Performance Evaluation of ENUM Name Servers

ENUM is a protocol for mapping E.164 telephone numbers into Internet URIs. In this paper, we present a performance evaluation of ENUM name servers considering the new requirements and challenges imposed on traditional DNS  servers with the incorporation of ENUM protocol. We defined three performance metrics for this performance evaluation: query throughput, response time, and CPU usage. Using a benchmarking testbed, we eval-uated four name servers implementations (BIND, MyDNS-NG, NSD and PowerDNS) in different scenarios considering distinct size of database and types of records being queried. Moreover, we improved the existing methodology for this kind of evaluation, since we identified the limitations of DNSPerf and proposed a new procedure for the evaluation. Results show that BIND and NSD servers achieved a high query throughput with great scalability features. On the other hand, PowerDNS server had a lower throughput and high sensibil-ity to database size. MyDNS-NG server presented a quite low query throughput and poor scalability and, therefore, it is not suitable for ENUM purposes. These results bring to light a new reality for studies of ENUM servers, since they have not been evaluated in such a extended scenarios and size of the database.

The simplified modified nucleolus of a cooperative TU-game

In the present paper, we introduce a new solution concept for TU-games, the simplified modified nucleolus or the SM-nucleolus. It is based on the idea of the modified nucleolus (the modiclus) and takes into account both the constructive power and the blocking power of a coalition. The SM-nucleolus inherits this convenient property from the modified nucleolus, but it avoids its high computational complexity. We prove that the SM-nucleolus of an arbitrary n-person TU-game coincides with the prenucleolus of a certain n-person constant-sum game, which is constructed as the average of the game and its dual. Some properties of the new solution are discussed. We show that the SM-nucleolus coincides with the Shapley value for three-person games. However, this does not hold for general n-person cooperative TU-games. To confirm this fact, a counter example is presented in the paper. On top of this, we give several examples that illustrate similarities and differences between the SM-nucleolus and well-known solution concepts for TU-games. Finally, the SM-nucleolus is applied to the weighted voting games.
Reliable capacity provisioning and enhanced remediation for distributed cloud applications

Large-scale computing systems are today built as distributed systems (for reasons of scale, heterogeneity, cost and energy efficiency) where components and services are distributed and accessed remotely through clients and devices. In some systems, in particular latency-sensitive or high availability systems, components are also placed closer to end-users (in, e.g., radio base stations and other systems on the edge of access networks) in order to increase reliability and reduce latency - a style of computing often referred to as edge or fog computing.
However, while recent years have seen significant advances in system instrumentation as well as data centre energy efficiency and automation, computational resources and network capacity are often provisioned using best effort provisioning models and coarse-grained quality of service (QoS) mechanisms, even in state-of-the-art data centres. These limitations are seen as a major hindrance in the face of the coming evolution of(IoT and the networked society, and have even today manifested in, e.g., a limited cloud adoption of systems with high reliability requirements such as telecommunications infrastructure and emergency services systems.
RECAP goes beyond the current state of the art and develop the next generation of cloud/edge/fog computing capacity provisioning via targeted research advances in cloud infrastructure optimization, simulation and automation. Building on advanced machine learning, optimization and simulation techniques. The overarching result of RECAP is the next generation of agile and optimized cloud computing systems. The outcomes of the project will pave the way for a radically novel concept in the provision of cloud services, where services are instantiated and provisioned close to the users that actually need them by self-configurable cloud computing systems.
When a Neglected Tropical Disease Goes Global: Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Italian Physicians towards Monkeypox, Preliminary Results

Monkeypox (MPX) has been regarded as a neglected tropic disease of Western and Central Africa since the early 70s. However, during May 2022, an unprecedent outbreak of MPX has involved most of European Countries, as well as North and South America. While the actual extent of this outbreak is being assessed by health authorities, we performed a pilot study on specific knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) in a sample of Italian medical professionals (24-30 May 2022; 10,293 potential recipients), focusing on Occupational Physicians (OP), Public Health Professionals (PH), and General Practitioners (GP), i.e., medical professionals more likely involved in the early management of incident cases. More specifically, we inquired into their attitude on the use of variola vaccine in order to prevent MPX infection. From a total of 566 questionnaire (response rate of 5.5%), 163 participants were included in the final analyses. Knowledge status was quite unsatisfying, with substantial knowledge gaps on all aspect of MPX. In turn, analysis of risk perception suggested a substantial overlooking of MPX as a pathogen, particularly when compared to SARS-CoV-2, TB, HIV, and HBV. Overall, 58.6% of respondents were somehow favorable to implement variola vaccination in order to prevent MPX, and the main effectors of this attitude were identified in having been previously vaccinated against seasonal influenza (adjusted Odds Ratio [aOR] 6.443, 95% Confidence Interval [95%CI] 1.798-23.093), and being favorable to receive variola vaccine (aOR 21.416; 95%CI 7.290-62.914). In summary, the significant extent of knowledge gaps and the erratic risk perception, associated collectively stress the importance of appropriate information campaigns among first-line medical professionals.
(Re)Constructing a bible. a new approach to unedited biblical manuscripts as sources for the early history of the karaim language

Eastern European Karaims are the sole representatives of Karaite Judaism in Europe. Their native tongue is a severely endangered Turkic vernacular listed on the UNESCO Atlas of the Worlds’ Languages in Danger. Due to many historical events, including World War II and the Soviet era, the cultural heritage of this intriguing ethnic minority suffered great losses. At the same time, since its investigation requires a rare combination of unique linguistic and palaeographic skills merely a fraction of its surviving written heritage has entered scholarly circulation. In particular, no comprehensive edition of the Karaim Hebrew Bible exists, even though nearly 100 Karaim Biblical texts have been discovered to date.
The project will construct a digital edition of the entire Karaim  Bible, almost exclusively based on unedited texts in Hebrew script (15th–20th cc). It will be used as a tool to deliver the first linguistic and palaeographic descriptions of the oldest, still unedited records of Karaim as well as reconstruct the way in which the Karaim Bible was created. Combining traditional and computer-aided research methods will provide essential data on the early history of the Karaim language and ethnicity. The edition will be a highly complex instrument interconnected with a dictionary, which is an absolute novelty in the field.
The edition will contain the first ever comprehensive Karaim translation intelligible to present-day native-speakers. The texts will be treated according to the principles of textual criticism and translated into English. If permitted, facsimiles will be provided. One exciting aspect of the enterprise is that it will offer a virtual unification of the Karaim translations of one of the most important and influential works in world literature. Such a task is of fundamental importance and is crucial to sustaining an endangered culture, given that an awareness of the oldest Bible translations is an important component of European national identities.

Consideraciones sobre la posición sistemática del género Angustiphyllum Altevogt (Coelenterata, Rugosa) del Devónico Medio de la Cordillera Cantábrica (NO de España)

El género Agustiphyllum Altevogt, de acusado carácter provincialista, se encuentra representado en el Devónico Medio (Eifeliense) de la Cordillera Cantábrica por ejemplares, cuya particularidad más llamativa es su aspecto externo cuneiforme. Su única especie, A. cuneiforme Altevogt, muestra además de dicha morfologia otras carac­terísticas típicas del género, tales como una elevación axial crestiforme, de naturaleza sinapticular, dispuesta per­pendicularmente al plano cardinal-antípoda y una microstructura fibrolamelar de los septos. En el presente traba­jo se analiza el valor taxonómico de ambas características y en base a ellas se amplía y delimita la diagnosis del género Angustiphyllum y se discute su posición sistemática familiar y subfamiliar. Asímismo, se amplía conside­rablemente la distribución geográfica del género en la Cordillera Cantábrica, hasta el punto de constituir un nivel guía muy útil a nivel regional. El hallazgo de ejemplares similares de Angustiphyllum, pero desprovistos de la elevación axial crestiforme del cáliz, da pié para proponer la creación de un género y especie nuevos, que por el momento mantenemos en nomenclatura abierta, a causa del escaso número de ejemplares recolectados.
ARRANGEMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE RACING CIRCUITS, IN PARTICULAR FOR MOTORCARS, WHICH FACILITATES OVERTAKING MANEUVERS IN BENDS

The invention concerns an arrangement (8) of a motorcar racing circuit, having at least one bend (1) comprising a first circular segment (2), including at least one overtaking lane (9), an access section (10) to said lane (9), and an exit stretch (11) connected to said circuit. The overtaking lane (9) outside the bend (1) includes a second circular segment (12) concentric with the first segment (2). Said lane has a superelevation and/or a surface based on the characteristics of said first segment (2), such that the time of travel round the bend (1, 8) by a vehicle is the same, as when the vehicle travels along the initial bend (1) or the overtaking lane (8). A water stream, or flexible blocks or vibrators separate de overtaking lane (8) from the initial bend (1). The invention is applicable to motorcar, motorcycle or side-car racing.
Diet Index-Based and Empirically Derived Dietary Patterns Are Associated with Colorectal Cancer Risk

Previous studies have derived patterns by measuring compliance with preestablished dietary guidance or empirical methods, such as principal components analysis (PCA). Our objective was to examine colorectal cancer risk associated with patterns identified by both methods. The study included 431 incident colorectal cancer cases (225 men, 206 women) and 726 healthy controls (330 men, 396 women) participating in a population-based, case-control study. PCA identified sex-specific dietary patterns and the Healthy Eating Index-2005 (HEI-05) assessed adherence to the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. A fruits and vegetables pattern and a meat, potatoes, and refined grains pattern were identified among men and women; a third pattern (alcohol and sweetened beverages) was identified in men. The fruits and vegetables pattern was inversely associated with risk among men [odds ratio (OR) = 0.38, 95% CI = 0.21-0.69 for the highest compared with the lowest quartile] and women (OR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.19-0.65). The meat, potatoes, and refined grains pattern was positively associated with risk in women (OR = 2.20, 95% CI = 1.08-4.50) and there was a suggestion of a positive association among men (OR = 1.56, 95% CI = 0.84-2.90; P-trend = 0.070). Men and women with greater HEI-05 scores had a significantly reduced risk of colorectal cancer (OR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.31-0.99; OR = 0.44, 95% CI = 0.24-0.77, respectively). Following the Dietary Guidelines or a dietary pattern lower in meat, potatoes, high fat, and refined foods and higher in fruits and vegetables may reduce colorectal cancer risk.
Compact Resolved Ejecta in the Nearest Tidal Disruption Event

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star or sub-stellar object passes close enough to a galaxy's supermassive black hole to be disrupted by tidal forces. NGC 4845 (d=17 Mpc) was host to a TDE, IGR J12580+0134, detected in November 2010. Its proximity offers us a unique close-up of the TDE and its aftermath. We discuss new Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) and Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) observations, which show that the radio flux from the active nucleus created by the TDE has decayed in a manner consistent with predictions from a jet-circumnuclear medium interaction model. This model explains the source's broadband spectral evolution, which shows a spectral peak that has moved from the submm (at the end of 2010) to GHz radio frequencies (in 2011-2013) to <1 GHz in 2015. The milliarcsecond-scale core is circularly polarized at 1.5 GHz but not at 5 GHz, consistent with the model. The VLBA images show a complex structure at 1.5 GHz that includes an east west extension ~40 milliarcsec (3 pc) long as well as a resolved component 52 milliarcsec (4.1 pc) northwest of the flat-spectrum core, which is all that can be seen at 5 GHz. If ejected in 2010, the NW component must have had v=0.96 c over five years. However, this is unlikely, as our model suggests strong deceleration to speeds < 0.5c within months and a much smaller, sub-parsec size. In this interpretation, the northwest component could have either a non-nuclear origin or be from an earlier event.
Microscopic Reversibility for Nonequilibrium Classical Open Systems

We rigorously show that the probability to have a specific trajectory of an externally perturbed classical open system satisfies a universal symmetry for Hamiltonian dynamics. It connects the ratio between the probabilities of time forward and reversed trajectories to a degree of the time reversal asymmetry of the final phase space distribution in a model-independent framework. Especially, it amounts to a nonequilibrium generalization of the detailed balance between the probabilities of the forward and reversed trajectories under the condition that the initial phase space distribution is described by an equilibrium ensemble. An expression of the microscopic reversibility for the subsystem is also derived based on this relation.
Acquisition of a machining centre

The machine has a state-of-the-art fully automatic palette feature that allows uninterrupted three-shift work. Kone enables the customer to produce products previously purchased in Germany in Finland. The efficiency of the machine is 25 % higher than that of similar machines on the market. The machine has a measurement and quality assurance program included, which is a completely new feature.
Trusted online service for identity assurance

The objective of the overall innovation project is to commercialize a trusted online service for identity assurance (IDAaaS -
Identity Assurance as a Service). This service will be implemented according to European standards for electronic identity,
including eIDAS and STORK. The new service will be based on several years of development of secure electronic identity
and digital signatures in the Nordic market.

The expected outcome will be a simplified and cost effective online service for identity assurance that can be used in
regulated industries such as banks and financial institutions (hereafter referred to as banks). The purpose of the service will
be to assure that a user is who she claims to be when signing up to a new online service.

The lack of good solutions for trusted digital on-boarding of customers makes it difficult for new online-only players to enter
the market, which could otherwise increase competition and improve the bank services in general. Large costs, trouble and
hassle for both the bank client and the bank hamper innovation in the finance sector.

Electronic identity is a prerequisite for digital on-boarding. The electronic identity in Europe is fragmented and the missing
implementation of European standards in this field represents a major barrier to secure cross-country transactions. The
problem of establishing the true identity of the onboarding customer must be solved using multiple tools and instruments.

This tool box of multiple tools is the innovation of Signicat’s solution.
Ion Transport in Liquid Salt Solutions with Oxide Dispersions: “Soggy Sand” Electrolytes

"Soggy sand" electrolyte, which essentially consists of oxide dispersions in nonaqueous liquid salt solutions, comprises an important class of soft matter electrolytes. The ion transport mechanism of soggy sand electrolyte is complex. The configuration of particles in the liquid solution has been observed to depend in a nontrivial manner on various parameters related to the oxide (concentration, size, surface chemistry) and solvent (dielectric constant, viscosity) as well as time. The state of the particles in solution not only affects ionic conductivity but also effectively the mechanical and electrochemical properties of the solid-liquid composite. Apart from comprehensive understanding of the underlying phenomena that govern ion transport, which will benefit design of better electrolytes, the problem has far-reaching implications in diverse fields such as catalysis, colloid chemistry, and biotechnology.
Polyannulated Bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)palladium Pincer Complexes for Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction

Phenanthro- and pyreno-annulated N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have been incorporated into lutidine-linked bis-NHC Pd pincer complexes to investigate the effect of these polyannulated NHCs on the ability of the complexes to electrochemically reduce CO2 to CO in the presence of 2,2,2-trifluoroacetic acid and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol as proton sources. These complexes are screened for their ability to reduce CO2 and modeled using density functional theory calculations, where the annulated phenanthrene and pyrene moieties are shown to be additional sites for redox activity in the pincer ligand, enabling increased electron donation. Electrochemical and computational studies are used to gain an understanding of the chemical significance of redox events for complexes of this type, highlighting the importance of anion binding and dissociation.

Method of completing a subterranean well

A method of completing a subterranean well and associated apparatus therefor provide efficient operation and convenience in completions where production of fluids from a lateral wellbore and a parent wellbore is desired. In one disclosed embodiment, the invention provides a method whereby a tubular member may be extended from a parent wellbore into a lateral wellbore, without the need of deflecting the tubular member off of a whipstock or other inclined surface. The tubular member may be previously deformed and initially constrained within a housing, so that as the tubular member extends outwardly from the housing, the tubular member is permitted to deflect laterally toward the lateral wellbore.
Validation study of a turbulence radiation interaction model: Weak, intermediate and strong TRI in jet flames

Abstract A TRI methodology developed previously for hydrogen jet flames is applied to carbon monoxide and methane jet flames. The paper demonstrates that the TRI methodology can accurately predict the spectral intensity distribution and heat flux distribution across a range of jet flames. A β probability density function (PDF) together with Reynolds averaging of the instantaneous properties along rays traversing the flames is used to prescribe the instantaneous incident intensity. Unlike most other studies in this area the model is used to predict the heat flux distribution as well as the spectral intensity. The underlying reason why hydrogen jet flames exhibit strong TRI compared to carbon monoxide and methane is also considered and shown to be a complex phenomena deserving of more research. The paper demonstrates that for the data available the heat flux distribution tends to be more sensitive to TRI than the spectral intensity distribution. Another interesting finding is that TRI can reduce as well as enhance the spectral intensity.
hwloc: A Generic Framework for Managing Hardware Affinities in HPC Applications

The increasing numbers of cores, shared caches and memory nodes within machines introduces a complex hardware topology. High-performance computing applications now have to carefully adapt their placement and behavior according to the underlying hierarchy of hardware resources and their software affinities. We introduce the Hardware Locality (hwloc) software which gathers hardware information about processors, caches, memory nodes and more, and exposes it to applications and runtime systems in a abstracted and portable hierarchical manner. hwloc may significantly help performance by having runtime systems place their tasks or adapt their communication strategies depending on hardware affinities. We show that hwloc can already be used by popular high-performance OpenMP or MPI software. Indeed, scheduling OpenMP threads according to their affinities or placing MPI processes according to their communication patterns shows interesting performance improvement thanks to hwloc. An optimized MPI communication strategy may also be dynamically chosen according to the location of the communicating processes in the machine and its hardware characteristics.
