The effect of higher versus lower wattage e-cigarettes on smoking: A randomized controlled trial. [PDF]

Addiction
Abstract Aims To assess whether higher wattage e‐cigarettes (HWe), with improved nicotine delivery, enhance complete substitution compared with lower wattage e‐cigarettes (LWe) and whether complete switching lowers exposure to a cigarette‐derived lung carcinogen, using urinary 4‐(methylnitrosamino)‐1‐(3‐pyridyl)‐1‐butanol (NNAL) as a biomarker.

A Hybrid of Dual and Meet-in-the-Middle Attack on Sparse and Ternary Secret LWE

IEEE Access, 2019
The dual attack is one of the most efficient attack algorithms for learning with errors (LWE) problem. Recently, an efficient variant of the dual attack for sparse and small secret LWE was reported by Albrecht (Eurocrypt 2017), which forces some LWE ...

Improvements on Making BKW Practical for Solving LWE

Cryptography, 2021
The learning with errors (LWE) problem is one of the main mathematical foundations of post-quantum cryptography. One of the main groups of algorithms for solving LWE is the Blum–Kalai–Wasserman (BKW) algorithm. This paper presents new improvements of BKW-

Using Variational Quantum Algorithm to Solve the LWE Problem

Entropy, 2022
The variational quantum algorithm (VQA) is a hybrid classical–quantum algorithm. It can actually run in an intermediate-scale quantum device where the number of available qubits is too limited to perform quantum error correction, so it is one of the most

Effect of heat stress on ileal epithelial barrier integrity in broilers divergently selected for high- and low-water efficiency [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology
Water scarcity and rising global temperatures are two of the greatest current and future threats to poultry sustainability. Therefore, selection for water efficiency (WE) and heat resilience are of vital importance.

Investigating the Effect of Reducing the Signs and Symptoms of Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy in Patients With Dry Eye Disease With Perfluorohexyloctane [PDF]

Current Therapeutic Research
: Background: Perfluorohexyloctane (PFHO) acts to prevent the evaporation of the tear film. It has the potential to limit friction related issues between the eye lid margin and the ocular surface.

Effects of Heating Treatment on Functional and Structural Properties of Liquid Whole Egg

Foods, 2023
Liquid whole egg (LWE) products have many advantages such as convenient transportation, easy production and are safe. However, LWE has a short shelf life and high thermal sensitivity, so suitable heating treatment is the key to the production of LWE ...

A reduction from an LWE problem to maximum independent set problems

Scientific Reports, 2023
The learning with errors (LWE) problem is a problem derived from machine learning that is believed to be intractable for quantum computers. This paper proposes a method that can reduce an LWE problem to a set of maximum independent set (MIS) problems ...
