Zero-dimensional metal halide perovskites have captured intense research interest owing to their unique optoelectronic properties. Particularly, halides with the ns2 electronic configuration are of great high-temperature sensitivity photoluminescence, which could be applied remote optical thermometry (ROT). Herein, all-inorganic and lead-free perovskite Te4+-doped Cs2InCl5·H2O single crystals (...

This paper describes the results of an extensive study and comparison of popular hash functions SHA-1, SHA-256, RIPEMD-160 and RIPEMD-320 with JERIM-320, a 320-bit hash function. The compression functions of hash functions like SHA-1 and SHA-256 are designed using serial successive iteration whereas those like RIPEMD-160 and RIPEMD-320 are designed using two parallel lines of message processing...

The best entertainment for the younger generation now is given in the form of Social Networking sites. The Online Social Networks (OSN) mainly helps an individual to connect with their friends, family and the society online in order to gather and share new experiences with others. Nowa-days, the OSNs are facing the problem of the people posting the indecent messages on any individual's wall whi...

We present a brief report on the factorization of RSA-180, currently smallest unfactored RSA number. We show that the numbers of similar size could be factored in a reasonable time at home using open source factoring software running on a few Intel Core i7 PCs.

The 180 models collected in this paper are produced by sampling and wrapping point sets on tubes. The surfaces are represented as triangulated 2-manifolds and available as stlfiles from the author’s web site at www.cs.duke.edu/ edels. Each tube is obtained by thickening a circle or a smooth torus knot, and for some we use the degrees of freedom in the thickening process to encode meaningful inf...

In applications of NMR in inhomogeneous fields, sequences based on the Carr-PurcellMeiboom-Gill (CPMG) sequence play a central role. The standard CPMG sequence consists of an initial 90° excitation pulse, followed by a long string of 180° refocusing pulses. This creates a series of echoes that decay with characteristic relaxation time T2eff. Here we present a modified sequence, the Split-180° s...

Laninamivir octanoate (LO) (Inavir; Daiichi Sankyo, Japan) is an ester prodrug of the neuraminidase inhibitor laninamivir. We previously reported that a prolonged high retention of laninamivir in mouse respiratory tissues was achieved by intranasal administration of LO. In this study, we evaluated intrapulmonary pharmacokinetics both in vivo and in vitro to investigate the potential mechanism i...

E-, P-, and L-selectin support the adhesion of leukocytes to the vessel wall through the recognition of specific carbohydrate ligands, which often contain sialylated, fucosylated lactosamines such as sialyl Lewis x [sLex; Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4(Fuc alpha 1-3)GlcNAc-]. E-selectin expressed by activated endothelium has been shown to support the adhesion of sLex-bearing colon cancer cells. I...
