A Novel Multi-Image Encryption Scheme Using Generalized Rectangular Transform and Advanced 5-D Hyperchaotic Map by Yu-Chi Lan, Chung-Ming Wang

“…In the pixel diffusion phase, a bit-level random permutation (BLRP) technique is employed alongside a Penta-Hyperchaotic Map (PHM), an advanced 5-D discrete memristor and meminductor-based hyperchaotic map, integrated with the SHA-512 hashing function. Unlike traditional pixel-based diffusion methods, BLRP shuffles bits, achieving finer confusion and making structural inference significantly more difficult for attackers. …”

THE MUNICIPAL LEGAL AWARENESS: STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS by Denis O. Bobrovnyk

“…The author considers that, unlike municipal legal psychology, which is formed mainly spontaneously, depending on subjective events in municipal life and the experience of past generations, municipal legal ideology is formed in a systemic way as a result of: a) scientific (doctrinal), theoretical reflection of the municipal legal reality, b) based on the generalization and development of the most famous and significant municipal legal theories of the past and present; c) study of the main regularities of the formation, development and functioning of municipalism and its regulatory support and maintenance; d) study of the fundamental principles of municipalism, which are enshrined in international legal standards of local democracy; e) study of the basic principles of the state municipal policy. …”

Cowley, Ruxandra Bachmann-Gagescu, Ruxandra Bachmann-Gagescu, Ruxandra Bachmann-Gagescu, Ruxandra Bachmann-Gagescu

“…Interestingly, we found that while GPR161 signal almost completely disappeared from cilia upon Sonic hedgehog (SHH) stimulation in NSCs and immature neurons, this was not the case in more mature neurons, suggesting a possible developmental time window for cilia-dependent SHH signaling.ConclusionTaken together, our results provide a systematic description of cilia in hiPSC-derived neuronal cells generated with different protocols, underscoring the importance of selecting the optimal model system and controls for investigating primary cilia in hiPSC-derived neuronal cells.…”
