Secure Mobile Applications Based On Ntru, Vikram Hegde, Hanqing Zhao, Kefeng Shi, Yi Yang Oct 2016

Secure Mobile Applications Based On Ntru, Vikram Hegde, Hanqing Zhao, Kefeng Shi, Yi Yang

ASA Multidisciplinary Research Symposium

Modern mobile devices have an urgent need for a new-generation public-key cryptographic system. This system should provide sufficient security for mobile devices without degrading performance due to their limited resources. NTRU is a decent model for this. We validate it through experimental studies and apply NTRU to protect a peer-to-peer communication app.


Cross Court View: Comparison Of Body Image During Competition, Timothy M. Kelly Aug 2016

Cross Court View: Comparison Of Body Image During Competition, Timothy M. Kelly

Research Papers

There are many studies on body image but few focus on the body image of athletes. Further, there are few studies on the effects of appearance on athletic performance. Past studies have focused on internalization or body image dissatisfaction. None have gathered data about competition to see if body image and appearance of competitors effects athletic performance. Using an 18 question adapted Likert survey and two qualitative questions we explored whether appearance of the other competitors has an impact on athletic performance. The study was conducted using 50 division I female athletes from the softball, volleyball, tennis, swimming and diving, …

The Author Is Absent: Toward Emergent Narrative Event Environments, Dimitar O. Velkov 3030359

Research Papers

Creating an emergent narrative or one which is not predetermined by the controlling figure of the game designer, but instead frees the audience to guide and control the story has been a major interest in the field game design studies of virtual world storytelling. “The Author Is Absent” is an art project that interprets an emergent narrative problem through the prism of performance arts, and mainly the happenings of Alan Kaprow. The following paper provides a theoretical groundwork and some historical examples of previous attempts in the same tradition. It then goes on to elucidate the formal aspects of the …

Acute Effects Of Theacrine Supplementation On Muscular Strength And Muscular Endurance, Caleb J. Snyder Jan 2016

Acute Effects Of Theacrine Supplementation On Muscular Strength And Muscular Endurance, Caleb J. Snyder

Research Papers

There are many performance-enhancing supplements on the market. Theacrine (1,3,7,9-tetramethyluric acid) is a new product similar to caffeine. Both are purine alkaloids thought to act as adenosine receptor antagonists. It has been reported to increase subjective energy levels among other beneficial effects, but has not yet been tested on muscular strength and muscular endurance. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study, eleven healthy resistance trained college-aged males received a 200mg dose of theacrine or a placebo. One-repetition max (1RM) and maximal repetition tests were performed after supplementation. A one-way repeated measures analysis of variance was completed between the treatments (placebo, …
