This is the boilerplate I used for my third co-op report at the University of Victoria.

Computer algorithms that are written with the intent to keep data private are used in every day cryptography. These algorithms may exhibit execution time behaviour which is dependant on secret information that is not known to an outsider. When carefully analysed, this dependency may leak information that can be used to gain unintended access to private data, effectively nullifying the use of such algorithms. This threat poses a vital risk to the field of computer cryptography, and analysis should be done in attempt to eradicate this potential threat from any algorithms in modern day use. In this paper, attacks are orchestrated against several algorithms that have previously been used in cryptography, resulting in the successful retrieval of secret data within a manageable time-scale.

This work is going to analyze the Forced Van Der Pol's Equation which is used to analyze the electric circuit. In 1927, Balthasar Van Der Pol observed the stable oscillation and heard some irregular noise in vacuum tube circuit. He then proposed the Forced Van Der Pol's Equation to analyze the circuit and suggested the concept of limit cycle and Chaos to explain his observation. In this work, We would like to analyze behavior of the model by observing the phase space, time series, bifurcation diagram and power spectrum. Those points in the figures are calculated by Runge-Kutta Method with the aid of MATLAB. For a better understanding, the RLC circuit, which is a electric circuit consisting the a resistor, an inductor and a capacitor, will be used as an example for explaining the properties. Apart from electric circuit, the Forced Van Der Pol's Equation can be applied to dynamic systems in different aspect, such as the artificial heart, economic market and so on. Therefore, we suggest this work to all students since the Forced Van Der Pol's Equation can be applied to many majors, like Mathematics, Physics, Economics, Sociology, Biology, Engineering and so on.

The purpose of this lab was to illustrate the validity of the law of conservation of energy along with the determination of the spring constant of a given spring. For the first part the spring constantk was to be found from a given spring. Through the suspension of various known metal masses on a vertically suspended spring, the spring constant was determined. Two methods were used: the algebraic rearrangement of Hooke's Law and a slope analysis of a linear regression on a Force (N) against Stretch Length (m) scatter plot. The spring constant k was determined to be 26.438 ± 1.063. For the second part of the lab, the aim was to validate the law of conservation of energy through the oscillation of a vertically suspended spring. Data was collected using a Vernier Motion Detector 2 machine and the various energies (kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy and spring potential energy) were collected and summed up. The sum of these energies yielded a fairly constant energy total (2.287 J ± 0.025 J) which supports the authenticity of the law of conservation of energy. While there were some uncertainties due to the lab setup, human error and equipment error it did not affect the validity of the methods during experimentation. Overall, the spring constant k of a given spring was determined and the law of conservation of energy was validated through the calculation of total energy during a suspended mass' oscillation.

Se realizaron las correspondientes mediciones según lo que se pedía en la práctica, esto para comprobar la resistencia en un circuito paralelo de manera calculada y otra midiéndola en un circuito real. Se midió el valor de diversas resistencias observando el código de color y después de esto se midieron 10 resistencias iguales con un óhmetro para comprobar sus valores y de todos los procedimientos se saco el error absoluto, relativo y su porcentaje.
