In this paper, we present a novel authenticated group key distribution scheme for large and dynamic multicast groups without employing traditional symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic operations. The security of our scheme is mainly based on the basic theories for solving linear equations. In our scheme, a large group is divided into many subgroups, where each subgroup is managed by a subgroup key manager (SGKM) and a group key generation center (GKGC) further manages all SGKMs. The group key is generated by the GKGC and then propagated to all group members through the SGKMs, such that only authorized group members can recover the group key but unauthorized users cannot. In addition, all authorized group members can verify the authenticity of group keys by a public one-way function. The analysis results show that our scheme is secure and efficient, and especially it is very appropriate for secure multicast communications in large and dynamic client-server networks.

A simple and rapid method to estimate the viscosity of chitosan using laboratory pipettes was developed. The voscosities of nine different chitosan samples, prepared ini 1 % acetic acid at a 1% concentration , were measured with a standard viscometer. Prior to measurement of flow time of 1% chitosan solution with a pipette, twelve pipettes were assorted into three groups with flow times of 4, 5 and 6 sec after measuring passage of 9 ml of 1% acetic acid througth a 10 ml pipette. With each group of pipettes. flow time of 1% chitosan solution was determined by measuring the delivery time of 5 ml of the 10ml solution through a 10 ml pipette. Results of regression analyses revealed high linear relationship(R2=0.9812, 0.9663, and 0.9754) between viscosities calculated with a viscometer and flow times measured with 4, 5 or 6 sec group pipettes. The viscosity of chitosan could be readily and accurately estimated from these linear regression equation by measuring flow times based on pipette delivery.

These days buildings have more possibilities to occur construction delay as many variables and risks are inherent in them due to the enlargement and complexity. When a project is delayed, it generates extra working expenses and this causes a dispute between the employer and the constructor. Most construction sites conduct emergency construction work to recover the delay of the project duration. When an emergency construction is carried out in the actual construction site, it's necessary to utilize and distribute the proper working groups based on the procedure of successor and predecessor. Many constructions, however, have been going only with more number of work forces and working time. This study suggests a process management optimization plan with an application of emergency construction scenario by using linear programing.

Since a glycerol molecule has three active sites, two ${\alpha}$ and one ${\beta}$ hydroxyl groups; it undergoes condensation by releasing water molecules to produce linear, nonlinear and heterocyclic oligomers. The Gibbs free energy (G), enthalpy (H) and internal energy (E) of 7 diglycerol, 15 triglycerol and 23 tetraglycerol isomers were calculated at B3LYP level of theory using 6-311++G(d, p) basis set, in both gas and aqueous phases. Linear oligomers, ${\alpha}{\alpha}$-diglycerol, ${\alpha}{\alpha}$, ${\alpha}{\alpha}$-triglycerol and ${\alpha}{\alpha}$, ${\alpha}{\alpha}$, ${\alpha}{\alpha}$-tetraglycerol, were found to be the most stable oligomers in aqueous phase. It was found that the stability of cyclic oligomers decreases as the size of their rings increases. Cyclic oligomers are produced by dehydration of the acyclic ones which is an endothermic reaction while its ${\Delta}G$ is negative. The dehydration reaction is less endothermic in aqueous phase.

Schools are expected to ultimately moderate the difference of inequality issues among social groups and reduce the achievement gaps. This study investigates this expectation, in particular, how students' mathematics achievements are influenced by their parents' education at the individual level and by collective responsibility for teaching at the school level as well as the interaction of the two. Using a two-level hierarchical linear model, this study indicates that a school collective responsibility has a larger positive effect on students' mathematics achievement when their parents' education level is high. This means that school's collective responsibility accelerates inequity in students' mathematics achievement. Knowing that collective responsibility has less of an effect on students whose parents' education is not high, researchers, schools, and school districts should continue to search for school effects that have more of a positive impact on the relationship between mathematics achievement for students whose parents' education is not high in order to have more equitable results for all students.

The researcher analyzes the relationship between the number of neighbors and the prediction accuracy in the preference prediction process using collaborative filtering system. The number of neighbors who are involved in the preference prediction process are divided into four groups. Each group shows a little difference in the preference prediction. By using prediction error averages in each group, linear functions are suggested. Through the result of this study, the accuracy of preference prediction can be raised when using linear functions by using the number of neighbors in the suggested system.

The dissociation kinetics of linear polyaminopolycarboxylate complexes of lanthanide ions (L$n^{3+}: Ce^{3+},\;Eu^{3+}\;and\;Yb^{3+}$) has been studied in an aqueous solution of 0.10 M (NaCl$O_4$) at 25.0${\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$ using Cu(II) ions as a scavenger. The dissociation rates of acid-catalyzed pathway decrease in the order Ln(EPDTA$)^- > Ln(DPOT)^- > In(TMDTA)^- > Ln(MPDTA)^- > Ln(EDTA)^- > Ln(PDTA)^- > Ln(DCTA)^-$ according to the present and literature data. An increase in the N-Ln-N chelate ring from 5 to 6 and substitution of two methyl groups, one ethyl and hydroxyl group on a chelate ring carbon of these ligands leads to a decrease in kinetic stabilities of the complexes. The substitution of one methyl group and cyclohexyl ring on a ring carbon, however, results in a significant increase in the kinetic stability of the resulting $Ln^{3+}$ complexes. Individual reaction steps taking place for each system, with different copper, acetate buffer concentration and pH dependence, are also discussed.

Chelating triphosphines were applied to freeze the fluxionality and to minimize the number of isomers found in the monophosphine analogues and this technique was proved to be useful. RuH(NO)$P_3$($P_3$; Cyttp, ttp and etp) complexes were characterized to have similar trigonal bipyramidal structures with linear NO groups. Cyttp prefers to have a meridional geometry while etp prefers a facial one and ttp complexes are mixture of these two isomers. The crystal structure of RuH(NO)(Cyttp) has been determined to have a distorted trigonal bipyramidal structure with a linear NO in the equatorial plane. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group $P_{nma}$, with unit cell dimensions a = 16.356(2), b = 20.474(2), c = 10.915(l) ${\AA}$, V = 3655 ${\AA}^3$, Z = 4, R = 0.035 and $R_w$ = 0.034 for the 2900 intensities with $F_o^2 >3{\sigma}(F_o^2)$ and the 208 variables.

Let G be a compact connected semisimple Lie group, B the Killing form of the algebra g of G, and g the invariant metric induced by B. Then, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a left invariant linear connection D with a Weyl structure ($D,\;g,\;{\omega}$) on (G, g) to be projectively flat (resp. Einstein-Weyl). And, we also get that if a left invariant linear connection D with a Weyl structure ($D,\;g,\;{\omega}$) on (G, g) which has symmetric Ricci tensor $Ric^D$ is projectively flat, then the connection D is Einstein-Weyl; but the converse is not true. Moreover, we show that if a left invariant connection D with Weyl structure ($D,\;g,\;{\omega}$) on (G, g) is projectively flat (resp. Einstein-Weyl), then D is a Yang-Mills connection.

In this paper, we present a new construction for self-dual codes that uses the concept of double bordered construction, group rings, and reverse circulant matrices. Using groups of orders 2, 3, 4, and 5, and by applying the construction over the binary field and the ring F₂ + uF₂, we obtain extremal binary self-dual codes of various lengths: 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, and 48. In particular, we show the significance of this new construction by constructing the unique Extended Binary Golay Code [24, 12, 8] and the unique Extended Quadratic Residue [48, 24, 12] Type II linear block code. Moreover, we strengthen the existing relationship between units and non-units with the self-dual codes presented in [10] by limiting the conditions given in the corollary. Additionally, we establish a relationship between idempotent and self-dual codes, which is done for the first time in the literature.
