Authors: Mohammed Zubil Nurul Aida , Ahmad Zaki Nadia Akma
Published: March 2023

Many people have a poor level of emergency preparedness, especially in their home environment. A previous study has stated that only a small percentage of people were well prepared in case of an emergency happening in their home while others are either do not know what to do or do not even think about it. This ignorance can lead to a harmful accident. For example, if an emergency such as a kitchen fire happens and is poorly handled by the people in the house it can lead to bigger accidents such as fire outbreaks. Thus, this study aims to identify the requirement, design, and develop a mobile application that can help users learn about household emergencies and increase their preparedness level for emergencies. Compared to other mobile applications for an emergency, Safe House App provides multimedia elements such as videos, and quiz activity which can attract users to use the application more to learn about the household emergency. The methodology implemented for this study is the Agile Model. Functionality Evaluation is conducted on 10 respondents aged 18 and above and most of the respondents are satisfied with the overall performance of Safe House App and agree that Safe House App can help the user increase their emergency preparedness level and attract them to learn about the household emergency.
Development and validation of comprehensive closed formulas for atmospheric delay and altimetry correction in ground-based GNSS-R
Authors: Nikolaidou Thalia , Santos Marcelo , Williams Simon , Geremia-Nievinski Felipe
Published: March 2023

Radio wave propagation involved in Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is subject to atmospheric refraction. Even for ground-based tracking stations, in applications such as coastal sea-level altimetry, the interferometric or reflection-minus-direct effect might be significant. Although atmospheric propagation delays are best investigated numerically via raytracing, including reflections, such a procedure is not trivial. We have developed simpler closed formulas to account for atmospheric refraction in ground-based GNSS-R, validated against independent raytracing. We provide specific expressions for the two components of the atmospheric interferometric delay and corresponding altimetry correction components, parameterized in terms of refractivity and bending angle. Assessment results showed excellent agreement for both components. We define the interferometric slant factor used to map interferometric zenithal delays to individual satellites.

Published: March 2023

Yet, little is known about the direction of abnormal coupling in conjunction with its degree between joints—muscles—of interest. In this study, we address the directionality of pathological neural couplings between joints, and variability in the degree of them, in the  upper  extremity  post  stroke.  To  evaluate  the  direction  of interjoint  coupling,  joint  motion  and  muscle  activity  in  an involuntary mode while another joint—muscle—was voluntarily activated were assessed in comparison to those made in a volitional mode, focusing on the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints. Overall, involuntary activation of the wrist flexor in the stroke group is observed  when  muscles  of  a  more  proximal  joint  voluntarily activate (p < 0.1 and p <0.05), while activation of the wrist flexor does not lead to involuntary activation of the shoulder muscles and elbow flexor, in comparison to the healthy group. In particular, in the  stroke  group  who  is  assumed  to  have  a  severe  loss  of  the corticospinal system, the wrist extensor is subordinately activated by those about the other joints voluntarily activated (p < 0.05) while it does not cause activations of those about the other joints. These findings indicate that stroke-caused synergies could be directional.

Authors: Ghourab Esraa M. , Jaafar Wael , Bariah Lina , Naser Shimaa , Muhaidat Sami , Yanikomeroglu Halim
Published: March 2023

Fifth-generation and beyond (5G and xG) wireless networks are envisioned to meet the requirements of vertical applications like high traffic throughput, ultra-massive connectivity, extremely low latency, and high quality of service. Disruptive technologies, such as massive multiple-input multiple-output, millimeter wave, and multiple access are being deployed to meet these requirements. However, their deployment poses several challenges, including a lack of network transparency, management decentralization, and reliability. Moreover, the heterogeneity of future networks raises security concerns, e.g., confidentiality, privacy, and trustworthiness. Indeed, due to the emergence of novel paradigms, e.g., quantum computing, traditional security approaches are no longer sufficient to protect over-the-air communications. Hence, 5G/xG networks must consider smart security techniques to operate seamlessly and efficiently. Within this context, physical layer security (PLS) and blockchain represent promising solutions to complement existing methods. By exploiting the characteristics of wireless links, PLS can enhance the security of communications, while blockchain may enable networks' decentralization, integrity, and trustworthiness. Motivated by these advancements, we provide an in-depth review of the existing PLS and blockchain literature. Then, for the first time in the literature, we present a framework to integrate PLS with blockchain in 5G/xG systems. We first provide a thorough discussion about the potential of PLS and blockchain for 5G/xG systems. Then, we present our vision of a cross-layer architecture that leverages PLS and blockchain. Through a case study, we demonstrate the high potential of cross-layer design to improve the security of vehicular networks. Finally, we identify related challenges and shed light on future research directions.
Analysis of stochastic mutation in the evolution of bidding behavior for power generation enterprises
Authors: Mo Jun , Ren Xiwang , Yang Hui
Published: March 2023

In the bidding process in the power generation market, enterprises often exhibit speculative behaviors due to the loopholes in bidding rules. To explore the evolution of power generation enterprises from a benign bidding state to a speculative bidding state, an evolutionary game model is established. Based on the replicator dynamics equation, an evolutionary game model of a power generation market containing multiple power generation enterprise groups with different bidding strategies is constructed by introducing the relationship factors of the strategies. Then, to analyze the internal mechanism of the outbreak of speculative behavior, the replicator dynamics equation is transformed into a classical sharp point mutation model. On this basis, Gaussian white noise is introduced to construct the stochastic catastrophe model. The influence of the random disturbance term on the stability of the bidding behavior of enterprises is discussed from the perspective of the trajectory difference between the analytical solution and the numerical solution of the stochastic differential equation. The results show that the final decision state of the group strategy and the convergence time of group evolution to this state depend on the value of the strategy relationship factor. The emergence of random disturbances will lead to heterogeneous decision-making actions within the group. That is, the evolution of the group will fluctuate near the strategic equilibrium point. The difference between the analytical solution and the numerical solution of the stochastic catastrophe model can increase the possibility of a sudden change in the bidding strategy state and thereby decrease the stability of the bidding behavior.
A Radar that Multilaterates Targets Using a Sparse Array of Multiple Outs
Authors: Catlin Jason
Published: March 2023

A completely new radar architecture is proposed with the goal of sensing accurately the azimuth and elevation of many targets, in a highly cluttered environment, with a high field of view.  This proposal does away with beamforming altogether, and instead has a sparse array of Multiple Outs.  Many different antennas multilaterate the target positions.  This requires solving a combinatorial puzzle about which hits came from which targets.  The algorithm solves this puzzle, even for more than a hundred targets.  This is a general radar architecture, but it’s designed with Autonomous Vehicles heavily in mind.  Simulated results look promising.
Exponential Distance Transform Maps for Cell Localization
Authors: Li Bo , Chen Jie , Yi Hang , Feng Min , Yang Yongquan , Bu Hong
Published: March 2023

Cell localization is an important area of medical image analysis, which is dedicated to predicting the precise location of cells in an image. The existing localization paradigm is to predict the density map using a Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) model based on vanilla convolution and then process the density map using a local maximum search strategy to obtain the cell location and number information. However, there are three main problems in this paradigm: 1) CNN models based on vanilla convolution have difficulty in handling large variations in cell color; 2) The density map is difficult to provide accurate cell location information and ideal gradient information, and the information loss is more obvious in dense regions; 3) The post-processing strategy of density maps is susceptible to background noise and mutual interference between negative and positive cells. To tackle the above issues, we have made a comprehensive update of the existing paradigm, which consists of three parts: 1) A multi-scale gradient aggregation module based on difference convolution to effectively mitigate the challenge of large variations in cell color; 2) A new exponential distance transform map that provides accurate cell location information along with ideal gradient information for model learning; 3) A post-processing strategy named cell center localization strategy based on location maps that can significantly improve the localization performance. Extensive experiments on multiple datasets show that our approach can substantially improve cell localization and counting performance, establishing a new baseline for the cell localization task, and thereby increasing the efficiency of computer-aided diagnosis.

We present a new look at teaching the Laplace transform for engineering students by emphasizing the obsolescence of the traditional method of finding the inverse Laplace transform when solving differential equations, and by recognizing the important role of a CAS-assisted environment in helping the students understand the basic concepts of the Laplace transform, instead of asking the students to repeat computational processes by hand.
Deep Learning based SEM image Denoising Approaches for Improving Metrology and Inspection of Thin Resists
Authors: Dey Bappaditya
Published: March 2023

As semiconductor manufacturing is moving towards 3 nm nodes and beyond, the development of advanced metrology techniques to control the quality of fabricated features on silicon wafers is becoming more and more crucial. Among the popular metrology methods, Scanning Electron Microscopy is one of the most important techniques since it can produce images with resolutions as low as a few nanometers. Thus, SEM is very suitable to inspect the critical dimension of nanoscale printed structures. However, CD-SEM images intrinsically contain a significant amount of background noise due to various sources. This background noise can lead to inaccurate metrology and erroneous defect detection. There is a significant requisite to reduce the noise signal in CD-SEM images while keeping the actual morphology of the pattern feature unaltered. In this paper, we proposed two deep learning-based methods to denoise SEM images, one based on (1) supervised/semi-supervised learning technique, and the other based on (2) unsupervised learning. The two proposed methods were experimented with different noisy SEM images of categorically different geometrical patterns and have demonstrated exceptional performance in reducing noise both qualitatively and quantitatively. We also have demonstrated how our proposed deep learning denoiser is applicable towards challenging application scenarios such as defect inspection and contour extraction, specifically with thin resists, with significantly improved accuracy. First, we have validated that our proposed denoising techniques, especially the unsupervised model, are effective. The unsupervised training scheme also requires single noisy acquisitions to train denoising CNNs without any ground-truth or synthetic images, against previous supervised/semi-supervised data greedy approaches. Second, the proposed deep learning denoiser assisted framework allows improved defect inspection and contour extraction with thin resists. The goal of this work is to establish a robust de-noising technique to reduce the dependency of SEM image acquisition settings and to extract repeatable and accurate CDSEM metrology information for high NA EUV. Finally, the limitations of our proposed approaches and how to overcome them were also thoroughly discussed.

Caching Through the Skies: The Case of LEO Satellites Connected Edges for 6G and Beyond
Authors: Abdellatif Basem , Shibl Mostafa , Khattab Tamer , Tadrous John , ElFouly Tarek , Zorba Nizar
Published: March 2023

The deployment of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites with terrestrial networks can potentially increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of relaying content from a data center to a set of edge caches hosted by 6G and beyond enabled macro base stations. In this work, the characteristics of the communication system and the mobility of LEO satellites are thoroughly discussed to describe the channel characteristics of LEO satellites, in terms of their frequency bands, latency, Doppler shifts, fading effects, and satellite access. Three different scenarios are proposed for the relay of data from data centers to edge caches via LEO satellites, which are the "Immediate Forward", "Relay and Forward", and "Store and Forward" scenarios. A comparative problem formulation is utilized to obtain numerical results from simulations to demonstrate the effectiveness and validity as well as the trade-offs of the proposed system model. The simulation results indicate that the integration of LEO satellites in edge caching for 6G and beyond networks decreased the required transmission power for relaying the data from the data center to the edge caches. Future research directions based on the proposed model are discussed.
Resource-efficient PUF Implementation Through FPGA Resource Re-utilization
Authors: Vega Christopher
Published: March 2023

The Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) market has seen significant growth due to the low cost and reduced time to market when compared to ASIC circuits. However, FPGAs' reconfigurable nature introduces security vulnerabilities that can be exploited by adversaries to obtain sensitive information. Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) have shown to be valuable security primitives. By leveraging manufacturing variations in a device one can generate unique signatures that can be used for authentication and generation of secret keys. However, PUF implementation can be costly, taking up FPGA resources and requiring long design times. In this paper, we propose a method which takes advantage of the FPGA Look Up Table (LUT) architecture to embed the PUF into functional logic circuits, reducing the cost and design time. We provide detailed implementation guidelines and evaluate the PUF's signature quality and stability under different environmental variations using a set of testbench circuits. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in securing FPGA designs while reducing implementation costs and design time. 
A tutorial on Underwater Quantum Key distribution

Published: March 2023

The growing importance of Underwater Networks (UNs) in mission-critical activities at sea enforces the need for secure Underwater Communications (UCs). Classical encryption techniques can be used to achieve secure data exchange in UNs. However, the advent of Quantum Computing will pose threats to classical cryptography, thus challenging also UCs. Currently, underwater crypto-systems mostly adopt symmetric ciphers, which are considered computationally quantum-robust, but pose the challenge of distributing the secret key upfront. A promising approach to overcome the key distribution problem is based on Post-Quantum Public-Key (PQPK) protocols. The security of PQPK protocols, however, only relies on the assumed computational complexity of some underlying mathematical problems. Moreover, the use of resource hungry PQPK algorithms in resource-constrained environments such as UNs can require non-trivial hardware/software optimization efforts. An alternative approach is underwater Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), which promises unconditional security built upon the physical principles of Quantum Mechanics. This tutorial provides a basic introduction to free-space Underwater QKD (UQKD). At first, the basic concepts of QKD are presented, based on a fully worked out QKD example. A thorough state-of-the-art analysis of UQKD is carried out. The paper subsequently provides a theoretical analysis of the QKD performance through free-space underwater channels, and its dependence on the key optical parameters of the system and seawater. Finally, open challenges, points of strength and perspectives of UQKD are identified and discussed.
BlockCompass: A benchmarking platform for blockchain performance
Authors: Rasolroveicy Mohammadreza , Haouari Wejdene , Fokaefs Marios
Published: March 2023

Blockchain technology has gained momentum among researchers and other stakeholders due to its immutability and transparency. Several blockchain platforms with different kinds of consensus protocols have been proposed. However, this makes choosing and configuring such a platform, a non-trivial task. Several benchmarking tools have been presented to test the performance of blockchain solutions. However, these solutions are either limited to specific blockchain platforms or require complex configurations. Moreover, they tend to focus on transactional evaluation models, which may be counter-intuitive for longer-running instances under continuous workloads. In this work, we present BlockCompass, an all-inclusive blockchain benchmarking tool that can be easily configured and extended. We demonstrate how BlockCompass can evaluate the performance of a variety of blockchain platforms and configurations, including Ethereum Proof-of-Authority, Ethereum Proof-of-Work, Hyperledger Fabric Raft, Hyperledger Sawtooth with Proof-of-Elapsed-Time, Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance and Raft consensus algorithms against workloads that continuously fluctuate over time. We also present the results of a usability study about the convenience and facility offered by BlockCompass in blockchain benchmarking.

Authors: Pei Yinan , Mansouri Mahshid , Zallek Christopher M. , T. Hsiao-Wecksler Elizabeth
Published: March 2023

The goal of this study was to validate a series elastic actuator (SEA)-based robotic arm that can mimic three abnormal muscle behaviors, namely lead-pipe rigidity, cogwheel rigidity, and spasticity for medical education training purposes. Key characteristics of each muscle behavior were first modeled mathematically based on clinically-observed data across severity levels. A controller that incorporated feedback, feedforward, and disturbance observer schemes was implemented to deliver haptic target muscle resistive torques to the trainee during passive stretch assessments of the robotic arm. A series of benchtop tests across all behaviors and severity levels were conducted to validate the torque estimation accuracy of the custom SEA (RMSE: ~ 0.16 Nm) and the torque tracking performance of the controller (torque error percentage: < 2.8 %). A clinical validation study was performed with seven experienced clinicians to collect feedback on the task trainer’s simulation realism via a Classification Test (CT) and a Disclosed Assessment Test (DAT). In the CT, subjects were able to classify different muscle behaviors with a mean accuracy > 87 % and could further distinguish severity level within each behavior satisfactorily. In the DAT, subjects generally agreed with the simulation realism and provided suggestions on haptic behaviors for future iterations. Overall, subjects scored 4.9 out of 5 for the potential usefulness of this device as a medical education tool for students to learn spasticity and rigidity assessment.

Security is always a prime concern of every cloud user. Many pioneer surveys have been done concerning security during data communication among owners, users, and stakeholders. However, there is a lack of literature surveys that address the concern of security during data processing or the workload execution within cloud data centers. In this context, we present a concise review of the existing methods that have addressed the security of workload or user data during load scheduling and execution within cloud environments. These methods have applied load-balancing strategies that helped to minimize the security attacks via co-residency or covert channels. The pandect comparative summary of these methods follows the corresponding review. The paper is concluded with limitations and future direction concerning secure load management.

Authors: Sukardi Sukardi
Published: March 2023

This study aims to analyze prospective teachers’ map of competency development; the effectiveness of the substance of education in various fields of study that supports the strengthening of prospective teachers’ entrepreneurial competencies and skills (startup businesses) after graduation; and the suitability of students’ entrepreneurial competency development quadrant. Methodologically, this study used survey method. It involved 1.298 third and upper semester students of University of Mataram’s Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP), who were determined using accidental proportional sampling. The dimensions and the instruments of this research were adapted from the instruments developed by Bikse and Reimera, which include: ability to learn and act independently, set goals and act in a creative way, ability to analyze and plan further action, to take the initiative and responsibility, cooperate and work in a team, assess and classify the information, and find the problem and plan the solution. All data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). The results of the study indicate that efforts to strengthen entrepreneurial competencies, especially in selecting, summarizing, and presenting informations, have been made. However, the skills required to take initiative and direct personal responsibility are still not sufficiently developed. The findings of this study also show that prospective teachers are not completely well-prepared for the challenges in the labor market. Prospective teachers acquired moderate or even low-level theoretical knowledge and practical skills. This is confirmed by the results of Importance Performance Analysis which demonstrate that the entrepreneurial competency development is yet to be optimal. Almost all aspects of entrepreneurial competency development fall within quadrant I.

Published: March 2023

Suatu tindak pidana tidak hanya dilakukan oleh pelaku yang sempurna akalnya, tetapi dapat pula dilakukan oleh orang dengan gangguan jiwa (ODGJ). Pada praktiknya, hakim pada putusannya kerap hanya terbatas kepada menjatuhkan putusan kepada terdakwa ODGJ dengan tidak dijatuhi pidana dan lepas dari segala tuntutan karena tidak dapat mempertanggungjawabkan perbuatannya. Akhirnya, ODGJ dilepas begitu saja, sedangkan ia membutuhkan perawatan mental khususnya. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan jenis dan sumber bahan hukum diperoleh dari data sekunder yang dikumpulkan melalui studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hak asasi bagi ODGJ yang melakukan tindak pidana sama halnya dengan manusia yang akalnya sempurna sebagai warga Negara. Perlindungan hukum bagi ODGJ yang melakukan tindak pidana secara normatif adalah baginya tidak dipidana atas alasan pemaaf karena tidak dapat mempertanggungjawabkan perbuatannya. Pengaturan tanggung jawab negara pasca pemidanaan ODGJ tidak tercantum khususnya pada KUHP, karena pada praktiknya putusan hakim hanya terbatas kepada amar bahwa terdakwa ODGJ tidak dijatuhi pidana karena tidak dapat mempertanggungjawabkan perbuatannya dan lepas dari segala tuntutan atas alasan pemaaf termasuk terbatas hanya kepada apa yang dituntut Jaksa Penuntut Umum. Dalam pengaturannya kedepan, KUHP perlu direformulasi terkait subjek pelaku tindak pidana perseorangan yang menderita gangguan jiwa dan sanksi tindakan bagi ODGJ.
