Resistin: yet another adipokine tells us that men are not mice

Mice are not men.

Proinflammatory Properties Resistin, an Adipokine with Potent

Absence of EC-SOD does not promote atherogenesis in mice: have we lost yet another player?

A convincing body of cell culture, animal, and epidemiological studies have provided support and plausible biological mechanisms of a role for lipid oxidation in atherogenesis.1,2 Oxidized structures associated with lipoproteins, primarily LDL, have been shown to be abundant in atherosclerotic plaques.3 The observation that cultured macrophages take up oxidized LDL through a family of scavenger...

YASS: Yet Another Steganographic Scheme That Resists Blind Steganalysis

A new, simple, approach for active steganography is proposed in this paper that can successfully resist recent blind steganalysis methods, in addition to surviving distortion constrained attacks. We present Yet Another Steganographic Scheme (YASS), a method based on embedding data in randomized locations so as to disable the selfcalibration process (such as, by cropping a few pixel rows and/or ...

Yet Another Ultralightweight Authentication Protocol That Is Broken

Eghdamian and Samsudin published at ICIEIS 2011 an ultralightweight mutual authentication protocol that requires few bitwise operations. The simplicity of the design makes the protocol very suitable to low-cost RFID tags. However, we demonstrate in this paper that the long-term key shared by the reader and the tag can be recovered by an adversary with a few eavesdropped sessions only.
