Practical pseudo-collisions for hash functions ARIRANG-224/384 by Guo, Jian, Matusiewicz, Krystian, Knudsen, Lars R., Ling, San, Wang, Huaxiong

“…We use this approach to find near-collisions with Hamming weight 32 for the full compression function as well as collisions for the compression function of ARIRANG reduced to 26 rounds, both with complexity close to 20 and memory requirements of only a few words.We use near collisions for the compression function to construct pseudo-collisions for the complete hash functions ARIRANG-224 and ARIRANG-384 with complexity 223 and close to 20, respectively.We implemented the attacks and provide examples of appropriate pairs of H,M values. …”

Cytoophidium complexes resonate with cell fates by Li, Y, Liu, J

“…In 2010, we discovered that the metabolic enzyme CTP synthase (CTPS) can assemble a snake like structure inside cells, which we call the cytoophidium. Including CTPS, an increasing number of metabolic enzymes have been found to form cytoophidia in cells. …”

Conformational changes involved in signal transduction in avian cryptochromes by Gehrckens, AS

“…</p> <p>Using a range of complementary techniques, this thesis aims to elucidate protein conformational changes as the first step in signal transduction in several cryptochrome species finding similar changes in the same loop regions across multiple proteins, tackled the question whether a functional dimer might exist in the context of magnetoreception and found two important residues involved in dimerisation, and lastly used the finding that this dimerisation process is light-induced to start investigating the interaction surfaces in these dimeric structures.…”

Exploiting the underdetermined system in multichannel active noise control for open windows by He, Jianjun, Lam, Bhan, Shi, Dongyuan, Gan, Woon Seng

“…Furthermore, the underdetermined system presents an opportunity to control noise from multiple incidences with one common fixed filter. Both the full-rank and the overdetermined optimal control filters are realized. …”

Immunity debt for seasonal influenza after the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result of non-pharmaceutical interventions: an ecological analysis and cohort study by Chen, L, Guo, Y, López-Güell, K, Ma, J, Dong, Y, Xie, J, Prieto Alhambra, D

“…In addition, a positive association between the Stringency Index and post-relaxation influenza surge was observed globally (R² = 0.14-0.17) and replicated regionally. Our findings support the population immunity debt hypothesis for influenza and call for proactive preparations against its consequences in future pandemics.…”

COSE : a query-centric framework of collaborative heterogeneous sensor networks by He, Yuan., Li, Zhen Jiang.

“…In this paper, we propose COSE, a query-centric framework of collaborative heterogeneous sensor networks, where sensor networks collaborate with each other for effective and efficient processing of queries. Finding an optimal strategy of query processing with respect to energy efficiency is a crucial issue in COSE, which we formulate into an optimization problem, called EE-QPS. …”
