Knowing whether human corpses can transmit plague will inform policies for handling the bodies of those who have died of the disease.We analyzed the literature to evaluate risk for transmission of Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, from human corpses and animal carcasses.Because we could not find direct evidence of transmission, we des

Secure computation is a powerful cryptographic tool that encompasses the evaluation of any multivariate function with arbitrary inputs from mutually distrusting parties.The oblivious transfer primitive serves is a basic building block for the general task of secure multi-party computation.Therefore, analyzing the security in the universal composabi

Abstract Background The Lactobacillaceae family comprises many species of great importance for the food and healthcare industries, with numerous strains identified as beneficial for humans and used as probiotics.Hence, there is a growing interest in engineering these probiotic bacteria as live biotherapeutics for animals and humans.However, the gen
