We consider the interplay of duality symmetries and gauged isometries of supergravity models giving N -extended, spontaneously broken supergravity with a no-scale structure. Some examples motivated by superstring and M-theory compactifications are described. Invited paper to appear in the review section of the “International Journal of Modern Physics A”.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Genetic risk factors are considered important in the development, growth, and rupture of intracranial aneurysms; however, few have been identified. We analyzed intracranial aneurysm families with at least 2 affected persons and determined relationships between affected persons and assessed the inheritance patterns of aneurysms. METHODS Families with > or =2 members with...

BACKGROUND The modified nasal trumpet (MNT) is a prepackaged nasopharyngeal airway modified with distal holes and fitted with a 15 mm adaptor allowing connection to an anaesthesia circuit. It may be useful for airway management during anaesthesia. METHODS After applying a spray to constrict the nasal mucosa, we used the MNT in 346 spontaneously breathing patients for three indications: alone ...

In this paper, the security of Advanced Encryption Standard-based authenticated encryption schemes, including AEGIS family, Tiaoxin-346, and Rocca by mixed integer linear programming tools is examined. Specifically, for initialisation phase AEGIS, Rocca, against differential attacks integral evaluated estimating lower bounds number active S-boxes utilising division property, respectively. addit...

Classical swine fever (CSF) is a severe hemorrhagic disease of swine caused by the pestivirus CSF virus (CSFV). Amino acid exchanges or deletions introduced by site-directed mutagenesis into the putative active site of the RNase residing in the glycoprotein E(rns) of CSFV abolished the enzymatic activity of this protein, as demonstrated with an RNase test suitable for detection of the enzymatic...
