Greenhouse gas emissions of global construction material production by Seth Kane, Josefine A Olsson, Sabbie A Miller

“…Both construction material production and emissions are primarily driven by structural materials, such as concrete and steel. Material selection can play a key role in reducing emissions in the context of the function, with variation in emissions of structural materials per unit strength between 0.001–0.1 kg CO _2 /kg/MPa and in insulation materials per R -value/thickness of 0.018–0.14 kg CO _2 /kg/(K⋅m ^2 W ^−1 ))). …”

Adaptation of the modular number system in threshold secret sharing schemes by A. F. Chernyavskiy, A. I. Kazlova, V. S. Sadov, A. A. Kolyada

“…The results of the presented work allow to conclude for modular threshold cryptosystems of secret sharing in distributed data processing systems that the use of a linear masking function and narrowing the range of changes in the masking analogue S̃ of the original secret S, allowing for minimally redundant coding for the selected p1, p2, …, pn, causes a significant reduction in the computational complexity of the calculated minimal-redundant modular arithmetic relations of integral characteristics within the framework of the model under study. …”
