Cylindromyrmex whymperi

description: Cylindromyrmex whymperi (Cameron, 1891)
(ANTWEB: CASENT0173212). (Map 6)
A neotropical species whose origin in Galápagos is uncertain (KEMPF, 1972; LUBIN, 1982; DE ANDRADE, 1998, 2001; BOLTON et al., 2006). Collected for the first time on Santa Cruz in 1906 (WHEELER, 1919), it has now been found on five islands. Little is known about C. whymperi in the archipelago. Nests can be found in dead branches (Maytenus octogona (L. Hér.) DC.). The species also uses galleries constructed by termites (possibly Incisitermes pacificus (Banks, 1901)) (WHEELER, 1924). In the Transition Zone of Wolf volcano on Isabela, workers were collected inside a rotten trunk next to nests of the ants Camponotus macilentus Smith, 1877 and Camponotus planus Smith, 1877. In the Dry Zone one worker was collected in an open forest of B. graveolens. On a recent ant survey on the summit of Alcedo volcano on Isabela, one winged female was observed on leaves of Scalesia microcephala B.L. Rob. This is the first record from the pampa zone at higher altitudes. On Fernandina and in the Littoral Zone of Floreana specimens have not been collected since the first records of STITZ (1932) and SILBERGLIED (1972).
Cylindromyrmex whymperi appears to have been displaced by the invasive ant W. auropunctata on Santa Cruz Island (SILBERGLIED, 1972). This could be the case also for Floreana and Baltra Islands where S. geminata and the “destructive trailing ant” Trichomyrmex destructor (Jerdon, 1851) have invaded large areas of the islands (VON AESCH, 2006; HERRERA & CAUSTON, 2010; HERRERA unpublished data).

description: In this work we present results of the analysis of thermal properties of high-power laser bars obtained by spatially resolved thermoreflectance (TR) spectroscopy. Thermoreflectance is a modulation technique relying on periodic facet temperature modulation induced by pulsed current supply of the laser. The periodic temperature change of the laser induces variation of the refractive index and consequently modulates probe beam reflectivity. The technique has a spatial resolution of about ~1 $μ$m and can be used for temperature mapping over 300 $μ$m x 300 $μ$m area. Information obtained in these experiments provide an insight into thermal processes occurring at devices' facets and consequently lead to increased reliability and substantially longer lifetimes of such structures.

Brachymyrmex heeri

description: Brachymyrmex heeri Forel, 1874
(ANTWEB: CASENT0173228). (Map 7)
Distributed in Central, South America and the Antilles (KEMPF, 1972; BOLTON et al., 2006). Brachymyrmex heeri is an introduced species that was collected for the first time in 2001 (HERRERA & LONGINO, 2008). Often found in the dry areas, it is distributed on five islands in disturbed and natural environments. Nests have been found in roots of C. roseus, sidewalks of streets, and under rocks and rotten trunks in Scalesia and Miconia areas. It has been reported visiting flowers of Gossypium darwinii G. Watt, C. roseus, potted plants and other ornamental plants in gardens. It has also been reported on crops such as coffee (Coffea arabica L.), citrus and bananas. Other records are available from Piscidia carthagenensis Jacq. forests. Workers have been collected on Opuntia megasperma J. T. Howell, G. darwinii, Malus pumila (L.) Mill. and plants of Hibiscus rosa – sinensis L., Ricinus communis L., Spondias purpurea L., Mangifera indica L., Carica papaya L., C. lutea, M. octogona and Cocos nucifera L. Mutualistic interactions with scale insects like Coccus viridis (Green), the invasive cottony cushion scale Icerya purchasi (Maskell, 1878), and unidentified aphids (CAUSTON et al., 2006; VELASCO et al., 2010), could contribute to their spread. Brachymyrmex heeri is considered a minor threat to Galápagos ecosystems (HERRERA & LONGINO, 2008).

description: Massive binaries play significant roles in many fields. Identification of massive stars, particularly massive binaries, is of great importance. In this paper, by adopting the technique of measuring the equivalent widths of several spectral lines, we identified 9,382 early-type stars from LAMOST medium-resolution survey and divided the sample into four groups, T1 ($\sim$O-B4), T2 ($\sim$B5), T3 ($\sim$B7), and T4 ($\sim$B8-A). The relative radial velocities $RV_{\rm rel}$ were calculated using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation. The stars with significant changes of $RV_{\rm rel}$ and at least larger than 15.57km s$^{-1}$ were identified as spectroscopic binaries. We found that the observed spectroscopic binary fractions for the four groups are $24.6\%\pm0.5\%$, $20.8\%\pm0.6\%$, $13.7\%\pm0.3\%$, and $7.4\%\pm0.3\%$, respectively. Assuming that orbital period ($P$) and mass ratio ($q$) have intrinsic distributions as $f(P) \propto P^π$ (1\textless$P$\textless1000 days) and $f(q) \propto q^κ$ (0.1\textless$q$\textless1), respectively, we conducted a series of Monte-Carlo simulations to correct observational biases for estimating the intrinsic multiplicity properties. The results show that the intrinsic binary fractions for the four groups are 68$\%\pm8\%$, 52$\%\pm3\%$, 44$\%\pm6\%$, and 44$\%\pm6\%$, respectively. The best estimated values for $π$ are -1$\pm0.1$, -1.1$\pm0.05$, -1.1$\pm0.1$, and -0.6$\pm0.05$, respectively. The $κ$ cannot be constrained for groups T1 and T2 and is -2.4$\pm0.3$ for group T3 and -1.6$\pm0.3$ for group T4. We confirmed the relationship of a decreasing trend in binary fractions towards late-type stars. No correlation between the spectral type and the orbital period distribution has been found yet, possibly due to the limitation of observational cadence.

description: Camponotus conspicuus zonatus Emery, 1894
(ANTWEB: CASENT0173224). (Map 8)
Known from Central America (Costa Rica) and South America (Brazil and Ecuador) (BOLTON et al., 2006; ANTWEB, 2019). This introduced species is widely dispersed in Galápagos and occurs on 24 islands and islets from the littoral to humid zones. The first specimens were collected in 1975 in the Arid Zone of Santa Cruz Island. Camponotus conspicuus zonatus is a polygyne species that nests under rocks, rotten logs, and in and around buildings. It has been observed visiting flowers of Tournefortia rufo –sericea Hook. F, C. lutea, C. pyriformis and Clerodendrum molle Kunth. Reports also exist of tending of I. purchasi for honeydew (HODDLE et al., 2013). It is common in populated areas of inhabited islands, and can be collected all year round. In the lowlands it can be observed foraging on sandy beaches, between mangrove leaf litter, in branches of C. pyriformis and in patches of Sesuvium spp. It has also been collected in areas with M. octogona, A. germinans, Laguncularia racemosa (L.) C.F. Gaertn) and in forests of B. graveolens with Scutia spicata (Humb.& Bonpl. ex Schult.) Weberb. It has been collected on Passiflora suberosa, C. scouleri, J. thouarsii, B. graveolens, O. echios, H. mancinella. Ipomoea triloba L., M. laricifolia and Parkinsonia aculeata L. Specimens have been registered in the agricultural zone in crops Solanum lycopersicum L., B. oleracea var. italica, Musa acuminata Colla, Citrus x sinensis (L.) Osbeck, C. papaya and Cucumis sativus L.
Camponotus conspicuus zonatus is a nocturnal species, common in urban and disturbed zones. It is often confused with C. macilentus (HERRERA unpublished data) and has quickly invaded natural areas in the archipelago. Camponotus conspicuus zonatus appears to have replaced the endemic species C. macilentus in many localities of the archipelago. Collections of this ant from cargo docks, cargo ships and aircrafts suggest several reintroductions to Galápagos.

description: In general relativity, the energy conditions are invoked to restrict general energy-momentum tensors on physical grounds. We show that in the standard Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) approach to cosmological modeling, where the energy and matter components of the cosmic fluid are unknown, the energy conditions provide model-independent bounds on the behavior of the lookback time of cosmic sources as a function of the redshift for any value of the spatial curvature. We also confront such bounds with a lookback time sample which is built from the age estimates of 32 galaxies lying in the interval $0.11 \lesssim z \lesssim 1.84$ and by assuming the total expanding age of the Universe to be $13.7 \pm 0.2$ Gyr, as obtained from current cosmic microwave background experiments. In agreement with previous results, we show that all energy conditions seem to have been violated at some point of the recent past of cosmic evolution.

description: We present a new financial framework where two families of RL-based agents representing the Liquidity Providers and Liquidity Takers learn simultaneously to satisfy their objective. Thanks to a parametrized reward formulation and the use of Deep RL, each group learns a shared policy able to generalize and interpolate over a wide range of behaviors. This is a step towards a fully RL-based market simulator replicating complex market conditions particularly suited to study the dynamics of the financial market under various scenarios.

description: The thesis is concerned with an optimal control problem with an evolution variational inequality (EVI), involving a maximal monotone operator, as a constraint. This abstract setting can be applied to various cases of elasto plasticity. It is shown that elasto and homogenized plasticity, elasto plasticity with an inertia term and also perfect plasticity can be transformed into a certain EVI. Such an EVI is analyzed in the context of optimal control. Then optimal control problems for each of the mentioned plasticity systems are considered, where the findings in the abstract case are either directly applied (elasto and homogenized plasticity and partly elasto plasticity with an inertia term) or at least partially used (perfect plasticity). In each case, the existence of a global solution to the corresponding optimal control problem is shown. The state equations, and thus the control problems, are then regularized and results regarding approximation of global minimizers by global minimizers of the regularized problems are proved. For the optimal control problem, constrained by the abstract EVI, first and second order optimality conditions are derived, whereas only first order conditions are investigated for optimal control problems governed by plasticity systems. A certain difficulty arises in the case of perfect plasticity due to the non-uniqueness of the displacement and the fact that it is only of bounded deformation. This is the main reason for restricting the optimal control problem to the stress as the only state variable when it comes to optimality conditions. Moreover, for this case numerical experiments are presented. The finite element toolbox FEniCS was used to solve the involved partial differential equations.

description: Camponotus macilentus Smith, 1877
(ANTWEB: CASENT0173216). (Map 9)
This endemic and nocturnal species is uncommon in the archipelago. It was collected for the first time by Charles Darwin in 1835 (SMITH, 1877; WHEELER, 1919; LUBIN, 1984). It is known mainly from dry areas and is rarely found in the humid zones. It is distributed on 13 islands and is known to nest under rocks, and in hollow twigs in dry branches of B. graveolens and M. octogona previously inhabited by termites (WHEELER, 1919, 1924). It has been observed collecting honeydew from scale insects on the trunks and stems of Scalesia gordilloi O. Hamann & Wiumand and it has been reported visiting flowers of C. lutea, C. molle, S. cordata and extrafloral nectaries of O. echios and J. thouarsii (MEIER, 1994; BOADA, 2005; MCMMULLEN, 2011, 2012). C. macilentus has been collected from mangroves (Rhizophora mangle L., L. racemosa), B. graveolens, C. galapageia, under trees of H. mancinella, and in undergrowth (like I. triloba) and ferns. It has also been collected in areas dominated by Psychotria rufipes Hook. f., Z. fagara, S. microcephala, C. pyriformis and P. juliflora. Camponotus macilentus apparently is strongly associated with forests of B. graveolens (HWH, pers. obs.).
Recent sampling (on volcanoes Alcedo and Darwin) show that the species is abundant in better conserved areas. Camponotus macilentus could be threatened by invasive species on Baltra, Floreana, Española and Santa Cruz islands. It was collected for the last time on Santa Cruz in the Littoral Zone in 1996 and in the Humid Zone in 2001 and has not been found since then despite intensive collections in all vegetation zones (using a large number of collecting methods) over the last 12 years. LUBIN (1985) suggested a probable displacement of C. macilentus due to the invasion of Tetramorium bicarinatum (Nylander, 1846) during the Niño event of 1982–1983 on Española. Camponotus macilentus is extremely shy and prefers to escape fast when threatened. In natural habitats it is preyed upon by T. stolzmanni, a crab–spider present in littoral, dry and transition zones, especially in shrubs of C. galapageia (LUBIN, 1983). Camponotus macilentus is a complex of at least 12 subspecies (WHEELER, 1919, 1924, 1933), that requires further study.

description: The analysis of the practices and the tendencies of the users at the time of the search for information on Internet makes it possible to highlight several points. The search for information becomes powerful after knowledge of the typology of the various systems of research. This typology supports the adoption of a methodology of research which one can characterize by pull systems, intelligent agents, etc. In addition, the importance of the structure of the electronic document, correctly elaborated in advance, will support a higher relevance ratio to find information. In our article, the problems turn around the study of the behavior of the users in situation of search for information, as well as the constitution of a pole of documentary resources within a framework of an architectural project. It is noted that the evolution of the documentary resources is related to information technologies.

The development of young children’s understanding of knowledge in others
Creators: name: Boyes, Michael Clifford
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study examined a model of children's role-taking competencies which sought to predict children's role-taking performances by taking into account both children's beliefs about the nature of knowledge (i.e., copy- theoretic or quasi-constructivistic) and the types of knowledge held by other people in the role-taking situation (i.e., physicalistic, logico-mathematical, or fully relativised). Eighty-four 3- to 7-year-old children were first screened to determine which of the potential beliefs about the nature of knowledge they held and then presented with a series of tasks representative of each of the theoretically identified types of knowledge in others. The expectation that only those children who held developmentally more mature beliefs about the nature of knowledge (i.e., quasi-constructivistic) would be capable of understanding the more complex types of knowledge possessed by others was strongly confirmed in the present study. The results of this study were seen to suggest that the proposed model could more adequately account for the development of role-taking skills in young children than previously presented typologies.

description: Between June 1954 and December 1955, Ugo Guanda, editor of the "Fenice", an important publishing series specialized in foreign poetry, tried, through various letters, to involve the well-known intellectual Pier Paolo Pasolini in the editing of a book on Rome that would include photographs. The book, which could also be inspired by foreign works already published by Hachette in France or by Prevert’s famous London guide, could be the first of a long series in which Florence and Venice would subsequently be included. In fact, in the wake of a post-war economic development that showed a new enthusiasm for tourism, the idea of creating a volume with articles written by the most important and well-known writers of the time like Emilio Cecchi, Alberto Moravia or Antonio Cederna, accompanied by important imagery created by illustrious photographers like Renato Castellani and Carlo Lizzani, it seemed to be part of a project suited to the economic and cultural situation of the times. The book that Guanda emphasizes on several occasions with the name "sentimental journey of Rome" is inspired by Pasolini's Sentimental Topography of Friuli published a few years earlier, as well as by the famous A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy by Laurence Stern published in 1768, and would have accompanied the traveller who, conquered by the beauties of Rome, moved aimlessly in search of a complete aesthetic experience. Unfortunately, the great enthusiasm of Guanda subsided due to Pasolini’s failure to respond, overburdened as the filmmaker and writer was with his Ragazzi di vita, under contract with Livio Garzanti since November 1954.

description: It is shown that the Born–Oppenheimer–Huang non-adiabatic coupling terms (NACTs) in a molecular Hamiltonian can be considered as equivalent to a friction force in classical mechanics and consequently responsible for the formation of triatomic species like HeH2+. The classical equation of motion is solved accordingly for a test case of a helium atom approaching an H2+ molecule at its potential minimum along the collinear axis and lines parallel to it and also for the C2v geometry. It is shown that the singular NACTs between the first two excited states slow down the motion of the three quasi-ions (He, H, H)+ while approaching each other and result in substantial loss of kinetic energy in the collision process. These results have profound implications for the formation of di- and triatomic species in the early universe, during the chemical synthesis epoch following the nucleosynthesis that followed the Big Bang.

description: In this paper the methodology and the results of a quasi real-time thermal characterization tool and method for the temperature mapping of circuits and boards based on sensing the infrared radiation will be introduced. With the proposed method the IR radiation-distribution of boards from the close proximity of the sensor card is monitored in quasi real-time. The proposed method is enabling in situ IR measurement among operating cards of a system e.g. in a rack, enabling the immediate detection of potential hot spots in the system. . The elevated temperature encountered in different packaged electronic devices, like digital processors, high power amplifier, high power switches, etc., demands the application of careful temperature-aware design methodologies and the electro-thermal simulations of PCBs. The results of different electro-thermal simulations and modeling in most of the cases give good approximating results and consider the coupled effects of the real surroundings of these cards and other dissipation elements in an operating system. However the simulation time may take hours, and different systems, different surroundings should be simulated again and again. In our expectation, by using contactless temperature measurement procedure the heat distribution and the places of high dissipation elements on an operating PCB board (PCI or AGP cards in a rack-house of a PC) can be measured and localized in a dense rack system, where only a thin measuring board can be inserted between the cards during operation.

Camponotus planus is an endemic diurnal species (WHEELER, 1924; MEIER, 1994). It was collected for the first time by Charles Darwin in 1835 and so far it is recorded on 17 islands. It is common in the Littoral Zone and mangrove patches (foraging between the leaf litter), and it can also be found in dry areas. It is not common in the humid highland zones. It nests in the roots of trees, shrubs, Opuntia sp. (WHEELER, 1924), under rocks, and in dry branches of B. graveolens and rotten logs. Camponotus planus has been recorded feeding on extrafloral nectaries of O. echios, visiting flowers of J. thouarsii (MEIER, 1994; JARAMILLO et al., 2010), tending mealy bugs on stems of S. atractyloides, S. gordilloi and visiting flowers of C. lutea (WHEELER, 1924; BOADA, 2005).
Workers have been collected in areas with C. scouleri, S. microcephala, M. laricifolia, B. graveolens, Z. fagara, C. lutea and W. ovata, P. rufipes, D. lancifolius, T. rufosericea, H. mancinella, M. octogona, P. floribunda. Camponotus planus has also been found on sandy beaches with Sesuvium edmondstonii Hook. f. and C. pyriformis, in the shrub layer dominated by Dodonaea viscosa Jacq. and O. insularis, in fern zones (like Polypodium tridens Kunze, Doryopteris pedata var. palmata (Willd) Hicken), on shrubs of L. peduncularis, in grasses covered with I. triloba, and herbs of Sida salviifolia C. Presl. Camponotus planus is also common in branches and leaves of mangroves (A. germinans, L. racemosa, R. mangle).
Camponotus planus reacts quickly when the nest is disturbed. In natural areas it can be preyed upon by T. stolzmanni, a crab–spider (LUBIN, 1983). Males and queens can be abundant in the hot–rainy season (December–May), especially near the coast, where nuptial flights occur. It can also be found during the cold season (June–November), though it is less active (WHEELER, 1924). Males and queens can be collected around lights of lamps in the streets, houses and on ships. Camponotus planus has been found traveling on tourist boats suggesting that they play a role in species transfer between islands (LOMAS, 2008). Despite its wide distribution in the archipelago C. planus has not been collected on Pinta, Genovesa and Española, however the ant fauna of these islands is poorly studied. Camponotus planus is a complex of at least nine subspecies (WHEELER, 1919, 1924, 1933), that requires further study.

description: The photometric variations due to magnetically confined material around He-strong stars are investigated within the framework of the Rigidly Rotating Magnetosphere (RRM) model. For dipole field topologies, the model is used to explore how the morphology of light curves evolves in response to changes to the observer inclination, magnetic obliquity, rotation rate and optical depth. The general result is that double-minimum light curves arise when the obliquity and/or inclination are close to 90 degrees; no light variations are seen in the opposite limit; and for intermediate cases, single-minimum light curves occur. These findings are interpreted with the aid of a simple, analytical torus model, paving the way for the development of new photometric-based constraints on the fundamental parameters of He-strong stars. Illustrative applications to five stars in the class are presented.

description: Recent experiments in exciton-polariton systems have provided high-precision measurements of the value of the polariton-polariton interaction constant, which is a key parameter that governs the nonlinear dynamics of polariton condensates and potentially enables quantum correlated polaritons. Yet, until now, this parameter has only been addressed theoretically using perturbative treatments or approximations that do not include the composite nature of the excitons. Here, we use a recently developed microscopic description of polaritons involving electrons, holes, and photons, where the interactions between charged particles are assumed to be highly screened. Within this model, we perform an exact four-body calculation of the spin-polarized polariton-polariton and polariton-exciton interaction constants. In the limit of weak light-matter coupling relevant to an atomically thin semiconductor in a microcavity, we obtain excellent agreement with a recently proposed universal form of low-energy polariton-polariton scattering [O. Bleu et al., Phys. Rev. Res. 2, 043185 (2020)]. At stronger light-matter coupling, of relevance to multilayer microcavities, we observe that the interaction constant increases towards that predicted by the Born approximation. We show that in all regimes of interest the interaction constant can be accurately obtained from the exciton-exciton scattering phase shift at negative collision energy, and we argue that this has important implications for interactions in other systems featuring strong light-matter coupling.

description: Visibility relations have been proposed by Henzinger et al. as an abstraction for proving linearizability of concurrent algorithms that obtains modular and reusable proofs. This is in contrast to the customary approach based on exhibiting the algorithm's linearization points. In this paper we apply visibility relations to develop modular proofs for three elegant concurrent snapshot algorithms of Jayanti. The proofs are divided by signatures into components of increasing level of abstraction; the components at higher abstraction levels are shared, i.e., they apply to all three algorithms simultaneously. Importantly, the interface properties mathematically capture Jayanti's original intuitions that have previously been given only informally.

Nylanderia steinheili

description: Nylanderia steinheili (Forel, 1893)
(ANTWEB: CASENT0173233). (Map 11)
This species is found in tropical areas of Central, South America and some Caribbean islands (KEMPF, 1972; BRANDÃO, 1991; BOLTON et al., 2006). Nylanderia steinheili was likely introduced to the Galapagos Islands 20-30 years ago. It was collected for the first time in 2003 in the Humid Zone of Santa Cruz (HERRERA et al., 2014). Since then it has been found in the dry and humid areas and on six islands in the archipelago including in areas that are invaded by W. auropunctata and S. geminata. It has been found nesting under stones, logs, and rotten trunks. Workers were collected in gardens, P. guajava forest and open areas of urban, natural and cultivated zones. Nylanderia steinheili is also reported from shade–grown coffee zones and associated with anthropogenic areas. Its behavior in other parts of the world suggests that it is not a threat for the fauna of the archipelago (VARGAS et al., 2006; MCGLYNN & KIRKSEY, 2000; REYES, 2010; KALLAL & LAPOLLA, 2012; HERRERA et al., 2014), however a monitoring program is suggested.

description: In the context of the introduction of intermittent renewable energies, we propose to optimize the main variables of the control rods of a nuclear power plant to improve its capability to load-follow. The design problem is a black-box combinatorial optimization problem with expensive evaluation based on a multi-physics simulator. Therefore, we use a parallel asynchronous master-worker Evolutionary Algorithm scaling up to thousand computing units. One main issue is the tuning of the algorithm parameters. A fitness landscape analysis is conducted on this expensive real-world problem to show that it would be possible to tune the mutation parameters according to the low-cost estimation of the fitness landscape features.

description: In a previous work [arXiv:2009.03428] we proposed a new model for Quantum GRavity(QGR) and cosmology, dubbed $SU(\infty)$-QGR. One of the axioms of this model is that Hilbert spaces of the Universe and its subsystems represent $SU(\infty)$ symmetry group. In this framework, the classical spacetime is interpreted as being the parameter space characterizing states of the $SU(\infty)$ representing Hilbert spaces. Using quantum uncertainty relations, it is shown that the parameter space - the spacetime - has a 3+1 dimensional Lorentzian geometry. Here after a review of $SU(\infty)$-QGR, including the demonstration that its classical limit is Einstein gravity, we compare it with several QGR proposals, including: string and M-theories, loop quantum gravity and related models, and QGR proposals inspired by holographic principle and quantum entanglement. The purpose is to find their common and analogous features, even if they apparently seem to have different roles and interpretations. The hope is that such exercise gives a better understanding of gravity as a universal quantum force and clarifies the physical nature of the spacetime. We identify several common features among the studied models: importance of 2D structures; algebraic decomposition to tensor products; special role of $SU(2)$ group in their formulation; necessity of a quantum time as a relational observable. We discuss how these features can be considered as analogous in different models. We also show that they arise in $SU(\infty)$-QGR without fine-tuning, additional assumptions, or restrictions.

description: Traditional power grids are evolving to keep pace with the demands of the modern age. Smart grids contain integrated IT systems for better management and efficiency, but in doing so, also inherit a plethora of cyber-security threats and vulnerabilities. Denial-of-Service (DoS) is one such threat. At the same time, the smart grid has particular characteristics (e.g. minimal delay tolerance), which can influence the nature of threats and so require special consideration. In this paper, we identify a set of possible smart grid-specific DoS scenarios based on current research, and analyse them in the context of the grid components they target. Based on this, we propose a novel target-based classification scheme and further characterise each scenario by qualitatively exploring it in the context of the underlying grid infrastructure. This culminates in a smart grid-centric analysis of the threat to reveal the nature of DoS in this environment.

description: Likelihood-free inference provides a rigorous approach to preform Bayesian analysis using forward simulations only. The main advantage of likelihood-free methods is its ability to account for complex physical processes and observational effects in forward simulations. Here we explore the potential of likelihood-free forward modeling for Bayesian cosmological inference using the redshift evolution of the cluster abundance combined with weak-lensing mass calibration. We use two complementary likelihood-free methods, namely Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) and Density-Estimation Likelihood-Free Inference (DELFI), to develop an analysis procedure for inference of the cosmological parameters $(Ω_\mathrm{m},σ_8)$ and the mass scale of the survey sample. Adopting an eROSITA-like selection function and a 10-percent scatter in the observable-mass relation in a flat $Λ$CDM cosmology with $Ω_\mathrm{m}=0.286$ and $σ_8=0.82$, we create a synthetic catalog of observable-selected NFW clusters in a survey area of 50 deg$^2$. The stacked tangential shear profile and the number counts in redshift bins are used as summary statistics for both methods. By performing a series of forward simulations, we obtain convergent solutions for the posterior distribution from both methods. We find that ABC recovers broader posteriors than DELFI, especially for the $Ω_\mathrm{m}$ parameter. For a weak-lensing survey with a source density of $n_\mathrm{g}=20$ arcmin$^{-2}$, we obtain posterior constraints on $S_8=σ_8(Ω_\mathrm{m}/0.3)^{0.3}$ of $0.836 \pm 0.032$ and $0.810 \pm 0.019$ from ABC and DELFI, respectively. The analysis framework developed in this study will be particularly powerful for cosmological inference with ongoing cluster cosmology programs, such as the XMM-XXL survey and the eROSITA all-sky survey, in combination with wide-field weak-lensing surveys.
