Cryptanalysis on Two Kinds of Number Theoretic Pseudo-Random Generators Using Coppersmith Method by Ran Zhang, Jingguo Bi, Lixiang Li, Haipeng Peng

“…Therefore, in this paper, we revisit the security of these two number-theoretic pseudo-random generators and obtain the best results for attacking these two kinds of PRNGs up to now. More precisely, we prove that when the mapping function of LCG and the quadratic generator is unknown, if during each iteration, generators only output the most significant bits of vi, one can also recover the seed of PRNG when enough consecutive or nonconsecutive outputs are obtained. …”

The Sydney Opera House – a modern heritage site’s response to climate change by Laura Matarese, Emma Bombonato

“…Abstract This paper addresses how the Sydney Opera House (hereafter ‘Opera House’), an UNESCO World Heritage site, has responded to climate change over the past three decades to become a more sustainable heritage site. The implementation of climate actions is critical to conserving and strengthening the Opera House’s cultural heritage significance—the building and its function as a performing arts centre and place for the community. …”

Egg speckling patterns do not advertise offspring quality or influence male provisioning in great tits. by Mary Caswell Stoddard, Annette L Fayet, Rebecca M Kilner, Camilla A Hinde

“…Many passerine birds lay white eggs with reddish brown speckles produced by protoporphyrin pigment. However, the function of these spots is contested. Recently, the sexually selected eggshell coloration (SSEC) hypothesis proposed that eggshell color is a sexually selected signal through which a female advertises her quality (and hence the potential quality of her future young) to her male partner, thereby encouraging him to contribute more to breeding attempts. …”
