Collision Attacks on Reduced RIPEMD-128 by Zhengrong Lu, Hongbo Yu, Xiaoen Lin, Sitong Yuan

“…To ensure practical attacks, we limit the number of conditions based on our message modification strategy and use multi-step message modification techniques to control more conditions. As a result, we successfully generate colliding message pairs for 46-step and 54-step reduced RIPEMD-128, with time complexities of approximately 242 and 254, respectively. …”

Supplemental effect of dietary nucleotides on hematological profile, hepatic biomarkers, antioxidant capacity, and digestive functions in Sterlet sturgeon, Acipenser ruthenus by Meigol Taklu, Houman Rajabi Islami, Seyed Pezhman Hosseini Shekarabi, Seyed Abdolmajid Mousavi, Ayoub Yousefi Jourdehi

“…The intestinal histology revealed that the fish fed with NTs at 3.5 g/kg exhibited the greatest villus height and width, along with more goblet cells (p < 0.05). Based on the second-order polynomial regression analysis, the optimum dietary levels of NTs for positive effects on physiometabolic responses and intestine functions of the Sterlet sturgeon lies in the range of 2.2–3.6 g/kg.…”

A hydrological drought risk assessment method based on a four-dimensional Copula function model integrating development and recovery speed characteristics by Xiangyang Zhang, Zening Wu, Huiliang Wang, Zhilei Yu, Yifan Chen

“…The results demonstrate that: (1) The model can effectively capture drought conditions in the YRB, where runoff generally declined by up to 13%. The frequency of hydrological droughts ranges from 0.31 to 0.39, with mild and moderate droughts accounting for 82–96%. (2) D, S, and DS exhibited intensification trends (0.0089/a, −0.0213/a, and −0.0043/a, respectively), whereas RS shows an alleviation trend (0.0028/a). (3) The four-dimensional Copula function is predominantly a Gaussian Copula function. …”
