DissecTLS: A Scalable Active Scanner for TLS Server Configurations, Capabilities, and TLS Fingerprinting
Authors: Sosnowski Markus , Zirngibl Johannes , Sattler Patrick , Carle Georg 
Published: March 2023

AbstractCollecting metadata from Transport Layer Security (TLS) servers on a large scale allows to draw conclusions about their capabilities and configuration. This provides not only insights into the Internet but it enables use cases like detecting malicious Command and Control (C &C) servers. However, active scanners can only observe and interpret the behavior of TLS servers, the underlying configuration and implementation causing the behavior remains hidden. Existing approaches struggle between resource intensive scans that can reconstruct this data and light-weight fingerprinting approaches that aim to differentiate servers without making any assumptions about their inner working. With this work we propose DissecTLS, an active TLS scanner that is both light-weight enough to be used for Internet measurements and able to reconstruct the configuration and capabilities of the TLS stack. This was achieved by modeling the parameters of the TLS stack and derive an active scan that dynamically creates scanning probes based on the model and the previous responses from the server. We provide a comparison of five active TLS scanning and fingerprinting approaches in a local testbed and on toplist targets. We conducted a measurement study over nine weeks to fingerprint C &C servers and analyzed popular and deprecated TLS parameter usage. Similar to related work, the fingerprinting achieved a maximum precision of 99 % for a conservative detection threshold of 100 %; and at the same time, we improved the recall by a factor of 2.8.
Mysterien

ZusammenfassungWas ist eigentlich Neoromantik? Im einführenden Kapitel werden die Voraussetzungen geklärt, die es benötigt, um auf diese komplexe Frage eine Antwort zu geben. Der erste Teil legt die Fragestellung offen: Neoromantik besitzt einerseits eine historische Komponente, da sie in die literarischen Debatten um 1900 eingebunden ist und u. a. unter dem Begriff der ‚Neuromantik‘ rege diskutiert wurde. Andererseits handelt es sich um eine literarische Strategie, in der romantische Texte aufgegriffen werden, um durch etwas Neues transformiert zu werden. Dass gerade dieser Doppelcharakter des Phänomens bislang nur selten berücksichtigt wurde, zeigt ein Forschungsüberblick zur ‚Neuromantik‘, der vier verschiedene Phasen unterteilt und nicht von der Romantik-Rezeption des jeweiligen Zeitraums zu trennen ist. Wer über Neoromantisches spricht, hat abschließend immer auch ein Modell von Romantik im Hinterkopf. Der Theorieteil führt aus, mit welchem Romantik-Verständnis diese Untersuchung operiert; warum es sich lohnt, das eigene Modell offenzulegen; und warum es dennoch ein diskursanalytisches Korrektiv benötigt, um mit einem Modell auch historisch valide Erkenntnisse zu produzieren.

ZusammenfassungNeoromantische Literatur wiederholt nicht einfach die Textstrategien der historischen Romantik, sondern verändert sie in einer charakteristischen Art und Weise. In diesem Fazit wird die genuin literarische Strategie beschrieben, die eine Neoromantik ausmacht: Sie knüpft an romantische Intertexte an, um erstens ihren Fragmentierungsgrad zu erhöhen; zweitens werden einzelne Mikrobereiche erschlossen, in denen Außenseiterfiguren synthetisch aufgehen; um drittens eine ironische Kippfigur zu installieren, die sich aber ausschließlich auf die Übersetzung einer Einzelerkenntnis in den größeren Zusammenhang bezieht. Neoromantische Texte sind damit nur selten so wahrnehmungsreflexiv, wie es romantische Texte noch waren; sondern sie beschäftigen sich eher mit den Rätseln einer verborgenen Überkomplexität, die tatsächlich hinter der Wahrnehmung schlummern und die Auffassungsgabe der Individuen überfordern. Welche Rückschlüsse die Neoromantik auf die Epochensignatur um 1900 erlaubt, wird anschließend mit Blick auf Differenzen und Schnittmengen mit anderen Strömungen erörtert. Schließlich muss sich auch die Romantik einer kritischen Re-Perspektivierung stellen, da sie sich über die Neoromantik als anfällig für vereindeutigende, weniger ironisierende Verfahren gezeigt hat.
Schedulability Analysis of Mixed-Criticality Data Under EDF Scheduling
Authors: Jin Xi , Xia Changqing , Xu Chi , Li Dong 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIn this chapter, to improve the schedulability of high-criticality flows when the network is running, we present a supply/demand bound function analysis method based on earliest deadline first (EDF) scheduling. In addition, our method considers both source routing and graph routing. At the beginning, when the network is in low-criticality mode, source routing is applied. When errors or exceptions occur, the network switches to high-criticality mode, and network routing turns to graph routing to guarantee that critical flows can be scheduled. By estimating the demand bound for the mixed-criticality data model, we can determine the schedulability of industrial wireless networks.

AbstractTo improve the schedulability of mixed-criticality industrial wireless networks, targeted algorithms should be developed. Therefore, in this chapter, we propose a mixed-criticality scheduling algorithm. The algorithm supports centralized optimization and adaptive adjustment. It can improve both the schedulability and flexibility. We conduct extensive simulations, and the results demonstrate that the proposed scheduling algorithm significantly outperforms existing ones.
Mixed-Criticality Scheduling with Multiple Radio Interfaces
Authors: Jin Xi , Xia Changqing , Xu Chi , Li Dong 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIn this chapter, we introduce the nodes with multiple radio interfaces (MRI) into mixed-criticality industrial wireless networks. When an error occurs or transmission demand changes, the MRI nodes can switch their transmission mode, changing to a high-criticality configuration to meet the system’s new demand. Hence, we first propose a heterogeneous MRI system model. Based on this model, we propose a Slot Analyzing Algorithm (SAA) that guarantees system schedulability by reallocating slots for each node after replacing conflict nodes with MRI nodes. By considering both system schedulability and cost, SAA also reduces the number of MRI nodes. Then, we propose a Priority Inversion Algorithm (PIA) that improves the schedulability by adjusting slot allocations before replacing conflict nodes with MRI nodes. By reducing the use of MRI nodes, PIA achieves better performance than SAA when the system is in the high-criticality mode.
Mixed-Criticality Scheduling on 5G New Radio

Published: March 2023

AbstractCompared to industrial wired networks, 5G can improve device mobility and reduce the cost of networking. However, the real-time performance and reliability of 5G NR (new radio) still need to be improved to satisfy industrial applications’ requirements. In factories, the main factor that affects the performance of 5G NR is the unstable signal quality caused by high temperatures and metal. Although assigning dedicated resources to all transmissions and retransmissions is an effective method to improve the performance of 5G NR, the unstable signal quality causes the resources required for retransmissions to be uncertain. To address the problem, we introduce the mixed-criticality task model to 5G NR. When high-criticality packets cannot be transmitted, they are allowed to preempt the resources shared with low-criticality packets. The mixed-criticality scheduling problem of 5G NR is NP-hard. We formulate it as an OMT (optimization modulo theories) specification and propose a scheduling algorithm based on bin packing methods to make 5G NR satisfy industrial applications’ requirements. Finally, we conduct extensive evaluations based on an industrial 5G testbed and random test cases. The evaluation results indicate that our algorithm makes communication reliability greater than 99.9% on unlicensed spectrum, and for most test cases, our algorithm is close to optimal solutions.

Abstract
Purpose
Use of alcohol and other substances is a multifaceted issue impacting young people across multiple life domains. This paper aims to elucidate patterns of substance use and associated demographic and clinical factors among young people seeking treatment for their mental health.

Methods
Young people (12–25 years old) were recruited from five youth-specific primary mental health (“headspace”) services in Australia. Self-reported substance use and harms in the past 3 months were measured using WHO-ASSIST. Network analyses were conducted to evaluate interrelationships between use and harms associated with different substances. Subgroups were then identified based on whether participants reported using high centrality substances, and associated demographic and clinical factors were assessed with multinomial logistic regression.

Results
1107 youth participated. 70% reported use of at least one substance in the past 3 months, with around 30% of those reporting related health, social, legal or financial problems. Network analysis highlighted substantial interconnections between use and harm indicators for all substances, with amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS) and cannabis being high central substances. Higher levels of substance use and harms were reported in subgroups with ATS or cannabis use and different risk factors were associated with these subgroups.

Conclusions
Findings highlight the importance of screening for substance use in youth primary mental healthcare settings, offering a key opportunity for early intervention. Clinicians should be aware of the inner connections of use and harms of different drugs and the role of cannabis and amphetamine use as a marker for more substance use profiles.
Trends and predictors of laparoscopic bilateral inguinal hernia repair in Spain: a population-based study

Published: March 2023

AbstractBackgroundInternational guidelines currently recommend laparoscopy for bilateral inguinal hernia repair (BIHR). Our study aims to evaluate the trends and factors associated with the choice of laparoscopy for BIHR in Spain.MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing BIHR between 2016 and 2019. We used the national database of the Spanish Ministry of Health: RAE-CMBD. We performed a univariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis to identify the factors associated with the utilization of laparoscopy. We identified perioperative complications and the factors associated with their occurrence through multivariable logistic regression analysis.ResultsA total of 21,795 BIHRs were performed: 84% by open approach and 16% by laparoscopic approach. Laparoscopic approach increased from 12% in 2016 to 23% in 2019 (p < 0.001). The 40% of hospitals did not use laparoscopy, and only 8% of the hospitals performed more than 50% of their BIHRs by laparoscopy. The utilization rate of laparoscopy was not related to the number of BIHRs performed per year (p = 0.145). The main factor associated with the choice of laparoscopy in multivariable logistic regression analysis was the patient’s region of residence (OR2.04, 95%CI1.88–2.21). Other factors were age < 65 years (OR1.65, 95%CI1.52–1.79) and recurrent inguinal hernia (OR1.31, 95%CI1.15–1.49). The type of approach for BIHR was not independently associated with perioperative complications.ConclusionsDespite a significant increase in recent years, laparoscopic BIHR in Spain remains low. The main factor associated with the utilization of laparoscopy was the patient’s region of residence; this factor seems to be related to the presence of hospitals with a high rate of laparoscopic approaches where the patient lives. The type of approach was not independently associated with perioperative complications. More efforts are needed to increase laparoscopic use in patients with bilateral inguinal hernias.Graphical abstract
Efficient modeling of DFIG- and FSC-based wind turbines for frequency stability analysis
Authors: Goudarzi Farshid , Reus Lucas , Hofmann Lutz 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe contribution of wind turbines (WTs) to enhance the frequency stability of power systems is traditionally analyzed using commonly applied root mean square (RMS) models. RMS WT models require smaller simulation time steps compared to conventional active devices (i.e., synchronous generators and dynamic loads) due to the comparatively smaller time constants of the converter controllers. Such small time steps become relevant in simulations of large-scale power systems with a high level of WT penetration and lead to high computational time and effort. This paper presents simplified simulation models of a doubly-fed induction generator-based WT and a full-scale converter-based WT, which enable higher simulation time steps due to the negligence of very small time constants with no relevant effects in the time frame of interest of frequency stability analysis. The models are derived from detailed RMS WT models based on fundamental machine and converter equations. In order to verify the validity of the underlying simplifications, the simplified models are compared to the detailed RMS models with a focus on their general behavior in case of step responses and their frequency responses in the event of a frequency drop in a 220 kV test system. For this purpose, both the detailed RMS WT models as well as the simplified WT models are extended with a droop-based fast frequency response controller and implemented in a MATLAB-based RMS simulation tool. The results of the case studies show feasible and comparable general behavior of the WT models as well as plausible frequency responses.
Investigating the impact of calibration on the quality of explanations

Published: March 2023

AbstractPredictive models used in Decision Support Systems (DSS) are often requested to explain the reasoning to users. Explanations of instances consist of two parts; the predicted label with an associated certainty and a set of weights, one per feature, describing how each feature contributes to the prediction for the particular instance. In techniques like Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME), the probability estimate from the underlying model is used as a measurement of certainty; consequently, the feature weights represent how each feature contributes to the probability estimate. It is, however, well-known that probability estimates from classifiers are often poorly calibrated, i.e., the probability estimates do not correspond to the actual probabilities of being correct. With this in mind, explanations from techniques like LIME risk becoming misleading since the feature weights will only describe how each feature contributes to the possibly inaccurate probability estimate. This paper investigates the impact of calibrating predictive models before applying LIME. The study includes 25 benchmark data sets, using Random forest and Extreme Gradient Boosting (xGBoost) as learners and Venn-Abers and Platt scaling as calibration methods. Results from the study show that explanations of better calibrated models are themselves better calibrated, with ECE and log loss for the explanations after calibration becoming more conformed to the model ECE and log loss. The conclusion is that calibration makes the models and the explanations better by accurately representing reality.
Downregulated INHBB in endometrial tissue of recurrent implantation failure patients impeded decidualization through the ADCY1/cAMP signalling pathway

Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to identify the mechanism of Inhibin Subunit Beta B (INHBB), a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family involved in the regulation of human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) decidualization in recurrent implantation failure (RIF).

Methods
RNA-seq was conducted to identify the differentially expressed genes in the endometria from control and RIF patients. RT-qPCR, WB, and immunohistochemistry were performed to analyse the expression levels of INHBB in endometrium and decidualised HESCs. RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence were used to detect changes in the decidual marker genes and cytoskeleton after knockdown INHBB. Then, RNA-seq was used to dig out the mechanism of INHBB regulating decidualization. The cAMP analogue (forskolin) and si-INHBB were used to investigate the involvement of INHBB in the cAMP signalling pathway. The correlation of INHBB and ADCY expression was analysed by Pearson’s correlation analysis.

Results
Our results showed significantly reduced expression of INHBB in endometrial stromal cells of women with RIF. In addition, INHBB was increased in the endometrium of the secretory phase and significantly induced in in-vitro decidualization of HESCs. Notably, with RNA-seq and siRNA-mediated knockdown approaches, we demonstrated that the INHBB-ADCY1-mediated cAMP signalling pathway regulates the reduction of decidualization. We found a positive association between the expression of INHBB and ADCY1 in endometria with RIF (R2 = 0.3785, P = 0.0005).

Conclusions
The decline of INHBB in HESCs suppressed ADCY1-induced cAMP production and cAMP-mediated signalling, which attenuated decidualization in RIF patients, indicating that INHBB is an essential component in the decidualization process.
Parent-Adolescent Attachment and Well-Being Among Chinese Hearing-Impaired Students: The Mediating Role of Resilience and the Moderating Role of Emotional and Behavioral Problems
Authors: Ban Yongfei , Sun Ji , Bai Bingyu , Liu Jiang 
Published: March 2023

AbstractAlthough several studies have highlighted a significant association between parent-adolescent attachment and well-being in normal adolescents, studies exploring this relationship among hearing-impaired adolescents are scarce. The current study examined the association of parent-adolescent attachment with well-being and the underlying mechanism of this relationship among Chinese hearing-impaired students. A total of 512 hearing-impaired students from eight special education centers and schools (female: n = 223; mean age = 17.28 years) were recruited for this study and completed self-report measures of parent-adolescent attachment, resilience, emotional and behavioral problems, and well-being. The results found that for Chinese hearing-impaired students: (1) There was a significant positive correlation between parent-adolescent attachment and well-being. (2) Even after controlling for the effect of gender, parent-adolescent attachment was a significant predictor of well-being. (3) Resilience mediated the relationship between parent-adolescent attachment and well-being. Furthermore, emotional and behavioral problems moderated this relationship. These findings had broad implications in the field of well-being in hearing-impaired adolescents. It suggested that developing secure parent-adolescent attachment, improving resilience, and reducing emotional and behavioral problems could help improve the hearing-impaired students’ well-being.
Shear-thickening of dense bidispersed suspensions
Authors: Monti Alessandro , Rosti Marco Edoardo 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe study the rheological behaviour of a dense bidispersed suspension varying the relative size of the two dispersed phases. The main outcome of our analysis is that an enhanced flowability (reduced relative viscosity) of the suspension can be achieved by increasing the dispersion ratio of the phases. We explain the observed result by showing that the presence of large particles increases the packing efficiency of the suspension, leading to a reduction of the contribution of the contacts on the overall viscosity of the suspension in the shear-thickening regime, i.e. where the contacts are the dominating component.
A Modification of the Beavers–Joseph Condition for Arbitrary Flows to the Fluid–porous Interface
Authors: Strohbeck Paula , Eggenweiler Elissa , Rybak Iryna 
Published: March 2023

AbstractPhysically consistent coupling conditions at the fluid–porous interface with correctly determined effective parameters are necessary for accurate modeling and simulation of various applications. To describe single-fluid-phase flows in coupled free-flow and porous-medium systems, the Stokes/Darcy equations are typically used together with the conservation of mass across the interface, the balance of normal forces and the Beavers–Joseph condition on the tangential velocity. The latter condition is suitable for flows parallel to the interface but not applicable for arbitrary flow directions. Moreover, the value of the Beavers–Joseph slip coefficient is uncertain. In the literature, it is routinely set equal to one that is not correct for many applications, even if the flow is parallel to the porous layer. In this paper, we reformulate the generalized interface condition on the tangential velocity component, recently developed for arbitrary flows in Stokes/Darcy systems, such that it has the same analytical form as the Beavers–Joseph condition. We compute the effective coefficients appearing in this modified condition using theory of homogenization with boundary layers. We demonstrate that the modified Beavers–Joseph condition is applicable for arbitrary flow directions to the fluid–porous interface. In addition, we propose an efficient two-level numerical algorithm based on simulated annealing to compute the optimal Beavers–Joseph parameter.Article Highlights

A modification of the Beavers–Joseph condition is proposed based on recently developed generalized coupling conditions.

The Beavers-Joseph parameter can be found only for unidirectional flows.

An efficient numerical algorithm to determine the optimal Beavers-Joseph parameter is developed.
