In 2010, Tao Xie and Dengguo Feng [XF10] constructed the first single-block collision for MD5 consisting of two 64-byte messages that have the same MD5 hash. Details of their attack, developed using what they call an evolutionary approach, has not been disclosed “for security reasons”. Instead they have posted a challenge to the cryptology community to find a new different single-block collisio...

Nucleocytoplasmic transport is highly selective, efficient, and is regulated by a poorly understood mechanism involving hundreds of disordered FG nucleoporin proteins (FG nups) lining the inside wall of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). Previous research has concluded that FG nups in Baker's yeast (S. cerevisiae) are present in a bimodal distribution, with the "Forest Model" classifying FG nups a...

manufactured single crystal components using ni-base super alloys are routinely used in the hotsections of aero engines and industrial gas turbines due to their outstanding high temperaturestrength, toughness and resistance to degradation in corrosive and oxidative environments. tocontrol the quality of the single crystal turbine blades, particular attention has been paid to grainselection, whi...

Abstract Private information retrieval (PIR) is one of the promising techniques to preserve user privacy in presence trusted-but-curious servers. The theoretically private query construction assures highest over curious and unbounded computation Therefore, need for information-theoretic was fulfilled by various schemes a variety PIR settings. But, there lack efficient encryption switching schem...

Three-dimensional finely grained plastic scintillator detectors bring many advantages in particle detectors, allowing a massive active target which enables high-precision tracking of interaction products, excellent calorimetry and sub-nanosecond time resolution. Whilst such can be scaled up to several-tonnes, as required by future neutrino experiments, relatively long production time, where eac...
