Abstract The malicious manipulation of quantum key distribution read more (QKD) hardware is a serious threat to its security, as, typically, neither end users nor QKD manufacturers can validate the integrity of every component of their QKD system in practice.One possible approach to re-establish the security of QKD is to use a redundant number of d

Microstrip radiators with Circular Polarization (CP) are paid much attention in wireless and navigational applications.In this paper, four microstrip rectangular radiators with axially centered asymmetric Triangular-Semi Elliptic (TSE) slots along the square boundary of the patch is proposed.The probe feed is applied along the diagonal of the squar

The knowledge of wood from potentially producing species is here desirable to propose the expansion of such product through plantations, thereby avoiding the illegal exploitation of wood in native forests.To this end, we evaluated mean annual increment, wood density and vessel diameter of Balfourodendron riedelianum and Peltophorum dubium in a hete

Digitization offers great opportunities as well as new challenges.Indeed, these opportunities entail increased cyber risks, both from deliberate cyberattacks and from incidents caused by inadvertent human error.Cyber risk must be mastered, click here and to this aim, its quantification is an urgent challenge.There is a lot of interest in this topic
