Quantified Hypoxia and Anoxia in Lakes and Reservoirs by Gertrud K. Nürnberg

“…Methods of calculating different factors for different oxygen levels and water layers, including those applying separately to the epilimnion and hypolimnion, are presented in detail. Proven and potential applicability include: (1) the quantification of relationships with lake water quality variables and lake classification (trophic state), (2) the evaluation of restoration techniques with respect to their effects on hypolimnetic oxygen depletion, (3) the determination of internal phosphorus loading in stratified and polymictic lakes, (4) the exploration of habitat constraints due to hypoxia (e.g., fish species richness and winterkill), (5) forecasting potential effects of climatic change on oxygen content and internal phosphorus loading, and (6) the establishment and examination of criteria and guidelines with respect to hypoxia by custom-made definitions.…”

Perfect secrecy cryptosystem with nonuniform distribution of keys by Chuanjun TIAN

“…More strictly mathematical concepts of infinite perfect secrecy and random “one-time pad” cryptosystem in theory were presented,and the whole secure communication system was divided into two stages:design of a basic cryptosystem and one of its applications.How to design a basic cryptosystem by using a group of orthogonal Latin squares was first studied and an example to illustrate how to design nonlinear encryption transformations for a basic cryptosystem was given.Then,how to design the sequence of keys by using random method with nonuniform distribution was discussed,and it was strictly proven in theory that the infinite random “one-time pad” cryptosystem based on the designed basic cryptosystem was of perfect secrecy.Since the obtained result generalizes the existing one for random “one-time pad” cryptosystem to be perfect by using a basic cryptosystem with modulo addition,it may be used as a wider ideal simulated prototype to design stream cipher algorithms.Since the number of basic cryptosystems that can be designed is much more than one of the common basic cryptosystems with modulo addition,the obtained result is effective supplement and perfection to mainstream design method for the current stream cryptosystems.…”

The Impact of Noise Models on Capacity Performance of Distribution Broadband over Power Lines Networks by Athanasios G. Lazaropoulos

“…Through the careful study of its results, it is demonstrated that during capacity computations of distribution BPL networks, the flat Additive White Gaussian Noise (FL noise model) can be comfortably assumed as an efficient noise model either in 3–30 MHz or in 3–88 MHz frequency range since its capacity differences with the other well-proven noise models are negligible.…”
