Classical and physical security of symmetric key cryptographic algorithms by Baksi, Anubhab

“…The symmetric key algorithms, known as the ciphers, are to satisfy certain requirements in order to be considered secure, which are broadly classified as Classical Attack and Physical Attack. We show new results in context of both the classical and physical attacks to advance the state-of-the-art. …”

Work extraction from information ratchet in the classical and quantum regimes by He, Lianjie

“…The focus of this thesis is to investigate the stochastic dynamics of two variants of an information ratchet inspired by a model interacting with an infinite tape of classical bits which play the role of an information reservoir. …”

Quantum Inference Protocol : from origination to application by Ho, Matthew Shu Hui

“…However, all quantum models required prior knowledge of classical causal models. Errors that occurred in classical models due to finite-length stochastic processes were automatically inherited by quantum models. …”

Inhibitors of the oxidative phosphorylation pathway and their interaction with antibiotics in Mycobacteroides abscessus by Lim, Ting

“…In exploring the underlying mechanisms, we discovered that some classical antibiotics, in particular the β-lactams, rely on upregulation of bacterial metabolism to cause cell death. …”

Narratives speak : storytelling, witnessing, and literary trauma studies by Ong, Nicole Sihui

“…Recent literary trauma scholarship has conceded that the ‘classic’ trauma model, founded upon a Freudian-Lacanian approach to trauma and language, has plateaued in its usefulness. …”

Quantum stochastic modelling and tensor networks by Yang, Chengran

“…By taking advantage of quantum resources, quantum models have been shown to reduce the memory requirements beyond classical limits. Meanwhile, tensor networks are an extremely useful mathematical tool for understanding quantum many-body systems. …”

Asymmetric public diplomacy : the King Abdullah Scholarship Programme in Saudi Arabia by Bouchaib Silm

“…Its main contribution to the study of this academic field rests on departing from the classic understanding of public diplomacy as a ‘one-way’ flow to offer instead, an understanding and theoretical insights of the particularities of public diplomacy conducted in asymmetric contexts.…”

Dynamics of opinion formation on complex social networks by Nguyen, Xuan Vu

“…It is revealed that under such a rule, once again multi-steady state of coexistence could emerge in sparse networks, yet due to very different reasons from those for the case under the classic majority rule. 3. Classical bounded-confidence models mostly deal with pairwise interactions where the two involving agents have equal influences on each other. …”

Deep reinforcement learning for intractable routing & inverse problems by Zhang, Rongkai

“…Solving intractable problems with huge/infinite solution space is challenging and has motivated much research. Classical methods mainly focus on fast searching via either approximation or (meta)heuristics with the help of some regularizers. …”

Entropy controlled phase transitions by Sampedro Ruiz, Pablo

“…This control implies tweaking the free energies of the different phases of the material, in order to stabilize those we are interested in or destabilize those we are not. Although classically it has been understood that the formation of new solids is driven by enthalpic factors, entropy supposes a new and promising tool in the field. …”
