Published: July 2024

Abstract. On Dotson Ice Shelf, Antarctica, ice velocities derived from satellite image pairs and in-situ GPS measurements reveal an oscillating flow pattern that is correlated with tide height. The tidally-affected flow pattern is of limited extent, in an area near the Wunneberger Rock nunatak in the outflow of Kohler Glacier. Comparing variations in the region’s flow velocity derived from a series of 16-day repeat-pass Landsat 8 image pairs spanning 2014–2020, and a 64-hour GPS record in 2022 with the CATS2008 and TPXO9 tide-height models, indicates a significant correlation between tidal uplift and the direction of ice-flow. During high-tide periods the ice-shelf flows in a true north direction, while at low-tide periods flow direction shifts towards the northeast, marking an approximately 40˚ change in flow direction. GPS measurements describe a continuous corkscrew-like motion of the ice-shelf surface, confirming the link between tide height and ice-flow direction. We attribute the observed pattern to tidally controlled changes of buttressing along the ice-shelf margins and the fin-like shape of Wunneberger Rock. This leads to a dual pattern: (i) fast flow across the grounding line of the tributary Kohler Glacier during high tides aligning with Wunneberger Rock’s summit ridge; and (ii) slow flow during low tide height facing its flanks. We suggest that the link between tides and ice dynamics is related to the rapid ice-shelf thinning in the area. In light of the continued thinning of ice shelves surrounding Antarctica, we anticipate similar variations in flow direction and speed arising from changes in tidal influence on buttressing from pinning points and grounding zones.

Abstract. The ENSO system is a complex climate pattern that is crucial in global climate systems and plays a key role in climate prediction. Both statistical methods and numerical models have been dedicated to achieving accurate predictions of ENSO variations; however, there is still a considerable gap in practical applications. Therefore, we proposed a memory kernel function-based approach to solve the inverse problem of ENSO time-varying systems. We attempted to establish differential equations by constructing memory vectors composed of multiple initial values to describe the evolutionary characteristics of this complex system. Unlike traditional inverse problem-solving methods, our research scheme delved into the inherent properties exhibited by ENSO, such as memory and periodicity, and embedded these properties as specific targets in differential equations. By leveraging the flexibility of evolutionary algorithms to solve mathematical problems, we achieved targeted modeling of the ENSO system. The results demonstrate that this scheme overcomes the limitations of traditional differential equations with a single initial value and extends these equations to memory vector equations based on multiple initial values. This not only enhances our ability to describe the evolutionary laws of complex systems but also improves the timeliness and reliability of ENSO predictions, achieving encouraging results.

Abstract. This study investigated the computational benefits of using multi-fidelity uncertainty quantification (MFUQ) algorithms to quantify uncertainty in the mass change of Humboldt Glacier, Greenland, between 2007 and 2100 using a single climate change scenario. The goal of this study was to determine whether MFUQ can use multiple models of varying cost and accuracy to reduce the computational cost of estimating the mean and variance of the projected mass change of an ice sheet. The problem size and complexity were chosen to be representative of future continental scale studies while still facilitating a computationally feasible investigation of MFUQ methods. When quantifying uncertainty introduced by a high-dimensional parameterization of basal friction field, MFUQ was able to reduce the mean-squared error in the estimates of the statistics by well over an order of magnitude when compared to a single fidelity approach that only used the highest fidelity model. This significant reduction in computational cost was achieved despite the low-fidelity models used being incapable of capturing the local features of the ice flow fields predicted by the high-fidelity model. The MFUQ algorithms were able to effectively leverage the high correlation between each model's prediction of mass change, which all responded similarly to perturbations in the model inputs. Consequently, our results suggest that MFUQ could be highly useful for reducing the cost of computing continental scale probabilistic projections of sea-level rise due to ice-sheet mass change.

Authors: Putra Huraidi Darma , Laisouw Ruslan , Sultan Muzakir Hi. , Usman Hasanuddin
Published: July 2024

Most people are only familiar with functions that have been formulated explicitly y=f(x)) or implicitly (f(x,y)=0) However, functions obtained by researchers and engineers based on experimental data or field observations often do not have a known formula, and are therefore only represented in the form of tabulated discrete points. To determine the continuity of a tabulated function obtained from observational data, a function formula from the data is required. Consequently, the condition for the continuity of a function, where 〖lim〗┬(x→c)⁡〖f(x)=f(c)〗cannot be met. The problem in this research is to utilize data on the number of poor people from 2015-2021 and predict the monthly number of poor people using the Newton polynomial interpolation method with Maple. It also aims to prove the continuity of functions represented by tabulated discrete points by showing whether 〖lim〗┬(x→c)⁡〖p(x)=p(c)〗 or 〖lim〗┬(x→c)⁡〖p(x)≠p(c)〗. Based on the research results, it was found that Newton polynomial interpolation can be used to estimate the monthly number of poor people based on annual data, provided the conditions are met: the data represents a function, and the data table interval is changed to (1 )/12. The estimated function (Newton polynomial) p(x) obtained, in the form: (0.0121666) x^5-(122.7059942) x^4+ ( 4.950193546*〖10〗^5 ) x^3-( 0.985008654*〖10〗^8 ) x^2+(1.0070 35027*〖10〗^12)x-(4.062567218*〖10〗^14 ) has been proven to demonstrate the continuity of a function represented by tabulated discrete points by showing that 〖lim〗┬(x→c)⁡〖p(x)=p(c)〗 for each point.

Published: July 2024

The purpose of the work is a theoretical and experimental study of the effectiveness of combined shielding, including active and passive shielding using a continuous screen, of the magnetic field generated by single-circuit power lines with a triangular arrangement of wires inside multi-storey buildings. To achieve this goal, the structure of the combined screen has been determined, which consists of a double-circuit active and a U-shaped solid passive part and is characterized by increased efficiency in reducing the level of the industrial frequency magnetic field. Designing a combined screen comes down to solving a minimax vector optimization problem, in which the vector objective function is calculated based on solutions to Maxwell's equations in a quasi-stationary approximation using the COMSOL Multiphysics software package. The most important results are the values of the coordinates of the spatial location of two compensation windings, the magnitude of currents and their phases in these windings of the active shielding system, as well as the parameters of the U-shaped continuous passive screen, which made it possible to increase the efficiency of shielding the magnetic field generated by single-circuit lines, calculated during the design of the combined screen. Power transmission with a triangular arrangement of wires inside multi-storey buildings. The significance of the results obtained is that practical recommendations are given for the reasonable choice of the spatial arrangement of two shielding windings of a robust active shielding system and the parameters of a Ushaped continuous passive shield of combined shielding of the magnetic field generated by singlecircuit overhead power lines inside multi-storey buildings.

Published: July 2024

The widespread introduction of information technologies into all spheres of society, the creation of a significant amount of confidential and critical data in digital form leads to an increase in the priority of information security tasks everywhere, including in the energy sector, which relates to the critical infrastructure of any state. The purpose of the work is to develop the mentioned ap-proach to ensure the possibility of increasing the efficiency of information security methods based on it. The goal was achieved through a detailed study of disturbances in the values of formal parameters that uniquely determine the matrix that is assigned to the information security system under conditions of active attacks (disturbances) on the system. Singular numbers and singular vectors of the matrix are considered as such parameters. The most important result of the work is the substantiation of the existence and establishment of interconnected regions of stabilization of disturbances of singular numbers and singular vectors of the system matrix, while the region of stabilization of singular numbers corresponds to the region of monotonous decrease in their disturbances with increasing numbers, while the stabilization of singular vectors corresponds to the region in which their disturbances are comparable with 90 degrees. It is shown that the stabilization process is determined by the mathematical properties of the parame-ters under consideration. The significance of the obtained result lies in the possibility of using it to improve various information security systems that are built or studied using a general ap-proach to analyzing their state, both theoretically and practically. The work provides examples of such use.

To achieve the goal, an experimental electrical installation was developed, which applies in the technological process the CO2 modified atmosphere dehydration method. Carbon dioxide was used as a drying agent because it is harmless for food and for the human body, including even children and is often used in food industry. The researches were focused on the example of the local origin fruits dehydration, but in particular, peaches were selected as the main object of the research, because they are extremely sensitive to both storage and processing, and the current technologies applied in their case have low efficiency due to adverse reactions that cause processing defects. The essential problems in the dehydration of peaches are the oxidation of the superficial layer and the browning, which considerably reduce the quality of the finished products and also require an increased energy intake, and because of the mentioned shortcomings, these fruits are mainly used during the season, being mainly consumed fresh, nevertheless the dried fruits are of interest and are sought after by consumers the year-around. The main results obtained with the application of the elaborated installation are: increasing in the energy efficiency and the quality of the finished products. The significance of these results lies in the solution of the essential characteristic problems of the fruit dehydration process, which are currently faced by specialized companies in the respective field.

Published: July 2024

The aim of the study is to review the use of gas products of natural and synthetic origin and their future application prospects. To achieve this goal, a number of high-tech technologies were pre-sented and analyzed. The phase equilibrium parameters of inert and fluorine-containing gases were shown, as well as the temperature ranges in which certain refrigerants can be applied. Ex-amples of cooler schemes for providing rectification processes at 28 and 210 K were given. The processes of refrigeration cycles in T-s diagrams of neon and R116 (hexafluoroethane) were shown. Schemes of helium systems for heat removal at the level of 5…28 K were considered. The areas of application of Xe, Kr, Ne, and He in modern technologies, particularly in laser technology, space exploration, lamp industry, and medicine, were highlighted. The most signifi-cant result of the work is the determination of the important role of isotopic components of inert gases for the future of energy, functional diagnostics, metrology, and other fields. In semicon-ductor manufacturing, many inert gases are used as protective environments and working media in ion-plasma and ion-beam etching in vacuum chambers. In plasma chemical surface treatment, substances containing one or more halogen atoms act as active gases. The significance of the results achieved is evident in that, in the context of a global shortage of technical gases, the de-velopment of resource-saving technologies is becoming relevant. Among these, gas product re-cycling, where gas concentrates were obtained from used mixtures, enriched, and subjected to deep purification for the secondary use of target products, is the most promising.

Fragments of vascular plexuses obtained from adult domestic pigs (n=5) and Central European wild boar (n=5) were subjected to histological examination. It was found that in domestic pigs and Central European wild boar, the unpaired vascular bodies of the third and fourth ventricles, as well as paired bodies of its lateral ventricles, lie in the brain cavities. When studying their tissues, it was found that, regardless of their topography, they have an almost identical structure. They are based on connective tissue with elements of the vascular bed and nerve endings. The outer lining of the choroid plexuses is a single-layer epithelium formed by cubic and prismatic cells that secrete cerebrospinal fluid. The height of the latter depends on their secretory activity.

Untreated vaginal discharge is a risk factor for complications. Correct diagnosis is crucial. The purpose of this study was to apply Femoflor-16 to study the vaginal microbiome in women with genital tract discharge. Material/Methods: A total of 45 women were included in the study. Vaginal/cervical swab - one for routine tests and Gram staining and another for PCR Femoflor-16, were tested. Clinical diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis (BV) was done by using Amsel's criteria. Microbiologically, BV was assessed by applying a Nugent score system and Femoflor-16. Results: A total of 45 women with genital tract discharge were included in the study. Based on Amsel's clinical criteria, 9 (20%) of them were diagnosed with BV. Based on Nugent's score system, 11(24,4%) were categorized as having BV. Only 40 samples were compared, and the results were tested using Femoflor-16 and Nugent score system. Of them, 33 (83%) were in agreement as a result of using both methods. Femoflor-16 detected species such as aerobic bacteria (Enterobacteriасeae, Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp.), Mycoplasma spp., Ureaplasma spp. and yeast-like microorganisms (Candida spp.). Conclusions: A reliable, comprehensive, and on-time diagnosis of BV is needed. Nucleic acid amplification tests nowadays complement the "classic" laboratory methods. The real time multiplex PCR test Femoflor-16 can be effectively used in vaginal microbiota evaluation in women with discharge. It can identify a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria that are difficult to culture, normal Lactobacilli microflora and complex of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms, mycoplasmas and Candida spp. In addition, it is able to determine the number and ratio of microorganisms in the total bacterial mass, which further orients to the disease state and the role of the microorganism as an opportunistic or obligate pathogen.

Some Results of Data Encryption and Decryption using Euler’s Totient Function
Authors: Gobburi Rekha
Published: July 2024

In this paper, we discuss about the Hill Cipher cryptosystem, the RSA public-key cryptosystem, developed by Rivest, Shamir, Adleman for text encoding and decoding. To encrypt and decrypt the message, we use the Euler Phi-function, congruences, and matrix multiplication. Further, we employ two keys for coding and decoding.
Introduction: In present, computer networks, internet and mobile communications are important and inevitable part of our society and security of information from hackers is a big task. One of the most widely used applications for information security is Cryptography. Usually in Hill cipher there are two keys, of which one acts as encryption key and the other one acts as decryption key.  In this paper we discuss about Hill Cipher using only one key for data encryption and data decryption. Further, we extend our result with dual encryption and decryption process which is explained by using the RSA public key cryptosystem and Hill Cipher and they together execute a powerful cryptosystem to secure the data.
Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to obtain and compare the result of data encryption and data decryption using:

A matrix which is invertible.
A matrix which is Involutory.
An RSA cryptosystem which is applied for Hill Cipher where the matrix is Involutory.

Methods: Using Hill Cipher and thereafter Hill Cipher - RSA together we have encrypted and decrypted the data under modulo 255.
Results: The text message is converted to coded message and then original message is retrieved by using the three different techniques.
Conclusions: As the paper involves two stages of encryption and decryption where public key and private key which are unthinkable by the third parities, the security of information is highly appreciable.

Territorio, alimentación y conflicto armado en la vereda El Vergel, municipio de San Carlos, Antioquia
Authors: Ocampo Buitrago Yury Marcela
Published: July 2024

Este artículo es resultado de un estudio de caso con enfoque etnográfico y busca mostrar las transformaciones generadas por el conflicto armado en los procesos de producción, distribución, compra y consumo de alimentos en la vereda El Vergel de San Carlos, Antioquia (Colombia). Los datos recolectados mediante entrevistas, grupos focales y cartografía social se analizaron mediante categorías temporales y conceptuales. Los hallazgos mostraron formas particulares de cómo el conflicto armado generó rupturas en la relación con el territorio como espacio para las tareas cotidianas alimentarias, disminución en cultivos, daños en la infraestructura productiva y detrimento de las condiciones económicas, especialmente, por efecto del desplazamiento forzado. Se concluyó que el conflicto armado generó inseguridad alimentaria familiar y que, pese al retorno paulatino, los daños generados aún se manifiestan a nivel comunitario y familiar.
