Medmassa nyctalops Simon 1910
No full textMedmassa nyctalops Simon, 1910 Medmassa nyctalops Simon, 1910: 377. (Ƥ holotype: EQUATORIAL GUINEA: Bioko [Fernando Poo], Musola, leg. L. Fea, MNHN – not examined). Remarks. This species was described by Simon (1910) from a single female collected at Musola, Bioko (Fernando Poo). The type material could not be traced in MNHN and is presumed lost. The original description is inadequate for its accurate identification. Despite considerable Corinnidae material having recently been collected on Bioko by staff of the CAS, which was examined by the second author, no fresh Medmassa specimens could be recognised, and thus the status of this species remains unresolved.Published as part of Haddad, Charles R. & Bosselaers, Jan, 2010, A revision of the genus Medmassa Simon, 1887 (Araneae: Corinnidae) in the Afrotropical Region, pp. 1-12 in Zootaxa 2361 on page 11, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19362

Acceleration of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by Wind Stress along the Coast of Antarctica
No full textThe influence of wind forcing on variability of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is investigated using a series of eddy-permitting ocean–sea ice models. At interannual and decadal time scales the ACC transport is sensitive to both the mean strength of westerly winds along the ACC circumpolar path, consistent with zonal momentum balance theories, and sensitive to the wind stresses along the coast of Antarctica, consistent with the “free mode” theory of Hughes et al. A linear combination of the two factors explains differences in ACC transport across 11 regional quasi-equilibrium experiments. Repeated single-year global experiments show that the ACC can be robustly accelerated by both processes. Across an ensemble of simulations with realistic forcing over the second half of the twentieth century, interannual ACC transport variability owing to the free-mode mechanism exceeds that due to the zonal momentum balance mechanism by a factor of between 3.5 and 5 to one. While the ACC transport may not accelerate significantly owing to projected increases in along-ACC winds in future decades, significant changes in transport could still occur because of changes in the stress along the coast of Antarctica
Forecasting banknotes
No full textA central bank’s liquidity forecast is important in ensuring that it supplies the banking system’s need for central bank money. Banknote (or currency in circulation) demand is the largest and for some central banks the most variable component of the liquidity forecast. Accurate forecasting of banknotes is essential in ensuring an accurate liquidity forecast and in turn effective monetary policy implementation. This Handbook discusses these issues and outlines a structural time series state space (STSSS) model which is now used by central banks including the Bank of England and ECB to forecast banknotes (currency in circulation).Forecasting banknotes
Łojasiewicz–Simon gradient inequalities for coupled Yang–Mills energy functions
No full textWe prove Lojasiewicz–Simon gradient inequalities for coupled Yang–Mills energy functions using Sobolev spaces which impose minimal regularity requirements on pairs of connections and sections. The Lojasiewicz–Simon gradient inequalities for coupled Yang–Mills energy functions generalize that of the pure Yang–Mills energy function due to the first author (Feehan, 2014) for base manifolds of arbitrary dimension and due to R˚ade (1992, Proposition 7.2) for dimensions two and three
Where AES is for Internet, SIMON could be for IoT
No full textAbstractWith the upcoming era of Internet of Things and the Pervasive Computing, there is a need to develop block ciphers with tight constraints such as area, power, memory, performance, throughput and others. These are so called the lightweight block ciphers which are specifically intended for resource constrained platforms. Lined up in the line is SIMON, a light weight block cipher proposed by NSA after the prompting from the U.S. Government in the year 2013 along with SPECK lightweight block cipher. SIMON implementation on hardware has excellent results in terms of area and has been found to be a very strong alternative to the existing AES. This paper involves the basic design considerations, round functions, key schedule and parameters of SIMON and also we can look forward into the implementations of SIMON in hardware comparing with the existing AES standard. This paper also focuses on the analysis in terms of area, power and delay of the SIMON 64/128 configuration in Cadence Synthesis RTL Compiler using the CMOS 180 nm and 90 nm technology libraries
