21. Environmental occurrence and fate of semifluorinated n-alkanes and perfluorinated alkyl acids present in ski waxes
Abstract : Highly fluorinated organic compounds are emerging environmental contaminants of concern, due to their persistence, ubiquitous distribution, bioaccumulation potential and toxicity. Ski waxes are sources of highly fluorinated chemicals to the environment that have not been investigated so far. READ MORE

23. Snow contamination of cars: Collisions of ice particles with surfaces
Abstract : Seasonal snow cover on roads causes car accidents that lead to human suffering and economic loss. Snow cover decreases visibility and road-tire friction. Advanced active safety systems have been developed to cope with sudden changes in driving conditions and have been engineered to act as quickly as possible. READ MORE

25. On LFSR based Stream Ciphers - analysis and design
Abstract : Stream ciphers are cryptographic primitives used to ensure privacy in digital communication. In this thesis we focus on stream ciphers built using Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSRs). Several different stream ciphers are analysed and new attacks are presented. In addition, two new stream ciphers are presented, both based on the same design. READ MORE
