Retrieval of snow water equivalent from dual-frequency radar measurements: using time series to overcome the need for accurate a priori information

Abstract. Measurements of radar backscatter are sensitive to snow water equivalent (SWE) across a wide range of frequencies, motivating proposals for satellite missions to measure global distributions of SWE. However, radar backscatter measurements are also sensitive to snow stratigraphy, to microstructure, and to ground surface roughness, complicating SWE retrieval. A number of recent advances have created new tools and datasets with which to address the retrieval problem, including a parameterized relationship between SWE, microstructure, and radar backscatter, and methods to characterize ground surface scattering. Although many algorithms also introduce external (prior) information on SWE or snow microstructure, the precision of the prior datasets used must be high in some cases in order to achieve accurate SWE retrieval. We hypothesize that a time series of radar measurements can be used to solve this problem and demonstrate that SWE retrieval with acceptable error characteristics is achievable by using previous retrievals as priors for subsequent retrievals. We demonstrate the accuracy of three configurations of prior information: using a global SWE model, using the previously retrieved SWE, and using a weighted average of the model and the previous retrieval. We assess the robustness of the approach by quantifying the sensitivity of the SWE retrieval accuracy to SWE biases artificially introduced in the prior. We find that the retrieval with the weighted averaged prior demonstrates SWE accuracy better than 20 % and an error increase of only 3 % relative RMSE per 10 % change in prior bias; the algorithm is thus both accurate and robust. This finding strengthens the case for future radar-based satellite missions to map SWE globally.
Reverse Engineering of the MMORPG Client Protocol

Massively Multi-Player On-Line Role-Playing Games (MMORPG) represent a computer game genre where the human player is able to assume the role of a game character and control its actions in a well defined virtual world; the prefix “massively” denoting the vast number of players playing the game simultaneously. Cheating in such games is a fairly common occurrence and presents a major concern in network games as it is able to degrade the experience of “honest” players, with cheat prevention being considered as a subset of security issues for online games. In this paper we have presented a form of a network-level game cheating based on the MMORPG client reverse engineering method within the game Mana World, an MMORPG with client/server architecture. We have used the network protocol vulnerability of a non-encrypted data traffic in order to reverse-engineer the original data packets sent by the original game client, and replicated these packets in our own AI-based game client which enabled us complete control of the game character via Python code.
A Temporal View of Business Analytics in Interorganizational Relationships: Enablers and Barriers to Value Creation

By exploring how investing in business analytics (BA) influences interorganizational relationships (IORs), this study addresses two gaps in the literature: The lack of empirical evidence on mechanisms through which BA influences IORs both positively and negatively, and the need to identify the specific mechanisms that link BA investment to improved IOR performance. The study employs a multiple-case survey methodology and analyzes 71 case studies sourced from secondary data to investigate the impact of BA on IORs. The method productively utilizes the existing published studies to examine the BA implementation process in different settings and study the long-term use of BA. Absorptive capacity is used as a theoretical framework in this research to show how BA enables IOR value creation. The findings show that investing in BA tools and technologies alone does not guarantee success. Instead, firms must carefully tailor their BA investment to their business needs to ensure success while avoiding potential pitfalls associated with BA deployment in IORs.
Role of TNF-α in the Pathogenesis of Migraine

Background Neurogenic neuroinflammation has a wide role in migraine pathogenesis including the transition from episodic migraine to chronic one. The seed molecule of neurogenic neuroinflammation, i.e., the TNF-α proinflammatory molecule, has gathered a lot of attention. This pleiotropic cytokine is a classical component of inflammatory soup, secreted by the microglial cell, and promotes a wide range of inflammatory reactions. Aim In this review, we aimed to provide a culminating and comprehending glimpse into the TNF-α in association with the migraine. Method A systematic literature survey method with a mixture of keywords was utilized to grasp the different elements that represent the association between TNF-α and migraine. Discussion. Highlighted the probable involvement of the TNF-α with migraine, the complexity of the matter such as activation of NF-KB signaling cascade, autoactivation, sensitization, and increased likelihood of transition cannot be neglected. Being TNF-α as a core node, it becomes the factor for linking diseases such as chronic inflammatory disorders, including COVID-19, and also interaction with other genes to develop severe conditions. Conclusion To this end, TNF-α plays a critical role in chronification, and inhibiting its signaling would likely be a crucial strategy for migraine therapy.

Secure Steganography Model over Cloud Environment using Adaptive ABC and Optimum Pixel Adjustment Algorithm

An effective security model with low computational complexity, minimal quality-compromised, and improved security robustness is essential due to the rapid expansion of multimedia data communication through different cloud services. An image steganography model has been proposed for the security of multimedia data in an unreliable cloud environment. This study's main goal is to provide efficient steganography with barely hidden information. A secure data communication model has been developed over a cloud environment using the Adaptive Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm and the Optimum Pixel Adjustment Algorithm Based Image Steganography Method. An adaptive ABC (artificial bee colony) technique is applied to select the optimal pixel positions in the cover image because the goal of this investigation is to increase PSNR. The Optimal Pixel Adjustment approach is used to minimise embedding errors while maintaining the stego image's appearance identical to the cover image after embedding. The MATLAB platform is used to implement the proposed method. The results show that the proposed AABC-based OPA is more efficient across all measures investigated during the embedding and extraction processes.
An analytical study of interrelation between media and power politics

In the present era of the media revolution, the media certainly has a deep impact on political engagement and power management. The media is being used as a tool to manage people's participation and the development of political perspectives. The media has an immense potential for influencing social elections, and the political parties are using the media for power management by providing information and convincing the voters to make government. The media has been an omnipresent and influential tool in the global world. The importance of mass media is not only static in the sense of information dissemination and communication but also affects a person's socio-political behaviour by sharing socio-political and cultural events. The present paper mainly explores the impact of media on power politics and the promotion of political participation. In the end, the media played a very important role in the development and change of people's perceptions in society and in the political sphere. The methodology used in the paper was triangulation methodology, and both primary and secondary research data have been taken into consideration.
Disruption of OVOL2 Distal Regulatory Elements as a Possible Mechanism Implicated in Corneal Endothelial Dystrophy

The genetic architecture of corneal endothelial dystrophies remains unknown in a substantial number of affected individuals. The proband investigated in the current study was diagnosed in the neonatal period with bilateral corneal opacification due to primary endothelial cell dysfunction. Neither his parents nor his sister had signs of corneal disease. Conventional karyotyping revealed a de novo translocation involving chromosomes 3 and 20, t(3;20)(q25;p11-12). Following genome and targeted Sanger sequencing analysis, the breakpoints were mapped at the nucleotide level. Notably, the breakpoint on chromosome 20 was identified to lie within the same topologically associated domain (TAD) as corneal endothelial dystrophy-associated gene OVOL2, and it is predicted to disrupt distal enhancers. The breakpoint at chromosome 3 is located within intron 2 of PFN2, which is currently not associated with any human disease. Further interrogation of the proband’s genome failed to identify any additional potentially pathogenic variants in corneal endothelial dystrophy-associated genes. Disruption of a candidate cis-regulatory element and/or positional effects induced by translocation of OVOL2 to a novel genomic context may lead to an aberrant OVOL2 expression, a previously characterized disease mechanism of corneal endothelial dystrophy. Further research is necessary to explore how disruption of regulatory elements may elucidate genetically unsolved corneal endothelial dystrophies.
Cartilage tissue healing and regeneration based on biocompatible materials: a systematic review and bibliometric analysis from 1993 to 2022

Cartilage, a type of connective tissue, plays a crucial role in supporting and cushioning the body, and damages or diseases affecting cartilage may result in pain and impaired joint function. In this regard, biocompatible materials are used in cartilage tissue healing and regeneration as scaffolds for new tissue growth, barriers to prevent infection and reduce inflammation, and deliver drugs or growth factors to the injury site. In this article, we perform a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of literature on cartilage tissue healing and regeneration based on biocompatible materials, including an overview of current research, identifying the most influential articles and authors, discussing prevailing topics and trends in this field, and summarizing future research directions.
Effect of Artificially Induced Drought Stress on Seedlings of Pinus roxburghii Sarg

ABSTRACT Water relation and growth parameters of drought stressed seedlings of Chir pine (Pinus roxburghii Sarg.) were studied over a one year period. The seedlings were subjected to three drought cycles of 9, 18, 27 days and one control level (watered every alternate day) in a polyhouse. Pre-dawn (5.30-6.30 AM) and Mid-day water potential was estimated using a pressure chamber. The bench drying method was followed for developing P-V curves for estimating components of water potential. Osmotic adjustment was estimated as the difference between the osmotic potential at zero and full turgor of seedlings kept at control and those given 27 days drought. Across drought cycles the pre- dawn water potential ranged between -0.59 MPa and -2.12 MPa and the mid-day water potentials were always lower than pre-dawn water potentials. The Osmotic adjustment was â€“ 1.17 MPa at full turgor and -2.0 MPa at zero turgor. The seedlings growth was positively related to soil moisture and water potential. The daily change in water potential (difference between pre-dawn and mid-day water potential) declined with increasing drought and was nominal (less than -0.2 MPa) in seedlings subjected to 18 and 27 days drought cycle. Needle characteristics were severely affected by water stress. In Pinus roxburghii Sarg seedlings osmotic adjustment may be an important adaptive mechanism that assists it to invade and grow on dry inhospitable sites.
AIS-Clus: A Bio-Inspired Method for Textual Data Stream Clustering

The spread of real-time applications has led to a huge amount of data shared between users. This vast volume of data rapidly evolving over time is referred to as data stream. Clustering and processing such data poses many challenges to the data mining community. Indeed, traditional data mining techniques become unfeasible to mine such a continuous flow of data where characteristics, features, and concepts are rapidly changing over time. This paper presents a novel method for data stream clustering. In this context, major challenges of data stream processing are addressed, namely, infinite length, concept drift, novelty detection, and feature evolution. To handle these issues, the proposed method uses the Artificial Immune System (AIS) meta-heuristic. The latter has been widely used for data mining tasks and it owns the property of adaptability required by data stream clustering algorithms. Our method, called AIS-Clus, is able to detect novel concepts using the performance of the learning process of the AIS meta-heuristic. Furthermore, AIS-Clus has the ability to adapt its model to handle concept drift and feature evolution for textual data streams. Experimental results have been performed on textual datasets where efficient and promising results are obtained.
The effect of various crops on bromide leaching to shallow groundwater under natural rainfall conditions

ABSTRACT: Information is limited on water and solute leaching in the presence of crops. This field investigation was conducted to determine the effect of various crops on leaching of a bromide (Br) tracer under natural rainfall conditions. The soil is a Griswold silt loam (fine-loamy, mixed, mesic, Acquic Argiudoll). Monitoring wells (4-m deep) to groundwater were installed in the center of a Br -treated area (5 m × 5 m) in selected plots planted to corn, soybean, and alfalfa. Bromide was surface-applied at the ratc of 197 kg ha−1 in May 1991. Dry weather conditions early in the growing season resulted in the formation of deep cracks in the field in all plots. Bromide was detected in the soil to a 80-cm depth by August (less than three months after application) under all the crops with only 1/0 mm of accumulated rainfall. This was presumably due to transport of Br through the soil cracks during the sporadic rainfall events. Simulation analysis with the Groundwater Loading Effects of Agricultural Management Systems (GLEAMS) computer model indicated that piston-flow was no adequate to provide the observed leaching depth of Br by the August sampling date. By November, Br was distributed fairly uniformly throughout the 1-m profile in all the treatments. Except in the top 20 cm, Br concentrations were significantly greater with the drilled soybean treatment compared to others at all depths. Crop uptake of Br was significantly greater (P 0.05) for corn (19.3 kg ha−1) and soybean (16 kg ha−1) compared to alfalfa (6.6 kg ha−1) or oats (4.5 kg ha−1). Bromide recovery (soil+tissue) was highest with the drilled soybean treatment (84%) followed by alfalfa (46%), corn (39%), and row soybean (28%) treatments in November. Monitoring wells sampled in December 1991 showed detectable amounts of Br in all the plots irrespective of the type of crop grown. Results from this study show that although the amount of Br recovered (soil+tissue) varied with the type of crop grown, Br breakthrough to groundwater occurred within one growing season under all crops. This is especially true when surface-applied Br moves rapidly through the soil via preferential pathways like macropcres. Greater potential for shallow groundwater pollution by non-adsorbed agri-chemicals exists on these medium-textured silt loam soils than previously believed.
Tidally Modulated Glacial Slip and Tremor at Helheim Glacier, Greenland

Numerical modeling of ice sheet motion and hence projections of global sea level rise require information about the evolving subglacial environment, which unfortunately remains largely unknown due to its difficulty of access. Here we advance such subglacial observations by reporting multi‐year observations of seismic tremor likely associated with glacier sliding at Helheim Glacier. This association is confirmed by correlation analysis between tremor power and multiple environmental forcings on different timescales. Variations of the observed tremor power indicate that different factors affect glacial sliding on different timescales. Effective pressure may control glacial sliding on long (seasonal/annual) timescales, while tidal forcing modulates the sliding rate and tremor power on short (hourly/daily) timescales. Polarization results suggest that the tremor source comes from an upstream subglacial ridge. This observation provides insights on how different factors should be included in ice sheet modeling and how their timescales of variability play an essential role.
