Transmisi Memori dan Wacana Rekonsiliasi dalam Cerpen “Perempuan Sinting Di Dapur” Karya Ugoran Prasad: Kajian Postmemory
No full textThis study aims to explain the structure of memory transmission in the short story "Perempuan Sinting di Dapur" by Ugoran Prasad and the reconciliation discourse offered by the author. Overall, this short story raised the 1965 Event in Indonesia. Ugoran Prasad tried to discuss the impact caused by the incident, both in terms of the perpetrators and victims. The theory used is the postmemory theory developed by Marianne Hirsch. The results of this study indicate that the structure of memory transmission in short stories is mediated by behavior and narratives, both from the perspective of victims and perpetrators. Both of these parties turned out to be equally save the deep trauma that was carried throughout his life. Then, through this short story, Ugoran Prasad presented a discourse of reconciliation to those who had a traumatic impact on the 1965 event, both generations who were traumatized and post-generation. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan struktur transmisi memori dalam cerpen “Perempuan Sinting di Dapur” karya Ugoran Prasad dan wacana rekonsiliasi yang ditawarkan oleh penulis. Secara keseluruhan, cerpen ini mengangkat Peristiwa 1965 di Indonesia. Ugoran Prasad berusaha membahas mengenai dampak yang ditimbulkan dari peristiwa itu, baik dari segi pelaku maupun korban. Adapun teori yang digunakan adalah teori postmemory yang dikembangkan oleh Marianne Hirsch. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa struktur transmisi memori dalam cerpen dimediasi oleh perilaku dan narasi atau cerita, baik dari perspektif korban maupun pelaku. Kedua pihak ini ternyata sama-sama menyimpan trauma mendalam yang dibawa seumur hidupnya. Kemudian, melalui cerpen ini Ugoran Prasad menghadirkan wacana rekonsiliasi kepada pihak-pihak yang berdampak trauma akan Peristiwa 1965, baik generasi yang mengalami trauma maupun post-generatio

A genetic tango attack against the David–Prasad RFID ultra-lightweight authentication protocol
No full textRadio frequency identification (RFID) is a powerful technology that enables wireless information storage and control in an economical way. These properties have generated a wide range of applications in different areas. Due to economic and technological constrains, RFID devices are seriously limited, having small or even tiny computational capabilities. This issue is particularly challenging from the security point of view. Security protocols in RFID environments have to deal with strong computational limitations, and classical protocols cannot be used in this context. There have been several attempts to overcome these limitations in the form of new lightweight security protocols designed to be used in very constrained (sometimes called ultra-lightweight) RFID environments. One of these proposals is the David–Prasad ultra-lightweight authentication protocol. This protocol was successfully attacked using a cryptanalysis technique named Tango attack. The capacity of the attack depends on a set of boolean approximations. In this paper, we present an enhanced version of the Tango attack, named Genetic Tango attack, that uses Genetic Programming to design those approximations, easing the generation of automatic cryptanalysis and improving its power compared to a manually designed attack. Experimental results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of this new attack.Security LabElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

Normative genetic profiles of RAAS pathway gene polymorphisms in North Indian and South Indian populations
No full textPopulation-based genetic association studies, popularly known as case-control studies, have continued to be the most preferred method for deciphering the genetic basis of various complex diseases, even in the post-human genome sequencing era. However, interpopulation differences in allele, genotype, and haplotype frequencies and linkage disequilibrium patterns lead to inconsistent results in candidate gene association studies. Therefore, for any meaningful disease association study, knowledge of the normative genetic background of the baseline population is a prerequisite. In addition, such genetic variation data also provide a ready-made menu of allele frequencies and linkage disequilibrium patterns of various polymorphisms in specific candidate genes in a particular population, which is a useful reference for further genetic association studies. Such genetic variation data are lacking for the Indian population, which represents about one-sixth of the world's population. In the present study we have reported the allele, genotype, and haplotype frequencies, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium status, and linkage disequilibrium patterns of 12 polymorphisms in six candidate genes from the reninangiotensin-aldosterone system among Indians. Because of their different history of origin, the Indian population is broadly divided into two subpopulations: North Indians (Caucasian Europeans) and South Indians (Dravidians). Considering this well-documented difference in gene pools, we have presented a comparative account of the normative genetic data of North Indian and South Indian populations with at least four individuals of urban and suburban origin from each of the representative states of northern and southern India
RF Information Harvesting for Medium Access in Event-driven Batteryless Sensing
No full textWe present radio-frequency (RF) information harvesting, a chan-nel sensing technique that takes advantage of the energy in the wireless medium to detect channel activity at essentially no en-ergy cost. RF information harvesting is essential for event-driven wireless sensing applications using battery-less devices that har-vest tiny amounts of energy from impromptu events, such as op-erating a switch, and then transmit the event notification to a one-hop gateway. As multiple such devices may concurrently de-tect events, coordinating access to the channel is key. RF infor-mation harvesting allows devices to break the symmetry between concurrently-transmitting devices based on the harvested energy from the ongoing transmissions. To demonstrate the benefits of RF information harvesting, we integrate it in a tailor-made ultra low-power hardware MAC protocol we call Radio Frequency-Distance Packet Queuing (RF-DiPaQ). We build a hardware/software proto-type of RF-DiPaQ and use an established Markov framework to study its performance at scale. Comparing RF-DiPaQ against sta-ple contention-based MAC protocols, we show that it outperforms pure Aloha and 1-CSMA by factors of 3.55 and 1.21 respectively in throughput, while it saturates at more than double the offered load compared to 1-CSMA. As traffic increases, the energy saving of RF-DiPaQ against CSMA protocols increases, consuming 36% less energy than np-CSMA at typical offered loads.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Embedded System
Nonlinear hyperbolic waves in multidimensions
No full textThe propagation of curved, nonlinear wavefronts and shock fronts are very complex phenomena. Since the 1993 publication of his work Propagation of a Curved Shock and Nonlinear Ray Theory, author Phoolan Prasad and his research group have made significant advances in the underlying theory of these phenomena. This volume presents their results and provides a self-contained account and gradual development of mathematical methods for studying successive positions of these fronts.Nonlinear Hyperbolic Waves in Multidimensions includes all introductory material on nonlinear hyperbolic waves and the theory of shock waves. The author derives the ray theory for a nonlinear wavefront, discusses kink phenomena, and develops a new theory for plane and curved shock propagation. He also derives a full set of conservation laws for a front propagating in two space dimensions, and uses these laws to obtain successive positions of a front with kinks. The treatment includes examples of the theory applied to converging wavefronts in gas dynamics, a graphical presentation of the results of extensive numerical computations, and an extension of Fermat''s principle. There is also a chapter containing approximate equations used to discuss stability of steady transonic flows.Full of new and original results, Nonlinear Hyperbolic Waves in Multidimensions is your only opportunity to explore a full treatment of these recent findings in book form. The material presented in this volume will prove useful not only for solving practical problems, but also in raising many difficult but important mathematical questions that remain open
