Abstract: This paper is introduced a modification to Diffie-
Hellman protocol to be applicable on the decimal numbers, which
they are the numbers between zero and one. For this purpose we
extend the theory of the congruence. The new congruence is over
the set of the real numbers and it is called the “real congruence"
or the “real modulus". We will refer to the existing congruence by
the “integer congruence" or the “integer modulus". This extension
will define new terms and redefine the existing terms. As the
properties and the theorems of the integer modulus are extended as
well. Modified Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol is produced a
sharing, secure and decimal secret key for the the cryptosystems that
depend on decimal numbers.
Abstract: Very few studies have examined performance
implications of strategic alliance announcements in the information
technologies industry from a resource-based view. Furthermore, none
of these studies have investigated resource congruence and alliance
motive as potential sources of abnormal firm performance. This paper
extends upon current resource-based literature to discover and explore
linkages between these concepts and the practical performance of
strategic alliances. This study finds that strategic alliance
announcements have provided overall abnormal positive returns, and
that marketing alliances with marketing resource incongruence have
also contributed to significant firm performance.
Abstract: A subcarrier - spectral amplitude coding optical code
division multiple access system using the Khazani-Syed code with
Complementary subtraction detection technique is proposed. The
proposed system has been analyzed by taking into account the effects
of phase-induced intensity noise, shot noise, thermal noise and intermodulation
distortion noise. The performance of the system has been
compared with the spectral amplitude coding optical code division
multiple access system using the Hadamard code and the Modified
Quadratic Congruence code. The analysis shows that the proposed
system can eliminate the multiple access interference using the
Complementary subtraction detection technique, and hence improve
the overall system performance.
Abstract: In the traditional theory of non-uniform torsion the
axial displacement field is expressed as the product of the unit twist
angle and the warping function. The first one, variable along the
beam axis, is obtained by a global congruence condition; the second
one, instead, defined over the cross-section, is determined by solving
a Neumann problem associated to the Laplace equation, as well as for
the uniform torsion problem.
So, as in the classical theory the warping function doesn-t punctually
satisfy the first indefinite equilibrium equation, the principal aim of
this work is to develop a new theory for non-uniform torsion of
beams with axial symmetric cross-section, fully restrained on both
ends and loaded by a constant torque, that permits to punctually
satisfy the previous equation, by means of a trigonometric expansion
of the axial displacement and unit twist angle functions.
Furthermore, as the classical theory is generally applied with good
results to the global and local analysis of ship structures, two beams
having the first one an open profile, the second one a closed section,
have been analyzed, in order to compare the two theories.
Abstract: Stuck-pipe in drilling operations is one of the most
pressing and expensive problems in the oil industry. This paper
describes a computational simulation and an experimental study of
the hydrodynamic vibrator, which may be used for liquidation of
stuck-pipe problems during well drilling. The work principle of the
vibrator is based upon the known phenomena of Vortex Street of
Karman and the resulting generation of vibrations. We will discuss
the computational simulation and experimental investigations of
vibrations in this device. The frequency of the vibration parameters
has been measured as a function of the wide range Reynolds Number.
The validity of the computational simulation and of the assumptions
on which it is based has been proved experimentally. The
computational simulation of the vibrator work and its effectiveness
was carried out using FLUENT software. The research showed high
degree of congruence with the results of the laboratory tests and
allowed to determine the effect of the granular material features upon
the pipe vibration in the well. This study demonstrates the potential
of using the hydrodynamic vibrator in a well drilling system.
