Rediscovery of Crystalline Niacin

A Fine Rediscovery

This article explores the history of the two results in integer partitions known as Stanley’s theorem and Elder’s theorem. While history has credited Richard Stanley with the discovery of the results, we note that Nathan Fine had established these results among a host of other partition identities over a decade earlier. In tribute to Fine, analogues in the sets of odd partitions and distinct pa...

A rediscovery of Alfred Russel

Alfred Russel Wallace spent eight years in South-East Asia studying the biodiversity of the region in the course of visits to Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. His collections, extensively and scrupulously acquired in the Malay Archipelago, include zoological specimens such as insects, birds, reptiles and mammals. In addition, Wallace collected botanical and ethnological material. The bulk of ...

Rediscovery of Time Memory Tradeoffs

Some of the existing time memory tradeoff attacks (TMTO) on specific systems can be reinterpreted as methods for inverting general oneway functions. We apply these methods back to specific systems in ways not considered before. This provides the following startling results. No streamcipher can provide security equal to its key length; some important blockcipher modes of operations are vulnerabl...

Extended-release niacin/laropiprant: reducing niacin-induced flushing to better realize the benefit of niacin in improving cardiovascular risk factors.

Treatment with niacin effectively improves multiple lipid parameters and cardiovascular outcomes. Widespread use of niacin, however, is limited by flushing, which is mediated primarily by prostaglandin D2 (PGD2). Laropiprant is a selective PGD2 receptor 1 (DP1) antagonist that reduces objective measures of niacin-induced flushing symptoms upon initiation of therapy and with more chronic use. Re...
