Changes in attitudes towards telemedicine in acute burn care following the Covid-19 pandemic   (2024)
Journal Article

Background: Telemedical referrals after burn injury had been shown to be advantageous over telephone referrals for multiple reasons, however there were several key barriers towards complete implementation. The Covid-19 pandemic facilitated the adopti... Read More about Changes in attitudes towards telemedicine in acute burn care following the Covid-19 pandemic  .

Local solvability and dilation-critical singularities of supercritical fractional heat equations (2024)
Journal Article

We consider the Cauchy problem for fractional semilinear heat equations with supercritical nonlinearities and establish both necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for local-in-time solvability. We introduce the notion of a dilation-critical... Read More about Local solvability and dilation-critical singularities of supercritical fractional heat equations.

Passwordless authentication using a combination of cryptography, steganography, and biometrics (2024)
Journal Article

User-generated passwords often pose a security risk in authentication systems. However, providing a comparative substitute poses a challenge, given the common tradeoff between security and user experience. This paper integrates cryptographic methods...
