This motivate us to design a new key exchange protocol and eneryption scheme in this paper. Firstly, some acknowledged mathematical problems was introduced, such as ergodic matrix problem and tensor decomposition problem, the two problems have been proved to NPC hard. From the computational complexity prospective, NPC problems have been considered that there is no polynomial-time quantum algorithm to solve them. From the algebraic structures prospective, non-commutative cryptography has been considered to resist quantum. The matrix and tensor operator we adopted also satisfied with this non-commutative algebraic structures, so they can be used as candidate problems for resisting quantum from perspective of computational complexity theory and algebraic structures. Secondly, a new problem was constructed based on the introduced problems in this paper, then a key exchange protocol and a public key encryption scheme were proposed based on it. Finally the security analysis, efficiency, recommended parameters, performance evaluation and etc. were also been given. The two schemes has the following characteristics, provable security,security bits can be scalable, to achieve high efficiency, quantum resistance, and etc.展开更多

In this protocol, during the process of trans- mission of particles, the transmitted particles do not carry any secret messages and are transmitted only one time. The protocol has higher source capacity than protocols using symmetric two-dimensional states. The security is ensured by the unitary operations randomly performed on all checking groups before the particle sequence is transmitted and the application of entanglement swapping.展开更多

Soil quality has deteriorated considerably in recent years owing to the blind pursuit of economic benefits. A 2-year field experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of using spent mushroom compost, leguminous plant (Vicia sepium L.) compost, and a combination of the two (at a 1:1 and 2:1 ratio), on rice yield and soil quality in a suburb of China. Vicia sepium L. composted with spent mushroom compost at a 1:1 ratio produced the highest grain and stover yield, grain and stover phosphorus concentration, and phosphorus uptake of rice; they were 56.5%, 93.2%, 89.3%, 198.6% and 22.2% greater than control soil, respectively. The 2:1 ratio (Vicia sepium L.: spent mushroom compost) produced the highest grain N concentration, stover N concentration, and N uptake; they were 31.6%, 31.4%, and 40.7% higher than control, respectively. Soil physical, chemical, and environmental properties were improved with the application of Vicia sepium L. composted with spent mushroom compost at a 2:1 ratio. In particular, soil water-stable aggregates, organic carbon, particulate organic carbon, total nitrogen, available potassium, and cation exchange capacity increased, whereas bulk density, pH, and phytoavailable heavy metals decreased. This organic treatment is beneficial to improve soil quality indicators, and contribute to soil restoration.展开更多

Webb.. Disturbed surface soil samples at depth 0-30 cm were collected at four different distances (1, 5, 10 and 15 m) from the tree with randomized selection three trees in each study location. Soil organic matter decreases with increasing distances from tree in both locations under two different trees species, which is attributed to the effect of tree crown. Ordinarily, organic matter content in both locations correspond to the requirements of Mollisols. Statistical analysis of data showed significant differences in organic matter content between locations. Cation exchange capacity is high under tree crown and decreasing with distances from tree in both locations, as a result of decreasing organic matter and increasing calcium carbonate with distances. Commonly soil pH is slightly increased with increasing distances from tree because of increasing calcium carbonate with distances and decreasing organic matter content. Calcium was not uniform with distances and Mg decreasing with distances in both locations. The values of fine clay/coarse clay and fine clay/total clay of soil samples confirm development of the soils under study. Porosity percentage under tree crown is high and decreasing with distances. Soil bulk density was increased with distances in both locations, as a result of decreasing organic matter content with distances. This study aims to explain the effect of tree distances and species on the mollic horizon properties.展开更多

Hedley's extraction was used to separate soil phosphorus (P) into inorganic Pi (geochemical) and organic Po (biological) fractions. Direct extractable P by Olsen (Olsen-P), by Mehlich llI (M3-P) and by ammonium oxalate (Pox) was also determined. Phosphorus sorption was carried out with 1:10 soil/solution ratio and sorption parameters were derived from the Langmuir model to the experimental data. Most of the total P occurred in inorganic P forms (74% of Pt), while organic P comprised only 26% of the Pt. Among the various inorganic P forms relatively large amount of residual P (111 mg kg^-1) was observed, while occluded P in calcium phosphate minerals (d.HCI-Pi) and in Fe, Al-oxides (c.HCI-Pi) existed in equal amounts (83.1 and 83.7 mg kg^-1 respectively). The phosphorus sorption parameters showed positive relationships with clay content, cation exchange capacity and the sum of exchangeable calcium plus magnesium. Overall, this study indicated that Ca and Mg compounds strongly influence the P chemistry in moderately weathered soils, with relatively high concentration of primary P minerals.展开更多
