Dynamics Data Encryption Based on Chaotic Functions and Elliptic Curves: Application to Text Data by Joel Kinganga, Nathanael Kasoro, Alain Musesa

“…Methods: The proposed system utilizes elliptic curve points and pseudo-random numbers generated from a hybrid chaotic map (a fusion of the logistic map, sine map, and piecewise linear chaotic map) to derive short key sizes. Various analyses, including frequency histograms, correlation coefficients, and key sensitivity tests, are conducted to demonstrate the system’s robustness and reliability. …”

A cross-entropy corrected hybrid multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory for complex molecular systems by Rulin Feng, Igor Ying Zhang, Xin Xu

“…Abstract Hybrid density functionals, such as B3LYP and PBE0, have achieved remarkable success by substantially improving over their parent methods, namely Hartree-Fock and the generalized gradient approximation, and generally outperforming the second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) that is more expensive. Here, we extend the linear scheme of hybrid multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory (HMC-PDFT) by incorporating a cross-entropy ingredient to balance the description of static and dynamic correlation effects, leading to a consistent improvement on both exchange and correlation energies. …”

Sex differences in the associations of dietary protein intake with lean mass and grip strength in children and adolescents by Yanfei Wang, Dan Sun, Zhongxin Zhu

“…Appendicular lean mass index (ALMI) and combined grip strength were measured as indicators of musculoskeletal health. Multivariate linear regression models and smooth curve fitting techniques were employed to analyze associations.Results Higher protein intake was positively associated with both ALMI (β = 0.003, 95% CI: 0.002, 0.004, p < 0.001) and combined grip strength (β = 0.043, 95% CI: 0.027, 0.058, p < 0.001) in fully adjusted models. …”
