Adaptive chosen all inputs model for analyzing key derivation functions against bit-flip and timing side-channel attacks by Koh, Wen Wen

“…The randomness timing solution protects the security of KDFs but decreases the performance of KDFs. This research brings benefits to the security researchers in which ACAM security model can be used as the benchmark to determine whether the design of KDFs consists of security weakness in terms of bit-flipping attack and timing side-channel attack. …”

The Anglo-Egyptian Sudan: from collaboration mechanism to party politics, 1898-1956 by Abu Shouk, Ahmed Ibrahim

“…It discusses how the Khartoum policy-makers maintained a wide scope of choices in shifting their support from one client to another along the lines of their political agendas. It investigates the gradual shift from collaboration mechanism to party politics, highlighting the response of the Khartoum policy-makers and the Sudanese nationalists who were largely influenced by the divergent attitudes of London and Cairo towards the future of the Sudan, and that of Sayyid Ali al-Mirghani and Sayyid Abd al-Rahman al-Mahdi who had a widespread influence on Sudanese society. …”

Mathematical and computational modelling for the design of pipe bends and compliant systems by Bishop, Steven Richard

“…In particular predictions are sought of any incipient jumps to resonance of the systems which might lead to potentially dangerous loads in the mooring lines or excessive displacements. Throughout the dynamics work stable steady state paths are closely followed and monitored so that any resulting bifurcation, including the possibility of chaotic behaviour, can be analysed with a view to its subsequent prediction.…”
