Revisiting the Feasibility of Public Key Cryptography in Light of IIoT Communications
(MDPI, 2022-03-27)Digital certificates are regarded as the most secure and scalable way of implementing authentication services in the Internet today. They are used by most popular security protocols, including Transport Layer Security (TLS) ... -
Rigidochromism by imide functionalisation of an aminomaleimide fluorophore
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2021-08-21)Fluorescent dyes that exhibit high solid state quantum yields and sensitivity to the mechanical properties of their local environment are useful for a wide variety of applications, but are limited in chemical diversity. ... -
Risk and Protective Factors for Bullying at 11 Years of Age in a Spanish Birth Cohort Study
(MDPI, 2020-06-19)(1) Background: Bullying affects a large number of children worldwide. This study has two objectives, to provide data on the prevalence of bullying in Spain, and to identify risk and protective factors associated with ... -
Risk blindness in local perspectives about the Alberta oil sands hinders Canada's decarbonization
(Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions, 2021-09-01)Local perspectives can conflict with national and international climate targets. This study explores three stakeholder (community, provincial, and federal) perspectives on the Alberta oil sands as risks for a sustainability ... -
Risk measures and the distribution of damage curves for 600 European coastal cities
(IOP Publishing, 2019)A good understanding of climate change damages is vital to design effective adaptation policies and measures. Using a dataset of probabilistic sea-level rise and other of flood damages and protection cost curves for the ... -
Risk of Child Poverty and Social Exclusion in two Spanish Regions: Social and Family Determinants
(Elsevier, 2021-06)Objective: Describe the risk of poverty and social exclusion in children aged 8-11 years from Gipuzkoa and Valencia (Spain), through AROPE (At Risk Of Poverty or Social Exclusion) indicators, and evaluate their associated ... -
Role of Furin in Colon Cancer Stem Cells Malignant Phenotype and Expression of LGR5 and NANOG in KRAS and BRAF-Mutated Colon Tumors
(MDPI, 2022-02-25)Proprotein convertases or PCs are known to regulate the malignant phenotype of colon cancer cells by different mechanisms, but their effects on cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been less widely investigated. Here, we report ... -
