Integrating methods to discriminate the soil historical pollution sources and assess the degree of contamination and related health risks in an urban environment: &amp;#160;the Commune of Santiago (Chile) case study.

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Commune of Santiago is an administrative unit belonging to Chile's capital city. It is the central hub for local transportation services and the centre of most national government functions. In 2017, a geochemical survey was carried out focusing on the topsoils of the commune. A total of 121 samples were homogeneously collected across an area of 22.4 sqkm to determine the spatial distribution of potentially toxic elements (PTE) and discover their primary and secondary sources. In the aim of the work, the assessment of human health risk for the local population was also included considering both the direct contact with soils and the breathing of airborne particles as relevant exposure pathways.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The geochemical baseline maps of 15 PTEs were generated using the Multifractal IDW (MIDW) interpolation, and map intervals were determined using a Concentration-Area plot considering the fractal structure of the geochemical data.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The contamination degree of the urban soil and its pattern was also calculated and mapped after developing a new index, named as Cumulative Contamination Degree (CCD), which integrate information about the severity of contamination and its spatial complexity.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;A robust multivariate statistical analysis based on Principal Components (RPCA) was carried out considering the compositional nature of the geochemical data. In addition, to highlight the presence and the geochemical patterns depending on different contamination sources, a Sequential Binary Partition (SBP) was used to generate contrasts among those elements considered as proxies of specific processes (Urban traffic, productive settlements, etc.).&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;A probabilistic approach was chosen to assess the risk due to exposure to soils for the local population. It was based on Monte Carlo simulation to include uncertainty due to spatial variation of data and the relative mobility of people within the borders of the study area.&amp;amp;#160;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The results obtained show that the innovation proposed to assess contamination and discriminate its sources, even when they are of secondary relevance, can generate positive feedback. Using a probabilistic approach in a non-site specific framework can even be considered a more reliable method to assess risks if we want to not underestimate the burden of uncertainty that substantially influences the results.&amp;amp;#160;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
The DR-D experiment in the Mont-Terri rock laboratory, heterogeneity of the Sandy Facies of Opalinus Clay across scales, from seismic surveys to radionuclide diffusion

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Clay rocks are investigated as potential host rocks for high-level nuclear waste (HLW) repositories in many countries. The Sandy Facies of Opalinus Clay (SF-OPA), as accessible in the Mont Terri rock laboratory, exhibits a pronounced heterogeneity, which is as well expected for lower cretaceous clay rocks, that are among the potential host rocks for the German HLW repository.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Aim of the DR-D experiment is to characterize the heterogeneity of SF-OPA on the m-cm scale via seismic tomography and borehole seismic characterization. Borehole logging and ex-situ drill core characterization provide information on rock heterogeneity on smaller scales.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Within the area, characterized by seismic tomography, a radio-tracer diffusion experiment will be set up, with the aim to correlate the observed diffusion behavior with the heterogeneous rock structure.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The first drilling campaign took place in May 2021. The seismic tomography survey of the experimental area was performed in October 2021. Processing and analysis of the seismic data, as well as drill core characterization are currently underway.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In this contribution we present the general concept and layout of the DR-D experiment, as well as first results.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;We acknowledge funding by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) (Grant 02NUK053A-E), the Helmholtz Association (Grant SO-093), BGR, and BGE. Special thanks to swisstopo and the Mont-Terri project for help, advice, and support.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;amp;#160;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
Reexamining the temporal and spatial patterns of exhumation and erosion in the Northern Apennines: new insights from low-temperature thermochronometers

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;We present published bedrock apatite fission track (AFT) and apatite (U-Th)/He (AHe) ages from the Northern Apennines to provide new insights into the spatial and temporal pattern of erosion across the mountain range. The spatial pattern of time-averaged erosion rates derived from AFT ages illustrates similar erosion rates on the Ligurian and Adriatic sides of the range. However, erosion rates derived from AHe ages are higher on the Adriatic side of the range, relative to the Ligurian side. The temporal pattern of time-averaged erosion rates illustrates an overall decrease in erosion through time on the Ligurian side, but suggests an increase in erosion through time on the Adriatic side. These results are corroborated by an analysis of paired AFT and AHe thermochronometer samples, which illustrate that erosion rates have generally increased through time on the Adriatic side, but have decreased through time on the Ligurian side. We infer that such regional scale-differences must be controlled by first-order features of the Northern Apennines, so we present an updated kinematic model to understand what could control these differences. Using imposed erosion rates on the Ligurian side that are a factor of two slower relative to the Adriatic side, we demonstrate that cooling ages and maximum burial depths are able to replicate the pattern of measured cooling ages across the orogen and estimates of burial depth from vitrinite reflectance data. These results suggest that horizontal motion is an important component of the overall rock motion in the wedge, and that the asymmetry of the orogen has existed for at least several million years.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
Machine-Learning Assisted Side-Channel Attacks on RNS ECC Implementations Using Hybrid Feature Engineering

Machine learning-based side-channel attacks have recently been introduced to recover the secret information from protected software and hardware implementations. Limited research exists for public-key algorithms, especially on non-traditional implementations like those using Residue Number System (RNS). Template attacks were proven successful on RNS-based Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), only if the aligned portion is used for templates. In this study, we present a systematic methodology for the evaluation of ECC cryptosystems with and without countermeasures (both RNS-based and traditional ones) against ML-based side-channel attacks using two attack models on full length aligned and unaligned leakages. RNS-based ECC datasets are evaluated using four machine learning classifiers and comparison is provided with existing state-of-the-art template attacks. Moreover, we analyze the impact of raw features and advanced hybrid feature engineering techniques. We discuss the metrics and procedures that can be used for accurate classification on the imbalanced datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that, for ECC RNS datasets, the efficiency of simple machine learning algorithms is better than the complex deep learning techniques when such datasets are limited in size. This is the first study presenting a complete methodology for ML side-channel attacks on public key algorithms.
Secure medical image steganography based on Discrete Wavelet Transformation and ElGamal encryption algorithm

The latest development in computing methodologies and related steganography based applications had created a novel practice such as telemedicine where patient diagnosis images or allied information can be used diagnosis practices that are located in remote areas. In order to provide accurate and effective telemedicine the flawless or seamless biomedical information is required from patient. With respect to this the medical data may remain prone to get corrupted by hackers or might get manipulated when transmitted through an insecure channel. The cryptosystems which are available are not efficient enough to solve the above mentioned issues. Hence, in this research work a much efficient and effective image steganography technique has been proposed in order to hide the confidential and important image information. We have incorporated Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT) technique instead of wavelet transform techniques to embed the secret message in the required cover images. Also, to assure continuous communication through insecure channel, a new model called ElGamal encryption cryptosystem model has been implemented which contains the steganography scheme which has been proposed and developed. To maintain the content of Region of Interest (ROI), Region of Non- Interest (RONI) is used to embed the secret information. The overall performance analysis reveals that the DWT with ElGamal encryption provides more efficient and also have high embedding capacity, imperceptibility when compared to other methods like Hamming code, Syndrome-Trellis Code (STC) and Rivest-Shamir- Adleman (RSA) based methods.

Parameter estimation for interseismic surface deformation using data assimilation

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Geodetic data provide an opportunity to improve our understanding of the processes and parameters controlling the dynamics of deformation during the earthquake cycle at subduction zones. However, the observations contain noise and are temporally and spatially sparse, whereas dynamical models are unequivocally imperfect. Also, the relative contributions from various drivers of surface deformation are poorly constrained by independent observations. Some drivers may be static or vary slowly in time (e.g., plate motion), whilst others vary significantly during the earthquake cycle (e.g., viscoelastic relaxation). Data assimilation combines prior estimates of dynamical models with the likelihood of observations into posterior estimates of the state evolution and time-independent parameters of a physical process. We explore the usefulness of data assimilation by using a particle filter to estimate the (spatially variable) elastic thickness of the overriding plate and the extent of the locked zone. The particle filter uses a Monte Carlo approach to represent the state probability distribution by a finite number of realizations (&amp;quot;particles&amp;quot;). We assimilate vertical interseismic surface displacements into a conceptual 2D elastic flexural model. We perform synthetic and real data assimilation experiments. We apply an Empirical Orthogonal Function analysis to find spatial and temporal variability of the data time series, which we use to make realistic assumptions on the observational errors.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Synthetic experiments demonstrate that the particle filter effectively estimates 1D elastic thickness from synthetic observations. However, elastic thickness estimates for models with a landward increase in plate thickness show larger uncertainty near the coast as the sensitivity of surface displacements reduces with increasing plate thickness. Interestingly, the effectiveness of the elastic thickness estimation is highly sensitive to network aperture, including GPS/A which greatly increases the quality of the parameter estimation. However, results of the locked zone extent are not as expected, which could be due to missing physics in the relatively conceptual model. Assimilation of interseismic vertical velocities prior to the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake show that model parameters cannot converge with continental data without applying additional parameter constraints. This is due to low wavelength solutions providing a better fit to the noisy observations given the conceptual model. Subsequently, we will set up a 2D elastic finite element model to include horizontal and vertical surface displacements.&amp;amp;#160; The results of the conceptual model demonstrate the potential of the particle filter to better understand the geodynamic process parameters of the earthquake cycle at subduction zones.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

And this paper through simulation experiments to prove that the image itself can be preserved and get good image enhancement results.
Model for Project-Based Training at the Intersection Point of General and Vocational Education

Project-based learning centers education around the student's personality. It relies on the cognitive activity, creative imagination, creativity and team thinking of students, guided by teachers who are in the position of motivators and facilitators. The article presents a model for project-based learning, which makes interdisciplinary links between general and vocational education, combines elements of formal and non-formal education, active and interactive learning and involves students in a real learning community. The educational project “Enchanté de faire votre connaissance, Monsieur Onéguine” provided an opportunity to enrich the educational environment, outsource learning, new roles for teachers and students, pedagogical innovation, improving students' professional competencies and building an attitude to learning in whole life.
Threaded Identity in Cyberspace: Weblogs &amp; Positioning in the Dialogical Self

The rapid emergence of Internet-based personal Weblogs reflects specific technological innovations and new online practices with broad affinity for the self as dialogical. This chapter employs qualitative analyses of the structural components and selected postings from a spectrum of 20 English-language blogs. It extends Vincent W. Hevern’s earlier analysis and addresses H. J. M. Hermans’s speculation by examining a newly emergent net environment, the personal Weblog. Weblogs display multiple and shifting positionings in the form of ongoing, personally meaningful, and hypertextually threaded themes. Weblogs display an interest in both visual display and presentation quality. Each Weblog has a distinctive look and feel; they often have coordinated graphical, typographical, and formatting schemes deployed in a consistent fashion. Unlike personal homepages, the publishing of a Weblog is an activity profoundly expressive of an author’s experience of time, a fundamental condition for Hermans’s model of moving positions in the dialogical self.
Sentiment Analysis of Russian Reviews to Estimate the Usefulness of Drugs Using the Domain-Specific XLM-RoBERTa Model

This paper considers the problem of classifying Russian-language drug reviews into five classes (corresponding to the authors’ rating scores) and into two classes (the drug is helpful or useless) in terms of the sentiment analysis task. The dataset of reviews with a markup of pharmaceutically-significant entities and the set of neural network models based on language models are used for the study. The result obtained in this task formulation is compared to a solution based on extracting the named entities relevant to the drug-taking effectiveness, including the positive dynamics after the drug, the side effects occurring, the worsening of the condition, and the absence of the effect. It is shown that both approaches (a classification one and one based on the extracted entities) demonstrate close results in the case of using the best-performing model – XML-RoBERTa-sag.
Risk workflow for CAScading and COmpounding hazards in COastal urban areas: The CASCO Project

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;Extreme climatic and geophysical events pose a threat to societies and have the capacity to cause significant damage and losses whenever they occur, both in their immediate aftermath and in the medium- to long-term. Their consequences can be amplified even further when more than one event affects the same geographical areas within a short time. Be it cascading hazards, in which one event triggers the next, or simply hazards that happen to occur simultaneously (&amp;amp;#8220;compounding&amp;amp;#8221; hazards), estimation of their cumulative consequences is challenging because the action of one event affects the exposure and vulnerability to the next one. While the efforts from the research community to develop multi-hazard perspectives have increased considerably in recent years, multiple remaining challenges require strongly-coordinated efforts across different disciplines and areas of expertise to tackle them with the most appropriate tools.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;With a multidisciplinary team of scientists from four different Helmholtz research centres in Germany, we have started working on the CASCO project (2022-2024), in which we will develop an integrated risk workflow for CAScading and COmpounding hazards in COastal urban areas by focusing on a series of events occurring around Mount Etna (Italy). The case-scenario starts with a strong earthquake that triggers a submarine collapse at the eastern flank of Mount Etna, an area already known to be unstable, and both the earthquake and the landslide trigger a tsunami that hits the coasts of Sicily and Calabria. Almost concomitantly, a heatwave or heavy rainfall happens to affect the same regions, further stressing the population that had been affected by the combined effects of the earthquake and tsunami.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;The project will be directed towards the modelling of the cascading earthquake, landslide and tsunami events, the compounding heatwave and rainfall, as well as their immediate impacts in terms of cumulative damage and casualties. Moreover, the medium- to long-term response in urban dynamics and the effect of these extreme events on the economic development of the affected populations will be explored. &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;By focusing on a tangible scenario, CASCO will not only tackle the challenges associated with bringing together the whole risk chain (which will be valid beyond our case-study) but also produce outcomes that help increase awareness of such extreme events and the need for societies to develop suitable strategies to strengthen their resilience and improve their disaster response.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
