Cryptography in the Wild: An Empirical Analysis of Vulnerabilities in Cryptographic Libraries by Blessing, Jenny, Specter, Michael A., Weitzner, Daniel J.

“…Cryptographic design and implementation issues make up 27.5% of vulnerabilities across all libraries, with side-channel attacks providing a further 19.4%. We find substantial variation among core library components in both complexity levels and vulnerabilities produced: for instance, over one-third of vulnerabilities are located in implementations of the SSL/TLS protocols, providing actionable evidence for codebase quality and security improvements in these libraries.…”

Materials approaches for next-generation encapsulated cell therapies by Krishnan, Siddharth R., Langer, Robert, Anderson, Daniel G.

“…Transplanted cells can act as living drug factories capable of secreting therapeutic proteins in vivo, with applications in the treatment of Type 1 diabetes (T1D), blood borne disease, vision disorders, and degenerative neural disease, potentially representing functional cures for chronic conditions. However, attack from the host immune system represents a major challenge, requiring chronic immunosuppression to enable long-lived cell transplantation in vivo. …”

Stalking in universities: responding effectively as an institution while prioritising the safety of victims by Short, Emma, Barnes, James

“…Given the pernicious nature of cyberstalking behaviours, such as surveillance, hacking, image-based sexual attacks and threats of harm, we focus on the responsibility of educational institutions to avoid unnecessary risks and harm to individuals, and the necessity of supporting access to skilled support and justice for individuals who have been victimised. …”

Estimating parameter distributions and developing epidemiological methods and tools to support gastrointestinal outbreak investigation by Awofisayo-Okuyelu, A

“…Some factors associated with the distribution of incubation period were age, food vehicle, mode of transmission, attack rate and vaccine history. The mathematical model estimated an incubation period of 9.6 days for <em>Salmonella</em> Typhi, and parameters strongly correlated with incubation period included the net population of bacteria in the colon and bacterial growth during systemic infection.…”

Experimental study on durability properties of kenaf fibre-reinforced geopolymer concrete by Noor Abbas, Al-Ghazali, Abdul Aziz, Farah Nora Aznieta, Abdan, Khalina, Mohd Nasir, Noor Azline, Fahim Huseien, Ghasan

“…Hence, this article aims to understand the performance of kenaf fibre-reinforced geopolymer concrete (KFRGC) in terms of water absorption, porosity, sorptivity, water penetration, and resistance against chloride ions penetration and chemical attacks. The results showed that the addition of KF increased the porosity of the geopolymer, thus increasing the water absorption-related properties. …”

Aerodynamics of a wing body with different Winglet Cant Angle. by Bakhai, Mit Piyush, Mat, Shabudin, Musa, Nur Amalina

“…Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been used to simulate the Cant angles at constant angle of attack of 00. In this paper the Cant angle was varied from 1050 880 750 600 500 450 350 and the simulation works were performed at three different Flight levels of Sea level, 10000 and 15000 meters. …”

Performance of asphalt mixtures modified with nano-eggshell powder by Zghair Chfat, Alattafi Hadi, Haryati, Yaacob, Nurul Hidayah, Mohd Kamaruddin, Al-Saffar, Zaid Hazim, Putra Jaya, Ramadhansyah

“…To achieve this, asphalt mixtures containing 0% (control), 5%, and 9% NESP were developed, and their mechanical properties were investigated through various tests such as moisture damage, Marshall immersion stability, resilient modulus, dynamic creep, double-punch shear, water immersion, and wheel tracking. The results showed that NESP reduced the moisture susceptibility of the mixtures by increasing their tensile strength ratio. …”
