In this paper, we close this gap. Our newly proposed protocols are shown to be secure in the malicious model based on a variety of novel non-interactive zero-knowledge-proofs. We describe the implementation of our protocols and evaluate their performance in comparison to protocols solving the problem in the semi-honest case.}, language = {en} } @misc{EickmannEschFunkeetal.2014, author = {Eickmann, Matthias and Esch, Thomas and Funke, Harald and Abanteriba, Sylvester and Roosen, Petra}, title = {Biofuels in Aviation - Safety Implications of Bio-Ethanol Usage in General Aviation Aircraft}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Up in the clouds and above fuels and construction materials must be very carefully selected to ensure a smooth flight and touchdown.

Typically, the workflow is divided into consecutive stages: First, the engineer designs the layout of the system, with the help of his experience or of heuristic methods. Secondly, he finds a control strategy which is often optimized by simulation. This usually results in a good operating of an unquestioned sys- tem topology. In contrast, we apply Operations Research (OR) methods to find a cost-optimal solution for both stages simultaneously via mixed integer program- ming (MILP). Technical Operations Research (TOR) allows one to find a provable global optimal solution within the model formulation. However, the modeling error due to the abstraction of physical reality remains unknown. We address this ubiq- uitous problem of OR methods by comparing our computational results with mea- surements in a test rig. For a practical test case we compute a topology and control strategy via MILP and verify that the objectives are met up to a deviation of 8.7\%.}, language = {en} } @article{HentschkeHagerHojdis2014, author = {Hentschke, Reinhard and Hager, Jonathan and Hojdis, Nils}, title = {Molecular Modeling Approach to the Prediction of Mechanical Properties of Silica-Reinforced Rubbers}, series = {Journal of Applied Polymer Science}, volume = {131}, journal = {Journal of Applied Polymer Science}, number = {18}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {New York, NY}, issn = {1097-4628}, doi = {10.1002/app.40806}, pages = {1 -- 9}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Recently, we have suggested a nanomechanical model for dissipative loss in filled elastomer networks in the context of the Payne effect. The mechanism is based on a total interfiller particle force exhibiting an intermittent loop, due to the combination of short-range repulsion and dispersion forces with a long-range elastic attraction. The sum of these forces leads, under external strain, to a spontaneous instability of "bonds" between the aggregates in a filler network and attendant energy dissipation. Here, we use molecular dynamics simulations to obtain chemically realistic forces between surface modified silica particles. The latter are combined with the above model to estimate the loss modulus and the low strain storage modulus in elastomers containing the aforementioned filler-compatibilizer systems. The model is compared to experimental dynamic moduli of silica filled rubbers. We find good agreement between the model predictions and the experiments as function of the compatibilizer's molecular structure and its bulk concentration.}, language = {en} } @article{AkimbekovDigelOHerasetal.2014, author = {Akimbekov, N.Sh. and Digel, Ilya and O´Heras, C. and Tastambek, K.T. and Savitskaya, I.S. and Ualyeva, P.S. and Mansurov, Z.A. and Zhubanova, A.A.}, title = {Adsorption of bacterial lipopolysaccharides on carbonized rice husks obtained in the batch experiments}, series = {Experimental Biology}, volume = {60}, journal = {Experimental Biology}, number = {1/2}, publisher = {Al-Farabi Kazakh National University}, address = {Almaty}, issn = {1563-0218}, pages = {144 -- 148}, year = {2014}, abstract = {The scope of this study is the measurement of endotoxin adsorption rate for carbonized rice husk.

Drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters play important roles in the absorption, metabolism, tissue distribution and excretion of various compounds and their metabolites and thus can significantly affect their efficacy and safety. Furthermore, they can be involved in drug-drug interactions which can result in adverse responses, life-threatening toxicity or impaired efficacy. Significant species differences in the interaction of compounds with drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters have been described. 2. In order to overcome the limitation of animal models in accurately predicting human responses, a large variety of mouse models humanized for drug metabolizing enzymes and to a lesser extent drug transporters have been created. 3. This review summarizes the literature describing these mouse models and their key applications in studying the role of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters in drug bioavailability, tissue distribution, clearance and drug-drug interactions as well as in human metabolite testing and risk assessment. 4. Though such humanized mouse models have certain limitations, there is great potential for their use in basic research and for testing and development of new medicines. These limitations and future potentials will be discussed.}, language = {en} }
