Stacking Fault Energy (SFE) is an intrinsic alloy property that governs much of the plastic deformation mechanisms observed in fcc alloys. While SFE has been recognized for many years as a key mechanical property, its inference via experimental observations or prediction using, example, computationally intensive first-principles methods challenging. This difficulty precludes explicit use design...

We introduce Free Hash, a new approach to generating Garbled Circuit (GC) hash at no extra cost during GC generation. This is in contrast with state-of-the-art approaches, which hash GCs at computational cost of up to 6× of GC generation. GC hashing is at the core of the cut-and-choose technique of GC-based secure function evaluation (SFE). Our main idea is to intertwine hash generation/verific...

Terpenoids and steroids constitute the largest known group of plant secondary metabolites. The different groups of terpenes are formed from isoprene (C5) units in enzymatic reactions. Head-to-tail condensation of isoprene units results in the formation of monoterpenes (C10), sesquiterpenes (C15), diterpenes (C20), sesterpenes (C25) and polyterpenes. Tail-to-tail coupling of C15 and C20 units le...

Stacking fault energy (SFE) is considered an important parameter to predict the prevalent plastic deformation mechanism in face-centered cubic (fcc) alloys. Experimental methods for determining SFE presuppose that positive. Density functional theory (DFT) a promising tool alloy compositions with low SFEs and desirable mechanical properties. For metastable fcc alloys, DFT predicts negative value...

Excellent work hardening in transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP)-enabled metastable high entropy alloys (HEAs) owe to persistent austenite (γ) martensite (ε) phase transformation; non-basal slip activity and deformation twinning the transformed martensitic are additional mechanisms that contribute selected TRIP HEAs. Mechanical response of HEAs under uniaxial tension is characterized by an ...

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of orotinin, orotinin-5-methyl ether and licoagrochalcone B from Patrinia villosa was performed. The optimization of parameters including pressure, temperature, modifier and sample particle size on yield was carried out using an analytical-scale SFE system. The process was then scaled up by 100 times using a preparative SFE system under the optimized conditi...

The presence of the toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis in the upper San Francisco Estuary (SFE) since 1999 is a potential but to date an unquantified threat to the health and survival of aquatic organisms, such as fish and zooplankton. The microcystins (MCs) predominantly in the LR-form (MC-LR) contained in Microcystis is hepatotoxic and a potential threat to the fishery. This study was conducted...

Preliminary communication The interest in high pressure technology during last decades increased intensively. Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) is a process that is growing in importance as an alternative to conventional separation processes. SFE uses environmentally friendly CO2 as the extracting agent in the process because of its relatively low critical pressure (7,38 MPa), its low critic...

We present aperture synthesis high-resolution (∼ 7×3) observations in CO(J = 1−0) line, HCN(J=1−0) line, and 95 GHz continuum emission toward the central (∼ 1.5 kpc) region of the nearby barred spiral galaxy M 83 with the Nobeyama Millimeter Array. Our high-resolution CO(J = 1−0) mosaic map depicts the presence of molecular ridges along the leading sides of the stellar bar and nuclear twin peak...
