Abstract The latest advances in quantum computing forced the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to launch an initiative for selecting quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms. One best-known proposals is NewHope, algorithm that was initially designed as a key exchange algorithm. In its original design, NewHope presented reconciliation mechanism complex represents entry barr...

The oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL) may play an important role in atherogenesis. Antioxidants that can prevent LDL oxidation may act as antiatherogens. Our understanding of the mechanism of LDL oxidation and factors that determine its susceptibility to oxidation is still incomplete. Copper is a candidate for oxidizing LDL in atherosclerotic lesions. The binding of copper...

The acceptance of public participation in science and technology governance in liberal democratic contexts is evident in the institutionalization of a variety of mechanisms for participation in recent decades. Yet questions remain about the extent to which institutions have actually transformed their policy practice to embrace democratic governance of techno-scientific decision making. A critic...

We have examined the evolution of the concept of a Hebbian synaptic modification and have suggested a contemporary definition. The biophysical mechanism demonstrated in vitro to control the induction of one type of hippocampal LTP has been shown to satisfy our definition of a Hebbian synaptic modification. Whether this biophysical mechanism is involved in the organization of behavior in the man...

objective(s):small ubiquitin-like modifiers (sumos) are a family of ubiquitin-related, proteins that are involved in a wide variety of signaling pathways. sumoylation, as a vital post translational modification, regulate protein function in manycellular processes. diazinon (dzn), an organophosphate insecticide, causses oxidative stress and subsequently programmed cell death in different tissues...
