Structural appraisal of baja prototype using resistive strain gauges and linear potentiometer by Pabllo Miguel Maia Pires, José Antônio da Silva, Júlio César Costa Campos, Antônio Marcos de Oliveira Siqueira

“…To achieve this, reliable data is essential so that the entire process can be carried out in a coherent manner, based on engineering criteria. Therefore, the present study seeks to acquire dynamic or static loads and forces, which are present in main and critical components in a BAJA-type prototype, from the KomiKeto Baja Team - UFSJ, aiming to acquire data for the use of boundary conditions in numerical simulations, in addition to dynamic capture of loading cycles for subsequent fatigue analysis. …”

Security Analysis and Improvement of an Anonymous Authentication Scheme for Roaming Services by Youngsook Lee, Juryon Paik

“…An anonymous authentication scheme for roaming services in global mobility networks allows a mobile user visiting a foreign network to achieve mutual authentication and session key establishment with the foreign-network operator in an anonymous manner. In this work, we revisit He et al.’s anonymous authentication scheme for roaming services and present previously unpublished security weaknesses in the scheme: (1) it fails to provide user anonymity against any third party as well as the foreign agent, (2) it cannot protect the passwords of mobile users due to its vulnerability to an offline dictionary attack, and (3) it does not achieve session-key security against a man-in-the-middle attack. …”

Analytical solutions for Maxwell-scalar system on radially symmetric spacetimes by I. Andrade, D. Bazeia, M. A. Marques, R. Menezes, G. J. Olmo

“…In this formalism, the charge density must be written exclusively in terms of the components of the metric tensor and the scalar field is governed by first-order equations. We also find a manner to map the aforementioned equation into the corresponding one associated to kinks in (1, 1) spacetime dimensions, so we get analytical solutions for three specific spacetimes. …”

Effects of Sodium Fluoride on Water and Acid Secretion, Soluble Mucus and Adherent Mucus of the Rat Stomach by Kamel Gharzouli, Smain Amira, Seddik Khennouf, Akila Gharzouli

“…The amount of Alcian blue bound to adherent mucus was reduced in a pH-independent manner by sodium fluoride. The absence of a correlation between soluble glycoproteins and adherent mucus suggests that sodium fluoride does not stimulate mucus secretion, but rather acts as a barrier-breaking agent by its accumulation, together with acid, into the mucosa.…”

El Greco's Italian paintings (1560-76) based on Bible texts by Estelle Alma Maré

“…Through study and experiment, and by following the examples of other artists who had achieved artistic mastery and was of proven Catholic orthodoxy, he educated himself as an artist in the Western manner. Even during his years as an apprentice El Greco’s art is proof that he aspired to the highest humanly accessible values exemplified by Renaissance artistic theory, humanism and Christian spirituality — all of which later came to fruition in an unprecedented original combination in Toledo, Spain, where he settled permanently in 1577. …”
