premii Ad Astra

Asociația Ad Astra a anunțat câștigătorii Premiilor Ad Astra 2022: http://premii.ad-astra.ro/. Proiectul și-a propus identificarea și popularizarea modelelor de succes, a rezultatelor excepționale ale cercetătorilor români din țară și din afara ei.

Asociatia Ad Astra a cercetatorilor romani lanseaza BAZA DE DATE A CERCETATORILOR ROMANI DIN DIASPORA. Scopul acestei baze de date este aceea de a stimula colaborarea dintre cercetatorii romani de peste hotare dar si cu cercetatorii din Romania. Cercetatorii care doresc sa fie nominalizati in aceasta baza de date sunt rugati sa trimita un email la cristian.presura@gmail.com

On the Development and Formalization of an Extensible Code Generator for Real Life Security Protocols

This paper introduces Expi2Java, a new code generator for cryptographic protocols that translates models written in an extensible variant of the Spi calculus into executable code in a substantial fragment of Java, featuring concurrency, synchronization between threads, exception handling and a sophisticated type system with generics and wildcards. Our code generator is highly extensible and customizable, which allows it to generate interoperable

Automatically Verifying Typing Constraints for a Data Processing Language

In this paper we present a new technique for automatically verifying typing constraints in the setting of Dminor, a first-order data processing language with refinement types and dynamic type-tests. We achieve this by translating Dminor programs into a standard while language and then using a general-purpose verification tool. Our translation generates assertions in the while program that faithfully represent the sophisticated typing constraints

Union and Intersection Types for Secure Protocol Implementations

We present a new type system for verifying the security of cryptographic protocol implementations. The type system combines prior work on refinement types, with union, intersection, and polymorphic types, and with the novel ability to reason statically about the disjointness of types. The increased expressivity enables the analysis of important protocol classes that were previously out of scope for the type-based analyses of protocol implementations.

Functional inequalities for modified Bessel functions

In this paper, our aim is to show some mean value inequalities for the modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind. Our proofs are based on some bounds for the logarithmic derivatives of these functions, which are in fact equivalent to the corresponding Turán-type inequalities for these functions. As an application of the results concerning the modified Bessel function of the second kind, we prove that the cumulative distribution function

Current trends and future developments in occupational health and safety risk management

Occupational safety and health (OSH) like all facets of business, needs to be properly managed. A company’s occupational health and safety management system helps ensure effective control of OSH risks and continual improvement in performance. The basic aim is to prevent work-related illness or injury. On the other hand, companies, managers and workforces change. Regulators, unions and contractors change. The change is slow and often difficult to

The DNA damage checkpoint protein ATM promotes hepatocellular apoptosis and fibrosis in a mouse model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Steatoapoptosis is a hallmark of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and is an important factor in liver disease progression. We hypothesized that increased reactive oxygen species resulting from excess dietary fat contribute to liver disease by causing DNA damage and apoptotic cell death, and tested this by investigating the effects of feeding mice high fat or standard diets for 8 weeks. High fat diet feeding resulted in increased hepatic

A Unique Role for ITK in Survival of Invariant NKT Cells Associated with the p53-Dependent Pathway in Mice

Invariant NKT (iNKT) cells play important roles in the immune response. ITK and TXK/RLK are Tec family kinases that are expressed in iNKT cells; the expression level of ITK is ∼7-fold higher than that of TXK. Itk−/− mice have reduced iNKT cell frequency and numbers, with defects in development and cytokine secretion that are exacerbated in Itk/Txk double-knockout mice. In contrast, there is no iNKT cell defect in Txk−/− mice. To determine
