독 학습 방법의 일종으로 입력 영상이 신경망을 통과하여 얻은 출력 영상과 동일하도록 신경망을 학습시키는 모델이다. 이 때 autoencoder 중간의 병목 지역을 통과함에도 불구하고 입력과 동일한 영상을 계산해야 하는 제약조건이 있기 때문에 이는 차원 축소나 데이터 추상화의 목적으로 많이 사용된다. 여기서 한 단계 더 발전된 variational autoencoder 는 기존의 autoencoder 가 가진 단점인 입력 변수의 분포와 잠재 변수의 분포 사이에 상관관계가 없다는 단점을 해결하기 위해 Kullback-Leibler divergence 를 활용한 손실 함수를 정의하여 사용했다. 실험결과에서는 루프 폐쇄 검출에서 많이 사용되는 City-Centre 와 New College 데이터 집합을 사용하여 평가하였으며 루프 폐쇄 검출의 결과는 정밀도와 재현율을 계산하여 나타냈다.

  • We propose an algorithm for the automatic acquisition of a bilingual lexicon in the legal domain. We make use of a parallel corpus of bilingual court judgments, aligned to the sentence level, and analyse the bilingual context profiles to extract corresponding legal terms in both languages. Our method is different from those in past studies as it does not require any prior knowledge source, and naturally extends to multi-word terms in either language. A pilot test was done with a sample of ten legal terms, each with ten or more occurrences in the data. Encouraging results of about 75% average accuracy were obtained. This figure does not only reflect the effectiveness of the method for bilingual lexicon acquisition, but also its potential for bilingual alignment at the word or expression level.

  • To prevent or limit the damage caused by earthquakes on existing buildings, several retrofitting techniques are possible. In this work, an ultra high performance concrete based on sand dune has been formulated for use in the reinforcement of a multifunctional tower in the city of Skikda in Algeria. Tests on the formulated ultra high performance concrete are performed to determine its characteristics. A nonlinear dynamic analysis, based on the "Pushover" method was conducted. The analysis allowed an optimization of the width of reinforced concrete walls used in seismic strengthening. Two types of concrete are studied, the ordinary concrete and the ultra high performance concrete. Both alternatives are compared with the reinforcement with carbon fibers and by base isolation retrofit design.

  • We examine the major factors governing the travel time for commuters in the Seoul metropolitan area. To identify the determinants of the commuting time for residents with jobs in the city centre, a multiple regression analysis is performed using household survey data. The results reveal that commuters in Seoul place higher value on time than on living space. Thus, we may conclude that recent trends in income segregation in Seoul are not the result of increased housing demand but of dispersed jobs and better amenities offered in the suburbs.

  • The design concepts using vibration reduction techniques, or structural control, have been proposed recently to protect infrastructure against earthquakes. The magnetorheological(MR) fluid damper is one of the most promising new devices for structural vibration reduction because of its mechanical simplicity, high dynamic range, low power requirement, large force capacity and robustness. In this study, the seismic performance of MR devices are compared with that of NZ systems as an attempt to provide some data for improving seismic design techniques applied to structures. For nonlinear time domain analysis of a base isolation system, a six-story building model is considered as a numerical example. The ground acceleration data of El Centre 1940, Mexico City 1985 and Kobe 1995 earthquakes are used as seismic excitations. The results show that MR damper systems for outperform NZ systems in wide-ranging seismic excitations with respect to intensity and period characteristics.

  • As Asia becomes increasingly integrated economically, opportunity particularly in managing financial flows, as bases to coordinate regional production networks, and as staging points for the penetration of new markets. The paper argues for a path-dependent logic to understanding the efforts of the Singapore State in hosting hub functions. As a city-state without a national economic hinterland, Singapore's response to increasing business costs and regional competition has been to create a set of policies designed to encourage multinational companies to keep administrative control functions in Singapore while moving the more labour and land intensive production functions to nearby Malaysia and Indonesia. An understanding of the competition among cities in the Asia Pacific for hub functions must also take into account corporate strategy within particular industry dynamics. The second half of the paper provides a number of case studies to show this interplay between corporate strategy, industry dynamic and government policy.

  • The paper presents the field investigations and seismic analyses of a historical masonry brick minaret damaged during October 23 (Erciş) and November 9 (Edremit), 2011 Van earthquakes in Turkey. Ulu Mosque Minaret located on Tebriz Kap1 Street in the city centre of Van, Turkey is selected for investigation. Two earthquakes hit the minaret within seventeen days, causing progressive damage. It was seen from the field investigations that the minaret was heavily damaged. To validate the field investigations, three dimensional finite element model of the minaret is constituted by ANSYS software using relievo drawings. Finite element model of the minaret is analyzed under the Van earthquake records to determine the seismic behavior. The displacements, maximum and minimum principal stresses and strains are obtained from the analyses and compared with field observations.

  • Background Fat grafting, or lipofilling, represent frequent clinically used entities. The fate of these transplants is still not predictable, whereas only few animal models are available for further research. Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals which can be conveniently tracked in vivo due to photoluminescence. Methods Fat grafts in cluster form were labeled with cadmium-telluride (CdTe)-QD 770 and transplanted subcutaneously in a murine in vivo model. Photoluminescence levels were serially followed in vivo. Results Tracing of fat grafts was possible for 50 days with CdTe-QD 770. The remaining photoluminescence was $4.9%{\pm}2.5%$ for the QDs marked fat grafts after 30 days and $4.2%{\pm}1.7%$ after 50 days. There was no significant correlation in the relative course of the tracking signal, when vital fat transplants were compared to non-vital graft controls. Conclusions For the first-time fat grafts were tracked in vivo with CdTe-QDs. CdTe-QDs could offer a new option for in vivo tracking of fat grafts for at least 50 days, but do not document vitality of the grafts.
