Decentralized SSI Governance, the missing link in automating business decisions

This whitepaper explores a set of related ideas that we collectively refer to as “decentralizedSSI governance”. The purpose of such governance is to support organizations as theytransform their IT, their business-process artifacts, such as forms, and their policies to reap thebenefits of SSI. This paper introduces SSI Assurance Communities (SSI...

Core-Shell Encapsulation of Salt Hydrates into Mesoporous Silica Shells for Thermochemical Energy Storage

The advent of thermochemical energy storage (TcES), that is, storage of thermal energy by means of reversible chemical reactions, incites finding pathways of stabilization of thermochemical materials for thermal batteries of the future. Currently, salt hydrates such as LiCl·H2O, CaCl2·6H2O, and SrBr2·6H2O are being actively studied for TcES in...

Self-Sovereign Identity: a Comparison of IRMA and Sovrin

In this document we try to compare two of them: IRMA and Sovrin, the purpose of which is to give our audience an idea about what they are about, what the differences are, and where we stand today. The comparison is rather high-level, and touch upon functionality, protocols and maturity. We conclude that this area is still evolving (and quite...

Multiscale simulation of thermal behavior during selective laser melting of metals

Development of a mature fungal technology and production platform for industrial enzymes based on a Myceliophthora thermophila isolate, previously known as Chrysosporium lucknowense C1

The filamentous fungus C1 was developed into an expression platform for screening and production of diverse industrial enzymes. C1 shows a lowviscosity morphology in submerged culture, enabling the use of complex growth and production media. This morphology furthermore allowed C1 to be used as a host for high-throughput robotic screening of gene...

Practical schemes for privacy and security enhanced RFID

Proper privacy protection in RFID systems is important. However, many of the schemes known are impractical, either because they use hash functions instead of the more hardware efficient symmetric encryption schemes as a efficient cryptographic primitive, or because they incur a rather costly key search time penalty at the reader. Moreover, they...

A dedicated vector for efficient library construction and high throughput screening in the hyphal fungus Chrysosporium lucknowense

A self-replicating vector was designed that enables the construction of complex libraries in the fungus Chiysosporium lucknowense. The circular vector is linearized in vivo and results in a transformation frequency up to 13,000 transformants/ug ofplasmid DNA. Upon prolonged cultivation of the transformants in liquid medium, the linearized vector...
