Fault Attacks on the Authenticated Encryption Stream Cipher MORUS

This paper investigates the application of fault attacks to the authenticated encryption stream cipher algorithm MORUS.We propose fault attacks on MORUS with two different goals: one to breach the confidentiality component, and the other to breach the integrity component.For the Boomerang fault attack on the confidentiality component of MORUS, we p

What Makes Metaphors Manipulative Tools?

Manipulation implies a conscious choice from speakers to trigger a change of opinion in the interlocutors and to make them accept their own point of view, i.e.their own vision of the world.As pointed out by Goatly [2007], Charteris-Black [2005, 2014] or Van Dijk [1998], metaphors can be used as manipulative tools.Metaphors have traditionally been c

Tuberal hypothalamic neurons secreting the satiety molecule Nesfatin-1 are critically involved in paradoxical (REM) sleep homeostasis.

The recently discovered Nesfatin-1 plays a role in appetite regulation as a satiety factor through hypothalamic leptin-independent mechanisms.Nesfatin-1 is co-expressed with Melanin-Concentrating Hormone (MCH) in neurons from the tuberal hypothalamic area (THA) which are recruited during sleep states, especially paradoxical sleep (PS).To help decip

Soil tillage energy efficiency increase

Tillage energy efficiency increase is one of the important tasks in improving the profitability and sustainability of agricultural production.The paper proposes to increase cultivation energy efficiency due to the use of traction-drive tilling implement with active working bodies, not creating a high traction resistance and not requiring a large to
