Article Synopsis
  • Recent advancements in quantum computing highlight the vulnerabilities of traditional public cryptosystems, signaling a potential security crisis for asymmetric key encryption due to Shor's algorithm.
  • The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is actively working to develop and standardize post-quantum encryption algorithms that can withstand future quantum computing capabilities.
  • The study reviews two finalist algorithms from the NIST's fourth-round evaluation, analyzing their efficiency in key operations and emphasizing the need for further research on factors like security, performance, and compatibility for successful adoption in real-world applications.

Background: Celiac disease (CD) was considered a rare disease before and was perceivably only limited to children but now affects almost 1-2% of the global population. This abrupt increase in prevalence is due to advancements in diagnostic criteria and medical facilities but still many countries lack the basic data that can assess the severity of this health issue. The present study was conducted with the aim to assess the common but rarely diagnosed condition with the identification of its underlying secondary ailments.

With the growing scarcity of water, the remediation of water polluted with heavy metals is the need of hour. The present research work is aimed to address this problem by adsorbing heavy metals ions (Pb (II) and Cr (VI)) on modified graphene oxide having an excess of carboxylic acid groups. For this, graphene oxide (GO) was modified with chloroacetic acid to produce carboxylated graphene oxide (GO-COOH).

Knee replacement surgery is the most common joint replacement surgery in England and Wales. Postoperative radiographs are associated with long-term outcome at both early and late stages, and their correct interpretation is therefore vital. These radiographs will commonly be assessed by surgical trainees, emergency doctors, orthopaedic surgeons, nurse practitioners, and radiologists.
