Abstract In present paper fly ash in wet state with low quality was used as raw material to replace clay to make fired bricks. The effect of fly ash with [...]

To analyze and reduce the impact of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Devices (MDs) on the traditional Human-to-Human (H2H) users for the blending scenario, where both M2M and H2H services coexist in the current Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) and perform the Random Access (RA) procedure simultaneously, a comprehensive RA analysis model of RA is proposed in this paper. Further, a power ramping strategy based on the logarithm for M2M is proposed. The efficiency of both the existing and proposed scheme is assessed through a simulation across several metrics, including average target power, throughput, blocking probability, and delay statistics. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm can ensure a minimal impact on H2H communication while maintaining the throughput of the M2M communication. Meanwhile, because of its low energy consumption, this algorithm has a significant guide value for real-world applications.

Universal blind quantum computation (UBQC) is a new secure quantum computing protocol which allows a user Alice who does not have any sophisticated quantum technology to delegate her computing to a server Bob without leaking any privacy. Using the features of UBQC, we propose a protocol to achieve symmetrically private information retrieval, which allows a quantum limited Alice to query an item from Bob with a fully fledged quantum computer; meanwhile, the privacy of both parties is preserved. The security of our protocol is based on the assumption that malicious Alice has no quantum computer, which avoids the impossibility proof of Lo. For the honest Alice, she is almost classical and only requires minimal quantum resources to carry out the proposed protocol. Therefore, she does not need any expensive laboratory which can maintain the coherence of complicated quantum experimental setups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
