Transparency of SIM profiles for the consumer remote SIM provisioning protocol
Authors: Ahmed Abu Shohel , Thakur Mukesh , Paavolainen Santeri , Aura Tuomas 
Published: August 2020

AbstractIn mobile communication, User Equipment (UE) authenticates a subscriber to a Mobile Network Operator (MNO) using credentials from the MNO specified SIM profile that is securely stored inside the SIM card. Traditionally, a change in a subscriber’s SIM profile, such as a change in a subscription, requires replacement of the physical SIM card. To address this shortcoming, the GSM Association (GSMA) has specified the consumer Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) protocol. The protocol enables remote provisioning of SIM profiles from a server to SIM cards, also known as the embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC). In RSP, any GSMA-certified server is trusted by all eUICCs, and consequently any server can provision SIM profiles to all eUICCs, even those not originating from the MNO associated with the GSMA-certified RSP server. Consequently, an attacker, by compromising a server, can clone a genuine SIM profile and provision it to other eUICCs. To address this security problem, we present SIM Profile Transparency Protocol (SPTP) to detect malicious provisioning of SIM profiles. SPTP assures to the eUICC and the MNO that all SIM provisioning actions—both approved and unapproved—leave a permanent, non-repudiatable trail. We evaluate security guarantees provided by SPTP using a formal model, implement a prototype for SPTP, and evaluate the prototype against a set of practical requirements.

AbstractDue to the difficulty that the compressive strength of cement slurries formulated with bentonite are not stable at elevated temperature conditions, in addition to other properties at high temperatures, Mucuna solannie commonly known as “Ukpo” was examined as an alternative. API standard procedures were employed throughout the laboratory measurements to determine overall rheological properties, compressive strength, thickening time, and free water of the extenders both at 150 °F (65.6 °C) and 200 °F (93.3 °C) BHCT. Mucuna solannie results gave compressive strength at 24 h as 952 psi (6.56E+6 Pa) and 900 psi (6.21E+6 Pa), free water values of 0 and 0.2 ml, yield point values of 67 lb/100ft2 (32.08 Pa) and 66 lb/100ft2 (31.60 Pa), and 10 min gel strength of 16 lb/100ft2 (7.66 Pa) and 22 lb/100ft2 (10.53 Pa). Bentonite additive gave 24 h compressive strength as 620 psi (4.27E+6 Pa) and 565 psi (3.9E+6 Pa), free water of 4.4 and 4.8 ml, yield point of 56 lb/100ft2 (26.81 Pa) and 46 lb/100ft2 (22.02 Pa), and 10 min gel strength of 16 lb/100ft2 (7.66 Pa) This showed that Mucuna solannie is a better alternative cement extender than Bentonite, especially where optimum free water and compressive strength are needed. Although it is found to be lacking in efficient plastic viscosity and thickening time, it can be resolved by the use of additives such as dispersant and accelerator to complement its properties.
Apidologie 50 years

Published: August 2020

AbstractSince its foundation, Apidologie has steadily gained recognition as a journal that reports results from high-quality scientific research on the biology of bees, and this means Apidae in general, not only on its most prominent species, the Western honey bee, Apis mellifera. All started 50 years ago in a conversation between two eminent scientists, Jean Louveaux, director of one of INRA’s bee research unit in Bures-sur-Yvette and editor of the French Annales de l’Abeille, and Friedrich Ruttner, director of the Bee Research Institute in Oberursel and editor of the German Zeitschrift für Bienenforschung, where they discussed the possibility of merging these two journals to create an international bee research journal. Here, we take Apidologie’s 50th anniversary as an opportunity to provide our readers with background information on the journal’s history, especially on the persons and their contributions along this journey.

ZusammenfassungWie verhielt sich Johann Jakob Bachofen, der unablässig den Wahrheitsgehalt klassischer oder auch wildfremder Mythen zu rehabilitieren versuchte, zur Gründungssage seines eigenen Lands? Wie zu den immer lauter gewordenen Zweifeln an ihrem Sachgehalt? Und sieht man seinem Hauptwerk an, dass es einer geschrieben hat, der zumal von ihrer Schiller’schen Aufbereitung geprägt sein musste? Oder in welcher Beziehung steht seine Theorie vom einstigen Mutterrecht des antiken Kulturraums zu den Vorstellungen, die Schiller sich und der Nachwelt von den alten Schweizern und Schweizerinnen machte? Die notgedrungen nur noch spekulative Antwort auf diese letzte Frage wirft immerhin ein Licht auf die Geschlechterverhältnisse in Schillers Wilhelm Tell und dessen wichtigster Quelle, die auch Bachofen nachweislich bekannt war.

ZusammenfassungDer Aufsatz untersucht die Konzeption der Stimme des Gewissens in den Prosaschriften Kants und Schillers. Ausgehend von neueren, theoretischen Ansätzen wird danach gefragt, wie die Stimme des Gewissens am Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts und unter modernen Voraussetzungen im Medium der Prosa gedacht wird. Mit dem Auftritt moderner Subjektivität stellt die Reflexion auf die innere Stimme, die nicht die eigentümliche des Subjekts ist, aber doch in ihm ruht und dessen Handeln mitbestimmt, vor besondere Herausforderungen, die in unterschiedlichen Ansätzen angegangen werden. In der Reflexion auf eine der Darstellung unverfügbare Stimme als substanzieller Bedingungsmöglichkeit von freiheitlicher Subjektivität, so die Überlegung, lassen sich die Möglichkeiten der Kommunikation über das Gewissen unter modernen Bedingungen aufzeigen.
Targeting Knife-Enabled Homicides for Preventive Policing: A Stratified Resource Allocation Model
Authors: Harinam Vincent , Sherman Lawrence W. 
Published: August 2020

AbstractResearch QuestionHow can police translate differing risk levels for knife homicide into a resource allocation model that follows the evidence?DataThe data for this publication are taken from the open access tables published in this journal by Massey et al.Cambridge Journal of Evidence-Based Policing, 3:1-20, (2019). Those data show the linear relationship between the number of non-fatal knife assaults in a lower super output area (LSOA) in 1 year and the risk of a knife-enable homicide in the subsequent year, as well as how many of the 4835 LSOAs fell into each of five levels of increasing homicide risk.MethodsThe data from Massey’s research are re-calculated to show how a hypothetical number of 15-min police patrols could be allocated across all areas on the basis of acombinationof knife-enabled (KE) homicide risk level and the volume of LSOAs at each of the five levels of knife homicide risk. We display these results using both tables and multi-layered “wedding cake” images to show the size of different dimensions of each level, including proportion of total homicides and directed patrol frequency per LSOA at each of the five risk levels.FindingsBased on the hypothetical allocation of 10,000 patrol visits of 15 min in length, the highest risk group, with a forecasted 6% of all KE homicides, would receive 600 police patrols, divided by the 41 LSOAs at that risk level = 15 patrols across every 10 days. At the lowest level of risk, the 2787 LSOAs would share the 3000 patrols that a group of LSOAs would recieve for having 30% of homicides, which equals 1.1 patrols every 10 days. The hypothetical premise is that every LSOA gets some patrol, but the highest risk areas get 15 times more patrol to follow the evidence of risk. The formula is to (1) allocate resources by proportion of homicide at each risk level; (2) divide the allocated resources by the number of areas in each risk level group; and (3) allocate the resulting resources per day to each area in each of the 5 levels.ConclusionPolice face difficult tradeoffs between targeting more policing tofewerareas of higher risk (with more efficiency) or tomoreareas of lower risk (with more effectiveness). The use of a formula combining risk and volume can help guide such decisions, illustrated by a layered “wedding cake” visualization for gaining clarity and legitimacy in communications.

Abstract
Solar energy, which is essential for the origin and evolution of all life forms on Earth, can be objectively recorded through attributes such as climatic ambient temperature (CAT), ultraviolet radiation (UVR), and sunlight duration (SD). These attributes have specific geographical variations and may cause different adaptation traits. However, the adaptation profile of each attribute and the selective role of solar energy as a whole during human evolution remain elusive. Here, we performed a genome-wide adaptation study with respect to CAT, UVR, and SD using the Human Genome Diversity Project-Centre Etude Polymorphism Humain (HGDP-CEPH) panel data. We singled out CAT as the most important driving force with the highest number of adaptive loci (6 SNPs at the genome-wide 1 × 10−7 level; 401 at the suggestive 1 × 10−5 level). Five of the six genome-wide significant adaptation SNPs were successfully replicated in an independent Chinese population (N = 1395). The corresponding 316 CAT adaptation genes were mostly involved in development and immunity. In addition, 265 (84%) genes were related to at least one genome-wide association study (GWAS)-mapped human trait, being significantly enriched in anthropometric loci such as those associated with body mass index (χ2; P &lt; 0.005), immunity, metabolic syndrome, and cancer (χ2; P &lt; 0.05). For these adaptive SNPs, balancing selection was evident in Euro-Asians, whereas obvious positive and/or purifying selection was observed in Africans. Taken together, our study indicates that CAT is the most important attribute of solar energy that has driven genetic adaptation in development and immunity among global human populations. It also supports the non-neutral hypothesis for the origin of disease-predisposition alleles in common diseases.
Is Existence Value Appropriate for Regulatory Benefit–Cost Analysis?
Authors: Binder Seth 
Published: August 2020

AbstractSince its introduction to the field of environmental and natural resource economics in the late 1960s, existence value has faced several critiques from economists, psychologists, and philosophers. Critics have taken aim at the notion’s conceptual ambiguity and lack of connection to observable behavior, its incompatibility with cognitive processes and its sensitivity to cognitive biases, and ethical shortcomings in applying existence values to environmental decisionmaking. Unlike some critiques of existence value that draw on cognitive and ethical frameworks for decisionmaking fundamentally at odds with stated preference methods and benefit–cost analysis (BCA), this paper takes as given the use and adequacy of both. It focuses on challenges to existence value per se, with respect to the ability of existence value estimates to contribute to benefit–cost analyses in a way that is consistent with qualities of BCA that its proponents value: the objectivity, commensurability, and moral salience of the values analyzed. In light of the challenges, inclusion of existence value in benefit–cost analyses is found to inevitably compromise the quality of the BCA with respect to each criterion.

AbstractThe declaration of a COVID-19 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome – CoronaVirus2) pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020 has vastly changed the landscape in which mental health services function. Consideration is required to adapt services during this unusual time, ensuring continued provision of care for current patients, availability of care for patients with new-onset mental health difficulties and delivery of evidence-based support for healthcare professionals working with affected patients. Lessons can be learned from research carried out during the severe acute respiratory syndrome, Middle East respiratory syndrome and Ebola epidemics to ensure the delivery of efficient and effective mental health services both now and into the future.

AbstractSugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption has been associated with visceral fat partitioning in adults; however, the underlying mechanisms in childhood remain unclear and warrant exploration. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between SSB consumption and body fat in children aged 9–13 years and the potential modifying effect of children’s sex and serum cortisol levels. A sample of 2665 Greek schoolchildren participated in the ‘Healthy Growth Study’, and anthropometric, body composition, dietary intake and serum cortisol data were assessed. SSB consumption was defined as low (<1 serving/d), medium (1–2 servings/d) or high (>2 servings/d). We used linear regression models to assess the association between SSB consumption and measures of adiposity and to assess effect modification; models were stratified by sex and tertiles of morning serum cortisol. A significant positive association was observed between high SSB consumption and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) (β= 1·4, 95 % CI 0·4, 2·3,P= 0·01) but not BMI or BMIz-score. When stratified by sex, the association was observed in boys (β= 1·8, 95 % CI 0·3, 3·4,P= 0·02) but not in girls. When stratified by cortisol levels, SSB consumption was associated with VAT in children with cortisol levels in the lowest tertile (β= 2·8, 95 % CI 1·0, 4·6,P< 0·01). These results indicate that increased SSB consumption is associated with visceral adiposity in schoolchildren and this association may be modified by sex and morning serum cortisol. To prevent VAT accumulation and concomitant disease risk, dietary interventions should target SSB consumption during childhood.

AbstractThe goal of this study was to study the distribution of potential habitat markers (Sr/Ca, Ba/Ca, Mn/Ca and Li/Ca) in water from the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex (Brazil) and to study habitat use patterns ofCathorops spixiithrough ontogeny employing otolith microchemistry. Fish were caught from three sampling sites while water samples were collected at eight stations covering a salinity range from 4.5–33. Elemental concentrations in otolith and water were determined by LA-ICP-MS and ICP-MS, respectively. When the relationship between salinity and elements or ratios in water was studied, significant positive relationships were found for Sr, Li, Ca, Sr/Ca, and negative for Ba, Mn, Ba/Ca and Mn/Ca (P< 0.05). No relationship was observed between water Li/Ca and salinity. A significant positive correlation was found between otolith edge Sr/Ca and salinity (r= 0.63;P< 0.05), positioning this ratio as the best natural tag for reconstructing environmental histories ofC. spixii. Change point analysis (CPA) based on otolith Sr/Ca signature through ontogeny revealed potential migrations between environments with different salinity. According to CPA, the number of displacements among different salinities ranged from 3–9 (6.1 ± 1.9), suggesting high plasticity in the migratory patterns. Ba/Ca, Li/Ca and Mn/Ca peaks were observed on the outer margin of the primordium, and could be influenced by physiological, environmental and maternal factors.

Published: August 2020

AbstractUsing an array of coupled microwave resonators arranged in a deformed honeycomb lattice, we experimentally observe the formation of pseudo-Landau levels in the whole crossover from vanishing to large pseudomagnetic field strengths. This result is achieved by utilising an adaptable setup in a geometry that is compatible with the pseudo-Landau levels at all field strengths. The adopted approach enables us to observe the fully formed flat-band pseudo-Landau levels spectrally as sharp peaks in the photonic density of states and image the associated wavefunctions spatially, where we provide clear evidence for a characteristic nodal structure reflecting the previously elusive supersymmetry in the underlying low-energy theory. In particular, we resolve the full sublattice polarisation of the anomalous 0th pseudo-Landau level, which reveals a deep connection to zigzag edge states in the unstrained case.

Published: August 2020

AbstractHigher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) represent a new family of topological materials featuring quantized bulk polarizations and zero-dimensional corner states. In recent years, zero-dimensional corner states have been demonstrated in two-dimensional systems in the form of quadrupole modes or dipole modes. Due to the challenges in designing and constructing three-dimensional systems, octupole corner modes in 3D have not been observed. In this work, we experimentally investigate octupole topological phases in a three-dimensional electrical circuit, which can be viewed as a cubic lattice version of the Hofstadter model with a π-flux threading each plaquette. We experimentally observe in our higher-order topological circuit a 0D corner state manifested as a localized impedance peak. The observed corner state in the electrical circuit is induced by the octupole moment of the bulk circuit and is topologically protected by anticommuting spatial symmetries of the circuit lattice. Our work provides a platform for investigating higher-order topological effects in three-dimensional electrical circuits.

AbstractIdentification of a suitable nonhuman primate (NHP) model of COVID-19 remains challenging. Here, we characterized severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in three NHP species: Old World monkeys Macaca mulatta (M. mulatta) and Macaca fascicularis (M. fascicularis) and New World monkey Callithrix jacchus (C. jacchus). Infected M. mulatta and M. fascicularis showed abnormal chest radiographs, an increased body temperature and a decreased body weight. Viral genomes were detected in swab and blood samples from all animals. Viral load was detected in the pulmonary tissues of M. mulatta and M. fascicularis but not C. jacchus. Furthermore, among the three animal species, M. mulatta showed the strongest response to SARS-CoV-2, including increased inflammatory cytokine expression and pathological changes in the pulmonary tissues. Collectively, these data revealed the different susceptibilities of Old World and New World monkeys to SARS-CoV-2 and identified M. mulatta as the most suitable for modeling COVID-19.

Abstract
A drop of seawater contains numerous microspatial niches at the scale relevant to microbial activities. Examples are abiotic niches such as detrital particles that show different sizes and organic contents, and biotic niches resulting from bacteria–phage and bacteria–phytoplankton interactions. A common practice to investigate the impact of microenvironments on bacterial evolution is to separate the microenvironments physically and compare the bacterial inhabitants from each. It remains poorly understood, however, which microenvironment primarily drives bacterioplankton evolution in the pelagic ocean. By applying a dilution cultivation approach to an undisturbed coastal water sample, we isolate a bacterial population affiliated with the globally dominant Roseobacter group. Although varying at just a few thousand nucleotide sites across the whole genomes, members of this clonal population are diverging into two genetically separated subspecies. Genes underlying speciation are not unique to subspecies but instead clustered at the shared regions that represent ~6% of the genomic DNA. They are primarily involved in vitamin synthesis, motility, oxidative defense, carbohydrate, and amino acid utilization, consistent with the known strategies that roseobacters take to interact with phytoplankton and particles. Physiological assays corroborate that one subspecies outcompetes the other in these traits. Our results indicate that the microenvironments in the pelagic ocean represented by phytoplankton and organic particles are likely important niches that drive the cryptic speciation of the Roseobacter population, though microhabitats contributed by other less abundant pelagic hosts cannot be ruled out.
