description: The Robot Operation System (ROS) is widely used in academia as well as the industry to build custom robot applications. Successful cyberattacks on robots can result in a loss of control for the legitimate operator and thus have a severe impact on safety if the robot is moving uncontrollably. A high level of security thus needs to be mandatory. Neither ROS 1 nor 2 in their default configuration provide protection against network based attackers. Multiple protection mechanisms have been proposed that can be used to overcome this. Unfortunately, it is unclear how effective and usable each of them are. We provide a structured analysis of the requirements these protection mechanisms need to fulfill by identifying realistic, network based attacker models and using those to derive relevant security requirements and other evaluation criteria. Based on these criteria, we analyze the protection mechanisms available and compare them to each other. We find that none of the existing protection mechanisms fulfill all of the security requirements.
For both ROS 1 and 2, we discuss which protection mechanism are most relevant and give hints on how to decide on one. We hope that the requirements we identify simplify the development or enhancement of protection mechanisms that cover all aspects of ROS and that our comparison helps robot operators to choose an adequate protection mechanism for their use case.
Shot-Noise in Fractional Wires: a Universal Fano-Factor Different than the Tunneling Charge

description: We consider partially gapped one dimensional (1D) conductors connected to normal leads, as realized in fractional helical wires. At certain electron densities, some distinct charge mode develops a gap due to electron interactions, leading to a fractional conductance. For this state we study the current noise caused by tunneling events inside the wire. We find that the noise's Fano-factor is different from the tunneling charge. This fact arises from charge scattering at the wire-leads interfaces. The resulting noise is, however, universal - it depends only on the identification of the gapped mode, and is insensitive to additional interactions in the wire. We further show that the tunneling charge can be deduced from the finite frequency noise, and yet is interaction dependent due to screening effects.

 Swiss Year of Scientometrics Lecture no 1 Abstract. The field of bibliometrics and scholarly metrics has historically been driven and heavily shaped by the availability of data. From the creation of the Science Citation Index in the 1960s and the launch of Scopus and Google Scholar in 2004 which ended the monopoly of the Web of Science to the recent diversification of databases and APIs including Crossref, Dimensions, Altmetric, DataCite, Scite or OpenAlex. This diversification has the potential to make quantitative research assessment more accessible and inclusive by reducing known gaps and biases such as covering research outputs beyond English-language peer-reviewed journals. However, it also introduces new challenges including metadata quality and completeness, which can greatly impact the outcome and validity of bibliometric studies. This keynote will provide an overview of the landscape of scientometrics with a particular focus on recent developments and applications in research evaluation, library collection management and open science monitoring. It will also address the need to educate users of scholarly metrics in order to reduce their misuse in academia.

description: In this work we provide an overview of jamming transitions in two dimensional systems focusing on the limit of frictionless particle interactions in the absence of thermal fluctuations. We first discuss jamming in systems with short range repulsive interactions, where the onset of jamming occurs at a critical packing density and where certain quantities show a divergence indicative of critical behavior. We describe how aspects of the dynamics change as the jamming density is approached and how these dynamics can be explored using externally driven probes. Different particle shapes can produce jamming densities much lower than those observed for disk-shaped particles, and we show how jamming exhibits fragility for some shapes while for other shapes this is absent. Next we describe the effects of long range interactions and jamming behavior in systems such as charged colloids, vortices in type-II superconductors, and dislocations. We consider the effect of adding obstacles to frictionless jamming systems and discuss connections between this type of jamming and systems that exhibit depinning transitions. Finally, we discuss open questions such as whether the jamming transition in all these different systems can be described by the same or a small subset of universal behaviors, as well as future directions for studies of jamming transitions in two dimensional systems, such as jamming in self-driven or active matter systems.

description: In Aristotelian logic, categorical propositions are divided in Universal Affirmative, Universal Negative, Particular Affirmative and Particular Negative. Possible relations between two of the mentioned type of propositions are encoded in the square of opposition. The square expresses the essential properties of monadic first order quantification which, in an algebraic approach, may be represented taking into account monadic Boolean algebras. More precisely, quantifiers are considered as modal operators acting on a Boolean algebra and the square of opposition is represented by relations between certain terms of the language in which the algebraic structure is formulated. This representation is sometimes called the modal square of opposition. Several generalizations of the monadic first order logic can be obtained by changing the underlying Boolean structure by another one giving rise to new possible interpretations of the square.

description: This study seeks to understand the extent to which ecological connectivity has been considered in EIA in Canada. Several factors that may influence the consideration of connectivity were analyzed in an evaluation of 14 environmental impact statements (EIS) obtained from the Canadian Impact Assessment Registry. Connectivity is largely absent from the EIA process, and even projects that attempted to consider connectivity lacked the rigor required to effectively assess impacts on connectivity. Projects that included connectivity as a valued component performed somewhat better, whereas the assessment of connectivity was not affected by different federal environmental acts (CEAA 1992 vs. CEAA 2012), development sectors, or proponent types. Between sections of the EIS, a significantly greater number of evaluation criteria were met in the scoping section compared to all other sections. Without adequate guidance, connectivity analysis in EIA has been conducted ad hoc, with considerable variation in quality. Including connectivity consideration in EIA legislation would provide a legal framework to address the lack of policies, standards, and assessment guidelines. We provide recommendations for integrating connectivity in EIA in Canada and elsewhere.

description: Ecological connectivity should be an important consideration in environmental assessment (EA). How often and how thoroughly the analysis of ecological connectivity is integrated in the EA process is, however, unknown. We surveyed EA actors and stakeholders regarding their perceptions of, and experiences with, connectivity analysis in the context of EA. 134 practitioners, regulators, consultants, researchers, and interest groups from all inhabited continents participated. Over 72% of respondents stated that ecological connectivity should always be considered; however, it is often considered too late in the EA process, at a scale of analysis often unsuitable for capturing landscape-scale effects, and relying on overly simplistic metrics or qualitative approaches. This disparity between the availability of a range of quantitative tools and the poor consideration of connectivity in EA raises major concerns about current practice and the feasibility of connectivity analysis in project-based EA. Connectivity consideration will need to be required explicitly and supported by best-practice guidance to address the conditions that should trigger a connectivity analysis, the required types of approaches, and the kind of information required to inform decision-making.

description: Several studies assert that transportation infrastructure rights-of-way can play a positive role for many animal species, especially in highly fragmented and human-dominated landscapes. This study examines the contribution of highway stormwater ponds to amphibian ecological networks, questioning both the influence of their location on species richness and their capacity to increase landscape connectivity. The ecological networks of amphibian species were modeled by graph theory around highway A77 (France). Stormwater ponds as well as natural ponds were included as potential habitats and several connectivity metrics were calculated at different scales. The connectivity values of the stormwater ponds were analyzed in relation to species presence data collected in 2018. While most of these ponds contribute little to regional connectivity, some of them represent important connector patches. Statistical analysis also suggests that highway ponds are used by amphibians in areas with few natural pools. This raises questions about how to improve the management of ecological networks by considering the capacity of artificial habitats to serve as a refuge for biodiversity.

description: We have measured the meridional motions of the magnetic elements in the Sun's surface layers since 1996 and find systematic and substantial variations. In general the meridional flow speed is fast at cycle minima and slow at cycle maxima. We find that these systematic variations are characterized by a weakening of the meridional flow on the poleward sides of the active (sunspot) latitudes. This can be interpreted as a inflow toward the sunspot zones superimposed on a more general poleward meridional flow profile. We also find variations in the meridional flow which vary from cycle-to-cycle. The meridional flow was slower at both the minimum and maximum of cycle 23 compared to similar phases of cycles 21, 22, and 24. Models of the magnetic flux transport by a variable meridional flow suggest that it can significantly modulate the size and timing of the following sunspot cycle through its impact on the Sun's polar magnetic fields. We suggest that the meridional flow variations observed in cycle 23 contributed to the weak polar fields at the end of the cycle which then produced a weak cycle 24 and the extraordinary cycle 23/24 minimum.

description: We review our recent studies on ferromagnetic superconductors, UGe2, URhGe and UCoGe, together with the ferromagnetic quantum criticality and paramagnetic singularity on the Ising 5f-itinerant system UCoAl. Thanks to the variety of ordered moment in ferromagnetic superconductors from 1.5 muB to 0.05 muB, interesting systematic changes or similarities are clarified. All ferromagnetic superconductors show large upper critical field Hc2, and the field-reentrant (-reinforced) phenomena are observed in the field-temperature phase diagram, when the pressure or field direction is tuned for particular conditions. These phenomena are well explained by the ferromagnetic longitudinal fluctuations, which are induced by the magnetic field in transverse configurations. The large Hc2 might be also associated with possible additional effects of Fermi surface instabilities, such as Lifshitz-type singularities.

description: We present several improvements to the standard Trotter-Suzuki based algorithms used in the simulation of quantum chemistry on a quantum computer. First, we modify how Jordan-Wigner transformations are implemented to reduce their cost from linear or logarithmic in the number of orbitals to a constant. Our modification does not require additional ancilla qubits. Then, we demonstrate how many operations can be parallelized, leading to a further linear decrease in the parallel depth of the circuit, at the cost of a small constant factor increase in number of qubits required. Thirdly, we modify the term order in the Trotter-Suzuki decomposition, significantly reducing the error at given Trotter-Suzuki timestep. A final improvement modifies the Hamiltonian to reduce errors introduced by the non-zero Trotter-Suzuki timestep. All of these techniques are validated using numerical simulation and detailed gate counts are given for realistic molecules.

description: The von Neumann and Morgenstern theory postulates that rational choice under uncertainty is equivalent to maximization of expected utility (EU). This view is mathematically appealing and natural because of the affine structure of the space of probability measures. Behavioural economists and psychologists, on the other hand, have demonstrated that humans consistently violate the EU postulate by switching from risk-averse to risk-taking behaviour. This paradox has led to the development of descriptive theories of decisions, such as the celebrated prospect theory, which uses an $S$-shaped value function with concave and convex branches explaining the observed asymmetry. Although successful in modelling human behaviour, these theories appear to contradict the natural set of axioms behind the EU postulate. Here we show that the observed asymmetry in behaviour can be explained if, apart from utilities of the outcomes, rational agents also value information communicated by random events. We review the main ideas of the classical value of information theory and its generalizations. Then we prove that the value of information is an $S$-shaped function, and that its asymmetry does not depend on how the concept of information is defined, but follows only from linearity of the expected utility. Thus, unlike many descriptive and `non-expected' utility theories that abandon the linearity (i.e. the `independence' axiom), we formulate a rigorous argument that the von Neumann and Morgenstern rational agents should be both risk-averse and risk-taking if they are not indifferent to information.

description: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that has a straight relationship with tissue destruction in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Inhibitory effects of TNF production have been attributed to spironolactone. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of spironolactone on the pathogenesis of ligature-induced alveolar bone loss in rats. Experimental periodontitis was induced in 38 Wistar rats by ligature placement in the left second maxillary molar. The contra-lateral maxillary molar served as intragroup control. Animals were randomly divided into 4 groups and treated with spironolactone (50, 100, 200 mg·kg-1) or saline. Morphometrical registration of maxillary alveolar bone was performed after 28 days of experimental periodontitis. Intra-group comparisons showed significantly higher alveolar bone loss mean values in maxillary sides with ligature (paired sample t test, p<0.05). Mean alveolar bone loss was not significantly different between groups, independently of the dosage (range: 0.63 – 0.66 mm, one-way ANOVA, p>0.05). Although spironolactone has recognized TNF-inhibitory properties, the possibility of its use on modulation of host immune-inflammatory response in periodontal disease was not confirmed.

description: New thioetheramide ligands (L, PhS(CH2)nCONRR’) co-extract Pd(II) and Pt(IV) from acidic chloride solutions. The Pd is transferred to a water-immiscible phase as a [Pd(L)2Cl2] complex with thioether groups in the inner sphere whilst Pt is extracted in an outer-sphere assembly, [(LH)2·PtCl6], containing protonated reagent molecules LH+ that charge-balance the chloridoplatinate dianion, [PtCl6]2-. The much higher kinetic and thermodynamic stability of the Pd(II) complex makes it possible to strip the Pt into a weakly acidic aqueous phase before recovering the Pd by back-extraction into aqueous ammonia to form [Pd(NH3)4]Cl2, thereby separating the two elements. An alkyl spacer group with two methylene units between the thioether (S) and amide (C) atoms is a stronger extractant for both metals than those with one or three methylene units. The extractants reject trianionic chloridometalates with higher hydration energies such as [IrCl6]3-. X-ray structures of two [Pd(L)2Cl2] complexes (L, PhSCH2CONH-n-C4H9 or PhS(CH2)2CONH-n-C4H9) have planar coordination with a transarrangement of the thioether groups and geometries very similar to those predicted by DFT calculations. These calculations show that addition of a proton to the proligands L generates a pseudochelate with the added H+ located between the S atom and the carbonyl O atom. In contrast to related ether- and amino-amide extractants, this pseudochelate ring is broken in the [(LH)2.PtCl6] assemblies formed by the thioetheramides and the OH+ and NH units make the close contacts to the PtCl62- ion.

description: In this paper a new message passing algorithm, which takes advantage of both tree-based re-parameterization and the knowledge of short cycles, is introduced for the purpose of decoding LDPC codes with short block lengths. The proposed algorithm is called variable factor appearance probability belief propagation (VFAP-BP) algorithm and is suitable for wireless communications applications, where both good decoding performance and low-latency are expected. Our simulation results show that the VFAP-BP algorithm outperforms the standard BP algorithm and requires a significantly smaller number of iterations than existing algorithms when decoding both regular and irregular LDPC codes.

description: Organic solutions comprising the Actinide Lanthanide Separation Process (ALSEP) solvent consisting of 0.5 M 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (HEH[EHP]) and 0.05 M N,N,N’,N’-tetra(2-ethylhexyl)diglycolamide (T2EHDGA) in n-dodecane were subjected to low LET and high LET irradiation before and after equilibration with an aqueous phase of 3 M HNO3. Degradation dose constants revealed greater ligand degradation due to gamma irradiation than alpha irradiation for both ligands. Furthermore, equilibration with nitric acid did not have a significant impact on ligand degradation for either irradiation source. Identified degradation products were similar for both gamma and alpha irradiation and occurred mostly through the rupture of the N–Ccarbonyl and C–Oether bonds for T2EHDGA and the C–Oether bond in HEH[EHP]. Acid contact appears to alter the degradation pathway by favoring the formation of higher molecular weight recombination products. Mixed T2EHDGA-HEH[EHP]-NO3 complexes were formed with Nd(III) after extraction from 3 M HNO3, and low LET gamma irradiation of the Nd(III) loaded organic solution produced similar degradation products as the organic solution absent of Nd(III). Interestingly, and likely due to the greater radiolytic susceptibility of T2EHDGA than HEH[EHP], a HEH[EHP]-Nd(III) complex appears to form as the T2EHDGA degrades with increasing absorbed dose.

description: This paper shows that the variance of load bus voltage magnitude in a small power system test case increases monotonically as the system approaches a Hopf bifurcation. This property can potentially be used as a method for monitoring oscillatory stability in power grid using high-resolution phasor measurements. Increasing variance in data from a dynamical system is a common sign of a phenomenon known as critical slowing down (CSD). CSD is slower recovery of dynamical systems from perturbations as they approach critical transitions. Earlier work has focused on studying CSD in systems approaching voltage collapse; In this paper, we investigate its occurrence as a power system approaches a Hopf bifurcation.

description: Infections by V- factor dependent Pasteurellaceae (commonly called Haemophilus spp) frequently occur in colonies of guinea pig and rat. We evaluated possible differences between 185 Haemophilus strains from guinea pig (n=97) and rat (n=88) by API NH biotyping and by cell wall lipid profiling (FAME-analysis). By combining results of both methods we found 28 Haemophilus API-FAME types. Seven API-FAME types were shared and comprised 66% and 76% of the guinea pig and rat Haemophilus strains respectively. The remaining 21 Haemophilus phenotypes were unique to either guinea pig (12 types) or rat (9 types).

description: When I first decided that I wanted to take part in a study abroad trip I figured that I would travel to another country, explore a new culture, eat some good food and maybe practice some new language skills. I had no idea that I would end up on a trip to France and Poland to study the Holocaust. I have been on many trips in my life, however the depth and emotional experience during this study abroad class surpasses pretty much every other trip. Admittedly during the trip I was not able to show much emotion, that’s just the way I am; however, that did not change the fact that I did absorb the academic side of the course and learned a great deal. There were many things during the trip that stuck out to me, but I will only speak about one.

description: There are ever increasing numbers of new chemicals and pharmaceutical products that have the potential to induce birth defects or to cause damage during the perinatal period in humans. Many genotoxic compounds possess teratogenic potential and induce the formation of micronuclei (MN). Objective: To demonstrate that the New Zealand rabbit may be a useful animal model for the evaluation of transplacental genotoxicity and potential teratogenicity of compounds by quantifying micronucleated erythrocytes (MNE) in the peripheral blood of newborn rabbits following maternal exposure. Method: For each dose, a single pregnant rabbit was injected daily on the 25th to 30th days of pregnancy with 1, 4, or 7 mg/kg cyclophosphamide (CP) with one pregnant rabbit being treated with sterile water as the control. Following the daily intramuscular administrations, a drop of blood was taken from six newborn rabbits from each female for microscopic analyses. Results: When compared with controls, significant differences (p < 0.002) were observed in the number of MNE and micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPCE) from newborns of females treated with 4 or 7 mg/kg CP, but not from newborns exposed to 1 mg/kg CP. No cytotoxic effects were observed after the treatments. We concluded that the presence of MNE in newborn rabbits suggests that the rabbit may be useful animal model for the detection and prevention of transplacental genotoxicity and/or potential teratogenicity of compounds in the peripheral blood of newborn rabbits following maternal exposure.

description: We study constraints imposed by the Galilean invariance on linear electromagnetic and elastic responses of two-dimensional gapped systems in background magnetic field. Exact relations between response functions following from the Ward identities are derived. In addition to viscosity-conductivity relations known in literature we find new relations between the density-curvature response and the chiral central charge.

description: The world's seas and oceans contain vast amounts of lithium, but the low concentration hereof renders solvent extraction impractical for its recovery. By contrast, seawater desalination brine, after treatment by nanofiltration, contains a roughly tenfold greater concentration of lithium than raw seawater. Hence, lithium can be effectively recovered from such streams using solvent extaction. Compared with other techniques to sequester lithium from dilute solutions, solvent extraction offers the advantages of simple operations, robust and well-established technology and high recovery yields. Thus, we propose a solvent-extraction based process to recover lithium from seawater desalination brine, treated by nanofiltration. The first step comprises the removal of magnesium and calcium using methyltrioctylammonium neodecanoate in p-cymene. This is followed by a lithium extraction step using the extractants Mextral 54–100 and Cyanex 923 in Shellsol D70 diluent. The lithium extract is then scrubbed with water and stripped with hydrochloric acid. Subsequently, residual alkaline earth metals are removed with sodium hydroxide in ethanol and finally lithium is precipitated using sodium carbonate. The solvent extraction, scrubbing and stripping steps were demonstrated on mini-pilot scale in continuous countercurrent mode (in mixer-settlers), while the precipitation steps were demonstrated in batch. The process was found to have an overall yield of 74%, affording a lithium carbonate product with a purity of 97 wt%.

description: A model to study gland regeneration as a similar phenomenon to gland development is proposed. This study evaluated the expression of metalloproteinases (MMPs), laminin (LN) and type I and III collagen in the regeneration of the rat submandibular gland (SMG). Eighteen 30-day-old Wistar male rats were anesthetized, and the lower third of their SMG left lobe was excised. The animals were killed on the 2nd, 3rd, 7th and 15th postoperative days, and their SMG lobes were removed, fixed and processed in paraffin. Immunohistochemistry was used to label type I and III collagen, laminin, and MMP-9. The avidin-biotin technique was used, and the reaction was developed with diaminobenzidine. On the 2nd day, MMP9 expression was intense in the margins of the regenerating area and inside striated duct cells in the preserved gland. On the 3rd day, duct cytoplasm labeling persisted and was more intense than in the surrounding mesenchyme, where labeling increased along time. Concurrently, LN labeling in the basal lamina of epithelial buds was intense and discontinuous. Types I and III collagen were present during the whole process, which showed their importance for the regeneration process. The behavior of extracellular macromolecules observed in this study is similar to their behavior in gland development.

description: The linearization of nonlinear systems is an important digital enhancement technique. In this paper, a real-time capable post- and pre-linearization method for the widely applicable time-varying discrete-time Volterra series is presented. To this end, an alternative view on the Volterra series is established, which enables the utilization of certain modified linear iterative methods for linearization. For one particular linear iterative method, the Richardson iteration, the corresponding post- and pre-linearizers are discussed in detail. It is motivated that the resulting algorithm can be regarded as a generalization of some existing methods. Furthermore, a simply verifiable condition for convergence is presented, which allows the straightforward evaluation of applicability. The proposed method is demonstrated by means of the linearization of a time-varying nonlinear amplifier, which highlights its capability of linearizing significantly distorted signals, illustrates the advantageous convergence behavior, and depicts its robustness against modeling errors.

description: In this study, we evaluated the effects of HBO therapy on oxidant and antioxidant status, and some histopathological parameters after partial hepatectomy in rats. There were three main experimental groups. The first group was sham (S) group (n=12), the second group was partial hepatectomized (PH) group (n=24) and the third group was after partial hepatectomy HBO-treated group (PH+HBO) (n=24). The HBO therapy was started the same day as partial hepatectomy for the PH+HBO group. Three subgroups (n=8) were assigned from the PH and HBO groups. The first, the second and the third subgroups were selected randomly, separated from the main groups and killed 2 days, 4 days and 7 days after partial hepatectomy respectively. Randomized selection from the main experimental groups and killing of the animals were done on the same day. Malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), nitric oxide (NO), mitotic index (MI), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) levels and mean of cells with double nuclei were assessed. In the PH+HBO group, MDA and NO levels were decreased and MI, PCNA, GSH levels were increased significantly compared to the PH group. HBO therapy could activate antioxidant response and reduce oxidant activity after partial hepatectomy.
