Superstrength permanent magnets with iron-based superconductors by data- and researcher-driven process design by Akiyasu Yamamoto, Shinnosuke Tokuta, Akimitsu Ishii, Akinori Yamanaka, Yusuke Shimada, Mark D. Ainslie

“…Abstract Iron-based high-temperature (high-T c) superconductors have good potential to serve as materials in next-generation superstrength quasipermanent magnets owing to their distinctive topological and superconducting properties. However, their unconventional high-T c superconductivity paradoxically associates with anisotropic pairing and short coherence lengths, causing challenges by inhibiting supercurrent transport at grain boundaries in polycrystalline materials. …”

Automotive ethernet controller authentication method based on national cryptographic algorithms by Hui GUO, Yong LUO, Xiaolu GUO

“…With the development of intelligent and connected cars, cyber security of automotive ethernet becomes the focus of automotive industry.Authentication is one of the key technologies for automotive ethernet security.The existing authentication methods have shortcomings to meet the requirements of both safety and electronic controllers’ performance.Besides, national cryptographic algorithms are becoming a trend for automotive network security, while the related research in automotive ethernet area is still in starting phase.In order to balance the limited computing performance of electronic controllers and high security requirements of automotive ethernet, a two-stage trust chain authentication method based on national cryptographic algorithms was proposed.The method can be used in different automotive ethernet topologies.A trust chain was built up based on authentication credentials, which linked the two authentication stages, namely the initial stage and the vehicle using stage.The initial stage was triggered by diagnosis instrument at end of line or controller replacement.It deployed complete authentication based on SM2 algorithm and certificates in the initial stage.The vehicle using stage was triggered by ethernet gateway at vehicle power-on or network wakeup.In this stage, the method deployed fast authentication based on SM4 algorithm and authentication credential trust chain.The authentication credentials for trust chain were generated by credential functions.In order to ensure security, each credential was generated based on last successful authentication parameters dynamically.The test results on automotive ethernet controllers show that the method has lower computing cost and higher security level, and it can guarantee both performance and security.…”

The Associations of Street Network and Urban Form with Walking Frequencies by Peter Schön, Eva Heinen, Bendik Manum

“…Street network configurations are described by topological centrality (integration). Results show significant positive associations of reach, attraction reach, and integration with walking frequency, with the best model fits achieved by accessible total floor area and reach within relatively high network radii (1000 – 2000 m and 6 axial steps), indicating that connectivity and access to a variety of attraction and functions, often beyond administrative borders, encourage walking. …”
