The document discusses various mathematical curiosities and problems, including circle division by lines producing patterns of numbers, Euler's formula relating vertices, edges and faces of polyhedra, the increasing difficulty of brute-force searching as the number of bits increases, the unsolved Collatz conjecture about a sequence related to dividing odd numbers by 3 and even numbers by 2, and Tupper's self-referential formula producing a pattern when graphed.
DES irrespective of its small key size, it has been considered to be strong design cipher till today. Designers of DES guaranteed a security margin of 2 power 56. If any attack which is essentially better than 2 power 56 search then that considered to be attack. To crack DES attackers need to spend $ 220000 so that the key can be revealed in 56 hours. But for digital transactions if the key can expire for less than 5 minutes it’s difficult to crack. If this is the case with DES then it will be much more difficult to break Triple DES, which uses 112 bits of key size. The problem with Triple DES is having more rounds, which takes more processing time and space. Not only cryptography, even Light Weight Cryptography needs low processing time and space. Hence a new algorithm named ternary DES is proposed which requires only 56-bit key and 16 rounds. Ternary DES has the advantage of DES with the same key space and number of rounds, and advantage of Triple DES with difficult to break. To propose new algorithms for solving security issues many constraints we need to take into account. With one algorithm we can solve one or a few issues but not all.

The two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (DWT) can be applied in the heart of many image-processing algorithms.
Until recently, several studies have compared the performance of such transform on parallel architectures, for example, on graphics
processing units (GPUs). All these studies however considered only separable calculation schedules.
Lifting Scheme Cores for Wavelet TransformDavid Bařina
The thesis focuses on efficient computation of the two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform. The state-of-the-art methods are extended in several ways to perform the transform in a single loop, possibly in multi-scale fashion, using a compact streaming core. This core can further be appropriately reorganized to target the minimization of certain platform resources. The approach presented here nicely fits into common SIMD extensions, exploits the cache hierarchy of modern general-purpose processors, and is suitable for parallel evaluation. Finally, the approach presented is incorporated into the JPEG 2000 compression chain, in which it has proved to be fundamentally faster than widely used implementations.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
