At present most specialists and scholars focus on the design and the attacks on these hash functions. However, it is very significant to study some properties of their primitives and underlying permutations. Because some properties reflect the pseudo-randomness of the structures. Moreover, they help us to find new cryptanalysis for some block cipher structures. In this paper, we analyze the resistance of JH and Grcstl-512 against structural properties built on integral distinguishers. And then 31.5 (out of 42) rounds integral distinguishers for JH compression function and 11.5 (out of 14) rounds for Grcstl-512 compression function are presented.展开更多

These understandings are of great theoretical significance for identifying the origins and types of dolomite, and can guide the prediction of dolomite reservoirs.展开更多

The results showed that there were 28.9 fog days and 89.7 haze days per year in Fuzhou. Both fog and haze days were variable, and there might be a day difference of twice to thrice among the years. They were the most in 2007, and then decreased in recent years. Both fog and haze days were more in winter and spring, accounted for 94.1% and 70.1% respectively, while in summer and autumn, they only accounted for 5.9% and 29.9% respectively. In a day, fog mainly occurred from night to early morning, while haze occurred mainly at about noon, which demonstrated that fog and haze are different synoptic phenomena. The mass concentration of PM2.5 in fog days was 34 μg/m^3, while it was 61 μg/m^3 in haze days, and in 22% of haze days it was larger than 75 μg/m3, which was above the national second-grade ambient air quality standard.展开更多

In ...Q-methodology was introduced more than 80 years ago to study subjective topics such as attitudes, perceptions, preferences, and feelings and there has not been much change in its statistical components since then. In Q-methodology, subjective topics are studied using a combination of qualitative and quantitative techniques. It involves development of a sample of statements and rank-ordering these statements by study participants using a grid known as Q-sort table. After completion of Q-sort tables by the participants, a by-person factor analysis (i.e., the factor analysis is performed on persons, not variables or traits) is used to analyze the data. Therefore, each factor represents a group of individuals with similar views, feelings, or preferences about the topic of the study. Then, each group (factor) is usually described by a set of statements, called distinguishing statements, or statements with high or low factor scores. In this article, we review one important statistical issue, i.e. the criteria for identifying distinguishing statements and provide a review of its mathematical calculation and statistical background. We show that the current approach for identifying distinguishing statements has no sound basis, which may result in erroneous findings and seems to be appropriate only when there are repeated evaluations of Q-sample from the same subjects. However, most Q-studies include independent subjects with no repeated evaluation. Finally, a new approach is suggested for identifying distinguishing statements based on Cohen’s effect size. We demonstrate the application of this new formula by applying the current and the suggested methods on a Q-dataset and explain the differences.展开更多

An IE-total coloring f of G refers to a coloring of the vertices and edges of G so that no two adjacent vertices receive the same color. Let C(u) be the set of colors of vertex u and edges incident to u under f. For an IE-total coloring f of G using k colors, if C(u)=C(v) for any two different vertices u and v of V (G), then f is called a k-vertex-distinguishing IE-total-coloring of G, or a k-VDIET coloring of G for short. The minimum number of colors required for a VDIET coloring of G is denoted by χievt(G), and is called the VDIET chromatic number of G. We get the VDIET chromatic numbers of cycles and wheels, and propose related conjectures in this paper.展开更多

Similarly, cryosphere change has numerous impacts on the natural ecosystem and human society, which may resemble an indirect influence of climate change. These two types of impacts, in shared fields, are distinguished in space and time by effective mechanisms and processes. Climate change has positive and negative impacts on some systems, which may be adjusted by cryosphere change. These indirect and direct impacts may be distinguished, and then correct policies and measures can be made against these changes.展开更多

A mapping f from V∪E to {1, 2, ··· , k} is called an adjacent vertex-distinguishing E-total coloring of G(abbreviated to k-AVDETC), if for uv ∈ E(G), we have f(u) ≠ f(v), f(u) ≠ f(uv), f(v) ≠ f(uv), C(u) ≠C(v), where C(u) = {f(u)}∪{f(uv)|uv ∈ E(G)}. The least number of k colors required for which G admits a k-coloring is called the adjacent vertex-distinguishing E-total chromatic number of G is denoted by x^e_(at) (G). In this paper, the adjacent vertexdistinguishing E-total colorings of some join graphs C_m∨G_n are obtained, where G_n is one of a star S_n , a fan F_n , a wheel W_n and a complete graph K_n .
