This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 27th Australasian Conference on Information Security and Privacy, ACISP 2022, held in Wollongong, NSW, Australia, in November 2022.The 25 full papers presented were carefully revised and selected from 62 submissions. The papers present and discuss all aspects of information security and privacy as well as machine learning for privacy and much more.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Provable Security, ProvSec 2020, held in Singapore, in November 2020. The 20 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 59 submissions. The papers focus on provable security as an essential tool for analyzing security of modern cryptographic primitives. They are divided in the following topical sections: signature schemes, encryption schemes and NIZKS, secure machine learning and multiparty computation, secret sharing schemes, and security analyses.* The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It has been known for many years that glutamate system implicated in pathophysiology of several mental illnesses. The molecular mechanisms of these neurological disorders including stroke, ischemia, schizophrenia and hepatic encephalopathy are poorly understood. Therefore, this book analyzes the distribution between astroglial membrane and cytoplasm of glutamate transporter GLAST claimed to be associated with its activity and focuses on the activity of its coupling enzyme Na]/K+-ATPase. The study examines the regulation of GLAST redistribution in the presence of neuroleptic drugs, ammonia, purinergic receptor activation and Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitors and explores kinetics of Na+/K+-ATPase and characteristics of rottlerin. The work covers aspects of molecular and cellular biology, cell imaging, pharmacology and biophysical chemistry. This book intends to provide a general knowledge of the field to the readers and highlights significances of the current research with figures, graphs and images. It is a useful source for researchers and students interested in a wide range of disciplines.
