A METHOD FOR INVESTIGATING MACHINE LEARNING ATTACKS ON ARBITER-TYPE PHYSICALLY UNCLONABLE FUNCTIONS by Yuri A. Korotaev

“…This approach allows for a preliminary evaluation of the effectiveness of different algorithms for attacking APUFs without access to challenge-response datasets from real instances of physically unclonable functions. Attacks were conducted on models of basic and modified variants of APUFs from the open-source library "pypuf", using classical logistic regression and artificial neural networks (ANNs). …”

Forecasting springtime rainfall in southeastern Australia using empirical orthogonal functions and neural networks by S. Marčelja

“…In addition to standard ocean climate indicators such as El Niño or the Indian Ocean Dipole, other typical patterns of variation are captured in terms of the temperatures of selected ocean areas. When characteristic patterns of correlation are discovered, they are included in the predictor selection in the form of expansion in terms of the empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs). …”

Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis genome resources and metabolite profiling at the strain level and their ability to alleviate anxiety-like behavior in a sleep-deprived mouse... by Yao-Kun Zhang, Liang Zhang, Xue Ni, Shu-Wen Zhang, Min-Zhi Jiang, Si-Lu Zhang, Guo-Xun Xiao, He Jiang, Ming-Xia Bi, Yu-Lin Wang, Chang Liu, Shuang-Jiang Liu

“…In vivo, WLBA3 reduced inflammation and oxidative stress by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway and modulating gut microbiota (e.g., Lactobacillus and Alistipes), which in turn significantly improved weight gain and fatigue resistance, attenuated cognitive function, and anxiety-like behavior. These findings provide insights into the diversity of B. animalis subsp. lactis strain resources and highlight the potential of WLBA3 as a candidate for alleviating sub-health symptoms.…”

Antimicrobial Activity of Chitosan from Different Sources Against Non-<i>Saccharomyces</i> Wine Yeasts as a Tool for Producing Low-Sulphite Wine by Francesco Tedesco, Rocchina Pietrafesa, Gabriella Siesto, Carmen Scieuzo, Rosanna Salvia, Patrizia Falabella, Angela Capece

“…Finally, the efficiency of different antimicrobial treatments was evaluated during laboratory-scale fermentations inoculated with a selected <i>S. cerevisiae</i> strain. The tested strains exhibited medium/high resistance to the chitosan; in some cases, the behaviour varied in the function of species/strain, and only four strains exhibited different resistance levels, depending on the chitosan source. …”
