Revisiting Small Private Key Attacks on Common Prime RSA

This paper revisits small private key attacks on common prime RSA, with a focus on critically analyzing the most recent Mumtaz-Luo’s attack and rectifying its flaws. Through a detailed examination of relevant parameters while solving a specific trivariate integer polynomial equation, we present a refined and enhanced small private key attack. Extensive numerical computer experiments validate the proposed method, confirming its accuracy and efficiency. Additionally, our simulated attacks successfully break common prime RSA instances that employ small private keys, enabling the rapid factorization of a given modulus. Our work not only corrects significant shortcomings in previous cryptanalysis but also offers a synthesized attack illustration of small private key attacks on common prime RSA. Moreover, the findings emphasize the importance of robust parameter selection in cryptographic implementations.

Virus Diagnostics and Antiviral Therapy in Acute Retinal Necrosis (ARN)

Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a fulminant necrotizing form of retinitis of viral origin. Without treatment, ARN leads to the irreversible blindness by destruction of the retina and the optic nerve. The clinical observation was first described under the term Kirisawa uveitis (Urayama et al., 1971) while the term acute retinal necrosis was introduced by Young & Bird (1978). The international diagnostic standard criteria were defined by Holland et al. (1994). ARN is a rare disease occurring world-wide in approximately one per 1.5-2.0 million persons per year (Muthiah et al., 2007; Vandercam et al., 2008). The rareness of this disease precludes randomized prospective clinical studies. Most observations are derived from small case series and homogenous international guidelines for therapy are still lacking. A few studies, however, allow statements on the causative agents and therapeutic principles.
Explicit Substitutions and Higher-Order Syntax [ Extended

Recently there has been a great deal of interest in higherorder syntax which seeks to extend standard initial algebra semantics to cover languages with variable binding by using functor categories. The canonical example studied in the literature is that of the untyped λ-calculus which is handled as an instance of the general theory of binding algebras, cf. Fiore, Plotkin, Turi [8]. Another important syntactic construction is that of explicit substitutions. The syntax of a language with explicit substitutions does not form a binding algebra as an explicit substitution may bind an arbitrary number of variables. Nevertheless we show that the language given by a standard signature Σ and explicit substitutions is naturally modelled as the initial algebra of the endofunctor Id + FΣ ◦ + ◦ on a functor category. We also comment on the apparent lack of modularity in syntax with variable binding as compared to first-order languages.
Redox - pressure - temperature conditions in the continental upper mantle in relation to C-O-H fluid speciation

The thesis is based on a petrologic and geochemical study of mantle xenoliths from the central Siberian craton and the Baikal-Mongolia region of central Asia. Its goal is to establish the redox regime of the lithospheric mantle in these two domains with distinct tectonic settings and age and relate it to thermal regime and the speciation of C-0-H fluids. Oxygen fugacity is calculated based on Fe2+/Fe3+ ratios in spinel and garnet of mantle peridotites obtained by Mossbauer spectroscopy. The study deals with the following topics: (i) microstructures, chemical and mineralogical composition of the xenoliths; (ii) Fe2+/Fe3+ ratios in minerals by Mossbauer spectroscopy; (iii) equilibration temperatures and pressures using mineral thermo-barometry; (iv) oxygen fugacity from mineral compositions using oxybarometry; (v) proportions of molecular components in C-0-H fluids coexisting with the studied rocks. The three main conclusions of this study are: (1) Oxygen fugacity in the lithospheric mantle in the central Siberian craton decreases from +1 to -4 ΔlogʄO2 (FMQ) at depths from 70 to 220 km and shows significant lateral variations. (2) The lithospheric mantle beneath the Baikal-Mongolia region shows important redox heterogeneities, with a sharp decrease in oxygen fugacity (from +0 to -3 AlogfO2 (FMQ)) during the transition from the spine! to garnet facies peridotites at 50 to 90 km. (3) The speciation of C-O-H fluids changes with depth from essentially H2O-CO2 in the shallow lithospheric mantle to H2O-CH4 at the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary regardless of the thermal state and the thickness of the lithosphere
From Admission to Discharge: Predicting National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale Progression in Stroke Patients Using Biomarkers and Explainable Machine Learning

As a result of social progress and improved living conditions, which have contributed to a prolonged life expectancy, the prevalence of strokes has increased and has become a significant phenomenon. Despite the available stroke treatment options, patients frequently suffer from significant disability after a stroke. Initial stroke severity is a significant predictor of functional dependence and mortality following an acute stroke. The current study aims to collect and analyze data from the hyperacute and acute phases of stroke, as well as from the medical history of the patients, in order to develop an explainable machine learning model for predicting stroke-related neurological deficits at discharge, as measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). More specifically, we approached the data as a binary task problem: improvement of NIHSS progression vs. worsening of NIHSS progression at discharge, using baseline data within the first 72 h. For feature selection, a genetic algorithm was applied. Using various classifiers, we found that the best scores were achieved from the Random Forest (RF) classifier at the 15 most informative biomarkers and parameters for the binary task of the prediction of NIHSS score progression. RF achieved 91.13% accuracy, 91.13% recall, 90.89% precision, 91.00% f1-score, 8.87% FNrate and 4.59% FPrate. Those biomarkers are: age, gender, NIHSS upon admission, intubation, history of hypertension and smoking, the initial diagnosis of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and atrial fibrillation, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels, stroke localization, systolic blood pressure levels, as well as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) levels upon admission and the onset of respiratory infection. The SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) model interpreted the impact of the selected features on the model output. Our findings suggest that the aforementioned variables may play a significant role in determining stroke patients’ NIHSS progression from the time of admission until their discharge.

The Effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance Disclosure on Firm Value

Awareness of adopting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) elements is important to achieve corporate sustainability. The basic consideration for investors in deciding to invest in a company is the implementation of ESG elements in their operational activities. This study examines the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure on firm value. The research object used is all companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange that publish sustainability reports using GRI along with the company’s annual report. This study uses a purposive sampling method, which is not random and uses certain criteria. ESG as an independent variable measured by ESG score. Meanwhile, the dependent variable is the firm value measured by price to book value. The results of this study indicate that environmental and social disclosure has no significant effect on firm value, but governance disclosure has a positive significant effect on firm value. This shows that these companies are still unable to provide all the environmental disclosure and social disclosure information needed to increase the price to book value. On the other hand, governance disclosure information can increase the price to book value.
Modelling cascading effects for systemic risk: Properties of the Freund copula

Abstract We consider a dependent lifetime model for systemic risk, whose basic idea was for the first time presented by Freund. This model allows to model cascading effects of defaults for arbitrarily many economic agents. We study in particular the pertaining bivariate copula function. This copula does not have a closed form and does not belong to the class of Archimedean copulas, either.We derive some monotonicity properties of it and show how to use this copula for modelling the cascade effect implicitly contained in observed CDS spreads.
Lexical production and innovation in child and adult Russian Heritage speakers dominant in English and Hebrew

The present study investigated lexical production and innovation of 202 participants across six groups: child and adult heritage speakers of Russian, dominant in Hebrew or American English, and monolingual Russian-speaking children and adults. Understanding quantitative performance across these six groups was intended to provide a comprehensive perspective on heritage language (HL) development, while comparing the participants’ qualitative non-target response patterns would elucidate the organization of the HL lexicon. We assessed the production of Russian nouns and verbs using a naming task. We then considered the effects of input at the societal and lexical levels (focusing on word frequency and age of acquisition). Our findings are discussed in terms of accounts of HL developmental trajectories: monolingual-like trajectory, frozen lexical development, attrition, and new language variety in a contact situation. The results presented no evidence for attrition, while elements of the other three trajectories were found in our quantitative and qualitative analyses.
Steroid estrogens in ocean sediments

Ocean sediment samples were taken adjacent and 7km from a deep ocean outfall (average depth 80m), the discharge point of an enhanced primary sewage treatment plant. All samples contained steroid estrogens at nanogram per gram levels with higher concentrations at the 7km sampling site. The concentration of estrone ranged from (0.16 - 1.17 ng/g), 17 b -estradiol (0.22 – 2.48 ng/g) and the synthetic 17 a - ethinylestradiol (<0.1 – 0.5 ng/g). The values detected correspond with estimates based on the proportion of estrogens sorbed to particles in the effluent and the expected proportion of sewage origin particles in the ocean sediments. The results suggest that estrogens associated with the particulate fraction aggregate on contact with high ionic strength seawater and settle to the seafloor after discharge through deep ocean outfalls.
A Migratable User-Level Process Package for PVM

Shared, multiuser , workstation networks are characterized by unpredictable variability in system load. Further, the concept of workstation ownership is typically present. For efficient and unobtrusive computing in such environments, applications must not only overlap their computation with communication but also redistribute their computations adaptively based on changes in workstation availability and load. Managing these issues at application level leads to programs that are difficult to write and debug. In this paper, we present a system that manages this dynamic multi-processor environment while exporting a simple message-based programming model of a dedicated, distributed memory multiprocessor to applications. Programmers are thus insulated from the many complexities of the dynamic environment at the same time are able to achieve the benefits of multi-threading, adaptive load distribution and unobtrusive computing. To support the dedicated multi-processor model efficiently, the system defines a new kind of virtual processor called User-Level Process (ULP) that can be used to implement efficient multi-threading and application-transparent migration. The viability of ULPs is demonstrated through UPVM, a prototype implementation of the PVM message passing interface using ULPs. Typically, existing PVM programs written in Single Program Multiple Data (SPMD) style need only be re-compiled to use this package. The design of the package is presented and the performance analyzed with respect to both micro-benchmarks and some complete PVM applications. Finally, we discuss aspects of the ULP package that affect its portability and its support for heterogeneity, application transparency, and application debugging.
Mesodiencephalic targeting of stimulating electrodes in patients with tremor caused by multiple sclerosis.

The review of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for tremor in patients with multiple sclerosis by Wishart and colleagues1 was a good summary of the current literature, its shortcomings, and the problems associated with this type of surgery. We have recently published a report on the difficulties invloved2 and would like to add a comment about targeting the site of DBS implantation in …

Illusio and overwork : Playing the game in the accounting field Ioana Lupu

Purpose – This paper seeks to understand: how and why do experienced professionals, who perceive themselves as autonomous, comply with organizational pressures to overwork? Unlike previous studies of professionals and overwork, we focus on experienced professionals who have achieved relatively high status within their firms and the considerable economic rewards that go with it. Drawing on the little used Bourdieusian concept of illusio, which describes the phenomenon whereby individuals are “taken in and by the game” (Bourdieu and Wacquant, 1992), we help to explain the “autonomy paradox” in professional service firms. Design/methodology/approach – This research is based on 36 semi-structured interviews primarily with experienced male and female accounting professionals in France. Findings –We find that, in spite of their levels of experience, success, and seniority, these professionals describe themselves as feeling helpless and trapped, and experience bodily subjugation. We explain this in terms of individuals enhancing their social status, adopting the breadwinner role, and obtaining and retaining recognition. We suggest that this combination of factors cause professionals to be attracted to and captivated by the rewards that success within the accounting profession can confer. Originality/value – As well as providing fresh insights into the autonomy paradox we seek to make four contributions to Bourdieusian scholarship in the professional field. First, we highlight the strong bodily component of overwork. Second, we raise questions about previous work on cynical distancing in this context. Third, we emphasise the significance of the pursuit of symbolic as well as economic capital. Finally, we argue that, while actors’ habitus may be in a state of “permanent mutation”, that mutability is in itself a sign that individuals are subject to illusio.
Technical Appendix To: From SA-CCR to RSA-CCR: Making SA-CCR Self-Consistent and Appropriately Risk-Sensitive by Cashflow Decomposition in a 3-Factor Gaussian Market Model

The full-text version of this paper can be found at: <a href="https://ssrn.com/abstract=3329538">https://ssrn.com/abstract=3329538</a>. <br><br>SA-CCR has major issues including: lack of self-consistency for linear trades; lack of appropriate risk sensitivity (zero positions can have material add-ons; moneyness is ignored); dependence on economically-equivalent confirmations. We show that SA-CCR is, by re-construction, based on a 3-factor Gaussian Market Model with particular calibration to volatility and inter-bucket correlation structure. Hence we proposed RSA-CCR (Berrahoui, Islah and Kenyon, 2019) based on cashflow decomposition and this 3-factor Gaussian Market Model. RSA-CCR solves the issues with SA-CCR for linear trades and is calibrated to SA-CCR apart from avoiding SA-CCR's issues. <br><br>This Technical appendix provides background material, proofs and technical details behind RSA-CCR not present in the source paper (Berrahoui, Islah and Kenyon 2019). There is some duplication to make this appendix more readable.
Dementia-associated mortality and its predictors among older adults in sub-Saharan Africa: results from a 2-year follow-up in Congo (the EPIDEMCA-FU study).

BACKGROUND between 2011 and 2012, we carried out a study of dementia prevalence in central Africa throughout the EPIDEMCA (Epidemiology of Dementia in Central Africa) programme. OBJECTIVE to assess dementia-related mortality among Congolese older people from the EPIDEMCA study after 2 years of follow-up. DESIGN longitudinal population-based cohort study. SETTING Gamboma and Brazzaville, Republic of Congo. METHODS older participants were traced and interviewed in rural and urban Congo annually between 2012 and 2014. DSM-IV and NINCDS-ADRDA criteria were required for dementia diagnosis. Data on vital status were collected throughout the follow-up. Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the link between baseline dementia diagnosis and mortality risk. RESULTS of 1,029 participants at baseline, 910 (88.4%) have a complete cognitive diagnosis. There were 791 participants (76.87%) with normal cognition, 56 (5.44%) with MCI and 63 (6.12%) with dementia. After 2 years of follow-up, 101 (9.8%) participants had died. Compared with participants with normal cognition, patients with dementia had 2.5 times higher mortality risk (HR = 2.53, 95% CI 1.42-4.49, P = 0.001). Among those with dementia, only clinical severity of dementia was associated with an additional increased mortality risk (HR = 1.91; CI 95%, 1.23-2.96; P = 0.004). Age (per 5-year increase), male sex and living in an urban area were independently associated with increased mortality risk across the full cohort. CONCLUSION among Congolese older adults, dementia is associated with increased mortality risk. Our results highlight the need for targeted health policies and strategies for dementia care in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
Nicotinic Receptor M3 Transmembrane Domain: Position 8 (cid:1) Contributes to Channel Gating

The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is a pentamer of homologous subunits with composition (cid:1) 2 (cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4) in adult muscle. Each subunit contains four transmembrane domains (M1–M4). Position 8 (cid:1) of the M3 domain is phenylalanine in all heteromeric (cid:1) subunits, whereas it is a hydrophobic nonaromatic residue in non- (cid:1) subunits. Given this peculiar conservation pattern, we studied its contribution to muscle nAChR activation by com- bining mutagenesis with single-channel kinetic analysis. Construction of nAChRs carrying different numbers of phenylala- nine residues at 8 (cid:1) reveals that the mean open time decreases as a function of the number of phenylalanine residues. Thus, all subunits contribute through this position independently and additively to the channel closing rate. The impairment of channel opening increases when the number of phenylalanine resi- dues at 8 (cid:1) increases from two (wild-type nAChR) to five. The gating equilibrium constant of the latter mutant nAChR is 13- fold lower than that of the wild-type nAChR. The replacement of (cid:1) F8 (cid:1) , (cid:2) L8 (cid:1) , (cid:4) L8 (cid:1) , and (cid:3) V8 (cid:1) by a series of hydrophobic amino acids reveals that the structural bases of the observed kinetic effects are nonequivalent among subunits. In the (cid:1) subunit, hydrophobic amino acids at 8 (cid:1) lead to prolonged channel life-times, whereas they lead either to normal kinetics ( (cid:4) and (cid:3) subunits) or impaired channel gating ( (cid:2) subunit) in the non- (cid:1) subunits. The overall results indicate that 8 (cid:1) positions of the M3 domains of all subunits contribute to channel gating.
