We consider the use of qutrits in a two way deterministic quantum cryptographic protocol which exhibits a higher level of security. We analyse the security of the protocol in the context of the Intercept Resend Strategy. The protocol which transmits a qutrit is naturally limited to not utilising all the available maximally overlapping basis due to

An inverted paper cup of 0.26 mm thickness was subjected to deformation under a freely falling steel ball at a velocity of 2.77 m/sec. The deformed features of the paper cup were measured. The dynamic loading event was simulated using piecewise linear plasticity material model in LSDYNA. Deformed shape of the paper cup in finite element model match
