Post-quantum verifier-based three-party password authenticated key exchange protocol by Huanhuan LIAN, Huiying HOU, Yunlei ZHAO

“…In view of the fact that server stored the passwords directly in plaintext, there was a risk of server compromise, and two-party PAKE protocol was not suitable for large-scale communication systems, a three-party verifier-based password authenticated key exchange protocol from lattices was proposed.Hashing scheme and zero-knowledge password policy check were combined to realize the generation of verifier and the password checking.A novel verifier-based 3PAKE protocol was constructed by using CCA-secure public-key encryption from lattices, which realized mutual authentication.Security and performance analysis shows that the proposed protocol has better advantages in communication efficiency and security.…”

Orthodontic Wire Ingestion during Treatment: Reporting a Case and Review the Management of Foreign Body Ingestion or Aspiration (Emergencies) by Mohammad Hoseini, Seyed Morteza Saadat Mostafavi, Navid Rezaei, Ehsan Javadzadeh Boluri

“…Therefore, we can say that orthodontic treatment requires working with dangerous tools in a sensitive place like oral cavity which is the entrance of respiratory and digestive systems. In this paper, a case of ingesting a broken orthodontic wire during eating is reported, and also necessary remedial measures at the time of encountering foreign body ingestion or aspiration are provided.…”

From numbers to forms. The digital turn in morphogenic processes by Michela Barosio, Rossella Gugliotta

“…These tools have been used mainly to create new forms with non-Euclidean geometries and their integration with building systems, also dynamic. This paper investigates the possibility of using parametric tools to handle urban transformations based on formal parameters and not merely quantitative ones, coming from the morphological analysis of the existent city. …”

Cerebral Phosphorus Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in a Patient with Giant Cell Arteritis and Endovascular Therapy by Ruth Steiger, Lisa-Maria Walchhofer, Andreas Rietzler, Katherina J. Mair, Michael Knoflach, Bernhard Glodny, Elke R. Gizewski, Astrid E. Grams

“…In this case study, we report on a patient with stenosis and wall contrast enhancement in the left internal carotid and the right vertebral artery, due to giant cell arteritis. 31P MRS revealed a decreased inorganic phosphate-to-phosphocreatine ratio (Pi/PCr) in regions with a prolonged mean transit time (MTT). After systemic therapy and angioplasty of the right vertebral artery, the stenosis and the symptoms improved and the area of prolonged MTT became smaller. …”
