title: Privacy Concerns and Acceptance Factors of OSINT for Cybersecurity: A Representative Survey

description: The use of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) to monitor and detect cybersecurity threats is gaining popularity among Cybersecurity Emergency or Incident Response Teams (CERTs/CSIRTs). They increasingly use semi-automated OSINT approaches when monitoring cyber threats for public infrastructure services and incident response. Most of the systems use publicly available data, often focusing on social media due to timely data for situational assessment. As indirect and affected stakeholders, the acceptance of OSINT systems by users, as well as the conditions which influence the acceptance, are relevant for the development of OSINT systems for cybersecurity. Therefore, as part of the ethical and social technology assessment, we conducted a survey (N=1,093), in which we asked participants about their acceptance of OSINT systems, their perceived need for open source surveillance, as well as their privacy behavior and concerns. Further, we tested if the awareness of OSINT is an interactive factor that affects other factors. Our results indicate that cyber threat perception and the perceived need for OSINT are positively related to acceptance, while privacy concerns are negatively related. The awareness of OSINT, however, has only shown effects on people with higher privacy concerns. Here, particularly high OSINT awareness and limited privacy concerns were associated with higher OSINT acceptance. Lastly, we provide implications for further research and the use of OSINT systems for cybersecurity by authorities. As OSINT is a framework rather than a single technology, approaches can be selected and combined to adhere to data minimization and anonymization as well as to leverage improvements in privacy-preserving computation and machine learning innovations. Regarding the use of OSINT, the results suggest to favor approaches that provide transparency to users regarding the use of the systems and the data they gather.
Quantum dilute droplets of dipolar bosons at finite temperature

description: We systematically study the properties of dipolar Bose gases with two- and three-body contact interactions at finite temperature using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov-Popov approximation. In uniform case, we obtain an exciting new extension of the seminal Lee-Huang-Yang corrected equation of state that depends explicitly on the thermal fluctuations and on the coupling constant of the three-body interaction. We investigate, on the other hand, the effects of thermal fluctuations on the occurrence and stability of a droplet state in a Bose-Einstein condensate with strong dipole-dipole interactions. We find that at finite temperature, the droplet phase appears as a narrow peak surrounded by a broader thermal halo. We show that the number of particles inside the droplet decays with increasing temperature.

description: A new mixture autoregressive model based on Student’s t–distribution is proposed. A key feature of our model is that the conditional t–distributions of the component models are based on autoregressions that have multivariate t–distributions as their (low-dimensional) stationary distributions. That autoregressions with such stationary distributions exist is not immediate. Our formulation implies that the conditional mean of each component model is a linear function of past observations and the conditional variance is also time-varying. Compared to previous mixture autoregressive models our model may therefore be useful in applications where the data exhibits rather strong conditional heteroskedasticity. Our formulation also has the theoretical advantage that conditions for stationarity and ergodicity are always met and these properties are much more straightforward to establish than is common in nonlinear autoregressive models. An empirical example employing a realized kernel series constructed from S&P 500 high-frequency intraday data shows that the proposed model performs well in volatility forecasting. Our methodology is implemented in the freely available StMAR Toolbox for MATLAB.

description: The chemical potential of the two-site Hubbard cluster (pair) embedded in the external electric and magnetic fields is studied by exact diagonalization of the Hamiltonian. The formalism of the grand canonical ensemble is adopted. The influence of temperature, Hubbard on-site Coulombic energy $U$ and electron concentration on the chemical potential is investigated and illustrated in figures. In particular, a discontinuous behaviour of the chemical potential (or electron concentration) in the ground state is discussed.

description: Sitting at the top level of the Askey-scheme, Wilson polynomials are regarded as the most general hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials. Instead of a differential equation, they satisfy a second order Sturm-Liouville type difference equation in terms of the Wilson divided-difference operator. This suggests that in order to better understand the distinctive properties of Wilson polynomials and related topics, one should use a function theory that is more natural with respect to the Wilson operator. Inspired by the recent work of Halburd and Korhonen, we establish a full-fledged Nevanlinna theory of the Wilson operator for meromorphic functions of finite order. In particular, we prove a Wilson analogue of the lemma on logarithmic derivatives, which helps us to derive Wilson operator versions of Nevanlinna's Second Fundamental Theorem, some defect relations and Picard's Theorem. These allow us to gain new insights on the distributions of zeros and poles of functions related to the Wilson operator, which is different from the classical viewpoint. We have also obtained a relevant five-value theorem and Clunie type theorem as applications of our theory, as well as a pointwise estimate of the logarithmic Wilson difference, which yields new estimates to the growth of meromorphic solutions to some Wilson difference equations and Wilson interpolation equations.

description: This study examined cyclic non linear structural equation models (SEMs) with an unobserved confounder. The determination of causal direction, identifying whether X causes Y, Y causes X, or X and Y affect each other, is a fundamental issue in science and technology. Unobserved confounding factors are so-called third variables which influence both X and Y. Inclusion of unobserved confounding factors in the model, if they exist, is highly important, as unnoticed confounding variables can result not only in biased estimates but in pseudo-correlation between X and Y, which can distort causal inference. In this article, a cyclic non linear SEM with confounding factors was developed and the causal graph identifiability of the model was proved. The model’s identifiability was confirmed by simulation studies involving synthetic datasets and by application to a real dataset, namely, a Census Income (KDD) dataset containing weighted census data extracted from the 1994 and 1995 current population surveys conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. The model effectively described the relationship between the variables age and wages, and no strong confounding factors effect was detected.

description: In this paper, we introduce a robust estimator of the tail index of a Pareto-type distribution. The estimator is obtained through the use of the minimum density power divergence with an exponential regression model for log-spacings of top order statistics. The proposed estimator is compared to existing minimum density power divergence estimators of the tail index based on fitting an extended Pareto distribution and exponential regression model on log-ratio of spacings of order statistics. We derive the influence function and gross error sensitivity of the proposed estimator of the tail index to study its robustness properties. In addition, a simulation study is conducted to assess the performance of the estimators under different contaminated samples from different distributions. The results show that our proposed estimator of the tail index has better mean square errors and is less sensitive to an increase in the number of top order statistics. In addition, the estimation of the exponential regression model yields estimates of second-order parameters that can be used for estimation of extreme events such as quantiles and exceedance probabilities. The proposed estimator is illustrated with practical datasets on insurance claims and calcium content in soil samples.
Rise in Sea Levels: Fate of Small and Mid-sized Coastal Cities
Creators: name: Nagrika
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The report delves into the critical issue of global sea level rise and its profound impact on India's small and mid-sized coastal cities. It highlights the need for comprehensive sea level monitoring and research at the regional and local level, along with coastal regulations that cannot be easily compromised upon.

Through this Nagrikal series we contextualise some of the important impacts of climate change, like poor air quality, rising sea levels, rising temperatures, and increasing heatwaves with respect to smaller cities. The series highlights  the limited share of knowledge on small cities, climate data availability, and monitoring. By bringing forth the facts and figures about smaller cities that are less talked about, we aim to enrich the discourse from our current understanding in an effort to build resilient small cities.From defining the role of cities, especially the smaller cities, in climate change to exploring the share of such cities in research studies, climate data availability, and monitoring, the series aligns with our objective of creating knowledge for smaller cities to drive meaningful action.

description: In this paper, we reconsider the large-argument asymptotic expansions of the Hankel, Bessel and modified Bessel functions and their derivatives. New integral representations for the remainder terms of these asymptotic expansions are found and used to obtain sharp and realistic error bounds. We also give re-expansions for these remainder terms and provide their error estimates. A detailed discussion on the sharpness of our error bounds and their relation to other results in the literature is given. The techniques used in this paper should also generalize to asymptotic expansions which arise from an application of the method of steepest descents.

description: Chromium dioxide CrO$_2$ belongs to a class of materials called ferromagnetic half-metals, whose peculiar aspect is to act as a metal in one spin orientation and as semiconductor or insulator in the opposite one. Despite numerous experimental and theoretical studies motivated by technologically important applications of this material in spintronics, its fundamental properties such as momentum resolved electron dispersions and Fermi surface have so far remained experimentally inaccessible due to metastability of its surface that instantly reduces to amorphous Cr$_2$O$_3$. In this work, we demonstrate that direct access to the native electronic structure of CrO$_2$ can be achieved with soft-X-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy whose large probing depth penetrates through the Cr$_2$O$_3$ layer. For the first time the electronic dispersions and Fermi surface of CrO$_2$ are measured, which are fundamental prerequisites to solve the long debate on the nature of electronic correlations in this material. Since density functional theory augmented by a relatively weak local Coulomb repulsion gives an exhaustive description of our spectroscopic data, we rule out strong-coupling theories of CrO$_2$. Crucial for the correct interpretation of our experimental data in terms of the valence band dispersions is the understanding of a non-trivial spectral response of CrO$_2$ caused by interference effects in the photoemission process originating from the non-symmorphic space group of the rutile crystal structure of CrO$_2$.

description: This work discourages using the logistic regression (LR) model for estimative purposes when the sample size is small. We propose a new model called the “Robust Bayesian Logistic (RBL) model” that minimizes bias in the estimated logistic regression coefficients when the sample size is small, and covariate corruption is suspected. For the prior specification in the proposed RBL model, all the logistic regression coefficients are assigned independent Student’s t-distribution with the location parameter 0, scale parameter 1, and degree of freedom 7 for the constant term and degree of freedom of 1 for all other regression coefficients. In our experimental study, the proposed RBL model outperforms the Logistic Regression (LR) model by having a lower mean squared error (MSE) in the regression coefficients estimated for all the sample sizes considered. The proposed RBL model has a lower standard deviation than the LR model for all the estimated regression coefficients on the real-life dataset. We suggest that the proposed RBL model be considered for logistic modeling since it generates stable, consistent, and reliable estimates, especially when the sample size is small. The proposed RBL model is a fully Bayesian method implemented in the R environment using the RJAGS package.

description: There is an emerging need for scalable high-performance in-networkrate-limiting because rate-limiters can be used to provide performance isolation. However, existing approaches to in-network rate-limiting are not scalable or TCP-friendly. This paper presents the design of Nimble, a new approach to in-network rate-limiting that is scalable, high performance, and TCP-friendly. Nimble uses meters to scalably provide hardware rate-limiting without any dedicated queuing or buffering resources, and Nimble uses ECN-Shaping for TCP-friendly rate-limit enforcement. Nimble also introduces the first algorithm for configuring in-network rate-limiters to enforce network-wide isolation policies. Through a P4 implementation and experiments with a 100Gbps Barefoot Tofino switch, we find that Nimble is immediately usable and can operate even with high bandwidth rate-limits without needing to recirculate packets or rely on hardware packet generators to generate token refill packets. This overcomes the scalability limitations of prior approaches. Experiments with Apache and Redis show that Nimble can reduce application-level latency by an order of magnitude when compared to not using in-network rate-limiting, and ns-3 simulations demonstrate that Nimble behaves well in larger clusters. We find that Nimble can scale to 100K rate-limiters perswitch when implemented on a Barefoot Tofino switch, and our new rate allocation algorithm reduces rate-limiter updates by a factor of 10x-24x and improves network utilization by 24%.

description: Several recently proposed synapses suffer from limited linearity or constrained means of weight adjustment, which can be overcome by incorporating additional modulating terminals. In this study, we explore the use of ferroelectric Schottky transistors (FE-SBFETs) with either a single or dual gate, which exhibit excellent linearity and demonstrate the potential of the second gate terminal for modulation. The incorporation of multiple gates can enable more sophisticated control of the synapse, resulting in greater flexibility for tuning the synaptic weight. The demonstrated high linearity is critical for precise and accurate weight adjustment, as it allows for a larger number of distinguishable conductive states. Therefore, the incorporation of multiple gates and input terminals represents a promising direction for developing more versatile and high-performance neuromorphic devices.

description: Epidemic spreading has been studied for a long time and most of them are focused on the growing aspect of a single epidemic outbreak. Recently, we extended the study to the case of recurrent epidemics (Sci. Rep. {\bf 5}, 16010 (2015)) but limited only to a single network. We here report from the real data of coupled regions or cities that the recurrent epidemics in two coupled networks are closely related to each other and can show either synchronized outbreak phase where outbreaks occur simultaneously in both networks or mixed outbreak phase where outbreaks occur in one network but do not in another one. To reveal the underlying mechanism, we present a two-layered network model of coupled recurrent epidemics to reproduce the synchronized and mixed outbreak phases. We show that the synchronized outbreak phase is preferred to be triggered in two coupled networks with the same average degree while the mixed outbreak phase is preferred for the case with different average degrees. Further, we show that the coupling between the two layers is preferred to suppress the mixed outbreak phase but enhance the synchronized outbreak phase. A theoretical analysis based on microscopic Markov-chain approach is presented to explain the numerical results. This finding opens a new window for studying the recurrent epidemics in multi-layered networks.

description: Studying the Milky Way disk structure using stars in narrow bins of [Fe/H] and [alpha/Fe] has recently been proposed as a powerful method to understand the Galactic thick and thin disk formation. It has been assumed so far that these mono-abundance populations (MAPs) are also coeval, or mono-age, populations. Here we study this relationship for a Milky Way chemo-dynamical model and show that equivalence between MAPs and mono-age populations exists only for the high-[alpha/Fe] tail, where the chemical evolution curves of different Galactic radii are far apart. At lower [alpha/Fe]-values a MAP is composed of stars with a range in ages, even for small observational uncertainties and a small MAP bin size. Due to the disk inside-out formation, for these MAPs younger stars are typically located at larger radii, which results in negative radial age gradients that can be as large as 2 Gyr/kpc. Positive radial age gradients can result for MAPs at the lowest [alpha/Fe] and highest [Fe/H] end. Such variations with age prevent the simple interpretation of observations for which accurate ages are not available. Studying the variation with radius of the stellar surface density and scale-height in our model, we find good agreement to recent analyses of the APOGEE red-clump (RC) sample when 1-4 Gyr old stars dominate (as expected for the RC). Our results suggest that the APOGEE data are consistent with a Milky Way model for which mono-age populations flare for all ages. We propose observational tests for the validity of our predictions and argue that using accurate age measurements, such as from asteroseismology, is crucial for putting constraints on the Galactic formation and evolution.

description: In this paper we explore the possibility that the sterile neutrino and Dark Matter sectors in the Universe have a common origin. We study the consequences of this assumption in the simple case of coupling the dark sector to the Standard Model via a global $U(1)_{B-L}$, broken down spontaneously by a dark scalar. This dark scalar provides masses to the dark fermions and communicates with the Higgs via a Higgs portal coupling. We find an interesting interplay between Dark Matter annihilation to dark scalars - the CP-even that mixes with the Higgs and the CP-odd which becomes a Goldstone boson, the Majoron - and heavy neutrinos, as well as collider probes via the coupling to the Higgs. Moreover, Dark Matter annihilation into sterile neutrinos and its subsequent decay to gauge bosons and quarks, charged leptons or neutrinos lead to indirect detection signatures which are close to current bounds on the gamma ray flux from the galactic center and dwarf galaxies.

description: Wormholes are hypothetical shortcuts in spacetime that in General Relativity unavoidably violate all of the pointwise energy conditions. In this paper, we consider several wormhole spacetimes that, as opposed to the standard \emph{designer} procedure frequently employed in the literature, arise directly from gravitational actions including additional terms resulting from contractions of the Ricci tensor with the metric, and which are formulated assuming independence between metric and connection (Palatini approach). We reinterpret such wormhole solutions under the prism of General Relativity and study the matter sources that thread them. We discuss the size of violation of the energy conditions in different cases, and how this is related to the same spacetimes when viewed from the modified gravity side.

TOI-1135: Sub-Saturns are Universally Misaligned

description: Stellar obliquity measurements for Jupiter-sized planets reveal two patterns: cooler stars typically host hot Jupiters on aligned orbits, while hotter stars with hot Jupiters often show misalignments; additionally, hot Jupiters are more misaligned than their warmer counterparts. These observations underscore the importance of obliquity measurements for smaller planets like sub-Saturns, which provide a critical layer of constraints on the mechanisms driving spin-orbit misalignments, sensitive to planetary mass. The detection of sub-Saturns, especially warm ones, has been challenging due to their low occurrence and lower SNRs compared to larger gas giants. The TESS mission has significantly advanced this field by providing a statistically meaningful sample of sub-Saturns around bright stars. We present two new measurements of warm sub-Saturns, both misaligned, which, when combined with archival data, show that sub-Saturns are universally misaligned regardless of stellar temperature or orbital period. This discovery allows us to probe stellar obliquity in a previously uncharted domain, introducing a compelling new puzzle and imposing significant constraints on our understanding of the origins and evolution of spin-orbit misalignment.
"Impact of shear connectors on composite action in full-depth precast concrete bridge systems"

description: This theoretical research used the finite element method to model full-depth precast concrete deck slabs. It examined the effects of pocket spacing and number of shear studs per pocket. Results indicat­ed that horizontal shear strength increases with the number of pockets in both supported and continu­ous-span models. Load–deflection curves and slippage values were recorded and compared with experimental tests, confirming that pocket spacing is an important factor and that the number of studs and their config­uration affects the load for slippage induction. The parametric study evaluated effects of shear connector sizes and various numbers of shear studs for distances of 24 and 48 in. (609.6 and 1219.2 mm) between shear pockets for simply supported bridges; however, there is a need for experimental evaluation of shear connector performance on design.

description: The COBRA experiment is investigating neutrinoless double-beta decays of Cd, Zn and Te isotopes with an array of CdZnTe semiconductor detectors. The current development stage consists of 64 CPG-type detectors of 1 ccm size each that will be arranged in form of a 3-dimensional 4 × 4 × 4-array. At the time of writing, the ﬁrst 16-detector layer was installed and has been collecting data since January 2007. The remaining three layers are currently being assembled. Within the course of this work, key experimental components for the COBRA setup have been developed, among them several versions of custom-built preampliﬁers, shapers and large parts of COBRA’s VME-based ADC. Furthermore, the detector suspension and contacting were completely re-designed and the shielding concept was signiﬁcantly enhanced. Based on roughly 4.2 kg · d of data collected with the ﬁrst operational 16-detector layer, a coincidence-based analysis has been performed focusing on neutrinoless double-beta decays of Cd-116, Te-128 and Te-130 into excited states. For one of the decays, previously published limits on the half-life could be improved. Moreover, the power of the coincidence analysis method was demonstrated for decays involving gamma emission.
Wave energy absorption by a floating air bag

description: A floating air bag, ballasted in water, expands and contracts as it heaves under wave action. Connecting the bag to a secondary volume via a turbine transforms the bag into a device capable of generating useful energy from the waves. Small-scale measurements of the device reveal some interesting properties, which are successfully predicted numerically. Owing to its compressibility, the device can have a heave resonance period longer than that of a rigid device of the same shape and size, without any phase control. Furthermore, varying the amount of air in the bag is found to change its shape and hence its dynamic response, while varying the turbine damping or the air volume ratio changes the dynamic response without changing the shape.
