Fast AES-based universal hash functions and MACs: featuring LeMac and Macs by Bariant, Augustin, Baudrin, Jules, Leurent, Gaëtan, Pernot, Clara, Perrin, Léo, Peyrin, Thomas

“…In particular, our framework not only takes into account the number of AES-round calls per message block, but also the very important role of XOR operations and the overall scheduling of the computations. We instantiate our findings with two concrete UHF candidates, both requiring only 2 AES rounds per 128-bit message block, and each used to construct two MACs. …”

Two-Dimensional MXene as a Promising Adsorbent for Trihalomethanes Removal: A Density-Functional Theory Study by Gomaa, Islam, Hosny, Nasser Mohammed, Elhaes, Hanan, Ezzat, Hend A., Elmahgary, Maryam G., Ibrahim, Medhat A.

“…Notably, THs such as trichloromethane (CHCl₃), bromide-chloromethane (CHBrCl₂), and dibromochloromethane (CHBr₂Cl) demonstrate the highest TDM values, indicating substantial changes in electronic and optical parameters, with TDM values of 16.363, 15.998, and 16.017 Debye, respectively. These findings highlight the potential of the MXene-Cl layer as an effective adsorbent and detector for CHF₃, CHClF₂, CHCl₃, CHBrCl₂, and CHBr₂Cl. …”

Regulation of the hif-1-dependent hypoxic stress response by C. elegans by Diehl, Calista Sorine

“…Secondly, we found that loss of the neprilysin metallopeptidase, nep-2, suppressed the egl-9 Egl phenotype through the degradation of multiple neuropeptides including the known NEP-2 target SNET-1. Our findings reveal two different pathways that function downstream of egl-9 to regulate aspects of the hypoxic stress response, both providing a new pathway with which to study the neuromuscular control of egg laying using NEP-2, and critically showing the integration of the evolutionarily conserved hypoxic-stress response and nonsense-mediated decay pathways.…”

Visual Acuity Outcomes and Influencing Factors in a Cohort of UK Real-World Diabetic Macular Oedema Patients During the First Two Years of Anti-VEGF Treatment by Wen, Qing, Karcher, Helene, Wright, David M., Sinha, Samriddhi Buxy, Chakravarthy, Usha, Santos, Catarina, Igwe, Franklin, Salongcay, Recivall, Curran, Katie, Peto, Tunde

“…An elder age, a better baseline VA, low annual injection numbers (<5), and less frequent injection intervals (≥12 weeks) were negatively associated with ISVA success in the first two years. These findings have implications for managing patient expectations, allocating resources, and understanding DMO clinical management.…”
