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. …”

Development of a power meter for a bicycle by Liew, Keat Ken

“…However, power meters available today are marketed with a degree of accuracy (usually ±2%) that varies between manufacturers and comes at a high price tag as well. As a continuation of project done by previous student, this project focuses on developing a power meter with a full-bridge connection circuit which could compete with the market standard of accuracy by designing and completing the circuitry entirely in the laboratories of Nanyang Technological University. …”

Alternative splicing in the DBD linker region of p63 modulates binding to DNA and iASPP in vitro by Lotz, R, Osterburg, C, Chaikuad, A, Weber, S, Akutsu, M, Machel, AC, Beyer, U, Gebel, J, Löhr, F, Knapp, S, Dobbelstein, M, Lu, X, Dötsch, V

“…This stretch contains a degenerate class II SH3 domain binding motif that is responsible for interaction with iASPP, as well as two positively charged amino acids. Moreover, the concomitant loss of the charged amino acids in the alternatively spliced version decreases the affinity of p63 to its cognate DNA element two- to threefold. mRNAs encoding full-length p63, as well as its alternatively spliced version, are present in all tissues that we investigated, albeit in differing ratios. …”

Convexity of Solvability Set of Power Distribution Networks by Dymarsky, Anatoly, Turitsyn, Konstantin
