All You Need is XOR-Convolution: A Generalized Higher-Order Side-Channel Attack with Application to XEX/XE-based Encryptions by Rei Ueno, Akira Ito, Yosuke Todo, Akiko Inoue, Kazuhiko Minematsu, Hibiki Ishikawa, Naofumi Homma

“…The profiled higher-order SCAs on masked implementations can be written in the form of an XCCA distinguisher using XOR-convolution with the new concept of leaking and target selection functions. The generalized representation clarifies how and why a higher-order SCA has better or worse performance from the theoretical viewpoint of noise amplification, which is also demonstrated through experiments and a spectrum analysis based on Walsh–Hadamard transform (WHT). …”

Enhancing Spatial Allocation of Pediatric Medical Facilities for Reduced Travel-Related CO₂ Emissions: A Case Study in Tianjin, China by Hongjie Dong, He Zhang, Rui Wang, Yutong Zhang, Yuxue Zhang, Lisha Zhang

“…The results show that (1) travel-related CO₂ emissions for pediatric medical-seeking are the highest in the city center, outpatient-related CO₂ emissions surpass inpatient ones, and children’s hospital-related CO₂ emissions are higher than those related to comprehensive hospitals, from which potential carbon reduction points can be explored; (2) children’s hospitals with multibranch and composite functional allocations can significantly reduce CO₂ emissions; (3) comprehensive hospitals can further alleviate CO₂ emissions from children’s hospitals by enhancing the medical level, transportation infrastructure, population distribution, and other spatial environmental factors; (4) from the perspective of low-carbon travel and equity, a spatial allocation strategy should be adopted for children’s hospitals that includes multiple branches and composite functions, while comprehensive hospitals should focus on service capacity, parity, supply–demand ratio, and the population density of children.…”

A Flexible Bridge Rating Method Based on Analytical Evidential Reasoning and Monte Carlo Simulation by Saleh Abu Dabous, Ghadeer Al-Khayyat

“…The proposed method is novel to the literature and has the following features: (1) flexible and can be used with any number of bridge elements and any standard of condition grades; (2) intuitive and simple paired comparison technique is implemented to evaluate weights of the bridge elements; (3) the MCS technique is integrated with the ER approach to quantify uncertainties associated with the stochastic nature of the bridge deterioration process; (4) the method can function with limited data and can incorporate new evidence to update the condition rating; (5) the final rating consists of multiple condition grades and is produced as a distributed probabilistic assessment reflecting the condition of the bridge elements collectively. …”
