An Approach for Security Enhancement of Certain Encryption Schemes Employing Error Correction Coding and Simulated Synchronization Errors.

An approach for the cryptographic security enhancement of encryption is proposed and analyzed. The enhancement is based on the employment of a coding scheme and degradation of the ciphertext. From the perspective of the legitimate parties that share a secret key, the degradation appears as a transmission of the ciphertext through a binary erasure channel.

Identification of compound heterozygous mutations in GNPTG in three siblings of a Chinese family with mucolipidosis type III gamma.

Mucolipidosis III gamma is an autosomal recessive disorder with defective phosphorylation and trafficking of lysosomal enzymes. In a Chinese family with three siblings, linkage analysis revealed positive linkage of the family to GNPTG. Direct DNA sequence analysis identified two novel compound heterozygous mutations, c.
