Towards a Secure and Practical System to Obfuscate Tor Network Traffic

description: Abstract: Tor (The Onion Routing) has emerged as a promising open-source privacy network for providing anonymous communication in sensitive tasks, such as journalism and activism. However, it is also susceptible to deanonymization attacks, particularly flow correlation attacks, which identify users by correlating unique traffic flow characteristics observed at the ingress and egress segments of a Tor connection. To mitigate these attacks, various traffic obfuscation techniques have been developed; however, they often suffer from bandwidth waste and CPU resource exhaustion, critical issues in the Tor ecosystem where efficient utilization of the limited, voluntarily-shared bandwidth and resource of nodes is crucial. In this paper, we propose ODIN, a Tor-tailored hardware-based security solution that hinders adversaries from launching flow correlation attacks. Unlike previous approaches that primarily added randomly crafted padding bytes to packets, ODIN innovatively minimizes bandwidth waste by slicing and reorganizing packets destined for the same server with the aid of the context of Tor circuits, effectively addressing the issue of wasted network resources.

description: We introduce a discrete model for binary spin-orbit-coupled (SOC) Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) trapped in a deep one-dimensional optical lattice. Two different types of the couplings are considered, with spatial derivatives acting inside each species, or between the species. The discrete system with inter-site couplings dominated by the SOC, while the usual hopping is negligible, \textit{emulates} condensates composed of extremely heavy atoms, as well as those with opposite signs of the effective atomic masses in the two components.\ Stable localized composite states of miscible and immiscible types are constructed. The effect of the SOC on the immiscibility-miscibility transition in the localized complexes, which emulates the phase transition between insulating and conducting states in semiconductors, is studied.

description: Carbonyl compounds are ubiquitous in atmospheric multiphase system participating in gas, particle, and aqueous-phase chemistry. One important compound is methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), as it is detected in significant amounts in the gas phase as well as in cloud water, ice, and rain. Consequently, it can be expected that MEK influences the liquid-phase chemistry. Therefore, the oxidation of MEK and the formation of corresponding oxidation products were investigated in the aqueous phase. Several oxidation products were identified from the oxidation with OH radicals, including 2,3-butanedione, hydroxyacetone, and methylglyoxal. The molar yields were 29.5 % for 2,3-butanedione, 3.0 % for hydroxyacetone, and 9.5 % for methylglyoxal. Since methylglyoxal is often related to the formation of organics in the aqueous phase, MEK should be considered for the formation of aqueous secondary organic aerosol (aqSOA). Based on the experimentally obtained data, a reaction mechanism for the formation of methylglyoxal has been developed and evaluated with a model study. Besides known rate constants, the model contains measured photolysis rate constants for MEK (kp = 5 × 10−5 s−1), 2,3-butanedione (kp = 9 × 10−6 s−1), methylglyoxal (kp = 3 × 10−5 s−1), and hydroxyacetone (kp = 2 × 10−5 s−1). From the model predictions, a branching ratio of 60 /40 for primary/secondary H-atom abstraction at the MEK skeleton was found. This branching ratio reproduces the experiment results very well, especially the methylglyoxal formation, which showed excellent agreement. Overall, this study demonstrates MEK as a methylglyoxal precursor compound for the first time.

description: The reactive leg drop (RLD) assessment is a novel, easy to use assessment of potential fall risk. The purpose of this study was to examine the age-specific differences in RLD performance and determine specific sensory and motor measures that contribute to performance on the RLD assessment. Forty-one men and women (young: n=28; older: n=13) visited the laboratory on one occasion to undergo a body composition assessment, and perform an RLD, maximal and rapid strength, maximal velocity, and kinesthesia assessment. There were age-specific differences in RLD performance for the eyes open (EO) conditions (P=0.006-0.024), but not the eyes closed conditions (P=0.061-0.225). Additionally, shorter EO total duration was associated with higher peak force values (r = -0.342, P= 0.041), but no additional significant (r= -0.002-0.282, P= 0.104-0.991) associations were found. Future studies are needed to examine additional potential contributors of RLD performance in older adults.

Solid core dipoles and switching power supplies: lower cost light sources?

description: As a result of improvements in power semiconductors, moderate frequency switching supplies can now provide the hundreds of amps typically required by accelerators with zero-to-peak noise in the kHz region ~0.06% in current or voltage mode. Modeling was undertaken using a finite electromagnetic program to determine if eddy currents induced in the solid steel of CEBAF magnets and small supplemental additions would bring the error fields down to the 5ppm level needed for beam quality. The expected maximum field of the magnet under consideration is 0.85T and the DC current required to produce that field is used in the calculations. An additional 0.1% current ripple is added to the DC current at discrete frequencies 360 Hz, 720 Hz or 7200 Hz. Over the region of the pole within 0.5% of the central integrated BdL the resulting AC field changes can be reduced to less than 1% of the 0.1% input ripple for all frequencies, and a sixth of that at 7200 Hz. Doubling the current, providing 1.5T central field, yielded the same fractional reduction in ripple at the beam for the cases checked. For light sources with aluminum vacuum vessels and full energy linac injection, the combination of solid core dipoles and switching power supplies may result in significant cost savings.

Voronoi residual analysis of spatial point process models with applications to California earthquake forecasts

description: Many point process models have been proposed for describing and forecasting earthquake occurrences in seismically active zones such as California, but the problem of how best to compare and evaluate the goodness of fit of such models remains open. Existing techniques typically suffer from low power, especially when used for models with very volatile conditional intensities such as those used to describe earthquake clusters. This paper proposes a new residual analysis method for spatial or spatial-temporal point processes involving inspecting the differences between the modeled conditional intensity and the observed number of points over the Voronoi cells generated by the observations. The resulting residuals can be used to construct diagnostic methods of greater statistical power than residuals based on rectangular grids. Following an evaluation of performance using simulated data, the suggested method is used to compare the Epidemic-Type Aftershock Sequence (ETAS) model to the Hector Mine earthquake catalog. The proposed residuals indicate that the ETAS model with uniform background rate appears to slightly but systematically underpredict seismicity along the fault and to overpredict seismicity in along the periphery of the fault.

description: Abstract: Crosswalks between different vocabularies are an indispensable prerequisite for integrated and high­quality search scenarios in distributed data environments. Offered through the web and linked with each other they act as a central link so that users could move back and forth between different data sources being online available.
 In the past, crosswalks between different thesauri have been primarily developed manually. In the long run the intellectual updating of such crosswalks requires huge personnel expenses. Therefore, an integration of automatic matching procedures, as for example Ontology Matching Tools, seems pretty obvious.
 On the basis of computer­generated correspondences between the Thesaurus for Economics (STW) and the Thesaurus for the Social Sciences (TheSoz) our contribution will explore cross­border approaches between IT­assisted tools and procedures on the one hand
 and external quality measurements via domain experts on the other hand. Thus, we will present techniques to semi­automatically perform vocabulary crosswalks. Due to intellectually evaluated results of multiple matching tools in the forerun, quality statements concerning the reliability of further computer­generated crosswalks can be made. This way, the application of various tools
 and procedures gradually contributes to an increase in quality. Moreover, on the long­term it facilitates a continuous update of high­quality vocabulary crosswalks.
Few-Shot Image-to-Semantics Translation for Policy Transfer in Reinforcement Learning

description: We investigate policy transfer using image-to-semantics translation to mitigate learning difficulties in vision-based robotics control agents. This problem assumes two environments: a simulator environment with semantics, that is, low-dimensional and essential information, as the state space, and a real-world environment with images as the state space. By learning mapping from images to semantics, we can transfer a policy, pre-trained in the simulator, to the real world, thereby eliminating real-world on-policy agent interactions to learn, which are costly and risky. In addition, using image-to-semantics mapping is advantageous in terms of the computational efficiency to train the policy and the interpretability of the obtained policy over other types of sim-to-real transfer strategies. To tackle the main difficulty in learning image-to-semantics mapping, namely the human annotation cost for producing a training dataset, we propose two techniques: pair augmentation with the transition function in the simulator environment and active learning. We observed a reduction in the annotation cost without a decline in the performance of the transfer, and the proposed approach outperformed the existing approach without annotation.

Anomalous compressible mode generation by global frame projections of pure Alfven mode

description: Alfven wave is the single most important physical phenomenon of magneto-hydrodynamic turbulence and has far-reaching impact to almost all studies related to astrophysical magnetic field. Yet the restoration of the Alfven wave fluctuations from a given magnetic field, aka the local Alfven wave problem, is never properly addressed in literature albeit its importance. Previous works model the Alfven wave fluctuation as the perturbation along a straight-line, constant magnetic field. However, Lazarian & Pogosyan (2012) suggested that the decomposition of Alfven wave along a straight line, aka. the global frame decomposition, has a factor of discrepancy to the true local Alfven wave fluctuation. Here we provide a geometric interpretation on how the local Alfven wave is related to the global frame through the use of vector frame formulation. We prove both analytically and numerically that the local frame Alfven wave is an orthogonal transformation of that of the global frame and related by the local Alfvenic Mach number. In other words, when we observe Alfven wave in the global frame of reference, some of the Alfven wave will be mistaken as compressible waves. The importance of frame choices have a far-reaching impact to the analytical studies of MHD turbulence. Combining the frame formalism and the new techniques we can have accurate measurement to some of the fundamental turbulence properties like the inclination angle of mean magnetic field relative to the line of sight.

Scintillation correction for astronomical photometry on large and extremely large telescopes with tomographic atmospheric reconstruction
Creators: name: Osborn, James
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We describe a new concept to correct for scintillation noise on high-precision photometry in large and extremely large telescopes using telemetry data from adaptive optics (AO) systems. Most wide-field AO systems designed for the current era of very large telescopes and the next generation of extremely large telescopes require several guide stars to probe the turbulent atmosphere in the volume above the telescope. These data can be used to tomographically reconstruct the atmospheric turbulence profile and phase aberrations of the wavefront in order to assist wide-field AO correction. If the wavefront aberrations and altitude of the atmospheric turbulent layers are known from this tomographic model, then the effect of the scintillation can be calculated numerically and used to normalize the photometric light curve. We show through detailed Monte Carlo simulation that for an 8 m telescope with a 16x16 AO system we can reduce the scintillation noise by an order of magnitude.

description: We use the high-resolution simulation MassiveBlackII to examine scaling relations between black hole mass (MBH) and host galaxy properties (sigma, M*, and LV), finding good agreement with observational data, especially at the high-mass end. The simulations have less intrinsic scatter than observations, and the MBH-LV correlation has the largest scatter, suggesting it may the the least fundamental of the three relations. We find Gaussian scatter about all three relations, except among the highest mass galaxies, which host more massive black holes. Below z~2 the slopes for the full population remain roughly z-independent, and only steepen by 50% by z~4. The normalization of the sigma, LV relations evolve by 0.3, 0.43 dex, while the MBH correlation does not evolve to at least z~2. Testing for selection biases, we find samples selected by MBH or M* have steeper slopes than randomly selected samples. If unaccounted for, such a selection function would find faster evolution than inferred from a randomly selected sample, as objects at the highend of the relation tend to evolve more rapidly. We find a potential bias among high-LBH subsamples (tending to reside in higher mass galaxies), but these bright-AGN exhibit no intrinsic bias relative to fainter ones in equivalent-mass hosts, nor is there a significant difference between active- and inactive-samples. Finally we characterize the evolution of individual black holes along the scaling planes. Below the local relation, black holes grow faster than their host (72% of black holes 0.3 dex below the mean relation have a MBH-M* trajectory steeper than the local relation), while those above have shallower trajectories (only 14% are steeper than local). Black holes tend to grow faster than their hosts until surpassing the local relation, at which point their growth is suppressed while their hosts continue to grow, returning them to the mean relation.

description: Formulation of the dust emission scheme in the global aerosol-climate modeling system ECHAM5-HAM has been improved. Modifications on the surface aerodynamic roughness length, soil moisture and East-Asian soil properties are included in the parameterization, which result in a large impact on the threshold wind friction velocity for aeolian erosion and thus influence the simulated dust emission amount. The annual global mean of dust emission in the year 2000 is reduced by 76.5% and 2.2%, respectively, due to changes in the aerodynamic roughness length and the soil moisture. An inclusion of detailed East-Asian soil properties leads to an increase of 16.6% in the annual global mean of dust emission, which exhibits mainly in the arid and semi-arid areas of northern China and southern Mongolia. Measurements of the surface dust concentrations are collected in remote marine sites globally and in dust source regions of East Asia. The averaged relative differences between model results and measurements are reduced from 17% to 12% in global remote marine sites and from 69% to 30% in East Asia, by including the improvements. Comparisons between model results and available measurements verify a more realistic dust distribution with the improved emission scheme.
Again They Broke the Elderberry and Shit at the Grave: The Moral Economy of the Late Soviet Funerary Sphere
Creators: name: Cochran, Frederick R
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: This paper argues that the ‘moral economy’ of the late Soviet funerary sphere was profoundly impacted by the effects of ‘late socialism.’ Because the atheist Party-state had neglected, underfunded, and at times even attempted to erase the spaces, practices, materials and beliefs concerning death in Soviet society, this area of life was in many cases relegated to the ‘moral economy,’  which functioned on the community-guided premise that such things lay beyond the bounds of the ‘market.' At the core of this moral economy was the ‘informal economy,’ particularly the practices of blat (‘favors’), bribery, and the theft and re-appropriation of goods. I argue that, like the formal and informal economies more broadly, the moral economy of the funerary sphere became unhinged during the period of late socialism, leading many to navigate this contested space in new and old ways. Central to these methods were the ‘middlemen’ of this economy who, as E.P. Thompson’s work described, performed the paradoxical roles of both sustaining the moral economy, as well as becoming targets for the ire and blame of both the Party ‘patrons’ above and the Soviet ‘crowd’ below. Finally, by analyzing discourses related to the topics of death, burial, cemeteries, memory, and ritualization, I argue that the spiritual, economic, and political contours of late socialism infiltrated the Soviet funerary sphere on every level, from the daily lives of cemetery visitors, to discussions in print media, and even within the Party legal-bureaucratic apparatus. I show that these discourses ultimately reflect how the failures of the Soviet funerary sphere, as laid bare in state media and law, constituted a major failure of building an atheist, and therefore socialist society.

description: The object of this study is to provide proof-of-concept research for the development of a Pittsburgh Aerotropolis, focused on the Pittsburgh International Airport, including developable properties within thirty minutes driving time of the airport. An ‘”aerotropolis” is a planned and coordinated multi-modal freight and transportation complex that provides efficient, cost-effective, sustainable, and intermodal connectivity to a defined region of economic significance centered around a major airport. Speed and agility are its hallmarks. The ideal aerotropolis has close access to the four fundamental R’s of transportation: runways, roads, rail, and river. Pittsburgh is uniquely suited for the development of an aerotropolis in the eastern United States because the airport has excess landing capacity and is not landlocked. The goal of the Pittsburgh aerotropolis is to attract new development and jobs to the airport area from outside the region rather than to relocate existing development and jobs from within the region. MGB & Associates (MGB) was engaged by the Department of Economic Development (DED) of the County of Allegheny with participation of the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County and the Allegheny County Airport Authority. MGB brought on Aerotropolis Business Concepts and the Remaking Cities Institute as sub-consultants to provide market and urban design expertise.

description: Abstract: Businesses and governments increasingly apply machine learning and AI techniques for various strategic optimization purposes. Many applications, however, require location data over time of many individuals to train models. Currently, location streams are collected -- often without the end-user's consent or even knowledge -- by means of seemingly innocent smartphone applications that continuously report location data in a background process, raising serious privacy concerns. In this poster, we propose a transparent and privacy-friendly approach that perturbs sensitive location data in two dimensions, namely spatially and temporally. The mechanism can be deployed on mobile devices such that all obfuscation is executed locally, thereby protecting the user even in the presence of an untrustworthy data collector. The viability of the proposed mechanism is demonstrated by generating heat maps and predicting hot spots based on privacy-preserving location streams of many users.
Parameters of type IIP SN 2012A and clumpiness effects

description: The explosion energy and the ejecta mass of a type IIP supernova (SN IIP) derived from hydrodynamic simulations are principal parameters of the explosion theory. However, the number of SNe IIP studied by hydrodynamic modeling is small. Moreover, some doubts exist in regard to the reliability of derived SN IIP parameters. The well-observed type IIP SN 2012A will be studied via hydrodynamic modeling. Their early spectra will be checked for a presence of the ejecta clumpiness. Other observational effects of clumpiness will be explored. Supernova parameters are determined by means of the standard hydrodynamic modeling. The early hydrogen Halpha and Hbeta lines are used for the clumpiness diagnostics. The modified hydrodynamic code is employed to study the clumpiness effect in the light curve and expansion kinematics. We found that SN 20012A is the result of the explosion of a red supergiant with the radius of 715 Rsun. The explosion energy is 5.25x10^50 erg, the ejecta mass is 13.1 Msun, and the total Ni-56 mass is 0.012 Msun. The estimated mass of a progenitor, a main-sequence star, is 15 Msun. The Halpha and Hbeta lines in early spectra indicate that outer ejecta are clumpy. Hydrodynamic simulations show that the clumpiness modifies the early light curve and increases the maximum velocity of the outer layers. The pre-SN 2012A was a normal red supergiant with the progenitor mass of about 15 Msun. The outer layers of ejecta indicate the clumpy structure. The clumpiness of the external layers can increase the maximum expansion velocity.

description: For the first time we present the synthesis of CeO2/Si(O)C core–shell particles prepared by the miniemulsion technique. The Si(O)C core was obtained by means of a polycarbosilane precursor (SMP10), which was subsequently functionalized with ceria and pyrolyzed to the ceramic. The size of these particles could easily be adjusted by varying the surfactants and the surfactant concentration, or by the addition of comonomers. Hence particle sizes ranged from 100 to 1000 nm, tunable by the preparation conditions. All materials were characterized by photon cross correlation spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and elemental mapping investigations. Furthermore, first catalytic tests were carried out by temperature programmed oxidation (TPO) of methane, and the activity of this material in lowering the onset temperature of methane combustion by 262 K was documented.

description: In the present paper, we study the evolutionary conditions for Kelvin--Helmholtz (KH) instability in a high-temperature solar surge observed in NOAA AR11271 using the Solar Dynamics Observatory data on 2011 August 25. We study the propagation of normal MHD modes in a flux tube considering the two cases, notably of untwisted magnetic flux tube and the twisted one. The numerical solution to the dispersion relation shows that the kink ($m = 1$) wave traveling in an untwisted flux tube becomes unstable if the jet speed exceeds $1060$ km\,s$^{-1}$ -- a speed which is inaccessible for solar surges. A weak twist (the ratio of azimuthal to longitudinal magnetic field component) of the internal magnetic field in the range of $0.025$--$0.2$ does not change substantially the critical flow velocity. Thus, one implies that, in general, the kink mode is stable against the KH instability. It turns out, however, that the $m = -2$ and $m = -3$ MHD modes can become unstable when the twist parameter has values between $0.2$ and $0.4$. Therefore, the corresponding critical jet speed for instability onset lies in the range of $93.5$--$99.3$ km\,s$^{-1}$. The instability wave growth rate, depending on the value of the wavelength, is of the order of several dozen inverse milliseconds. It remains to be seen whether these predictions will be observationally validated in future in the coronal jet-like structures in abundant measure.

description: The problem of transitioning smoothly from one audio clip to another arises in many music consumption scenarios, especially as music consumption has moved from professionally curated and live-streamed radios to personal playback devices and services. we present the first steps toward a new method of automatically transitioning from one audio clip to another by discretizing the frequency spectrum into bins and then finding transition times for each bin. We phrase the problem as one of graph flow optimization; specifically min-cut/max-flow.

description: The primary objective is to enhance muon-tomographic image reconstruction capability by providing distinctive information in terms of deciding on the properties of regions or voxels within a probed volume "V" during any point of scanning: threat type, non-threat type, or not-sufficient data. An algorithm (MTclear) is being developed to ray-trace muon tracks and count how many straight tracks are passing through a voxel. If a voxel "v" has sufficient number of straight tracks (t), then "v" is a non-threat type voxel, unless there are sufficient number of scattering points (p) in "v" that will make it a threat-type voxel. The algorithm also keeps track of voxels for which not enough information is known: where p and v both fall below their respective threshold parameters. We present preliminary results showing how the algorithm works on data collected with a Muon Tomography station based on gas electron multipliers operated by our group. The MTclear algorithm provides more comprehensive information to a human operator or to a decision algorithm than that provided by conventional muon-tomographic reconstruction algorithms, in terms of qualitatively determining the threat possibility from a probed volume. This is quite important because only low numbers of cosmic ray source muons are typically available in nature for tomography, while a quick determination of threats is essential.

description: The freezeout of gas-phase species onto cold dust grains can drastically alter the chemistry and the heating-cooling balance of protostellar material. In contrast to well-known species such as carbon monoxide (CO), the freezeout of various carriers of elements with abundances $<10^{-5}$ has not yet been well studied. Our aim here is to study the depletion of chlorine in the protostellar core, OMC-2 FIR 4. We observed transitions of HCl and H2Cl+ towards OMC-2 FIR 4 using the Herschel Space Observatory and Caltech Submillimeter Observatory facilities. Our analysis makes use of state of the art chlorine gas-grain chemical models and newly calculated HCl-H$_{2}$ hyperfine collisional excitation rate coefficients. A narrow emission component in the HCl lines traces the extended envelope, and a broad one traces a more compact central region. The gas-phase HCl abundance in FIR 4 is 9e-11, a factor of only 0.001 that of volatile elemental chlorine. The H2Cl+ lines are detected in absorption and trace a tenuous foreground cloud, where we find no depletion of volatile chlorine. Gas-phase HCl is the tip of the chlorine iceberg in protostellar cores. Using a gas-grain chemical model, we show that the hydrogenation of atomic chlorine on grain surfaces in the dark cloud stage sequesters at least 90% of the volatile chlorine into HCl ice, where it remains in the protostellar stage. About 10% of chlorine is in gaseous atomic form. Gas-phase HCl is a minor, but diagnostically key reservoir, with an abundance of <1e-10 in most of the protostellar core. We find the 35Cl/37Cl ratio in OMC-2 FIR 4 to be 3.2\pm0.1, consistent with the solar system value.
