title: Shuraba

text:
, also known by its English title "The Rat's-Nest" is the third single by the Japanese rock band Tokyo Jihen, led by musician Ringo Sheena, released on November 2, 2005. It was the band's first release with their new members Ukigumo and Ichiyo Izawa, who replaced Mikio Hirama and Masayuki Hiizumi. The song was used as the theme song for the historical drama Ōoku: Hana no Ran.

Background and development
Tokyo Jihen was first formed in 2003, after Ringo Sheena decided on members for her backing band for her Sugoroku Ecstasy tour. The band was officially announced as Sheena's main musical unit on May 31, 2004, and first performed at a series of summer music festivals in July and September. The group released two singles in September and October 2004, "Gunjō Biyori" and "Sōnan", both of which were certified gold by the RIAJ. This was followed by their debut album Kyōiku in November 2004, and a Japan-wide tour entitled Dynamite, a 14 date tour stopping in Matsuyama, Ehime, Hiroshima, Kanazawa, Ishikawa, Kyoto, Sapporo, Sendai, Osaka, Fukuoka, Nagoya and Tokyo.

After the Dynamite tour, two of the original members of the band made decisions to leave. Hiizumi left to focus on his activities with jazz ensemble Pe'z, while Hirama left to focus on his activities as a solo musician. Sheena sought new members to replace Hiizumi and Hirama. She had known pianist Ichiyo Izawa since attending a solo concert of his in early 2004, though the pair had not talked together often since meeting. She wanted Izawa to join the band for both his piano and songwriting abilities. Sheena contacted Izawa on February 17, 2005, a day after the final date of the Dynamite tour, however Izawa finally agreed in late April. Sheena met Ukigumo through her brother Junpei Shiina, and the pair first collaborated in 2002 as a part of Yokoshima, a band formed to cover the Toto song "Georgy Porgy". Ukigumo collaborated with Sheena during the sessions for her album Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana (2003) and Tokyo Jihen's debut album Kyōiku (2004), in which he played the guitars for Sheena's original demos. Sheena liked Ukigumo's guitar playing so much that she left it in for the studio versions of "Meisai" and "Ishiki", and collaborated on the bonus track "Ichijiku no Hana", which was written by him. Ukigumo did not want to join the band at first, however the band found that Ukigumo was the best fitting of all the potential guitarists. He agreed two to three days before Adults recording sessions began in July 2005. Hiizumi and Hirama's leaving was officially announced on July 1, 2005.  Two months later, the "Shuraba" single was announced, and on September 16, 2005, the two new band members, Ichiyo Izawa and Ukigumo were announced officially.

Writing and production

The single is composed of two original songs written by Sheena, plus a cover of American singer Ned Doheny's song "Get It Up for Love" from his 1976 album Hard Candy. The single was mostly arranged by Izawa, created from scratch after listening to Sheena's demos of the songs. Working with Izawa and Ukigumo was the first time in Sheena's career where she clashed on opinions for what was best musically for the songs. Izawa felt that "Shuraba" needed a classical guitar, however Sheena did not want instruments with a lot of reverberation, preferred Ukigumo's original guitar accompaniment from the demo. They compromised by Sheena purchasing a classical guitar especially for the single, and asked Ukigumo to perform with it.

"Shuraba" was the last song recorded during the sessions for Adult. Sheena had wanted to use the single since creating the demo. She wrote the lyrics after watching previous seasons of Ōoku, and was inspired by its depiction of women. For the B-side "Koi wa Maboroshi (Get It Up for Love)", Sheena asked Ukigumo to perform the guitar in the style of Southern All Stars' 1983 song "Sonna Hiroshi ni Damasare". The remaining B-side, "Rakujtsu", dealt with more personal themes than "Shuraba". It was meant to be the final song on Adult, however Sheena felt that Izawa's composition "Tegami" suited it much better, after getting used to his style. The original demo was guitar-backed, however the band felt that Izawa's piano accompaniment suited the song better.

A different version of the song appears on the album, entitled "Shuraba (Adult Ver.)", featuring a different arrangement.

Promotion and release

As the theme song of Ōoku: Hana no Ran, "Shuraba" was played during the drama's credits, as well as during promotional commercials for the drama. Tokyo Jihen performed the song at Music Station twice. First on November 4, 2005, and the second time on December 23, 2005 for their Christmas special broadcast. The band also performed the song on Count Down TV on November 12, and made extensive appearances on radio shows between October 26 and November 14.

The song was performed during the band's Domestic! Virgin Line (2006), Domestic! Just Can't Help It. (2006), Spa & Treatment (2007), Ultra C (2010) and Bon Voyage (2012) tours. It was also performed at the Dai Ikkai Ringohan Taikai events in December 2005, however not released on the DVD. The B-sides were both performed during the 2005 Ringo-han events, with "Rakujitsu" being the only Tokyo Jihen performance featured on the DVD. Both songs were performed during  Domestic! Virgin Line, with "Rakujitsu" also performed at Domestic! Just Can't Help It..

Music video

A music video was first unveiled on October 12, 2005, and was directed by Shuichi Banba. The video features the band performing the song in an entirely white set, with all the band members wearing exclusively white clothing. During the video, red droplets begin to stain the white set. The final scene features a high-heeled shoe filling up with red. The video was nominated for the Best Group Video award at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards Japan, however lost to reggae group Def Tech's "Konomama".

In March 2006, a video was released for the song's B-side "Koi wa Maboroshi (Get It Up for Love)", much like how videos were created for past singles' B-sides. This was an edited version of the song entitled "Koi wa Maboroshi for Musician".

Critical reception
The Listenmusic reviewer Yoshiki Aoyuki called the song a masterpiece, praising the "varied rhythm changing into a fat hip-hop beat" caused by the mix of processed and live drums, Kameda's bass guitar work and the "stylish keyboards and classical guitar". He felt the new members acted like a "chemical reaction" on the band's music. CDJournal reviewers called it "a funky pop song that fully realises [Sheena's] unwavering nature as a melody maker". They felt the version that appeared on Adult was more refined than the "hard" rock flavour of the single version. They praised the "solid rhythm and eccentric guitar".

Bernd Michael Rode (July 14, 1946  –  August 28, 2022) was an Austrian professor of chemistry at the University of Innsbruck and founder of the Austrian-South-East-Asian Academic University Network (ASEA-UNINET). Prof. Rode retired in 2011 but remained actively involved in teaching and research as well as in the thesis supervision.

Biography

In 1964 Bernd Michael Rode graduated from high school (“Akademisches Gymnasium Innsbruck”) and commenced studies in chemistry at the University of Innsbruck. In 1973 he received his Ph.D. degree in chemistry with sub auspiciis praesidentis from the University of Innsbruck.

In 1973 Prof. Rode started his career as an assistant professor at the Institute of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry of the University of Innsbruck. After research stays in Germany (University of Stuttgart and University of Karlsruhe) he became an associate professor in Innsbruck in the year 1976. After spending a 1-year research stay at the University of Tokyo, Prof. Rode started his professorship at the Institute of Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Innsbruck. From 2006 to 2011 he was head of the Department of Theoretical Chemistry and head of the Institute for General Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry.

One of Prof. Rode’s largest achievements was the foundation of the University Network ASEA-UNINET (Austrian South East Asian University Partnership Network) in 1994. The foundations for this network were laid by informal contacts between the University of Innsbruck and Thai Universities that date back to the 1970s. In the 1980s partnerships between the University of Innsbruck, the University of Vienna, the University of Agricultural Sciences Vienna, the Chulalongkorn University, the Mahidol University, the Kasetsart University and the Chiang Mai University were concluded. With the target to unify these bilateral partnership agreements into one multilateral network, Prof. Rode invited interested Universities from Austria, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam to participate in the first ASEA-UNINET Plenary Meeting in Ho Chi Minh City. In 1994 the network comprised 25 Universities from Austria, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam. As of June 2014, more than 70 Universities from 16 European and South-East-Asian countries participate in the network.

In addition to his scientific and networking activities, Prof. Rode served during the periods 1998–2001 and 2005–2008 as vice-president in the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development (UNCSTD)  representing the WEOG states EU, USA, Canada and Australia. In 2004 he became the first Ausrian, to serve as president in the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development.

Awards and decorations

For his commitment in Asian countries Prof. Rode has received many awards, amongst others the Honorary Doctorate Degree in Sciences of the Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok (1995), the Honorary Doctorate Degree in Sciences of the King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology, Ladkrabang, Bangkok (1998) and the Honorary Doctorate Degree in Sciences of the Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta, Indonesia (2000). In 2007 the King of Thailand, awarded Prof. Rode with the Knight Grand Cross (First Class), the Most Noble Order of the Crown of Thailand, for his activities and achievements to intensify the European-Asian scientific collaborations. In 2008 the Comenius University Bratislava awarded him an Honorary Doctorate Degree for his pioneer work in quantum chemistry studies of molecule and super molecule systems of ion solvation and molecular modelling of biomolecules and medicaments. In 2014 he was appointed Honorary President of ASEA-UNINET.

According to the Theoretical Chemistry Genealogy Project, Bernd Michael Rode is the most successful doctoral thesis supervisor of German-speaking countries in the field of Theoretical Chemistry. Between 1976 and 2011 Prof. Rode has led not less than 70 students to their Ph.D. degree. Due to his close contacts to South-East-Asia many of them come from Asian countries.

Research activities
Bernd M. Rode’s scientific achievements are reflected in seven monographies / books, more than 440 publications in international research journals and 30 book contributions. According to ISI Thomson's Web of Science citation report these contributions received more than 8300 citations (as of May 2014) with a Hirsch-index of 41.

Prof. Rode's research focus lies in Theoretical and Computational as well as Bioinorganic Chemistry. In detail his publications emphasise on the following aspects:
 Quantum chemical calculations of molecular and supermolecular systems,
 Ab initio Monte Carlo and MD simulations of liquids / solutions,
 Electrolyte solution structure,
 Ultrafast Dynamics of solutes,
 Molecular Modelling of biomolecules and drugs,
 QSAR / QSPR,
 Chemical Evolution of Peptides/ Proteins and Origin of Life

Theoretical chemistry

Although Prof. Rode's initial research activities were in field of inorganic chemistry, he soon extended his expertise into the rapidly developing field of theoretical and computational chemistry. Whereas in the beginning most studies focused on quantum chemical computations of a broad range of chemical systems, later application focused on the application of chemical simulation techniques such as Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics, mostly in the context of solution chemistry.

A particular notable contribution of Prof. Rode's research is the development and application of hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical simulation techniques, focusing on a broad range of problems in solution chemistry. In 2004 an improved technique known as quantum mechanical charge field molecular dynamics explicitly aimed at the treatment of solvated systems has been developed in Prof. Rode's research group. During the last years the application of this technique enabled accurate simulations of ionic compounds and organic species as well as coordination complexes in aqueous solution. His most recent research is focussed on the lanthanoid ions in aqueous solution.

Chemical evolution

Prof. Rode's second main field of research lies in the area of bioinorganic chemistry, in particular
abiogenesis. At the end of the 1980s Prof. Rode and his coworkers discovered the salt induced peptide formation reaction as a simple route to synthesis peptides from amino acid monomers under prebiotic conditions. Instead of enzymes transition metals act as catalyst to induce peptide formation in highly concentrated aqueous NaCl solution, with copper (II) showing the highest catalytic activity. Typically, evaporation cycle experiments have been carried out to mimic day/night cycles on shore and in lagoons, thereby generating supersaturated solutions. Since such solutions have a tendency to dilute themselves, the thermodynamic and kinetic unfavourable peptide formation reaction is promoted. The research conducted by Prof. Rode investigates the properties of the salt induced peptide formation reaction under various conditions, highlighting also its possible connection to biohomochirality. Furthermore, Prof. Rode also carried out Miller-Urey experiments, taking new insights of the composition of the primordial atmosphere into account. It was shown that peptides may also form in a neutral atmosphere (CO2/N2/H2O) subject to electric discharges.

Molvision®

Together with his Ph.D. student Hung Tung Tran Prof. Rode developed the practical and flexible visualization software Molvision® capable of interactively analyzing dynamic simulation data. In 2003 Dr. Tran was awarded with a European Innovation Award for the development of this program.

title: Žanil Tataj - Žak

text:
Žanil Tataj - Žak (born 2 May 1967), is a Croatian musician, singer, composer and producer.

Early life
Žak was born in Rijeka, Croatia. He graduated from Music high school in Rijeka, finishing the course of violin and viola. In addition to that he is also a multi-instrumentalist. Žak has learned vocal technics from his mother Petja Todorova - Tataj, famous piano player and vocal educationalist.

Career
Žak has started his rich music career in mid 80's in famous Rijeka's band Jersey. They've recorded their first album, Pustite Da Živim, for Yugoslav discography label Jugoton. They had numerous concerts all around Yugoslavia, and have received many different awards from various rock festivals. Between 1988 and 1991 he played a viola in opera orchestre of HNK Ivan Zajc.

In the beginning of the 1990s Jersey had stopped performing, because Žak was, known for his great vocal abilities, invited to perform with legendary rock band Divlje Jagode (Wild Strawberries). They've recorded album Magic Love, which was, because of intention of being published on the European market, sung in English. Because of the war in Yugoslavia, Divlje Jagode stopped performing and therefore Žak has started working with the Slovenian band Mary Rose. They've recorded album called Pleasure & Pain, but because of the fire blast in studio Tivoli, the album never saw the light of the day. Mary Rose then stopped performing for some years.  In the beginning of 1994, Žak has contributed on the joint project of the famous European rock bands Helloween and Gamma Ray. He also worked with Zoran Šerbedžija, ex-guitarist of  Crvena Jabuka on the project "Madcap Laf" in Germany.

In 1995 and 1996 he worked as an instrumentalist and vocalist on two albums of Slovenian band Turbo, called The Power Of Metal and A Glimpse Of Home.  In the second half of 1995 he founded a band in Croatia called Aqua, with whom he recorded a self-titled album.  He returned to Divlje Jagode with the concert Final top 1000 in Stuttgart. This concert was broadcast by SDR 3, MTV and other European TV and radio stations. With Divlje Jagode he recorded an album Sto Vjekova and successfully performed all over Europe until 1999.  In 1999 he recorded his first solo album and with few songs performed on  festivals like Neumski and Splitski.  At the end of 1999 he published his symphonic album, titled Božićne Pjesme(Christmas Songs).

In the beginning of 2000 he started performing with two Slovenian cover bands, Črna Gradnja and Ambasada.  Due to the urge for making original authors music, he and guitarist Eki Alilovski refounded Mary Rose in 2004. As the result of this work, they have released a new album titled Feniks, in 2006.  In 2006, he also founded a jazzy band Norne with famous Rijeka's vocalist, where Žak is playing a bass guitar. This band performs various songs in various languages and is getting ready for concerts and possible album.

In 2013 he joined Slovenian heavy metal band Black Diamond, after the release of their first album Last Man Standing, on which he sang most of the songs.  At the moment he is also working as a vocal coach in music school Studio Maraton.

In 2019 Žak founded a new band which performs under his name Žanil Tataj - Žak. In 2019 they've released singles Prosule se divlje jagode and [ Tišina]

2019 is also a year when Mary Rose, after years of health difficulties of some of their members, finally released new album Resničen Svet. Album was released on May 17, followed by a spectalural promotional concert in Postojna, Slovenia. This concert is hoped and expected to be an announcement of great come back of one of Slovenia's most legendary bands.

title: Frankish Tower (Acropolis of Athens)

text:
The Frankish Tower () was a medieval tower built on the Acropolis of Athens. The date and circumstances of its construction are unclear, but it was probably built as part of the palace of the Dukes of Athens, who ruled Athens between 1205 and 1458 during what was known as the Frankokratia.

The tower was on the western side of the Acropolis, near the monumental gateway known as the Propylaia. Throughout its history, the tower was used as a watchtower, a beacon, a salt-store and a prison. During the Greek War of Independence, the height of the tower was increased, and it was used to imprison the revolutionary Odysseas Androutsos, who was killed there in 1825.

The tower's presence on the Acropolis was controversial, particularly after 1834, when the government of King Otto of Greece undertook to clear the site of its post-classical remains. While the tower was initially exempted from this project for its perceived aesthetic value, as well as its symbolic role in connecting western Europe and classical Greek culture, it was seen as a foreign imposition upon the Acropolis by many in Greece, particularly archaeological figures such as Kyriakos Pittakis and Lysandros Kaftanzoglou. In 1875, with funding from the German businessman Heinrich Schliemann, the tower was demolished, to widespread criticism outside Greece.

Name
The name Frankish Tower reflects the presumed association between the tower and the medieval Frankish rulers who held power in Athens between 1205 and 1458. It has also been known as the "Venetian Tower", reflecting an erroneous belief that it was constructed during the Venetian occupation of Athens in 1687–1688.

Under Ottoman rule, the tower came to be known as  or  (), from the Turkish kule, meaning 'tower'. In the seventeenth century, the French doctor and archaeologist Jacob Spon recorded that the tower was popularly known as the "Arsenal of Lycurgus" and falsely believed to date to the fourth century BCE. After 1825, the tower was sometimes known as "Odysseus's Tower", after the Greek revolutionary Odysseas (Odysseus) Androutsos, who was imprisoned there in 1825. It is also occasionally referred to as the "Tuscan Tower".

Location and appearance
The tower was situated on the western corner of the Acropolis of Athens, next to the Propylaia. There was probably no access between the two buildings, as paintings and photographs from the nineteenth century show the tower's entrance above ground, on the second floor of the eastern face, some  above the architrave of the Propylaea. Literary sources attest that the door was accessible by means of an external wooden staircase. Some photographs also show a ground entrance on the western side, which means that the lower portion of the tower was probably separate from the upper floors, and used as a prison or storage room.

The tower was built of stone from the quarries of Penteli and Piraeus, making heavy use of material from the ancient buildings of the Acropolis. It was square in shape,  long and  wide, and its walls had a thickness of  at their base. With a height of , its top, accessible through a wooden staircase, held a commanding view over the central plain of Attica and the surrounding mountains. The north side of the tower had a small, square turret that projected from the wall, atop which "beacon-fires could be kindled which would be visible from Acrocorinth" in the Peloponnese. During the Ottoman period, this turret hosted two small cannons which could be used to signal an alarm. Sketches from the late seventeenth century on also show that the tower was once crenellated.

History

The date of construction is unclear, and following its demolition now impossible to reconstruct with any certainty. Construction is usually ascribed to the Acciaioli family, who ruled the Duchy of Athens between 1388 and its fall to the Ottoman Empire in 1458, since it was they who converted the Propylaea complex into a palace. However, according to medievalist Peter Lock, the tower "might equally be ascribed" to the first dynasty of Frankish dukes of Athens, the 13th-century de la Roche, who also had a residence on the site, of which no details are known. In the nineteenth century, the classicist John Pentland Mahaffy unsuccessfully tried to argue that the tower dated to the occupation of Athens by the Venetian commander Francesco Morosini between 1687 and 1688; his theory was disproven by the existence of engravings from the occupation, which showed that the tower predated it.

The tower may be the inspiration for the "grete tour" in the palace of the Duke of Athens, where Palamon is imprisoned in Chaucer's The Knight's Tale. Under Ottoman rule, the tower was used as a salt store and a prison. When the Greek War of Independence broke out in 1821, twelve Athenian notables were imprisoned here by the Ottoman authorities as hostages, of whom nine were executed during the 1821–1822 siege of the Acropolis by the Greek rebels and three managed to escape. The tower was heightened between 1821 and 1826 to provide greater visibility to those using it as an observation post. In 1825, following his capture by the Greeks after his defection to the Ottomans, Odysseas Androutsos was imprisoned at the tower, tortured and killed. His body was found at the foot of the tower on . Observers reported seeing a rope hanging down from the tower's window, supposedly used by Androutsos during a failed escape attempt, until 1840. By the 1870s, the tower was home to hundreds of owls.

Demolition

Background
After the Greek War of Independence, arguments for the tower's demolition came from archaeologists, who believed that the spolia used in the tower's construction might include valuable inscriptions, and from those who saw it as an intrusion on the earlier Greek remains of the Acropolis. In July 1834, the German architect Leo von Klenze arrived in Athens to advise the Greek king Otto on the development of the city. At Klenze's instigation, the Acropolis was demilitarised and designated an archaeological site on . Klenze, despite his general determination to remove post-classical remains from the Acropolis, favoured the preservation of the medieval structures near the Propylaia for what he considered their "picturesque" appeal, a view shared by the regent Carl Wilhelm von Heideck. The proposal to remove the tower was also opposed in France, where it was seen as a source of pride through its perceived association with Frankish crusaders, and as a symbol of the continuity between ancient Greek and modern French culture. Other critics of the plan to remove the tower, such as the traveller and novelist Elliot Warburton, considered that the tower had aesthetic value and had become part of the well-known skyline of the Acropolis.

The archaeologist Kyriakos Pittakis was an early advocate of demolition, while foreign visitors labelled the tower a "barbarous sentinel" and complained that it interrupted the view of the Parthenon. In the Greek press, the architect and academic Lysandros Kaftanzoglou compared the tower, which he considered of Turkish origin and called "barbarian", with "the droppings of birds of prey". Kaftanzoglou's later work repairing some of the Acropolis's retaining walls, in which he boasted that "no deviation from the ancient line was effected nor use of alien material", has been described as a manifestation of the classicising ideology behind the demolition of the Frankish Tower, and much of the subsequent restoration work on the Acropolis throughout the nineteenth century.

Removal of the tower
In the summer of 1874, the German archaeologist and businessman Heinrich Schliemann visited Athens. He had been trying for a number of years to secure a permit to excavate in Greece, first unsuccessfully petitioning for the site of Olympia and later for that of Mycenae. On , he proposed to the General Ephorate of Antiquities that he fund the demolition of the Frankish Tower, which he considered would cost him 12,000 francs: he explained this decision as a "service to science", though it has also been characterised as an attempt to ingratiate himself with the Greek authorities and expedite his requests for an archaeological permit. He believed that the demolition would be popular, remarking that "everyone in [Athens] was delighted" with the prospect, except for the thousands of owls that lived in the tower. Schliemann was also granted the right to publish any inscriptions found during the demolition, though none eventually materialised.

Schliemann proposed that the work would be carried out by the Archaeological Society of Athens and directed by the sculptor Napoleone Martinelli, one of its members. Panagiotis Efstratiadis, a prominent member of the society and the head of the Greek Archaeological Service, obtained ministerial approval for the request, and oversaw Schliemann's payment of an initial 4,000 drachmas to Martinelli on  to cement the deal. However, the operation's beginning was delayed by the intervention of King George I and by the reluctance of Greek government ministers to give final permission. Schliemann presented a further 9,000 drachmas to the Archaeological Society, whose committee subsequently voted in favour of the demolition – despite the objection of the society's president, Filippos Ioannou, that destroying the tower would reinforce foreign complaints that Greece had shown insufficient care for its medieval monuments – on .

Work began on , amid great publicity organised by Schliemann, but a few days later the demolition was halted by order of King George, prompting Schliemann to write him an indignant letter of protest. In September, the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Public Education, which directed the Archaeological Service, declared that the demolition should be delayed, on the grounds that the time was not right for it. The operation finally resumed on  and was completed on . The archaeological historian Fani Mallouchou-Tufano has suggested that the Great Eastern Crisis of 1875, in which nationalist rebellions had arisen in parts of the Balkans still under Ottoman rule, played a role in encouraging Greeks to see the removal of the post-classical structure as a means of reinforcing their "national confidence and certainty." The demolition eventually cost Schliemann £465 (equivalent to £ in 2019), and was the last removal to date of a building from the Acropolis.

Reaction
The demolition drew considerable criticism at the time; the French poet Théophile Gautier called the tower an "integral part of the Athenian horizon". The British historian Edward Augustus Freeman wrote an anonymous article on , later published under his name in the Trieste-based Greek newspaper , which condemned the demolition as "paltry" and as "wanton destruction". The historian of Frankish Greece, William Miller, later called it "an act of vandalism unworthy of any people imbued with a sense of the continuity of history" and "pedantic barbarism". Kaftantzoglou and his colleague Stefanos Koumanoudis, however, writing on behalf of the Archaeological Society of Athens, defended the demolition as "the restoration of the Greek character of the shining face of the Acropolis, pure and unsullied by anything foreign".

title: Time/memory/data tradeoff attack

text:
A time/memory/data tradeoff attack is a type of cryptographic attack where an attacker tries to achieve a situation similar to the space–time tradeoff but with the additional parameter of data, representing the amount of data available to the attacker. An attacker balances or reduces one or two of those parameters in favor of the other one or two. This type of attack is very difficult, so most of the ciphers and encryption schemes in use were not designed to resist it.

History

Tradeoff attacks on symmetric cryptosystems date back to 1980, when Martin Hellman suggested a time/memory tradeoff method to break block ciphers with  possible keys in time  and memory  related by the tradeoff curve  where . Later, in 1995, Babbage and Golic devised a different tradeoff attack for stream ciphers with a new bound such that  for  where  is the output data available to the cryptanalyst at real time.

Attack mechanics

This attack is a special version of the general cryptanalytic time/memory tradeoff attack, which has two main phases:
 Preprocessing:  During this phase, the attacker explores the structure of the cryptosystem and is allowed to record their findings in large tables. This can take a long time.
 Realtime:  In this phase, the cryptanalyst is granted real data obtained from a specific unknown key. They then try to use this data with the precomputed table from the preprocessing phase to find the particular key in as little time as possible.

Any time/memory/data tradeoff attack has the following parameters:
 search space size
 time required for the preprocessing phase
 time required for the realtime phase
 amount of memory available to the attacker
 amount of realtime data available to the attacker

Hellman's attack on block ciphers

For block ciphers, let  be the total number of possible keys and also assume the number of possible plaintexts and ciphertexts to be . Also let the given data be a single ciphertext block of a specific plaintext counterpart. If we consider the mapping from the key  to the ciphertext  as a random permutation function  over an  point space, and if this function  is invertible; we need to find the inverse of this function .
Hellman's technique to invert this function:
During the preprocessing stage
Try to cover the  point space by an  rectangular matrix that is constructed by iterating the function  on  random starting points in  for  times. The start points are the leftmost column in the matrix and the end points are the rightmost column. Then store the pairs of start and end points in increasing order of end points values.

Now, only one matrix will not be able to cover the whole  space. But if we add more rows to the matrix, we will end up with a huge matrix that includes recovered points more than once. So, we find the critical value of  at which the matrix contains exactly  different points. Consider the first  paths from start points to end points are all disjoint with  points, such that the next path which has at least one common point with one of those previous paths and includes exactly  points. Those two sets of  and  points are disjoint by the birthday paradox if we make sure that . We achieve this by enforcing the matrix stopping rule: .
Nevertheless, an  matrix with  covers a portion  of the whole space. To generate  to cover the whole space, we use a variant of  defined:  and  is simple out manipulation such as reordering of bits of   (refer to the original paper for more details). And one can see that the total preprocessing time is . Also  since we only need to store the pairs of start and end points and we have  matrices each of  pairs.

During the real time phase
The total computation required to find  is  because we need to do  inversion attempts as it is likely to be covered by one matrix and each of the attempts takes  evaluations of some . The optimum tradeoff curve is obtained by using the matrix stopping rule  and we get  and choice of  and  depends on the cost of each resource.

According to Hellman, if the block cipher at hand has the property that the mapping from its key to cipher text is a random permutation function  over an  point space, and if this  is invertible, the tradeoff relationship becomes much better: .

Babbage-and-Golic attack on stream ciphers

For stream ciphers,  is specified by the number of internal states of the bit generatorprobably different from the number of keys.  is the count of the first pseudorandom bits produced from the generator. Finally, the attacker's goal is to find one of the actual internal states of the bit generator to be able to run the generator from this point on to generate the rest of the key. Associate each of the possible  internal states of the bit generator with the corresponding string that consists of the first  bits obtained by running the generator from that state by the mapping  from states  to output prefixes . This previous mapping is considered a random function over the  points common space. To invert this function, an attacker establishes the following.
During the preprocessing phase, pick  random  states and compute their corresponding  output prefixes.
Store the pairs  in increasing order of  in a large table.
During the realtime phase, you have  generated bits. Calculate from them all  possible combinations of  of consecutive bits with length .
Search for each  in the generated table which takes log time.
If you have a hit, this  corresponds to an internal state  of the bit generator from which you can forward run the generator to obtain the rest of the key.
By the Birthday Paradox, you are guaranteed that two subsets of a space with  points have an intersection if the product of their sizes is greater than .
This result from the Birthday attack gives the condition  with attack time  and preprocessing time  which is just a particular point on the tradeoff curve . We can generalize this relation if we ignore some of the available data at real time and we are able to reduce  from  to  and the general tradeoff curve eventually becomes  with  and .

Shamir and Biryukov's attack on stream ciphers

This novel idea introduced in 2000 combines the Hellman and Babbage-and-Golic tradeoff attacks to achieve a new tradeoff curve with better bounds for stream cipher cryptoanalysis. Hellman's block cipher technique can be applied to a stream cipher by using the same idea of covering the  points space through matrices obtained from multiple variants  of the function  which is the mapping of internal states to output prefixes. Recall that this tradeoff attack on stream cipher is successful if any of the given  output prefixes is found in any of the matrices covering . This cuts the number of covered points by the matrices from  to  points. This is done by reducing the number of matrices from  to  while keeping  as large as possible (but this requires  to have at least one table).
For this new attack, we have  because we reduced the number of matrices to  and the same for the preprocessing time . The realtime required for the attack is  which is the product of the number of matrices, length of each iteration and number of available data points at attack time.

Eventually, we again use the matrix stopping rule to obtain the tradeoff curve  for  (because ).

Attacks on stream ciphers with low sampling resistance

This attack, invented by Biryukov, Shamir, and Wagner, relies on a specific feature of some stream ciphers: that the bit generator undergoes only few changes in its internal state before producing the next output bit.
Therefore, we can enumerate those special states that generate  zero bits for small values of  at low cost. But when forcing large number of output bits to take specific values, this enumeration process become very expensive and difficult.
Now, we can define the sampling resistance of a stream cipher to be  with  the maximum value which makes such enumeration feasible.

Let the stream cipher be of  states each has a full name of  bits and a corresponding output name which is the first  bits in the output sequence of bits. If this stream cipher has sampling resistance , then an efficient enumeration can use a short name of  bits to define the special states of the generator. Each special state with  short name has a corresponding short output name of  bits which is the output sequence of the special state after removing the first  leading bits. Now, we are able to define a new mapping over a reduced space of  points and this mapping is equivalent to the original mapping. If we let , the realtime data available to the attacker is guaranteed to have at least one output of those special states. Otherwise, we relax the definition of special states to include more points. If we substitute for  by  and  by  in the new time/memory/data tradeoff attack by Shamir and Biryukov, we obtain the same tradeoff curve  but with . This is actually an improvement since we could relax the lower bound on  since  can be small up to  which means that our attack can be made faster. This technique reduces the number of expensive disk access operations from  to  since we will be accessing only the special  points, and makes the attack faster because of the reduced number of expensive disk operations.

title: ADAMTS17

text:
ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ADAMTS17 gene.

Function

This gene encodes a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) protein family. ADAMTS family members share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. The protein encoded by this gene has a high sequence similarity to the protein encoded by ADAMTS19, another family member. The function of this protein has not been determined.

Clinical significance
Mutations in ADAMTS17 are associated with Weill-Marchesani syndrome.

title: Invincible Spirit

text:
Invincible Spirit, foaled on 17 February 1997, is an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. As a two-year-old, he won two out of his four races, but as a three-year-old, he only raced twice and was unsuccessful on both occasions. In 2001, he achieved two victories, one of which was his first Group race win in the MacDonagh Boland Stakes. He won the Duke of York Stakes in 2002, and the Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup at the end of that year. Following his retirement from racing, he has emerged as one of Ireland's prominent stallions, siring notable progeny such as Fleeting Spirit, Kingman, Charm Spirit, Lawman, Mayson and Moonlight Cloud. Invincible Spirit was trained by John Dunlop and owned by Prince A. A. Faisal.

Background
Invincible Spirit is a bay horse bred by Nawara Stud and foaled on 17 February 1997. He was sired by Green Desert, a sprinter who achieved victories in the July Cup and Haydock Sprint Cup in 1986. Following his racing career, Green Desert became a highly successful stallion, producing numerous top horses including Cape Cross, Desert Prince, Oasis Dream, Owington and Sheikh Albadou. Invincible Spirit's dam was Rafha, a daughter of Kris. Rafha, also owned by Prince Faisal, secured a win in the Prix de Diane in 1990. Invincible Spirit was trained by John Dunlop.

Racing career

1999: Two-year-old season
Invincible Spirit made his racecourse debut on 11 July 1999 in a six-furlong maiden race at Haydock Park. Despite a slow start, he finished the race in third place, behind the winner Trouble Mountain. Seventeen days later, he participated in another maiden race at Goodwood. Starting as the favourite, he positioned himself towards the rear initially but made a strong move through the field to take the lead with one furlong remaining. He pulled away to secure victory by one and a half lengths over Break The Code.

On 30 August, Invincible Spirit competed in the Ripon Champion Two Years Old Trophy, a Listed race over six furlongs. He started as the 5/6 favourite and was ridden by Mick Kinane. Five furlongs into the race, Invincible Spirit quickened to lead the race and pulled away to win by one and a half lengths from Khasayl, with Femme Fatale a further three and a half lengths back in third place. Invincible Spirit's last race as a two-year-old was the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes. Jockey Richard Quinn held him up, but could not get him to settle early in the race. Invincible Spirit did make some progress in the penultimate furlong, but finished last of the six runners, about four and three quarter lengths behind winner Primo Valentino.

2000: Three-year-old season
Invincible Spirit did not race as a three-year-old until 16 September 2000, in the Dubai Duty Free Cup at Newbury. He was ridden for the first time by Pat Eddery, and after being at the rear of the field he could not get a clear run through in the home straight, finishing in fourth place behind winner Warningford. His only other race that year was the Challenge Stakes, where he finished sixth of the nine runners behind winner Last Resort.

2001: Four-year-old season
Invincible Spirit started the 2001 season on 4 May, in the Leicestershire Stakes, where he could not reach the leaders and finished fourth behind Warningford. Invincible Spirit then dropped in class for a six-furlong Conditions race at Goodwood. After racing in the middle of the pack, he made progress two furlongs out, before taking the lead as the field entered the final furlong. He went on to win the race by three quarters of a length from Kier Park after being eased up by Pat Eddery in the last 50 yards. Invincible Spirit then went to Royal Ascot for the Cork and Orrery Stakes, where after challenging the leaders over one furlong out, he faded in the final furlong and finished in ninth place. Harmonic Way won the race, beating runner-up Three Points by one length. On 21 July, Invincible Spirit started as the 3/1 favourite for the Hackwood Stakes, where he faced seven opponents. Eddery held him up as usual, before closing on the leaders over two furlongs out and taking the lead with a furlong still to run. After taking the lead he drifted to the right, but kept on to win a one and a half lengths from Mugharreb, with Bouncing Bowdler a further length back in third place.

On 26 August, Invincible Spirit raced outside the United Kingdom for the first time, when he contested the Prix de Meautry. He took second place with 200 metres left to run, but could not catch the leader, Do The Honours, who won easily by three lengths. Hot Tin Roof finished in third place, one and a half lengths behind Invincible Spirit. Invincible Spirit's final race start as a four-year-old came in the MacDonagh Boland Stakes, which took place on 15 September. He raced near the fore of the field in the early stages and was fourth with over one furlong still to run. He took second place inside the final furlong, before just taking the lead on the line to win the race by a short-head from Toroca, with the front two three lengths clear of third placed Anna Elise.

2002: Five-year-old season
Invincible Spirit started his five-year-old season by finishing fourth in the Abernant Stakes, a race that was won by Reel Buddy. After being held up, Invincible Spirit could not get a clear run until the final furlong, when he ran on finishing two lengths behind the winner. In the Duke of York Stakes he was ridden for the first and only time by Mick Kinane. After starting as the 3/1 favourite, Kinane positioned him just behind the leaders in the early stages of the race. In a close finish, Invincible Spirit took the lead with about 75 yards left to run and won the race by a neck from Mugharreb, with Lady Dominatrix third and Orientor fourth. On 3 June he raced over the minimum distance of five furlongs for the only time in his career, when he took part in the Temple Stakes at Sandown Park. After tracking the leaders he was left behind when he could not get a clear run over one furlong out, before running on in the final furlong and finishing fifth, about four lengths behind winner Kyllachy.

At Royal Ascot, Invincible Spirit raced in the Golden Jubilee Stakes (the renamed Cork and Orrery Stakes, which had been upgraded to a Group 1 race that year). He started the race at the price of 10/1, with Johannesburg starting as the 3/1 favourite, and Three Points, Danehurst and Continent also near the fore of the betting market. Invincible Spirit was slowly away and jockey Kieren Fallon lost an iron. He was up near the leaders with two furlongs remaining, but faded to finish in sixth place, about five lengths behind the winner. The race was won by Malhub, who beat second-placed Danehurst by one and a half lengths. Invincible Spirit's final race was the Sprint Cup at Haydock Park, where he was ridden by John Carroll. Nayyir was the pre-race favourite at 9/2, with Invincible Spirit starting as a 25/1 outsider. Carroll positioned him near the front of the fourteen-runner field and was challenging for the lead as they entered the final furlong. He stayed on best in the closing stages and took the lead near the finishing line to win the race by a short-head from Malhub. Three Points finished in third place, two lengths behind the winner, and just ahead of Orientor and May Ball, who finished fourth and fifth respectively.

title: A2ML1

text:
Alpha-2-macroglobulin-like 1 abbreviated as α2ML1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the A2ML1 gene. α2ML1  is a large, 180 kDa protein found in the epidermis. It is able to the inhibit the chymotryptic activity of KLK7.

Function

This gene encodes a member of the alpha-macroglobulin superfamily. The encoded protein acts as an inhibitor for several proteases, and has been reported as the p170 antigen recognized by autoantibodies in the autoimmune disease paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Clinical significance

Mutations in A2ML1 are associated to Noonan-like syndrome.

title: John Hart House (Portsmouth, New Hampshire)

text:
The John Hart House is a historic house at 403 The Hill in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Built in the late 18th century, this comparatively modest house exhibits stylistic changes reflective of architectural trends up to the mid 19th century. It was moved to its present location in the 1970s as part of a road widening project. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

Description and history
The John Hart House stands in The Hill, a cluster of closely spaced historic houses bounded on the north by Deer Street and the east by High Street at the northern edge of downtown Portsmouth. This grouping was created by a road widening project from houses originally located on or near Deer Street. This house is located on the west side of the cluster, just south of the Daniel Pinkham House and west of the Phoebe Hart House. It is a three-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof, two interior chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior, and is oriented facing west. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance sheltered by a Greek Revival portico with Corinthian columns. Its windows are framed by Federal-period eared moulding. The interior includes a Georgian-style central stair, with an arched Georgian window above the landing. Some of the fireplace surrounds reflect Federal and Greek Revival restylings.

When first built in the mid-18th century, this house was a two-story wood-frame structure. Early in the 18th century a third floor was added, and it was given extensive Federal-style treatment. These alterations included the replacement of original Georgian windows with long windows with eared surrounds. In the 1830s the Greek Revival portico was added, and Victorian fireplaces were also added. Additions were originally in place on the rear of the house, and in the 20th century it had been adapted for use as a nursing home. It was moved to its present location as part of a redevelopment project, and presently houses commercial offices.
