This paper gives the general definitions of these two structures and proposes the reverse engineering analysis of each structure. Furthermore, we evaluate the complexity of the proposed reverse analyses and theoretically prove the effectiveness of the reverse method. For the Twoflsh-like and AES-like algorithrm, the experimental results verify the correctness and efficiency of the reverse analysis. The proposed reverse analysis can efficiently recover the secret S-boxes in the encryp＇don algorithms writh SPN and Feistel structures. It can successfully recover the Twoflsh- like algorithm in 2.3 s with 256 faults and the AES- like algorithm in 0.33 s with 23 faults.展开更多

Firstly, the scanning model of the tortoise shell is established by means of computer tomography （CT） scanning technology and MIMICS software. Secondly, the solid model of three-dimensional structure of the tortoise shell is constructed by using geomagic studio reverse engineering software. Afterwards, the compression numerical simulation of the tortoise shell structure under low strain rate is conducted with the help of finite element software LS-DYNA. Finally, load-bearing characteristics of the tortoise shell structure and dome-shaped structure are compared and analyzed. The results show that compared withthe dome-shaped structure with the same volume, tortoise shell structure has a higher structural rigidity and can withstand higher pressure. Therefore, tortoise shell structure provide some reference to the design of armored vehicles, sheltersand other types of thin shell structures.展开更多

The small enveloped DNA-containing virus replicates via reverse transcription, and this unique process is accomplished by the virally encoded reverse transcriptase (RT). This multi-functional protein plays a vital role in the viral life cycle. Here, we provide a summary of current knowledge regarding the structural characteristics and molecular mechanisms of HBV RT. Improved understanding of these processes is of both theoretical and practical significance for fundamental studies of HBV and drug discovery.展开更多

Herein, we have constructed the Mott-Schottky heterostructured VS2/MoS2 hybrids with tailorable 1T/2H phase based on their matchable formation energy, which are made of metallic and few-layered VS2 vertically grown on MoS2 surface. The density functional theory(DFT) calculations unveil that such heterojunctions drive the rearrangement of energy band with a facilitated reaction kinetics and enhance the Li adsorption energy more than twice compared to the MoS2 surface. Furthermore, the VS2 catalytically expedites the Li–S bond fracture and meantime the enriched Mo6+ enables the sulfur anchoring toward the oriented reaction with Li+to form Li2S, synergistically enhancing the reversibility of electrochemical redox. Consequently, the as-obtained VS2/MoS2 hybrids deliver a very large specific capacity of 1273 m Ah g^-1 at 0.1 A g^-1 with 61% retention even at 5 A g^-1. It can also stabilize 100 cycles at 0.5 A g^-1 and 500 cycles at 1 A g^-1. The findings provide in-depth insights into engineering heterojunctions towards the enhancement of reaction kinetics and reversibility for LIBs.展开更多
