Ely, Daniel, Michael Herman, Lawrence Ely, Linda Barrett, and Amy Milsted. Sodium intake is increased by social stress and the Y chromosome and reduced by clonidine. Am. J. Physiol. Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 278: R407–R412, 2000.—The objectives were to determine 1) if female rats have higher Na intake than males and if social stress increases Na intake, 2) if the sympathetic nervous...

Background Betahistine dihydrochloride (BDH) is a histamine analog used to control weight gain, with short elimination half-life and gastric irritation as side effects. Objective The aim of the current investigation is to formulate and optimize a topical BDH ethosomal gel for weight gain control. Materials and methods Box-Behnken design was applied to study the effect of independent variabl...

Multivariate Public Key Cryptosystems (MPKCs) are often touted as future-proofing against Quantum Computers. It also has been known for efficiency compared to “traditional” alternatives. However, this advantage seems to erode with the increase of arithmetic resources in modern CPUs and improved algorithms, especially with respect to Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). In this paper, we show that...

This article investigates the problem of optimal tracking control for cyber-physical systems (CPSs) when cyber realm is attacked by Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks which can prevent signal transmitting to actuator. Attention focused on how design scheme without using system dynamics and analyze impact DoS performance. First, a Riccati equation augmented system, including model reference derived...

We present a cryptanalysis of the ASASA public key cipher introduced at Asiacrypt 2014 [3]. This scheme alternates three layers of affine transformations A with two layers of quadratic substitutions S. We show that the partial derivatives of the public key polynomials contain information about the intermediate layer. This enables us to present a very simple distinguisher between an ASASA public...

We analyze the causes and mechanisms of inequality in Post-Soviet Union transition economies. First, we show that both economic globalisation – namely, import, export, and foreign direct investment – and institutional factors – namely, privatisation reforms, labour market liberalisation, and product market liberalisation – are strongly associated with within-country rises in inequality. However...

This paper examines the impact of trade liberalization on U.S. Congressional elections. We nd that U.S. counties subject to greater competition from China via a change in U.S. trade policy exhibit relative increases in turnout, the share of votes cast for Democrats and the probability that the county is represented by a Democrat. We nd that these changes are consistent with Democrats in o ce du...

This paper discusses the measurement of production and employment effects of trade policy, and more broadly the effects of economic integration and globalization. First, it provides a broad-brush overview of the ex-post literature linking trade to performance, such as measures of worker displacement, adjustment costs, and econometric evidence on trade and wages. It then defines structural impac...

This study adopts a GNP function approach in order to examine the impact of migrant labour on domestic factors of production in the United Kingdom. We also examine the relationship between imports and migrants, which are two different facets of globalisation. We find that an increase in the number of unskilled migrants reduces the wages of unskilled domestic workers. However the quantitative im...
