description: We present a 576-year tree-ring-based reconstruction of streamflow for northern Utah's Weber River that exhibits considerable interannual and decadal-scale variability. While the 20th Century instrumental period includes several extreme individual dry years, it was the century with the fewest such years of the entire reconstruction. Extended droughts were more severe in duration, magnitude, and intensity prior to the instrumental record, including the most protracted drought of the record, which spanned 16 years from 1703 to 1718. Extreme wet years and periods are also a regular feature of the reconstruction. A strong early 17th Century pluvial exceeds the early 20th Century pluvial in magnitude, duration, and intensity, and dwarfs the 1980s wet period that caused significant flooding along the Wasatch Front. The long-term hydroclimatology of northern Utah is marked by considerable uncertainty; hence, our reconstruction provides water managers with a more complete record of water resource variability for assessment of the risk of droughts and floods for one of the largest and most rapidly growing population centers in the Intermountain West.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Beyond the Spectrum: Detecting Deepfakes via Re-Synthesis

Publisher: name: CISPA
Year: 2023

description: The rapid advances in deep generative models over the past years have led to highly realistic media, known as deepfakes, that are commonly indistinguishable from real to human eyes. These advances make assessing the authenticity of visual data increasingly difficult and pose a misinformation threat to the trustworthiness of visual content in general. Although recent work has shown strong detection accuracy of such deepfakes, the success largely relies on identifying frequency artifacts in the generated images, which will not yield a sustainable detection approach as generative models continue evolving and closing the gap to real images. In order to overcome this issue, we propose a novel fake detection that is designed to re-synthesize testing images and extract visual cues for detection. The re-synthesis procedure is flexible, allowing us to incorporate a series of visual tasks - we adopt super-resolution, denoising and colorization as the re-synthesis. We demonstrate the improved effectiveness, cross-GAN generalization, and robustness against perturbations of our approach in a variety of detection scenarios involving multiple generators over CelebA-HQ, FFHQ, and LSUN datasets.

description: Repair and apoptosis, along with senescence, are tools which an organism can use in a risk management process that balances the threats posed by damaged, existing cells against the difficulty and cost of replacing them.
Occurrence of apoptosis may vary with time (age) and tissue type if an organism can respond flexibly to damage in a way that balances the threat posed by errant cells against the cost of replacing them. Coding of multiple isoforms by genes such as TP53 may contribute to such flexibility.

The optimal duration of a repair attempt will depend on both the difficulty of replacing the cell and the danger which the cell poses to the wider organism. Cells which are difficult to replace justify longer repairs. Cells that pose severe threats justify, at most, short repair attempts because the organism is at risk for the duration of a repair.

Decreasing apoptosis with increasing age, and diminishing likelihood of a successful repair, may contribute to diseases found predominantly in older people.

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Economics
subject: Mathematics
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This paper formulates a conformity test for cointegration in the context of a VAR specification for a multivariate I(1) process. The test statistic is a function of the characteristic roots of the sample covariance matrix of a linear transformation of the cointegral vector; the latter is obtained from unrestricted estimator of the underlying parameters of the VAR. It is further shown that this test procedure is also applicable to the case where the I(1) process is a MIMA(k), i.e. a multivariate integrated moving average process, the moving average being of order k < ∞. The test statistic, under the null of cointegration, has a normal limiting distribution.
A Comprehensive Survey of Voice over IP Security Research

description: We present a comprehensive survey of Voice over IP security academic research, using a set of 245 publications forming a closed cross-citation set. We classify these papers according to an extended version of the VoIP Security Alliance (VoIPSA) Threat Taxonomy. Our goal is to provide a roadmap for researchers seeking to understand existing capabilities and to identify gaps in addressing the numerous threats and vulnerabilities present in VoIP systems. We discuss the implications of our findings with respect to vulnerabilities reported in a variety of VoIP products. We identify two specific problem areas (denial of service, and service abuse) as requiring significant more attention from the research community. We also find that the overwhelming majority of the surveyed work takes a black box view of VoIP systems that avoids examining their internal structure and implementation. Such an approach may miss the mark in terms of addressing the main sources of vulnerabilities, i.e., implementation bugs and misconfigurations. Finally, we argue for further work on understanding cross-protocol and cross-mechanism vulnerabilities (emergent properties), which are the byproduct of a highly complex system-of-systems and an indication of the issues in future large-scale systems.

description: Now that open access is rapidly becoming the mainstream mode of publishing scholarly publications, including monographs and edited collections, integrating open metadata management into book production workflows, library cataloging systems, and long-term preservation solutions is gaining importance and urgency.

This poster showcases the metadata workflow of a collection of small and scholar-led publishers, through the usage of Thoth Open Metadata, a non-profit open source platform providing innovative metadata management and distribution solutions tailored to tackle the problems of getting Open Access works into the book supply chain, ensuring their long-term sustainability and accessibility.

We show how metadata are ingested, managed, and exported to a variety of platforms including, but not limited to, OAPEN, DOAB, JSTOR, and the Open Book Collective; how DOIs get auto-registered with Crossref for books and chapters alike; and how publications are archived in open repositories such as the Internet Archive and Zenodo through the Thoth Open Archiving Network, a novel, open, transparent and auditable alternative to long-term sustainable archiving.

A Kalman Filter for Active Feedback on Rotating External Kink Instabilities in a Tokamak Plasma

description: The first experimental demonstration of feedback suppression of rotating external kink modes near the ideal wall limit in a tokamak using Kalman filtering to discriminate the n = 1 kink mode from background noise is reported. In order to achieve the highest plasma pressure limits in tokamak fusion experiments, feedback stabilization of long-wavelength, external instabilities will be required, and feedback algorithms will need to distinguish the unstable mode from noise due to other magnetohydrodynamic activity. When noise is present in measurements of a system, a Kalman filter can be used to compare the measurements with an internal model, producing a realtime, optimal estimate for the system's state. For the work described here, the Kalman filter contains an internal model that captures the dynamics of a rotating, growing instability and produces an estimate for the instability's amplitude and spatial phase. On the High Beta Tokamak-Extended Pulse (HBT-EP) experiment, the Kalman filter algorithm is implemented using a set of digital, field-programmable gate array controllers with 10 microsecond latencies. The feedback system with the Kalman filter is able to suppress the external kink mode over a broad range of spatial phase angles between the sensed mode and applied control field, and performance is robust at noise levels that render feedback with a classical, proportional gain algorithm ineffective. Scans of filter parameters show good agreement between simulation and experiment, and feedback suppression and excitation of the kink mode are enhanced in experiments when a filter made using optimal parameters from the experimental scans is used.

description: Accuracy in protein biosynthesis is maintained through multiple pathways, with a critical checkpoint occurring at the tRNA aminoacylation step catalyzed by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs). In addition to the editing functions inherent to some synthetases, single-domain trans-editing factors, which are structurally homologous to ARS editing domains, have evolved as alternative mechanisms to correct mistakes in aminoacyl-tRNA synthesis. To date, ARS-like trans-editing domains have been shown to act on specific tRNAs that are mischarged with genetically encoded amino acids. However, structurally related non-protein amino acids are ubiquitous in cells and threaten the proteome. Here, we show that a previously uncharacterized homolog of the bacterial prolyl-tRNA synthetase (ProRS) editing domain edits a known ProRS aminoacylation error, Ala-tRNAPro, but displays even more robust editing of tRNAs misaminoacylated with the non-protein amino acid α-aminobutyrate (2-aminobutyrate, Abu) in vitro and in vivo. Our results indicate that editing by trans-editing domains such as ProXp-x studied here may offer advantages to cells, especially under environmental conditions where concentrations of non-protein amino acids may challenge the substrate specificity of ARSs.

description: This paper focuses on the work and experience of the United Nations (UN) Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in promoting and assisting truth-seeking and reconciliation processes from a human rights perspective, in the context of transitional justice processes. It maps the normative and operational framework to engage in such processes from a human rights perspective, describes the development of an internationally recognized right to the truth for victims of gross violations of human rights, and presents examples of participation and truth-seeking mechanisms for the realization of the right to the truth, namely national consultations and truth commissions. Finally, it addresses the issue of how human-rights-based truth and reconciliation processes can complement justice processes and result in improvements in access to justice for Indigenous Peoples.

description: Aims: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) conjugate vaccines, but China and Thailand have not used Hib vaccination in their national immunization programs. This systematic review aimed to update published economic evaluations of Hib vaccinations and to determine factors that potentially affected their cost-effectiveness. Methods: Searches were performed from the inception until December 2015 using 13 databases: CAB direct; CEA registry; EconLit; EMBASE; E-library; NHSEED; PAHO; POPLINE; PubMed; Redalyc project; RePEc; SciELO; and WHOLIS. Reference lists of relevant studies and grey literature were also searched. Full economic evaluations of Hib vaccination with results of costs and outcomes were included. The WHO checklist was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. Data from eligible studies were extracted using a standardized data collection form. Results: Out of 830 articles, 27 were included. Almost half of the studies (12/27) were conducted in high-income countries. Twelve studies (12/27) investigated the Hib vaccine as an addition to the existing vaccination program. Most studies (17/27) examined a 3-dose schedule of Hib vaccine. Nineteen studies (19/27) reported the model used, where all were decision tree models. Most of the studies (23/27) demonstrated an economic value of Hib vaccination programs, key influential parameters being incidence rates of Hib disease and vaccine price. Conclusions: Hib vaccination programs are mostly found to be cost-effective across geographic regions and country income levels, and Hib vaccination is recommended for inclusion into all national immunization programs. The findings are expected to support policy-makers for making decisions on allocating limited resources of the Hib vaccination program effectively.

description: The energy mitigation properties of buckyballs are investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. A one dimensional buckyball long chain is employed as a unit cell of granular fullerene particles. Two types of buckyballs i.e. C60 and C720 with recoverable and non-recoverable behaviors are chosen respectively. For C60 whose deformation is relatively small, a dissipative contact model is proposed. Over 90% of the total impact energy is proven to be mitigated through interfacial reflection of wave propagation, the van der Waals interaction, covalent potential energy and atomistic kinetic energy evidenced by the decent force attenuation and elongation of transmitted impact. Further, the C720 system is found to outperform its C60 counterpart and is able to mitigate over 99% of the total kinetic energy by using a much shorter chain thanks to its non-recoverable deformation which enhances the four energy dissipation terms. Systematic studies are carried out to elucidate the effects of impactor speed and mass, as well as buckyball size and number on the system energy mitigation performance. This one dimensional buckyball system is especially helpful to deal with the impactor of high impact speed but small mass. The results may shed some lights on the research of high-efficiency energy mitigation material selections and structure designs.
A Relational Theory of Secured Financing

subject: Finance

subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This Article develops a theory of secured financing that posits a debtor-creditor relationship much more complex and refractory than that conceived by conventional analysis. This paradigmatic relationship forms whenever privately issued debt is used to finance a firm's growth opportunities or financial "prospects." Because peculiar stresses may undermine the efforts of both debtor and creditor to exploit such prospects fully, the parties will predictably agree in the credit contract to forego any actions that threaten the relationship. But the manifestations of self-interested behavior are difficult to anticipate, and their interaction with other variables is often complex and unpredictable. In such an environment, the parties frequently are unable to achieve their mutually beneficial objectives through conventional contractual arrangements. Thus, the impetus for secured financing derives from the financing relationship itself and from the parties' desire to exploit it fully. Part I of the Article develops a conceptual analysis of the key determinants of relational financing. Part II tests the predictions of the relational theory against the available evidence of how these credit markets actually function. Finally, Part III uses this relational model of secured financing to evaluate the peculiar legal regime embodied in Article 9 of the Code.

description: Most general-purpose work towards autonomic or self-managing systems has emphasized the front end of the feedback control loop, with some also concerned with controlling the back end enactment of runtime adaptations -- but usually employing an effector technology peculiar to one type of target system. While completely generic "one size fits all" effector technologies seem implausible, we propose a general purpose programming model and interaction layer that abstracts away from the peculiarities of target specific effectors,enabling a uniform approach to controlling and coordinating the low-level execution of reconfigurations, repairs,micro-reboots, etc.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: As in other countries worldwide, adults with severe mental illness in Brazil have elevated rates of HIV infection relative to the general population. However, no HIV prevention interventions have been tested for efficacy with psychiatric patients in Brazil. We conducted participatory research with local providers, community leaders, patient advocates, and patients using an intervention adaptation process designed to balance fidelity to efficacious interventions developed elsewhere with fit to a new context and culture. Our process for adapting these interventions comprised four steps: (1) optimizing fidelity; (2) optimizing fit; (3) balancing fidelity and fit; and (4) pilot testing and refining the intervention. This paper describes how these steps were carried out to produce a Brazilian HIV prevention intervention for people with severe mental illness. Our process may serve as a model for adapting existing efficacious interventions to new groups and cultures, whether at a local, national, or international level.

description: The objective of this document is to list the guidelines for the implementation of standardized methods of microfluidic components. These guidelines will primarily concentrate on creating effective port connections between the macroscale world and the microscale fluidic channels, while also addressing crucial issues connected to alterations in flow dynamics and pressure. This report is based on input from A3.3.1 - A3.3.4.

 

Activity number: A3.3.5 M28

Activity description:  Using input from A3.3.1-A3.3.4, IMTAG with support from INESC MN, TUBITAK, LNE, CEA, CETIAT and EnablingMNT will produce guidelines for the implementation of standardised methods of microfluidic components focusing on port connection from microscale fluidic channels to the macroscale world andassociated changes in flow and pressure. The guidelines will be submitted to standardisation groups such as ISO/TC48/WG3 and WG5, ISO/TC229, CEN/TC332/WG7.Once agreed by the consortium, the coordinator on behalf of IMTAG, INESC MN, TUBITAK, LNE, CEA, CETIAT and EnablingMNT will submit the guidelines to EURAMET as D6: “Guidelines for the implementation of standardised methods of microfluidic components focusing on port connection from microscale fluidic channels to the macroscale world and associated changes in flow and pressure”.

Relationship between developmental modes, flight styles, and wing morphology in birds

description: The aim of this work is to estimate the relationship between developmental mode and flight style, body mass and wing morphology of birds. We revealed high evolutionary correlation between developmental mode and flight style of birds. Different developmental modes, as well as flight styles, repeatedly appeared in birds’ evolution. Precocial birds are associated with continuous-flapping flight. Small altricial birds mostly use passerine-type flight. Soaring birds are large and have an intermediate developmental mode. Developmental strategies and flight styles correlate with differences in body mass and traits of wing morphology (wingspan, wing area, humerus, ulna, manus, and primary feather lengths). Nevertheless, by comparing results of phylogenetic and standard discriminant function analyses, we reveal that phylogeny strongly affects the morphology of wing traits and body mass in birds. When using phylogenetic t-tests, we did not find an association between relative length of wing elements and different developmental mode and flight style groups, except altricial birds with flapping and gliding flight style (Apodidae, Hirundinidae).

description: Background: Persistent transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has given rise to a COVID-19 pandemic. Several vaccines, evoking protective spike antibody responses, conceived in 2020, are being deployed in mass public health vaccination programs. Recent data suggests, however, that as sequence variation in the spike genome accumulates, some vaccines may lose efficacy. Methods: Using a macaque model of SARS-CoV-2 infection, we tested the efficacy of a peptide-based vaccine targeting MHC Class I epitopes on the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein. We administered biodegradable micro-spheres with synthetic peptides and adjuvants to rhesus macaques. Unvaccinated control and vaccinated macaques were challenged with 1 x 108 TCID50 units of SARS-CoV-2, followed by assessment of clinical symptoms, viral load, chest radiographs, sampling of peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid for downstream analysis. Results: Vaccinated animals were free of pneumonia-like infiltrates characteristic of SARS-CoV-2 infection and presented with lower viral loads relative to controls. Gene expression in cells collected from BAL samples of vaccinated macaques revealed a unique signature associated with enhanced development of adaptive immune responses relative to control macaques. Conclusions: We demonstrate that a room temperature stable peptide vaccine based on known immunogenic HLA Class I bound CTL epitopes from the nucleocapsid protein can provide protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection in nonhuman primates.
