Semantic-Aware Security Orchestration in SDN/NFV-Enabled IoT Systems
Authors: Molina Zarca Alejandro , Bagaa Miloud , Bernal Bernabe Jorge , Taleb Tarik , Skarmeta Antonio F.
Published: June 2020

IoT systems can be leveraged by Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technologies, thereby strengthening their overall flexibility, security and resilience. In this sense, adaptive and policy-based security frameworks for SDN/NFV-aware IoT systems can provide a remarkable added value for self-protection and self-healing, by orchestrating and enforcing dynamically security policies and associated Virtual Network Functions (VNF) or Virtual network Security Functions (VSF) according to the actual context. However, this security orchestration is subject to multiple possible inconsistencies between the policies to enforce, the already enforced management policies and the evolving status of the managed IoT system. In this regard, this paper presents a semantic-aware, zero-touch and policy-driven security orchestration framework for autonomic and conflict-less security orchestration in SDN/NFV-aware IoT scenarios while ensuring optimal allocation and Service Function Chaining (SFC) of VSF. The framework relies on Semantic technologies and considers the security policies and the evolving IoT system model to dynamically and formally detect any semantic conflict during the orchestration. In addition, our optimized SFC algorithm maximizes the QoS, security aspects and resources usage during VSF allocation. The orchestration security framework has been implemented and validated showing its feasibility and performance to detect the conflicts and optimally enforce the VSFs.
A Generalized Threat Model for Visual Sensor Networks
Authors: Simonjan Jennifer , Taurer Sebastian , Dieber Bernhard
Published: June 2020

Today, visual sensor networks (VSNs) are pervasively used in smart environments such as intelligent homes, industrial automation or surveillance. A major concern in the use of sensor networks in general is their reliability in the presence of security threats and cyberattacks. Compared to traditional networks, sensor networks typically face numerous additional vulnerabilities due to the dynamic and distributed network topology, the resource constrained nodes, the potentially large network scale and the lack of global network knowledge. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to launch more severe and complicated attacks. Since the state-of-the-art is lacking studies on vulnerabilities in VSNs, a thorough investigation of attacks that can be launched against VSNs is required. This paper presents a general threat model for the attack surfaces of visual sensor network applications and their components. The outlined threats are classified by the STRIDE taxonomy and their weaknesses are classified using CWE, a common taxonomy for security weaknesses.

Published: June 2020

The huge spreading of Internet of things (IoT)-oriented modern technologies is revolutionizing all fields of human activities, leading several benefits and allowing to strongly optimize classic productive processes. The agriculture field is also affected by these technological advances, resulting in better water and fertilizers’ usage and so huge improvements of both quality and yield of the crops. In this manuscript, the development of an IoT-based smart traceability and farm management system is described, which calibrates the irrigations and fertigation operations as a function of crop typology, growth phase, soil and environment parameters and weather information; a suitable software architecture was developed to support the system decision-making process, also based on data collected on-field by a properly designed solar-powered wireless sensor network (WSN). The WSN nodes were realized by using the ESP8266 NodeMCU module exploiting its microcontroller functionalities and Wi-Fi connectivity. Thanks to a properly sized solar power supply system and an optimized scheduling scheme, a long node autonomy was guaranteed, as experimentally verified by its power consumption measures, thus reducing WSN maintenance. In addition, a literature analysis on the most used wireless technologies for agri-food products’ traceability is reported, together with the design and testing of a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) low-cost sensor tag to be applied into the containers of agri-food products, just collected from the fields or already processed, to monitor the main parameters indicative of any failure or spoiling over time along the supply chain. A mobile application was developed for monitoring the tracking information and storing conditions of the agri-food products. Test results in real-operative scenarios demonstrate the proper operation of the BLE smart tag prototype and tracking system.
Power-Based Non-Intrusive Condition Monitoring for Terminal Device in Smart Grid
Authors: Zhang Guoming , Ji Xiaoyu , Li Yanjie , Xu Wenyuan
Published: June 2020

As a critical component in the smart grid, the Distribution Terminal Unit (DTU) dynamically adjusts the running status of the entire smart grid based on the collected electrical parameters to ensure the safe and stable operation of the smart grid. However, as a real-time embedded device, DTU has not only resource constraints but also specific requirements on real-time performance, thus, the traditional anomaly detection method cannot be deployed. To detect the tamper of the program running on DTU, we proposed a power-based non-intrusive condition monitoring method that collects and analyzes the power consumption of DTU using power sensors and machine learning (ML) techniques, the feasibility of this approach is that the power consumption is closely related to the executing code in CPUs, that is when the execution code is tampered with, the power consumption changes accordingly. To validate this idea, we set up a testbed based on DTU and simulated four types of imperceptible attacks that change the code running in ARM and DSP processors, respectively. We generate representative features and select lightweight ML algorithms to detect these attacks. We finally implemented the detection system on the windows and ubuntu platform and validated its effectiveness. The results show that the detection accuracy is up to 99.98% in a non-intrusive and lightweight way.
Challenges for Microelectronics in Non-Invasive Medical Diagnostics
Authors: Carminati Marco , Fiorini Carlo
Published: June 2020

Microelectronics is emerging, sometimes with changing fortunes, as a key enabling technology in diagnostics. This paper reviews some recent results and technical challenges which still need to be addressed in terms of the design of CMOS analog application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and their integration in the surrounding systems, in order to consolidate this technological paradigm. Open issues are discussed from two, apparently distant but complementary, points of view: micro-analytical devices, combining microfluidics with affinity bio-sensing, and gamma cameras for simultaneous multi-modal imaging, namely scintigraphy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The role of integrated circuits is central in both application domains. In portable analytical platforms, ASICs offer miniaturization and tackle the noise/power dissipation trade-off. The integration of CMOS chips with microfluidics poses multiple open technological issues. In multi-modal imaging, now that the compatibility of the acquisition chains (thousands of Silicon Photo-Multipliers channels) of gamma detectors with Tesla-level magnetic fields has been demonstrated, other development directions, enabled by microelectronics, can be envisioned in particular for single-photon emission tomography (SPECT): a faster and simplified operation, for instance, to allow transportable applications (bed-side) and hardware pre-processing that reduces the number of output signals and the image reconstruction time.

Authors: Taha Abd-Elhamid M. , Rashwan Abdulmonem M. , Hassanein Hossam S.
Published: June 2020

The importance of securing communications on the Internet of Things (IoT) cannot be overstated. This is especially the case in light of the increasing proliferation of IoT devices and instances, as well as the growing dependence on their usage. Meanwhile, there have recently been mounting concerns over a wide array of vulnerabilities in IoT communications. The objective of this work is to address constraints in IoT devices that are “resource-constrained”, which are devices that are limited in terms of computing, energy, communication, or range capabilities, whether in terms of nominal or temporal limitations. Specifically, we propose a framework for resource-aiding constrained devices to facilitate secure communication. Without loss of generalization, the framework’s viability is illustrated by focusing on a group of security functions that utilize message authentication codes, which is a strongly representative example of resource-intensive security functions. Aspects of the framework are further demonstrated in processing cores commonly used in commercial IoT devices.

Authors: Galimov Musa , Fedorenko Roman , Klimchik Alexander
Published: June 2020

Landing platforms’ automation is aimed at servicing vertical take-off and landing UAVs between flights and maintaining their airworthiness. Over the last few years, different designs for the landing platforms have been proposed. This shows a strong development and establishment of automatic landing platforms with UAV positioning devices on the landing site. Positioning and safe fixation of the UAV are some of the main features of the landing platform, especially if it is mounted on a movable vehicle. This article focuses exclusively on the landing platform and its elements that provide the positioning of the UAV by affecting it during and after the landing. Both active devices and mechanisms and passive elements used for positioning are considered. This article, based on the review of recent patents and publications, gives the classification of positioning approaches used in landing stations with the analysis of the required landing precision, as well as the pros and cons of each type of approach.
Design of an Edge-Detection CMOS Image Sensor with Built-in Mask Circuits
Authors: Jin Minhyun , Noh Hyeonseob , Song Minkyu , Kim Soo Youn
Published: June 2020

In this paper, we propose a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor (CIS) that has built-in mask circuits to selectively capture either edge-detection images or normal 8-bit images for low-power computer vision applications. To detect the edges of images in the CIS, neighboring column data are compared in in-column memories after column-parallel analog-to-digital conversion with the proposed mask. The proposed built-in mask circuits are implemented in the CIS without a complex image signal processer to obtain edge images with high speed and low power consumption. According to the measurement results, edge images were successfully obtained with a maximum frame rate of 60 fps. A prototype sensor with 1920 × 1440 resolution was fabricated with a 90-nm 1-poly 5-metal CIS process. The area of the 4-shared 4T-active pixel sensor was 1.4 × 1.4 µm2, and the chip size was 5.15 × 5.15 mm2. The total power consumption was 9.4 mW at 60 fps with supply voltages of 3.3 V (analog), 2.8 V (pixel), and 1.2 V (digital).
RNN-Aided Human Velocity Estimation from a Single IMU
Authors: Feigl Tobias , Kram Sebastian , Woller Philipp , Siddiqui Ramiz H. , Philippsen Michael , Mutschler Christopher
Published: June 2020

Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) uses inertial measurement units (IMUs) and combines velocity and orientation estimates to determine a position. The estimation of the velocity is still challenging, as the integration of noisy acceleration and angular speed signals over a long period of time causes large drifts. Classic approaches to estimate the velocity optimize for specific applications, sensor positions, and types of movement and require extensive parameter tuning. Our novel hybrid filter combines a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a bidirectional recurrent neural network (BLSTM) (that extract spatial features from the sensor signals and track their temporal relationships) with a linear Kalman filter (LKF) that improves the velocity estimates. Our experiments show the robustness against different movement states and changes in orientation, even in highly dynamic situations. We compare the new architecture with conventional, machine, and deep learning methods and show that from a single non-calibrated IMU, our novel architecture outperforms the state-of-the-art in terms of velocity (≤0.16 m/s) and traveled distance (≤3 m/km). It also generalizes well to different and varying movement speeds and provides accurate and precise velocity estimates.
Comparative Protective Efficacies of Novel Avian Paramyxovirus-Vectored Vaccines against Virulent Infectious Bronchitis Virus in Chickens
Authors: Shirvani Edris , Samal Siba K.
Published: June 2020

Viral vectored vaccines are desirable alternatives for conventional infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) vaccines. We have recently shown that a recombinant Newcastle disease virus (rNDV) strain LaSota expressing the spike (S) protein of IBV strain Mass-41 (rLaSota/IBV-S) was a promising vaccine candidate for IBV. Here we evaluated a novel chimeric rNDV/avian paramyxovirus serotype 2 (rNDV/APMV-2) as a vaccine vector against IBV. The rNDV/APMV-2 vector was chosen because it is much safer than the rNDV strain LaSota vector, particularly for young chicks and chicken embryos. In order to determine the effectiveness of this vector, a recombinant rNDV/APMV-2 expressing the S protein of IBV strain Mass-41 (rNDV/APMV-2/IBV-S) was constructed. The protective efficacy of this vector vaccine was compared to that of the rNDV vector vaccine. In one study, groups of one-day-old specific-pathogenic-free (SPF) chickens were immunized with rLaSota/IBV-S and rNDV/APMV-2/IBV-S and challenged four weeks later with the homologous highly virulent IBV strain Mass-41. In another study, groups of broiler chickens were single (at day one or three weeks of age) or prime-boost (prime at day one and boost at three weeks of age) immunized with rLaSota/IBV-S and/or rNDV-APMV-2/IBV-S. At weeks six of age, chickens were challenged with a highly virulent IBV strain Mass-41. Our challenge study showed that novel rNDV/APMV-2/IBV-S provided similar protection as rLaSota/IBV-S in SPF chickens. However, compared to prime-boost immunization of chickens with chimeric rNDV/APMV-2, rLaSota/IBV-S and/or a live IBV vaccine, single immunization of chickens with rLaSota/IBV-S, or live IBV vaccine provided better protection against IBV. In conclusion, we have developed the novel rNDV/APMV-2 vector expressing S protein of IBV that can be a safer vaccine against IB in chickens. Our results also suggest a single immunization with a LaSota vectored IBV vaccine candidate provides better protection than prime-boost immunization regimens.
Overview of the Development, Impacts, and Challenges of Live-Attenuated Oral Rotavirus Vaccines
Authors: Folorunso Olufemi Samuel , Sebolai Olihile M.
Published: June 2020

Safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness are paramount to vaccine development. Following the isolation of rotavirus particles in 1969 and its evidence as an aetiology of severe dehydrating diarrhoea in infants and young children worldwide, the quest to find not only an acceptable and reliable but cost-effective vaccine has continued until now. Four live-attenuated oral rotavirus vaccines (LAORoVs) (Rotarix®, RotaTeq®, Rotavac®, and RotaSIIL®) have been developed and licensed to be used against all forms of rotavirus-associated infection. The efficacy of these vaccines is more obvious in the high-income countries (HIC) compared with the low- to middle-income countries (LMICs); however, the impact is far exceeding in the low-income countries (LICs). Despite the rotavirus vaccine efficacy and effectiveness, more than 90 countries (mostly Asia, America, and Europe) are yet to implement any of these vaccines. Implementation of these vaccines has continued to suffer a setback in these countries due to the vaccine cost, policy, discharging of strategic preventive measures, and infrastructures. This review reappraises the impacts and effectiveness of the current live-attenuated oral rotavirus vaccines from many representative countries of the globe. It examines the problems associated with the low efficacy of these vaccines and the way forward. Lastly, forefront efforts put forward to develop initial procedures for oral rotavirus vaccines were examined and re-connected to today vaccines.

Published: June 2020

Rotaviruses (RVs) are the leading pathogens causing severe and acute diarrhea in children and animals. It is well known that sex contributes to shaping immune responses, thus it could also influence the incidence and severity of the RV infection. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of sexual dimorphism on RV infection and its antibody (Ab) immune response in a suckling rat model. Neonatal suckling rats were intragastrically RV-inoculated and clinical indexes derived from fecal samples, as well as immune variables were evaluated. Higher severity of diarrhea, fecal weight and viral elimination were observed in males compared to females (p < 0.05). Regarding the adaptative immunity, the RV shaped the immune response to lower IgG1 levels and an increased Th1/Th2-associated Ab response (p < 0.05). Although females had lower IgG2a levels than males (p < 0.05), the specific anti-RV antibody levels were not sex influenced. In fact, at this age the passive transfer of anti-RV antibodies through breast milk was the critical factor for clustering animals, independently of their sex. It can be concluded that male and female diarrhea severity in RV infection is slightly influenced by sexual dimorphism and is not associated with the specific immune response against the virus.

The sequence of non-structural protein NS1 of bluetongue virus (BTV), which contains immunodominant CD8+ T cell epitopes, is highly conserved among BTV serotypes, and has therefore become a major tool in the development of a universal BTV vaccine. In this work, we have engineered multiserotype BTV vaccine candidates based on recombinant chimpanzee adenovirus (ChAdOx1) and modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) vectors expressing the NS1 protein of BTV-4 or its truncated form NS1-Nt. A single dose of ChAdOx1-NS1 or ChAdOx1-NS1-Nt induced a moderate CD8+ T cell response and protected IFNAR(-/-) mice against a lethal dose of BTV-4/MOR09, a reassortant strain between BTV-1 and BTV-4, although the animals showed low viremia after infection. Furthermore, IFNAR(-/-) mice immunized with a single dose of ChAdOx1-NS1 were protected after challenge with a lethal dose of BTV-8 in absence of viremia nor clinical signs. Additionally, the heterologous prime-boost ChAdOx1/MVA expressing NS1 or NS1-Nt elicited a robust NS1 specific CD8+ T cell response and protected the animals against BTV-4/MOR09 even 16 weeks after immunization, with undetectable levels of viremia at any time after challenge. Subsequently, the best immunization strategy based on ChAdOx1/MVA-NS1 was assayed in sheep. Non-immunized animals presented fever and viremia levels up to 104 PFU/mL after infection. In contrast, although viremia was detected in immunized sheep, the level of virus in blood was 100 times lower than in non-immunized animals in absence of clinical signs.

To the question of occupational pathology developing under acceptable working conditions (on the example of workers of enterprises in the Russian Arctic)
Authors: Syurin S.
Published: June 2020

The purpose of the study is to investigate occupational pathology that develops under acceptable levels of harmful production factors. Results. It has been found that 0.77% of all cases of occupational diseases in 2007-2018 developed under acceptable working conditions in the enterprises of the Arctic (66 out of 8609 diseases). Their features were: 1) shortened length of service of the sick people (20.2 ± 1.5 years); 2) younger age (47.8 ± 1.2 years); 3) larger proportion of women among the sick people; 4) greater role of chemical factors and severity of work in the development of health disorders; 5) more frequent development of diseases among workers of certain professions; 6) different structure of classes and nosological forms of occupational diseases; 7) increased proportion of acute industrial poisoning in the structure of occupational diseases. Exposure to harmful production factors with exposure levels not exceeding hygiene standards became possible more often due to design flaws in machines, mechanisms and other equipment (54.5%). Detection of most occupational diseases in people working in acceptable working conditions took place because they sought medical help themselves due to deterioration of health (in 66.7% of cases). 59.9-66.2% of diseases in people working in harmful and dangerous working conditions were diagnosed according to the results of periodic medical examinations. Conclusion. There is a need for a deeper understanding of the causes and preventive methods of occupational health disorders that develop under acceptable working conditions.

Published: June 2020

In the 1950s - 1970s, the most important organizational form of higher education science was research institutes attached to higher education institutions. Having appeared in the 1920s, it proved effective. The first thematic laboratories were organized in Leningrad in 1956 at the Polytechnic Institute by Professor B.P. Konstantinov (who later became an academician) and the Electrotechnical Institute named after V.I. Ulyanov (Lenin) by Professor N.P. Bogoroditsky. The desire of scientists to increase efficiency of the research, to bring it closer to the practical needs of the national economy reflected in the organization of 13 research institutes at the Polytechnic Institute in 1963. In the 1950s - 1960s, the Leningrad State University had the previously formed research institutes: the Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics, Physical, Chemical, Biological and Physiological institutes, the Institute of the Earth’s Crust, the Geographical and Economic Institute. In 1959 – 1965, the University’s
scientists completed the research on 5,300 planned topics. They performed 3,017 separate experimental and theoretical research, prepared 785 textbooks and teaching aids, completed 543 dissertations, and conducted contractual work on 955 topics. Only in 1969, 3,500 research papers created by LSU scientists were published. Among them were 107 monographs and 74 textbooks. Creative collaboration with industry workers was an integral part of the activities of the Leningrad State University’s scientists. Many of the LSU collective’s research were directly related to production needs. In 1959, the collective of the Physical faculty concluded 32 contractual works and 19 agreements on
creative cooperation with industrial enterprises. In 1963, they performed research on 60 contractual topics for a total of 1,100,000 rubles, at the same time conducting 22 topics, provided by the agreements on the creative cooperation for a total amount of 1,300,000 rubles.

EVAPORATION PATTERNS IN FORESTS OF DIFFERENT AGES, SITE CONDITIONS, AND PRODUCTIVITY LEVELS
Authors: Karpechko Yu.V. , Kondratyev S.A. , Rodionov V.Z. , Shmakova M.V.
Published: June 2020

The paper analyzes the factors behind evaporation from a forest: foliage and solar irradiance. The patterns of foliage formation and its changes with age in forests of varying productivity are demonstrated. The limiting factor for stand growth and development in each type of forest is the energy resources available. The average radiation balance of a region being given, the stand productivity depends on the characteristics of the locality, which influence soil fertility and predetermine the forest type. The southwards enhancement of the quality class of a forest type with a rise in the radiation balance is associated with the growing share of foliage and intensification of biochemical processes. The share of foliage mass in the total biomass of the tree stand depends on the forest site conditions, quality class, and energy supply. Previously designed techniques have been applied to calculate age-related patterns of evaporation from forest sites of varying habitat conditions and productivity in middle and southern taiga. As the radiation balance grows, physical evaporation from forest areas increases, and the growing share of foliage in the tree stand’s total biomass enlarges transpiration by the stand in every forest type and quality class. Alteration of site conditions entails a change in the age-related pattern of evaporation and transpiration by the stand. Enhancement of site conditions and quality characteristics leads to an increase in evaporation in young and middle-aged forests, however in mature and over-mature forests this trend may be broken. The greatest evaporation and transpiration by the stand are observed at an age when current biomass increment is the highest and the amount of foliage is at maximum. According to our calculations, the age of maximum annual total evaporation and transpiration varies from 50 to 100 years depending on the forest site conditions
CALCULATION ACCURACY OF EVAPORATION AT DIFFERENT AVERAGING PERIODS BY OBSERVATION DATA IN THE SOUTHERNBALTIC
Authors: Averkiev A.S. , Dubravin V.F.
Published: June 2020

The evaporation or moisture flow in the boundary layer is one of important components in the ocean-atmosphere interaction system. The most commonly used formulas for calculating evaporation include standard hydrometeorological parameters — atmospheric pressure, wind speed, drop of humidity, and height, at which measurements are made, and the exchange rate of moisture, which also depends on these parameters. The correct method is to calculate moisture flow based on current or hourly parameter values and then average the flow values for the required period: day, month or year. In the absence of current data of observation parameters, flow values should be calculated based on averaged parameter values. In this case, the calculated values of evaporation strongly depend on the method and the averaging period. Using the example of rather long observation series (2002—2016) at stations in the Southern Baltic, a quantitative assessment of the effect of averaging on the calculated values of the moisture flow both for direct calculation from the current observation data and for averaged data is made. The probable explanations are given for a significant
variation in the calculated values of evaporation in the Baltic Sea by different authors. The coefficients for the correction of evaporation values obtained from the averaged values of hydrometeorological parameters are calculated. It is shown that averaging the parameters per day is acceptable with almost no loss of accuracy (error no more than 2-4 %). Averaging the values of hydrometeorological parameters over the period of a
month leads to an underestimation of the calculated evaporation values by 20-30 %. When averaging over a period of about a year, the error increases to 30-35 %. The conclusions and correction coefficients are valid for calculations of evaporation in the Baltic Sea and can be used in other areas of middle and high latitudes, where the evaporation values do not differ by orders of magnitude (tropics, equator, zones of significant variability of environmental parameters).

Gereja merupakan tempat peribadatan umat kristiani, di mana pada awalnya umat Kristen mengadakan pertemuan-pertemuan di rumah ibadah yang dikenal sebagai gereja rumah. Seiring dengan perkembangan zaman pada akhirnya dibuatlah bangunan gereja formal. Gereja tradisional berbeda dengan gereja modern, di mana gereja tradisional cenderung memiliki bentuk menyerupai salib dengan beratapkan kubah dan adanya menara, sementra itu seiring berkembangnya ilmu arsitektur, bentuk gereja menjadi lebih beragam di era modern sesuai dengan jamannya. Hal ini membangkitkan ciri gereja melalui corak fisiknya, yang senantiasa menjadi ciri penampilannya sesuai dengan masa perkembangannya. Gereja dibuat oleh masyarakat Kristiani Indonesia melalui karyanya di dalam melaksanakan ajaran Kristus. Dari observasi sumber primer dan sekunder, di Kota Bandung terdapat enam gereja yang memiliki bentuk beraneka ragam sesuai dengan lokasi gereja tersebut. Meskipun gereja merupakan tempat beribadah secara umum, tidak dipungkiri setiap gereja memiliki ciri khas. Ada gereja yang memiliki fasade modern, ada pula yang memiliki fasade yang mengacu pada adat istiadat penganutnya. Melalui metode survai arsitektural, penelitian ini berusaha menunjukkan wujud dan variasi dari fasade tersebut sesuai dengan latar belakangnya. Pada akhirnya, ditemukan bahwa selain aspek dogmatis, faktor alam lingkungan, iklim, kenyamanan dan beberapa faktor lain juga berperan dalam keputusan desain para perancang mewujudkan karya fasade gereja di Bandung.
