Cryptanalysis of Reduced Round ChaCha – New Attack & Deeper Analysis by Sabyasachi Dey, Hirendra Kumar Garai, Subhamoy Maitra

“…In this regard, we propose a toy version of ChaCha, with a 32-bit secret key, on which the attacks can be implemented completely to verify whether the theoretical estimates are justified. …”

Potential artifacts in conservation laws and invariants inferred from sequential state estimation by C. Wunsch, S. Williamson, P. Heimbach, P. Heimbach, P. Heimbach

“…Furthermore, for the purposes of calculating changes in important functions of state variables such as total mass and energy or volumetric current transports, results of both filter and smoother-based estimates are sensitive to misrepresentation of a large variety of parameters, including initial conditions, prior uncertainty covariances, and systematic and random errors in observations. Here, toy models of a coupled mass–spring oscillator system and of a barotropic Rossby wave system are used to demonstrate many of the issues that arise from such misrepresentations. …”

A competitive advantage through fast dead matter elimination in confined cellular aggregates by Yoav G Pollack, Philip Bittihn, Ramin Golestanian

“…We elucidate this effect in a theoretical toy model and test it in an agent-based computational model that includes finite-time mechanical persistence of dead cells and thereby decouples the density of growing cells from the homeostatic pressure. …”

On the stability and deformability of top stars by Massimo Bianchi, Giorgio Di Russo, Alfredo Grillo, Jose Francisco Morales, Giuseppe Sudano

“…For the sake of illustration in a simpler context, we also consider a toy model with a piece-wise constant potential and a centrifugal barrier that captures most of the above features in a qualitative fashion.…”

DINA: Deformable INteraction Analogy by Zeyu Huang, Sisi Dai, Kai Xu, Hao Zhang, Hui Huang, Ruizhen Hu

“…Given a single demo interaction between an anchor object (e.g. a hand) and a source object (e.g. a mug grasped by the hand), our goal is to generate many analogous 3D interactions between the same anchor object and various new target objects (e.g. a toy airplane), where the anchor object is allowed to be rigid or deformable. …”

Synthetic fuzzballs: a linear ramp from black hole normal modes by Suman Das, Chethan Krishnan, A. Preetham Kumar, Arnab Kundu

“…Abstract We consider a black hole with a stretched horizon as a toy model for a fuzzball microstate. The stretched horizon provides a cut-off, and therefore one can determine the normal (as opposed to quasi-normal) modes of a probe scalar in this geometry. …”

An Evaluation of Ethograms Measuring Distinct Features of Enrichment Use by Captive Chimpanzees (<i>Pan troglodytes</i>) by Julia L. Greeson, Kara I. Gabriel, J. B. Mulcahy, Bonnie King Hendrickson, Susan D. Lonborg, Jay C. Holloway

“…A principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that different categories of enrichment objects were more often associated with specific manipulation behaviors and social contexts, suggesting that enrichment objects might fulfill different behavioral and social needs in captivity. Specifically, toy objects were associated with active tactile behaviors in affiliative contexts while oral behaviors were used with foraging objects in solitary contexts. …”

Correlations between Ca ii H and K Emission and the Gaia M Dwarf Gap by Emily M. Boudreaux, Aylin Garcia Soto, Brian C. Chaboyer

“…We observe an increase in star-to-star variation of magnetic activity near the Jao Gap. We present a toy model of a star’s magnetic field evolution, which demonstrates that this increase may be due to stochastic disruptions to the magnetic field originating from the periodic-mixing events characteristic of the convective kissing instabilities that drive the formation of the Jao Gap.…”
