description: Detecting vulnerabilities within compiled binaries is challenging due to lost high-level code structures and other factors such as architectural dependencies, compilers, and optimization options. To address these obstacles, this research explores vulnerability detection using natural language processing (NLP) embedding techniques with word2vec, BERT, and RoBERTa to learn semantics from intermediate representation (LLVM IR) code. Long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks were trained on embeddings from encoders created using approximately 48k LLVM functions from the Juliet dataset. This study is pioneering in its comparison of word2vec models with multiple bidirectional transformers (BERT, RoBERTa) embeddings built using LLVM code to train neural networks to detect vulnerabilities in compiled binaries. Word2vec Skip-Gram models achieved 92% validation accuracy in detecting vulnerabilities, outperforming word2vec Continuous Bag of Words (CBOW), BERT, and RoBERTa. This suggests that complex contextual embeddings may not provide advantages over simpler word2vec models for this task when a limited number (e.g. 48K) of data samples are used to train the bidirectional transformer-based models. The comparative results provide novel insights into selecting optimal embeddings for learning compiler-independent semantic code representations to advance machine learning detection of vulnerabilities in compiled binaries.

description: Determining optimum water and nitrogen requirements is critical to improve the yield and quality of wheat grown in arid and semiarid regions of the western United States. Because wheat is an important crop in Idaho and Montana, researchers conducted studies in 2016 and 2017 at two Idaho and one Montana Extension center to assess grain yields exposed to varied levels of the two nutrients. Researchers also discuss the effectiveness of two in-season crop sensors to assess the impact, Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI).
Brightening and Fading in the Youngest Galactic Supernova Remnant G1.9+0.3: 13 years of monitoring with the Chandra X-ray Observatory

description: We report results from 13 years of Chandra monitoring of nonthermal X-ray emission from the youngest Galactic supernova remnant G1.9+0.3, the only remnant known to be increasing in brightness. We confirm the spatially-integrated flux increase rate of $(1.2 \pm 0.2)$% yr$^{-1}$ between 1 and 7 keV, but find large spatial variations, from decreases of $-3$% yr$^{-1}$ to increases of 7% yr$^{-1}$, over length scales as small as $10''$ or smaller. We observe relatively little change in spectral slope, though one region shows significant hardening (photon index $ΔΓ\sim 0.4$) as it brightens by 1% yr$^{-1}$. Such rates of change can be accommodated by any of several explanations, including steady evolution of the blast wave, expansion or compression of discrete plasma blobs, strong magnetic turbulence, or variations in magnetic-field aspect angle. Our results do not constrain the mean magnetic-field strength, but a self-consistent picture of the spatially averaged rate of increase can be produced in which the maximum energies of accelerated particles are limited by the remnant age (applying both to electrons and to ions) to about 20 TeV, and the remnant-averaged magnetic field strength is about 30 $μ$G. The deceleration parameter $m$ (average shock radius varying as $t^m$) is about 0.7, consistent with estimates from overall expansion dynamics, and confirming an explosion date of about 1900 CE. Shock-efficiency factors $ε_e$ and $ε_B$ (fractions of shock energy in relativistic electrons and magnetic field) are 0.003 and 0.0002 in this picture. However, the large range of rates of brightness change indicates that such a global model is oversimplified. Temporal variations of photon index, expected to be small but measurable with longer time baselines, can discriminate among possible models.

description: We introduce a quantum-inspired algorithm for graph coloring problems (GCPs) that utilizes qudits in a product state, with each qudit representing a node in the graph and parameterized by d-dimensional spherical coordinates. We propose and benchmark two optimization strategies: qudit gradient descent, initiating qudits in random states and employing gradient descent to minimize a cost function, and qudit local quantum annealing, which adapts the local quantum annealing method to optimize an adiabatic transition from a tractable initial function to a problem-specific cost function. Our approaches are benchmarked against established solutions for standard GCPs, showing that our methods not only rival but frequently surpass the performance of recent state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of solution quality and computational efficiency. The adaptability of our algorithm and its high-quality solutions, achieved with minimal computational resources, point to an advancement in the field of quantum-inspired optimization, with potential applications extending to a broad spectrum of optimization problems.

Considering that a total of 31 females were collected but no males, most certainly this population is also parthenogenetic. This phenomenon has already been observed for other populations of Liocheles australasiae, in distinct islands of the Pacific zone. For details see Lourenço (2008).

description: Text-to-image diffusion models have proven effective for solving many image editing tasks. However, the seemingly straightforward task of seamlessly relocating objects within a scene remains surprisingly challenging. Existing methods addressing this problem often struggle to function reliably in real-world scenarios due to lacking spatial reasoning. In this work, we propose a training-free method, dubbed DiffUHaul, that harnesses the spatial understanding of a localized text-to-image model, for the object dragging task. Blindly manipulating layout inputs of the localized model tends to cause low editing performance due to the intrinsic entanglement of object representation in the model. To this end, we first apply attention masking in each denoising step to make the generation more disentangled across different objects and adopt the self-attention sharing mechanism to preserve the high-level object appearance. Furthermore, we propose a new diffusion anchoring technique: in the early denoising steps, we interpolate the attention features between source and target images to smoothly fuse new layouts with the original appearance; in the later denoising steps, we pass the localized features from the source images to the interpolated images to retain fine-grained object details. To adapt DiffUHaul to real-image editing, we apply a DDPM self-attention bucketing that can better reconstruct real images with the localized model. Finally, we introduce an automated evaluation pipeline for this task and showcase the efficacy of our method. Our results are reinforced through a user preference study.

description: Unikernels, an evolution of LibOSs, are emerging as a virtualization technology to rival those currently used by cloud providers. Unikernels combine the user and kernel space into one "uni"fied memory space and omit functionality that is not necessary for its application to run, thus drastically reducing the required resources. The removed functionality however is far-reaching and includes components that have become common security technologies such as Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), Data Execution Prevention (DEP), and Non-executable bits (NX bits). This raises questions about the real-world security of unikernels. This research presents a quantitative methodology using TF-IDF to analyze the focus of security discussions within unikernel research literature. Based on a corpus of 33 unikernel-related papers spanning 2013-2023, our analysis found that Memory Protection Extensions and Data Execution Prevention were the least frequently occurring topics, while SGX was the most frequent topic. The findings quantify priorities and assumptions in unikernel security research, bringing to light potential risks from underexplored attack surfaces. The quantitative approach is broadly applicable for revealing trends and gaps in niche security domains.

description: Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) have played a significant role in detecting and preventing cyber-attacks within traditional computing systems. It is not surprising that the same technology is being applied to secure Internet of Things (IoT) networks from cyber threats. The limited computational resources available on IoT devices make it challenging to deploy conventional computing-based IDSs. The IDSs designed for IoT environments must also demonstrate high classification performance, utilize low-complexity models, and be of a small size. Despite significant progress in IoT-based intrusion detection, developing models that both achieve high classification performance and maintain reduced complexity remains challenging. In this study, we propose a hybrid CNN architecture composed of a lightweight CNN and bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM) to enhance the performance of IDS on the UNSW-NB15 dataset. The proposed model is specifically designed to run onboard resource-constrained IoT devices and meet their computation capability requirements. Despite the complexity of designing a model that fits the requirements of IoT devices and achieves higher accuracy, our proposed model outperforms the existing research efforts in the literature by achieving an accuracy of 97.28\% for binary classification and 96.91\% for multiclassification.

description: Pair density waves (PDWs) are a inhomogeneous superconducting states whose Cooper pairs possess a finite momentum resulting in a oscillatory gap in space, even in the absence of an external magnetic field. There is growing evidence for the existence of PDW superconducting order in many strongly correlated materials, particularly in the cuprate superconductors and in several other different types of systems.
 A feature of the PDW state is that inherently it has a CDW as a composite order associated with it. Here we study the structure of the electronic topological defects of the PDW, paying special attention to the half-vortex and its electronic structure that can be detected in STM experiments. We discuss tell-tale signatures of the defects in violations of inversion symmetry, in the excitation spectrum and their spectral functions in the presence of topological defects. We discuss the ``Fermi surface'' topology of Bogoliubov quasiparticle of the PDW phases, and we briefly discuss the role of quasiparticle interference.

description: In the effort to learn from extensive collections of distributed data, federated learning has emerged as a promising approach for preserving privacy by using a gradient-sharing mechanism instead of exchanging raw data. However, recent studies show that private training data can be leaked through many gradient attacks. While previous analytical-based attacks have successfully reconstructed input data from fully connected layers, their effectiveness diminishes when applied to convolutional layers. This paper introduces an advanced data leakage method to efficiently exploit convolutional layers' gradients. We present a surprising finding: even with non-fully invertible activation functions, such as ReLU, we can analytically reconstruct training samples from the gradients. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first analytical approach that successfully reconstructs convolutional layer inputs directly from the gradients, bypassing the need to reconstruct layers' outputs. Prior research has mainly concentrated on the weight constraints of convolution layers, overlooking the significance of gradient constraints. Our findings demonstrate that existing analytical methods used to estimate the risk of gradient attacks lack accuracy. In some layers, attacks can be launched with less than 5% of the reported constraints.

description: Large-scale datacenters often experience memory failures, where Uncorrectable Errors (UEs) highlight critical malfunction in Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Existing approaches primarily utilize Correctable Errors (CEs) to predict UEs, yet they typically neglect how these errors vary between different CPU architectures, especially in terms of Error Correction Code (ECC) applicability. In this paper, we investigate the correlation between CEs and UEs across different CPU architectures, including X86 and ARM. Our analysis identifies unique patterns of memory failure associated with each processor platform. Leveraging Machine Learning (ML) techniques on production datasets, we conduct the memory failure prediction in different processors' platforms, achieving up to 15% improvements in F1-score compared to the existing algorithm. Finally, an MLOps (Machine Learning Operations) framework is provided to consistently improve the failure prediction in the production environment.

description: Since 1996, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has taken regulatory action via the Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) to ensure that drugs used to treat bacterial diseases in all food-producing animals, even those not intended for actual food production, are used appropriately and safely. This publication helps livestock owners navigate the directive's complex guidelines by providing the basics contained in the most recently amended VFD: what the directive is, the veterinarian's role, common feed-use antibiotics affected by the regulation, other feed-use and water-use antibiotics approved for use, proper labeling to watch for, an example of a VFD form, lists of permissible feed additives and helpful FDA online resources. Hypothetical case studies involving different kinds of livestock (dairy cattle, swine, poultry, small ruminants) will also help ranchers to problem-solve various scenarios.

description: Cereal grass aphid is a newly invasive aphid pest in North America. It colonizes cultivated crops like wheat, barley and oat, sucking their juices and using them as host sites for reproduction, thus causing considerable damage. Integrating data gleaned from surveys of commercial fields conducted in the Pacific Northwest, this bulletin discusses the pest’s distribution in the region over the past ten years, its identification and biology, the primary signs and symptoms of damage to look for while monitoring your fields, and prevention management practices to adopt. Full-color photography helps growers to identify the bug and the plant injuries it causes and a resource guide provides further assistance, including a comprehensive pest management handbook.

description: As emerging software vulnerabilities continuously threaten enterprises and Internet services, there is a critical need for improved security research capabilities. This paper introduces the Security Exploit Telemetry Collection (SETC) framework - an automated framework to generate reproducible vulnerability exploit data at scale for robust defensive security research. SETC deploys configurable environments to execute and record rich telemetry of vulnerability exploits within isolated containers. Exploits, vulnerable services, monitoring tools, and logging pipelines are defined via modular JSON configurations and deployed on demand. Compared to current manual processes, SETC enables automated, customizable, and repeatable vulnerability testing to produce diverse security telemetry. This research enables scalable exploit data generation to drive innovations in threat modeling, detection methods, analysis techniques, and remediation strategies. The capabilities of the framework are demonstrated through an example scenario. By addressing key barriers in security data generation, SETC represents a valuable platform to support impactful vulnerability and defensive security research.

description: When traveling by car from one location to another, our route is constrained by the road network. The network distance between the two locations is generally longer than the geodetic distance as the crow flies. We report a systematic relation between the statistical properties of these two distances. Empirically, we find a robust scaling between network and geodetic distance distributions for a variety of large motorway networks. A simple consequence is that we typically have to drive $1.3\pm0.1$ times longer than the crow flies. This scaling is not present in standard random networks; rather, it requires non-random adjacency. We develop a set of rules to build a realistic motorway network, also consistent with the above scaling. We hypothesize that the scaling reflects a compromise between two societal needs: high efficiency and accessibility on the one hand, and limitation of costs and other burdens on the other.

description: Idaho’s Teton region is one of the crown jewels of the West—an outdoor recreation area with the spectacular backdrop of the Teton Range and the gateway to Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks. However, the beauty of the region and the tourist crowds mask the economic drivers of the regional economy.
description: What is the foundation of the Teton region’s economy? This study seeks to answer by explaining the workings of the economy and by measuring the contributions of different industries to it, including the contributions of tourism and natural amenities.
description: The economic structure of the region was analyzed using two measures of contributions: gross and economic base. The gross contribution—looking only at the direct economic activity of a particular sector—shows that the trade, government, and service businesses dominate the economy.
description: In contrast, the economic base contribution—the economic activity of an exporting sector plus its supporting nonexporting sectors—shows that the Teton region’s economy is based on agribusinesses and on a cluster of call centers plus higher education (Brigham Young University–Idaho, or BYU–I), and construction.
description: Tourism and other amenity-based industries are a minor part of the economic base of the region.

Type:— JAPAN. The Ryukyus, the Okinawa Islands, Okinawa Island, Onna, 2 October 1949, Tawada 2221 (holotype US!; available from: http://collections.mnh.si.edu/search/botany/?ti=3).
Description: —Herbs perennial, 3–5 cm tall. Stems not articulated, diffuse, branched basally, ca. 1 mm thick; basal stems woody, prostrate, upper stems herbaceous, upright, reddish green. Root fleshy, much-branched. Leaves spirally arranged to alternate, subsessile, without axillary hairs; leaf blade 2–3 mm thick, oblong to obovate, 5–8 mm long, base obtuse, apex obtuse or rounded. Flowers solitary, about 10–15 mm in diameter. Sepals 2, ovate-deltate, about 2 mm long. Petals 5, obovate to nallowly obovate, orangey yellow, mostly without margins overlapping. Stamens 12–15. Ovary ovoid. Stigma usually trilobed or tetralobed; capsule glossy, 2–4 mm long, 2–3 mm wide.
Distribution and habitat:—The Ryukyus, the Okinawa Islands, Okinawa, Aka, Geruma, Tonaki islands. Coastal rocky slopes, xeric, saline, and exposed to direct sunlight. Portulaca okinawensis has also been recorded from Aka, Geruma, Yakabi, Tonaki, Aguni, and Kume islands of the Okinawa Islands (Shinjo & Shinzato 2006). We have not collected samples from these islands. We examined a herbarium specimen of P. okinawensis collected from Yakabi Island (Miyagi 8414, RYU, collected in 1978) but we could not identify it at variety level because of the difficulty in counting of the number of stamens and the discoloring of the petals and stems.

description: This work explores the relationship between two data-analysis methods used in the search for continuous gravitational waves in LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA data: the $\mathcal{F}$-statistic and the 5-vector method. We show that the 5-vector method can be derived from a maximum likelihood framework similar to the $\mathcal{F}$-statistic. Our analysis demonstrates that the two methods are statistically equivalent, providing the same detection probability for a given false alarm rate. We extend this comparison to multiple detectors, highlighting differences from the standard approach that simply combines 5-vectors from each detector. In our maximum likelihood approach, each 5-vector is weighted by the observation time and sensitivity of its respective detector, resulting in efficient estimators and analytical distributions for the detection statistic. Additionally, we present the analytical computation of sensitivity for different searches, expressed in terms of the minimum detectable amplitude.
