Investigating neural efficiency in the visuo-spatial domain: an FMRI study. by Ilona Lipp, Mathias Benedek, Andreas Fink, Karl Koschutnig, Gernot Reishofer, Sabine Bergner, Anja Ischebeck, Franz Ebner, Aljoscha Neubauer

“…Since most of the existing studies on neural efficiency have used ERD in the EEG as a measure of brain activation, the central aim of this study was a more detailed analysis of this phenomenon by means of functional MRI. A sample of 20 males and 20 females, who had been screened for their visuo-spatial intelligence, was confronted with a mental rotation task employing an event-related approach. …”

Role of neuronal fabp in autophagy and amyloid-β pathology in a Drosophila model of Alzheimer disease by Byoungyun Choi, Kyoung Sang Cho

“…Conversely, fabp overexpression had the opposite effect and improved memory. The modulation of Ecdysone-induced protein 75B (Eip75B) levels, the Drosophila homolog of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor, a lipid-activated nuclear receptor that functions as a transcription factor, affected the expression of autophagy-related genes and the role of fabp in Aβ pathology. …”

Multi-key homomorphic proxy re-encryption scheme based on NTRU and its application by Ruiqi LI, Chunfu JIA, Yafei WANG

“…To improve the practicability of homomorphic encryption in the application of multi-user cloud computing, a NTRU-based multi-key homomorphic proxy re-encryption (MKH-PRE) scheme was constructed.Firstly, a new form of NTRU-based multi-key ciphertext was proposed based on the idea of ciphertext extension, and the corresponding homomorphic operations and relinearization procedure were designed on the basis of this new ciphertext form, so that a NTRU-based multi-key homomorphic encryption (MKHE) scheme which supported distributed decryption was constructed.Then, resorting to the idea of key switching, the re-encryption key and re-encryption procedure were put forward such that the functionality of proxy re-encryption (PRE) was integrated to this new NTRU-based MKHE scheme.The MKH-PRE scheme preserved the properties of MKHE and PRE, and had a better performance on the client side.The scheme was applied to the privacy-preserving problems in federated learning and an experiment of the application was carried out.The results demonstrate that the accuracy of learning is scarcely affected by the encryption procedure and the computational overhead of this MKH-PRE scheme is acceptable.…”

Scottish softwood biochar for water remediation targeting selected persistent organic pollutants by Mohammad Umair Jamal, Ashleigh Fletcher, Alan Baby, Isaac Maso, Lidija Šiller

“…Morphological analysis revealed a layered carbon structure and spectroscopic analysis showed the presence of oxygen and nitrogen-based functionalities alongside 80% atomic carbon. The biochar had an average point of zero charge of 7.44 ± 0.2. 3,4-Dichloroaniline kinetic rates were rapid (<5 min), restricting kinetic analysis, while a pseudo-second-order kinetic model was best suited to represent the kinetic data for acetaminophen and carbamazepine, suggesting chemical control. …”
