1. Key Management 

   Krähenbühl, Cyrill; Perrig, Adrian (2023)

   Trends in Data Protection and Encryption Technologies

   Key management describes how cryptographic keys are created, securely stored, distributed to the respective key holders, and used in accordance with protocol specifications. It is thus a cornerstone of most cryptographic systems and must be handled with care. Advances in hardware security modules used in key storage and high-end and low-cost random number generator used in key generation show a promising future for secure and affordable ...

2. MRI safety 

   Luechinger, Roger (2023)

   Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Congenital Heart Disease

   Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a safe diagnostic tool, and several 100 million diagnostic studies have been performed safely up to now. However, there have been at least 17 published cases of patient deaths associated with MRI scanning, 10 cases with implanted pacemakers, 2 patients with an insulin pump, 1 patient with a neurostimulator, 1 patient with an aneurysm clip, and 3 persons killed by an oxygen tank brought into the scanner ...

3. D-brane Masses at Special Fibres of Hypergeometric Families of Calabi–Yau Threefolds, Modular Forms, and Periods 

   Bönisch, Kilian; Klemm, Albrecht; Scheidegger, Emanuel; et al. (2024)

   Communications in Mathematical Physics

   We consider the fourteen families W of Calabi–Yau threefolds with one complex structure parameter and Picard–Fuchs equation of hypergeometric type, like the mirror of the quintic in P4. Mirror symmetry identifies the masses of even-dimensional D-branes of the mirror Calabi–Yau M with four periods of the holomorphic (3, 0)-form over a symplectic basis of H3(W,Z). It was discovered by Chad Schoen that the singular fiber at the conifold of ...

4. Column-Compound Extremes in the Global Ocean 

   Wong, Joel; Münnich, Matthias; Gruber, Nicolas (2024)

   AGU Advances

   Marine extreme events such as marine heatwaves, ocean acidity extremes and low oxygen extremes can pose a substantial threat to marine organisms and ecosystems. Such extremes might be particularly detrimental (a) when they are compounded in more than one stressor, and (b) when the extremes extend substantially across the water column, restricting the habitable space for marine organisms. Here, we use daily output of a hindcast simulation ...

5. Exposure manipulation strategies for balancing computational efficiency and precision in seismic risk analysis 

   Papadopoulos, Athanasios N.; Roth, Philippe; Danciu, Laurentiu (2024)

   Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering

   Exposure models for regional seismic risk assessment often place assets at the centroids of administrative units for which data are available. At best, a top-down approach is followed, where such data are spatially disaggregated over a denser spatial grid, using proxy datasets such as the distribution of population or the density of night-time lights. The resolution of the spatial grid is either dictated by the resolution of the proxy ...
