Computer-aided approaches reveal trihydroxychroman and pyrazolone derivatives as potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 virus main protease by Atatreh Noor, Hasan Shaima, Ali Bassam R., Ghattas Mohammad A.

“…Interestingly, the top compounds showed favorable binding energies and binding patterns to the protease enzyme, forming interactions with several key residues. Trihydroxychroman and pyrazolone derivatives, SN02 and SN18 ligands, exhibited very promising binding modes along with the best MM-GBSA scoring of –40.9 and –41.2 kcal mol−1, resp. …”

State of the practice on energy-based liquefaction evaluation and research significance by Takaji Kokusho

“…Since the 1964 Niigata and Alaskan earthquakes, which incurred severe liquefaction damage, liquefaction-related design for infrastructures and buildings has been developed exclusively on the principle of force equilibrium. However, the energy concept is increasingly recognized as superior for simplified and robust liquefaction designs because of the uniqueness of energy capacity in soil failures regardless of the differences in earthquake loads. …”

Cryptanalysis and design of signature schemes with identity ambiguity in the standard model by ZHANG Ming-wu1, YANG Bo1, YAO Jin-tao1, ZHANG Wen-zheng2

“…The security and flaw of the two anonymous signature schemes called ZLW（2008） and LHMM（2009） were analyzed,where the ZLW scheme couldn’t provide signed message verifiability and the LHMM scheme couldn’t resist on the multiple-known-signature existential forgery.A novel anonymous signature scheme was proposed that enforced the security level to Model3 security and reduced the computational cost,which only needed two multiple calculations in G in signing phase and n+1 bilinear pairing operators in verifying algorithm.…”

Multi-user physical layer authentication mechanism based on lightweight CNN and channel feature assistance by Yankun WANG, Dengke GUO, Dongtang MA, Jun XIONG, Xiaoying ZHANG

“…To address the problems of poor robustness and high complexity of current physical layer user authentication algorithms, a lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) channel feature extraction algorithm was proposed to reduce the channel state response required for training by changing the form of network input, and a multi-user physical layer channel feature-assisted authentication mechanism was established based on this algorithm to design a detailed process from user registration to authentication, and multi-user authentication and network parameter update online were completed.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can complete multi-user authentication, obtain good detection performance with smaller training rounds, and require fewer training samples than existing multi-user authentication algorithms.…”

Beauty and the Tweet: How traditional media seduce in the digital age by Florent MONCOMBLE

“…It is on this platform that the old headline seems to be revived, both in terms of purpose and form, but in a renewed, less aphoristic expression, which traditional media are still slow to adopt.Looking at a corpus of 1,800 news website headlines and 2,400 news tweets from some of the major online outlets provides some quantitative as well as qualitative insights into how the pragmatically oriented syntax of headlinese is evolving to keep the seduction working.…”

Die Aufnahme bestätigt die Regel. Analyse als Interpretation (Response) by Julian Caskel

“…Die durchgängig hohe Qualität der Beiträge, deren konkrete Ergebnisse an drei spezifische zyklische Werke gebunden bleiben, rückt stattdessen die Frage nach den grundsätzlichen Voraussetzungen der hier vorgestellten Forschungen ins Zentrum: (1) Die methodischen Implikationen von Zeitpunktmessungen könnten noch genauer reflektiert werden (die Diskussion der empirischen Messungen erfolgt vor allem anhand der Beiträge zu Bachs ›Goldberg-Variationen‹). (2) Normative Voreinstellungen bei der Selektion von Aufnahmen oder Textreferenzen sollten explizit mitdiskutiert werden (die Diskussion der hermeneutischen Meinungsbildung erfolgt vor allem anhand der Beiträge zu Beethovens ›Diabelli-Variationen‹). (3) Die gemeinsamen oder getrennten Zugangswege von Theorie und Praxis werden nochmals zur Debatte gestellt (nun stärker anhand der Beiträge zu Schuberts Winterreise). (4) Als Ausblick werden Möglichkeiten zur Weiterverwertung der Daten in einem eigenen Analysebeispiel anhand von Aufnahmen des Pianisten Igor Levit vorgeführt. …”
