Many models have been designed for generating pseudo random numbers and there is the potentiality to design more. Among the mentioned generators, a few of them are applied in cryptography. Thus, there is an inevitable need among researchers and users for evaluating the generators. A variety of criteria are used for evaluation which have more or less or neutral importance depending on the way the generators are applied. Accordingly, some reliable sources pay attention to the particular criterion while overlooking others. In the present study, in addition to enumerating all of the popular criteria, there has been an attempt to classify them in the form of a general model. At the end, some suggestions are presented for the foremost priority in using and applying the criteria. With implementing this pattern all the criterions have been considered and on the other hand the probability of second type error will be reduced. Also, observance of the sequence of criterions would cause saving in time and costs.

The purpose of the study was to determine the relation between developmental gross motor activities and hand writing skills in elementary school aged children. One hundred normal Egyptian children of both sexes were selected out of 600 from three private national elementary language schools, their ages ranged from 48-72 months old. Fifty four children were in grade senior kinder (group A) and 46 children were in grade one (group B). Each child in both groups was evaluated individually by using Peabody Developmental Motor Scale (PDMS-2) to determine the level of gross motor activities and the McMaster Handwriting Assessment Protocol (MHAP) to detect level of hand writing skills including speed of near point copying, speed of dictation, hand dominance and type of pencil grasp. The results of the study revealed significant positive correlation between gross motor quotient and speed of near point copying in both groups: Group A (n = 54, r = 0.664, p = 0.000), group B (n = 46, r = 0.769, p = 0.000) and significant positive correlation between gross motor quotient and speed of dictation in both groups: Group A (n = 54, r = 0.621, p = 0.000), group B (n = 46, r = 0.667, p = 0.000). Results also revealed non-significant positive correlation between gross motor quotient and hand dominance in both groups:group A (n = 54, r = 0.440, p = 0.842), group B (n = 46, r = 0.505, p = 0.617) and non-significant positive correlation between gross motor quotient and type of grasp in both groups: Group A (n = 54, r = 0.782, p = 0.09), group B (n = 46, r = 0.759, p = 0.171). It can be concluded that in the selected age range, gross motor skills were strongly correlated to speed of hand writing either in near point copying or dictation and not correlated to hand dominance or type of pencil grasp.
摘要本研究旨在探讨小学学龄儿童发展大肌肉运动活动与书写能力的关系。从三所私立国家小学语言学校的600名正常的埃及男女儿童中选出100名，他们的年龄从48-72个月不等。A组为高二年级54名儿童，B组为一年级46名儿童。两组儿童分别采用皮博迪运动发育量表(PDMS-2)测定大运动活动水平，采用麦克马斯特笔迹评估方案(MHAP)测定书写技能水平，包括近点抄写速度、听写速度、手优势和握笔类型。研究结果显示粗大运动积分商显著正相关性和速度的近点复制在两组:A组(n = 54, r = 0.664, p = 0.000), B组(n = 46, r = 0.769, p = 0.000)和粗大运动积分商显著正相关性,听写的速度在两个组:A组(n = 54, r = 0.621, p = 0.000), B组(n = 46, r = 0.667, p = 0.000)。A组(n = 54, r = 0.440, p = 0.842)、B组(n = 46, r = 0.505, p = 0.617)和B组(n = 54, r = 0.782, p = 0.09)、B组(n = 46, r = 0.759, p = 0.171)大运动商与手优势度呈正相关。可以得出结论，在选定的年龄范围内，大肌肉运动技能与近点抄写或听写的手写速度密切相关，而与手的优势或握笔的类型无关。

In this era of electronic communication, where computers and other manual devices are sending and receiving messages via wireless networks, security and privacy has always been a fundamental concern. Wireless network is an open medium with air as a transmission media involving radio frequencies which have been easily decode-able since World War II. But, behind every wireless network there is a core network which is normally wired. World has become a global village due to this effective approach of wireless communication. It is an alarming issue now days to secure our core network providing wireless services for home, universities, government and military. Many security protocols have been implemented to secure core networks but there are a great number of security risks associated with the current protocols and encryption methods. Secure information transactions takes place within the limited realms of key encryption and exchange techniques. For secure information transaction, a secret key must be known to both the sender and the receiver hiding it from outside world. This study highlighted the implementation of secure communication of key and successfully addressed the security threats in core network designed for King Faisal University (KFU) accomplished by quantum cryptography. The study also suggested to investigate alternate Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) architectures exploring application of emerging QKD in wireless sensor network and its modeling in a real network.

All previous published study in pattern matching based on normalized cross correlation worked in 2-D image. In this study, we propose a pattern matching algorithm using 1-D information vector. The proposed algorithm consists of three main steps: First, the pattern image is scanned in two directions to convert the pattern image from 2-D image into 1-D information vector. Secondly, all blocks (having same size of pattern) in the reference image also are scanned in two directions to obtain 1-D information vector for each block in the reference image. Thirdly, the normalized cross correlation between 1-D information vector of pattern image and all 1-D information vectors in the reference images are established. Finally, we can determine the correct position of pattern in the reference image. Experimentally, we compared the proposed algorithm with three 2-D pattern matching algorithms. The results shown that, the proposed algorithm is more efficient and outperforms the others. Also, we examined the proposed under three different types of noise and we found that it is very robust against noise.

The purpose of this study was to detect the correlation between age and gender with flat foot deformity in obese children. One hundred fifty children ranged in age from 8-14 years participated in this study. They were selected according to body mass index to be obese children, then they were divided according to gender into two groups, group I and group II (75 boys and 75 girls), then each group divided according to age into equal three sub groups (from 8-10 years, from 10-12 years and from 12-14 years) each sub group included 25 children. Evaluation for each child was done using the Foot Posture Index-6 and foot print. The Foot Posture Index-6 was used to asses foot posture, while foot print was used to measure Stahili planter arch index. The results of the study showed that there were significant statistical differences in Foot Posture Index-6 score and arch index between group I (boys) and group II (girls), while there were no significant statistical differences in Foot Posture Index-6 score and arch index in the subgroups according to age. It was concluded that there was significant positive correlation between gender and incidence of flat foot, while there was no significant correlation between age and incidence of flat foot.

The main purpose of this work was to study the alteration of muscle function and mobility after Russian current stimulation in children with knee hemarthrosis, after 8 weeks rehabilitation period. Forty volunteer hemophilic male children participated in this study. They were randomly allocated into two equal groups: control group (A): Received a designed physical therapy program (strengthening, stretching and gait training) and study group (B): Received 20 min of Russian stimulation, in addition to the program given to the control group, day after day for 8 weeks. Concentric peak torque and power of quadriceps and hamstrings at angular velocity 60° secG1 and 120° secG1 and functional walking were measured for each patient of the two groups before and after eight successive weeks of intervention. Mixed design MANOVA showed significant increases in isokinetic variables after the two months period compared with “before” in both groups. Moreover, mixed ANOVA was conducted to compare mean values of 6 MWT showed no significant difference between both groups. These results show the benefits of Russian current in improving muscle strength and mobility in knee hemarthrosis.
