Metabolism of Epoxidised Withanolides by a Generalist and a Specialist Insect Species. [PDF]
Larvae of Heliothis (Chloridea) virescence and subflexa have the ability to convert the epoxidized terpenoid 4β‐hydroxywithanolide E (4BHWE) to withanolide S. The conversion is found by feeding the larvae an artificial diet supplemented with 13C‐labeled 4BHWE.

Toxic Evaluations of Calea phyllolepis Extracts Standardized on 6-epi-β-Verbesinol Coumarate and Its In Silico Prediction of the Toxicity. [PDF]
In vivo and in silico toxicological effects of Calea phyllolepis extracts Standardized on 6‐epi‐β‐Verbesinol Coumarate. ABSTRACT Medicinal plants are traditionally used in folk medicine. Still, there is a misconception about the safety/efficacy of natural treatments, which results in few studies on the toxic, genotoxic, and mutagenic potential of ...

New Genetic Operators for Developing S-Boxes With Low Boomerang Uniformity
The boomerang uniformity measures the resistance of block ciphers to boomerang attacks and has become an essential criterion of the substitution box (S-box).

A Unified Explanation for Drug Repurposing and Pharmacological Pleiotropy Based on Classical and Statistical Thermodynamics. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Drug repurposing is an authentic, emerging, and growing aspect of drug development when the demand for new therapeutic solutions is high. Many repurposed drugs have been discovered by serendipity or a non‐ordered process driven by chance and sharp observation.

Design and cryptanalysis of a new iterative structure
This study proposes a new iterative structure called the L‐Feistel structure, which shares similar procedures between encryption and decryption and could unify the Feistel structure and the Lai‐Massey structure. This paper evaluates the security of the L‐

A new quantum cryptanalysis method on block cipher Camellia
Symmetric cryptography is expected to be quantum safe when long‐term security is needed. Kuwakado and Morii gave a 3‐round quantum distinguisher of the Feistel cipher based on Simon's algorithm.

Multiset Structural Attack on Generalized Feistel Networks [PDF]
In this paper, we present new generic multiset attacks against generalized Feistel networks, by which we can recover all the unknown round functions completely instead of deciding whether an unknown encryption oracle is such network or a random permutation.

Progestogens and androgens influence root morphology of angiosperms in a brassinosteroid-independent manner. [PDF]
Significance Statement Plants produce progesterone and androgens, which alter root morphology in A. thaliana and 60% of tested angiosperms. Brassinosteroids seem uninvolved. Understanding the mechanism is like navigating an unknown city—exemplarily Dittelbrunn (a small village in Bavaria)—where the expected shortcut (interaction with brassinosteroids ...

Revisiting Impossible Differential Distinguishers of Two Generalized Feistel Structures [PDF]
Impossible differential attack is one of the most effective cryptanalytic methods for block ciphers. Its key step is to construct impossible differential distinguishers as long as possible. In this paper, we mainly focus on constructing longer impossible differential distinguishers for two kinds of generalized Feistel structures which are
