A finer-grain analysis of the leakage (non) resilience of OCB by Berti, Francesco, Bhasin, Shivam, Breier, Jakub, Hou, Xiaolu, Poussier, Romain, Standaert, François-Xavier, Udvarhelyi, Balasz

“…We start from trivial key recoveries in settings where the mode can be attacked with standard Differential Power Analysis (DPA) against some block cipher calls in its execution (namely, initialization, processing of associated data or last incomplete block and decryption). These attacks imply that at least these parts must be strongly protected thanks to countermeasures like masking. …”

Unveiling the facade of blog posts to reveal subjective well-being : an exploratory study. by Ou, Zhiqi., Tan, Justine Yi Ting., Tan, Jessie Zi Xi.

“…Our two main findings demonstrate that eight out of 11 of the regressions involving the objective ranking as the main independent variable show the objective ranking having the correct expected sign at at least the 10% significance level. As for the subjective ranking, 11 out of 13 of the regressions show it having the correct expected sign at at least the 10% significance level. …”

Development of a micro flow control system by Lee, Zi Qi.

“…A syringe pump was then used to precisely control the amount of pressure applied to push the column of ink in an upward direction. Last but not least, the plates will be lowered vertically using a slider mechanism controlled by a syringe when a drop of ink is expelled from the tip of the glass capillary tubes. …”

A proposal for a technology-assisted approach to wildlife management in Singapore by Chen, Melvin, Tan, Alvin De Jun, Quek, Wei Liang, Chahed, Haroun

“…We hope that our approach will promote, through an improved and data-driven understanding of macaque behavioural trends, technology-assisted decision-making and a more harmonious co-existence between humans and macaques on campus and in Singapore. Last but not least, we anticipate further extensions of our approach with respect to other forms of wildlife.…”
