Fano Effect and Anti-Resonance Band in a Parallel-Coupled Double Quantum Dot System with Two Multi-Quantum Dot Chains

A parallel-coupled double quantum dot （PCDQD） system with two multi-quantum dot chains is designed. Conductance versus Fermi energy level is investigated utilizing the non-equilibrium Green＇s function approach. If two quantum dots are added on each side of the PCDQD system, additional Breit Wigner and Fano resonances occur in the conductance spectra. If quantum dots are added on one side of the system, small Fano resonances can be observed in the conductance spectra. Adjusting the number of side-coupled quantum dots, the anti-resonance bands emerge at different positions, which makes the system applicable as a quantum switching device. Moreover, the I-V characteristic curve presents the step characteristic and the width of the step decreases with increasing the number of side-coupled quantum dots.

Fast and secure elliptic curve scalar multiplication algorithm based on special addition chains

To resist the side chaimel attacks of elliptic curve cryptography, a new fast and secure point multiplication algorithm is proposed. The algorithm is based on a particular kind of addition chains involving only additions, providing a natural protection against side channel attacks. Moreover, the new addition formulae that take into account the specific structure of those chains making point multiplication very efficient are proposed. The point multiplication algorithm only needs 1 719 multiplications for the SAC260 of 160-bit integers. For chains of length from 280 to 260, the proposed method outperforms all the previous methods with a gain of 26% to 31% over double-and add, 16% to22% over NAF, 7% to 13% over4-NAF and 1% to 8% over the present best algorithm--double-base chain.

Development of Simple Functional Markers for Low Glutelin Content Gene 1 (Lgc1) in Rice (Oryza sativa)

Rice with low glutelin content is suitable as functional food for patients affected by kidney failure. Low glutelincontent gene Lgc1 in rice has a 3.5-kb deletion between two highly similar glutelin genes GluB4 and GluB5, which locates on the short arm of chromosome 2. To improve the selection efficiency in low glutelin-content rice breeding, two molecular markers designated as InDel-Lgc1-1 and InDel-Lgc1-2 were developed to detect the low glutelin-content gene Lgc1. A double PCR detection indicated that combined use of the two markers could easily distinguish the genotypes of Lgc1 from different rice varieties. Therefore, as a simple and low-cost technique, the molecular marker could be widely used to identify different varieties with Lgc1 gene and applied in marker-assisted selection of low glutelin-content rice.

The four carboxylate groups of btec4- are all deprotonated and coordinated to four Mn atoms in a monodentate fashion, forming a 1D double chain structure with a cavity. Such chains are interconnected by π-π stacking interactions into 2D layers which are further interlinked into a supramolecular structure by hydrogen bonds.
