Brittle crack propagation acceleration in a single crystal of a 3% silicon-Fe alloy by Tomoya Kawabata, Noritaka Nakamura, Shuji Aihara

“…Though it has been reported that the upper limit of the speed of brittle crack propagation is theoretically the Rayleigh wave speed, which is approximately 2,900 m/s in steels, the actual speed of brittle crack propagation in steels is approximately 1,000 m/s and lower. The reason for this difference is due to braking effects during crack propagation, for example, unevenness in the faceting, tear ridges, microcracking, twin deformation and side ligaments, which are the elements that dominate the arresting toughness. …”

Study of the Protection of Aluminum Alloy Surfaces by a Graphene-Modified Fluorocarbon Anticorrosive Coating by Peng Wang, Dayong Cai

“…When 0.8% of rGO was added, the dispersion coefficient was large, and it had a good physical insulation performance. The main reason for the reduction of the corrosion resistance was that the agglomeration of rGO made the aluminum alloy matrix and the external corrosive environment form a highly conductive circuit, thereby accelerating the corrosion of the aluminum alloy matrix.…”

Computationally secure steganography based on speech synthesis by Menghan LI, Kejiang CHEN, Weiming ZHANG, Nenghai YU

“…The steganography theory of computing security has been proposed for a long time, but it has not been widely adopted for mainstream steganography using multimedia data as a carrier.The reason is that the prerequisite for calculating secure steganography is to obtain the accurate distribution of the carrier or to accurately sample according to the carrier distribution.However, naturally collected images and audio/video cannot meet this prerequisite.With the development of deep learning technology, various machine-generated media such as image generation and synthesized speech, have become more and more common on the Internet and then generated media has become a reasonable steganography carrier.Steganography can use normal generated media to cover up secret communications, and pursue in distinguishability from normal generated media.The distribution learned by some generative models is known or controllable, which provides an opportunity to push computational security steganography for practical use.Taking the widely used synthetic speech model as an example, a computationally secure symmetric key steganography algorithm was designed and implemented.The message was decompressed into the synthetic audio according to the decoding process of arithmetic coding based on the conditional probability of sample points, and the message receiver had the same generation model to complete the message extraction by reproducing the audio synthesis process.The public key steganography algorithm was additionally designed based on this algorithm, which provided algorithmic support for the realization of full-flow steganographic communication.Steganographic key exchange ensured the security of steganographic content and the security of steganographic behavior was also achieved.The theoretical analysis showed that the security of the proposed algorithm is determined by the randomness of the embedded message.And the steganography analysis experiment further verified that the attacker cannot distinguish the synthesized carrier audio from the encrypted audio.…”

FOR A SOCIOLOGY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN by Francesco Vespasiano

“…The history of the Mediterranean, this is the hypothesis put forward in the article, could help us to reflect innovatively on the demographic and cultural dynamics that are taking place in a particularly significant way. The reason for which it is hypothesized that the Mediterranean could be the privileged social place where we can reflect on the metamorphosis we are experiencing lies in the long tradition of welcoming diversity and in the capacity for the coexistence of religions, cultures, and civilizations that, over the centuries, have been the force thanks to which the whole world has been dominated, despite the clashes that historiography has unquestionably shown us. …”
