Simulation and Analysis of Insider Attacks
Creators: name: Clark, Christopher Blake
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2013

description: An insider is an individual (usually an employee, contractor, or business partner) that has been trusted with access to an organization's systems and sensitive data for legitimate purposes. A malicious insider abuses this access in a way that negatively impacts the company, such as exposing, modifying, or defacing software and data.
Many algorithms, strategies, and analyses have been developed with the intent of detecting and/or preventing insider attacks. In an academic setting, these tools and approaches show great promise. To be sure of their effectiveness, however, these analyses need to be tested. While real data is available on insider attacks (including logs of actions taken by the insider), the real data is limited in its usefulness. If the analysis being tested passes or fails in detecting the insider attack, how much can be attributed to the analysis's precision, the circumstances of the attack, or just luck? The ability to test an analysis against a wide range of data with circumstances that vary in complexity and circumstance would allow insight into strengths and weaknesses of the analysis. Data for multiples tests would also help in ruling out luck in the results.
To address this, I've built an insider attack simulator that generates test scenarios for analyses. Specifically, it generates logs of employee actions with both insider attacks and false positives hidden within the logs. This simulator allows for customization of the actions that are logged, the average behavior of individuals, the departments within the simulated company, and the abnormal events (including insider attacks) that take place. This thesis will discuss the nature of insider threats, the benefits of a simulator, how to customize the simulation, and how one can gain insight into analyses using logs generated by the simulator.

description: A new dual plasma coating process to produce platinum-free catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction in a fuel cell is introduced. The catalysts thus produced were analysed with various methods. Electrochemical characterisation was carried out by cyclic voltammetry, rotating ring- and rotating ring-disk electrode. The surface porosity of the different catalysts thus obtained was characterised with the nitrogen gas adsorption technique and scanning electron microscopy was used to determine the growth mechanisms of the films. It is shown that catalytically active compounds can be produced with this dual plasma process. Furthermore, the catalytic activity can be varied significantly by changing the plasma process parameters. The amount of H$_2$O$_2$ produced was calculated and shows that a 2 electron mechanism is predominant. The plasma coating mechanism does not significantly change the surface BET area and pore size distribution of the carbon support used. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy pictures of the produced films are presented and show the preference of columnar growth mechanisms. By using different carbons as the support it is shown that there is a strong dependence of the catalytic activity that is probably related to the chemical properties of the carbon.
Spectral convergence bounds for classical and quantum Markov processes

description: We introduce a new framework that yields spectral bounds on norms of functions of transition maps for finite, homogeneous Markov chains. The techniques employed work for bounded semigroups, in particular for classical as well as for quantum Markov chains and they do not require additional assumptions like detailed balance, irreducibility or aperiodicity. We use the method in order to derive convergence bounds that improve significantly upon known spectral bounds. The core technical observation is that power-boundedness of transition maps of Markov chains enables a Wiener algebra functional calculus in order to upper bound any norm of any holomorphic function of the transition map. Finally, we discuss how general detailed balance conditions for quantum Markov processes lead to spectral convergence bounds.

description: This novel is written primarily in the mode of a literary realist bildungsroman, with elements of social satire and political farce. The story recounts the events surrounding a contemporary campaign for the United States Senate, structured and narrated in a traditional manner, covering the events leading up to the campaign and delving into the private life of the first-person narrator. The work, though grounded in fiction, draws on personal experience in the political world. Its goal is to capture a particular moment in American political and social history, when the nation was coming to the end of two long wars, the populace was ideologically and socially polarized, political power seesawed from right to left and back in a series of "wave" elections, and technology rapidly transformed the political process--making campaigns longer, more rigorous, and more expensive than ever before. This narrative further seeks to explore universal themes of the will to power, commitment and sacrifice, and loyalty and betrayal. The central figure, a former navy admiral, draws on the archetype of the captain in the American literary tradition, established in Herman Melville's Moby Dick and invoked in Herman Wouk's The Caine Mutiny. It owes a substantial debt to Robert Penn Warren's All the King's Men, Joe Klein's Primary Colors, and Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 1972.

description: The Cremona group of birational transformations of $\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C}$ acts on the space $\mathbb{F}(2)$ of holomorphic foliations on the complex projective plane. Since this action is not compatible with the natural graduation of $\mathbb{F}(2)$ by the degree, its description is complicated. The fixed points of the action are essentially described by Cantat-Favre in \cite{CF}. In that paper we are interested in problems of "aberration of the degree" that is pairs $(ϕ,\mathcal{F})\in\mathrm{Bir}(\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C})\times\mathbb{F}(2)$ for which $\degϕ^*\mathcal{F}

description: Cities can be characterised and modelled through different urban measures. Consistency within these observables is crucial in order to advance towards a science of cities. Bettencourt et al have proposed that many of these urban measures can be predicted through universal scaling laws. We develop a framework to consistently define cities, using commuting to work and population density thresholds, and construct thousands of realisations of systems of cities with different boundaries for England and Wales. These serve as a laboratory for the scaling analysis of a large set of urban indicators. The analysis shows that population size alone does not provide enough information to describe or predict the state of a city as previously proposed, indicating that the expected scaling laws are not corroborated. We found that most urban indicators scale linearly with city size regardless of the definition of the urban boundaries. However, when non-linear correlations are present, the exponent fluctuates considerably.

description: We report wide-range optical investigations on transparent conducting networks made from separated (semiconducting, metallic) and reference (mixed) single-walled carbon nanotubes, complemented by transport measurements. Comparing the intrinsic frequency-dependent conductivity of the nanotubes with that of the networks, we conclude that higher intrinsic conductivity results in better transport properties, indicating that the properties of the nanotubes are at least as much important as the contacts. We find that HNO3 doping offers a larger improvement in transparent conductive quality than separation. Spontaneous dedoping occurs in all samples but is most effective in films made of doped metallic tubes, where the sheet conductance returns close to its original value within 24 hours.

description: Numerical simulations of soft-core frictionless disks in two dimensions are carried out to study behavior of a simple liquid as a function of thermal temperature $T$, packing fraction $ϕ$, and uniform applied shear strain rate $\dotγ$. Inferring the hard-core limit from our soft-core results, we find that it depends on the two parameters $ϕ$ and $T/\dotγ$. $T/\dotγ\to 0$ defines the athermal limit in which a shear driven jamming transition occurs at a well defined $ϕ_J$. $T/\dotγ\to\infty$ defines the thermalized limit where an equilibrium glass transition may take place at a $ϕ_G$. This conclusion argues that athermal jamming and equilibrium glassy behavior are not controlled by the same critical point. Preliminary results suggest $ϕ_G

description: We formulate gaussian and circular random-matrix models representing a coupled system consisting of an absorbing and an amplifying resonator, which are mutually related by a generalized time-reversal symmetry. Motivated by optical realizations of such systems we consider a PT or a PTT' time-reversal symmetry, which impose different constraints on magneto-optical effects, and then focus on five common settings. For each of these, we determine the eigenvalue distribution in the complex plane in the short-wavelength limit, which reveals that the fraction of real eigenvalues among all eigenvalues in the spectrum vanishes if all classical scales are kept fixed. Numerically, we find that the transition from real to complex eigenvalues in the various ensembles display a different dependence on the coupling strength between the two resonators. These differences can be linked to the level spacing statistics in the hermitian limit of the considered models.

description: This thesis details the implementation of Affordance Templates with a compliance controller to pseudo-autonomously perform complex contact tasks in industrial environments. Multiple action planning methods were evaluated, and ATs were chosen as the best option for industry use due to their intuitive user interface. Two Affordance Template packages were implemented and evaluated to determine the package best suited for use by novice operators. That package was then implemented in conjunction with a compliance controller in the form of a remote demonstration to showcase reduction in operator cognitive burden by automatically managing contact forces and significant command latency (approx 250 ms) during task performance. The results showed that ATs greatly reduced task execution time and number of errors compared to manual control, with added compliance reducing AT set up time. Finally, this thesis introduces Affordance Primitives, which were created to increase the flexibility of Affordance Templates and present a path for future development in the field of automated task planning.

Controlling cyanobacterial harmful blooms in freshwater ecosystems
Creators: name: Paerl, Hans W.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Cyanobacteria's long evolutionary history has enabled them to adapt to geochemical and climatic changes, and more recent human and climatic modifications of aquatic ecosystems, including nutrient over-enrichment, hydrologic modifications, and global warming. Harmful (toxic, hypoxia-generating, food web altering) cyanobacterial bloom (CyanoHAB) genera are controlled by the synergistic effects of nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) supplies, light, temperature, water residence/flushing times, and biotic interactions. Accordingly, mitigation strategies are focused on manipulating these dynamic factors. Strategies based on physical, chemical (algaecide) and biological manipulations can be effective in reducing CyanoHABs. However, these strategies should invariably be accompanied by nutrient (both nitrogen and phosphorus in most cases) input reductions to ensure long-term success and sustainability. While the applicability and feasibility of various controls and management approaches is focused on freshwater ecosystems, they will also be applicable to estuarine and coastal ecosystems. In order to ensure long-term control of CyanoHABs, these strategies should be adaptive to climatic variability and change, because nutrient-CyanoHAB thresholds will likely be altered in a climatically more-extreme world.

description: The formation of an adatom adsorption structure in dynamic force microscopy experiment is shown as a result of the spontaneous appearance of shear strain caused by external supercritical heating. This transition is described by the Kelvin-Voigt equation for a viscoelastic medium, the relaxation Landau-Khalatnikov equation for shear stress, and the relaxation equation for temperature. It is shown that these equations formally coincide with the synergetic Lorenz system, where the shear strain acts as the order parameter, the conjugate field is reduced to the stress, and the temperature is the control parameter. Within the adiabatic approximation, the steady-state values of these quantities are found. Taking into account the sample shear modulus vs strain dependence, the formation of the adatom adsorption configuration is described as the first-order transition. The critical temperature of the tip linearly increases with the growth of the effective value of the sample shear modulus and decreases with the growth of its typical value.

description: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has created a knowledge gap between the Northern and the Southern hemispheres, which is very marked for white dwarfs: Only ≃15 per cent of the known white dwarfs are south of the equator. Here, we make use of the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) ATLAS survey, one of the first surveys obtaining deep, optical, multiband photometry over a large area of the southern skies, to remedy this situation. Applying the colour and proper-motion selection developed in our previous work on SDSS to the most recent internal data release (2016 April 25) of VST ATLAS, we created a catalogue of ≃4200 moderately bright (g ≤ 19), high-confidence southern white dwarf candidates, which can be followed up individually with both the large array of southern telescopes or in bulk with ESO's forthcoming multi-object spectrograph 4MOST.

description: BACKGROUND: Efficient approaches are needed for delivering nonpharmacological interventions for management of knee osteoarthritis (OA).

OBJECTIVE: This trial compared group-based versus individual physical therapy interventions for management of knee OA.

DESIGN AND METHODS: Three hundred twenty patients with knee OA at the VA Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, (mean age=60 years, 88% male, 58% nonwhite) were randomly assigned to receive either the group intervention (group physical therapy; six 1-hour sessions, typically 8 participants per group) or the individual intervention (individual physical therapy; two 1-hour sessions). Both programs included instruction in home exercise, joint protection techniques, and individual physical therapist evaluation. The primary outcome measure was the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC; range=0-96, higher scores indicate worse symptoms), measured at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks. The secondary outcome measure was the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB; range=0-12, higher scores indicate better performance), measured at baseline and 12 weeks. Linear mixed models assessed the difference in WOMAC scores between arms.

RESULTS: At 12 weeks, WOMAC scores were 2.7 points lower in the group physical therapy arm compared with the individual physical therapy arm (95% confidence interval [CI]-5.9, 0.5; P=.10), indicating no between-group difference. At 24 weeks, WOMAC scores were 1.3 points lower in the group physical therapy arm compared with the individual physical therapy arm (95% CI-4.6, 2.0; P=.44), indicating no significant between-group difference. At 12 weeks, SPPB scores were 0.1 points lower in the group physical therapy arm compared with the individual physical therapy arm (95% CI-0.5, 0.2; P=.53), indicating no difference between groups.

LIMITATIONS: This study was conducted in one VA medical center. Outcome assessors were blinded, but participants and physical therapists were not blinded.

CONCLUSIONS: Group physical therapy was not more effective than individual physical therapy for primary and secondary study outcomes. Either group physical therapy or individual physical therapy may be a reasonable delivery model for health care systems to consider.

Entropy production and the climate
Creators: name: Gibbins, Rose Goodwin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: The entropy production rate of the climate is a topic of active study but ongoing confusion, spurred by the yet-unproven hypothesis that the climate system might be organising itself to maximise its entropy production rate and, more broadly, the potential of probing our climate from unorthodox simplifying perspectives. In this thesis, a re-examination of some fundamentals in this topic is offered. Two main suggestions for a climate-relevant global entropy production rate have been established in the literature: one which focuses on non-radiative processes only (labelled 'material') and one which includes all radiative and non-radiative processes (labelled 'planetary'). Another physically-motivated entropy production rate is introduced and investigated here -- the transfer entropy production rate -- which distinguishes radiation according to the role it plays within the system, considering only entropy production due to those transfers of energy which occur within the climate. Various lines of reasoning and evidence point towards the new rate being physically meaningful, which is significant especially as it offers a re-interpretation of the entropy production optimisation hypothesis. Next, the response of entropy production rates to changing climate conditions is investigated and the results used to verify a simple conceptual model capable of predicting the direction of the changes. The transfer and material entropy production rates are found to be significantly more responsive than the planetary rate to the climate's state and they both are able to resolve changes which surface temperature cannot: a simple solar radiation management scenario is found to be able to restore global average surface temperature but not the entropy production rates. Finally, the measurement of the entropy production budget via radiation information in observational and GCM datasets is explored. A new method for accounting for entropy storage in the recently published CERES SYN1deg entropy flux dataset is demonstrated, which makes it possible to estimate the material and transfer entropy production rates from that dataset. This reveals that the transfer and material entropy production rates have increased in line with temperature over the past 20 years and that entropy production rates are higher in years with higher solar absorption. Furthermore, there is a hemispheric asymmetry of entropy production, with more occurring in the Northern hemisphere. The global mean material entropy production rate is 55.3 mW/m^2K and the transfer entropy production rate, 82.0 mW/m^2K in that dataset between March 2000 and February 2018. As a whole, this investigation deepens our understanding of entropy production in the climate and offers new definitions, frameworks and observed patterns to stimulate further research.
A Generalized Family of Post-Newtonian Dedekind Ellipsoids

description: We derive a family of Post-Newtonian (PN) Dedekind ellipsoids to first order. They describe non-axially symmetric, homogeneous, and rotating figures of equilibrium. The sequence of the Newtonian Dedekind ellipsoids allows for an axially symmetric limit in which a uniformly rotating Maclaurin spheroid is recovered. However, the approach taken by Chandrasekhar & Elbert (1974) to find the PN Dedekind ellipsoids excludes such a limit. In Gürlebeck & Petroff (2010), we considered an extension to their work that permits a limit of 1 PN Maclaurin ellipsoids. Here we further detail the sequence and demonstrate that a choice of parameters exists with which the singularity formerly found in Chandrasekhar & Elbert (1974) along the sequence of PN Dedekind ellipsoids is removed.

Using the effective-field theory (EFT) with correlation in single site cluster we calculate the phase diagrams in the $H-T$ and $Ω-T$ planes for the square ($z=4$) lattices. We have only found second order phase transitions for all values of fields and reentrant behavior was not observed.
Active recognition and domain adaptation for 6D object pose estimation

description: Object pose estimation is an important task in computer vision with a wide range of applications including robotics and Augmented Reality. I investigate the problems of occlusion and lack of annotated real data in 6D object pose estimation in this thesis. The main contributions of this thesis are building a 6D object pose estimation system for a crowded scene for both single image and multiple images, and a proposal of a new self-supervised learning framework. The thesis first introduces a single-image pose estimation framework for a crowded scene, where the objects are under severe occlusions. Existing 6D pose estimators are unable to tackle such challenging scenarios, motivating the research towards end-to-end multi-task learning framework. A new training data generation framework is proposed which produces images of physically plausible object pose with a physics simulation. The second contribution of this thesis explores how a strategic selection of camera movements can facilitate the task of 6D multi-object pose estimation for the crowded scenarios while respecting real-world constraints. The proposed agent learns the camera moves that produce the accurate object poses hypotheses for a given temporal and spatial budget. The last contribution of this thesis is its introduction of self-supervised learning framework for domain adaptation for 6D object pose estimation. Conventionally, Deep Neural Network (DNN) based methods are trained primarily using rendered images of 3D object models. Since such methods do not generalise well to real testing data, DNNs also exploit real RGB images with accurate 6D pose labels. The issue here is in a lack of real annotated data, since annotating 6D poses for 2D images in quality and quantity is hard. A novel self-supervised learning method is proposed, which results in a domain-invariant 6D pose estimator without pose labels of real data.

description: The possibility to determine the pLambda scattering length from the final-state interaction in the reaction pp->pKLambda is investigated experimentally. From a transversely polarized measurement, the K analyzing power (A_N) which, in principle, allows one to extract the spin triplet scattering length is studied. An unexpected energy dependence of the forward/backward symmetric part of A_N is found. The influence of N*-resonances on the pLambda invariant mass spectrum is investigated by exploiting the large acceptance for the process pp->pKLambda->pKppi and is found to be the main source of uncertainty for determining the pLambda scattering length.
Enhancing dynamic symbolic execution via loop summarisation, segmented memory and pending constraints

description: Software has become ubiquitous and its impact is still increasing. The more software is created, the more bugs get introduced into it. With software’s increasing omnipresence, these bugs have a high probability of negative impact on everyday life. There are many efforts aimed at improving software correctness, among which symbolic execution, a program analysis technique that aims to systematically explore all program paths. In this thesis we present three techniques for enhancing symbolic execution. We first present a counterexample-guided inductive synthesis approach to summarise a class of loops, called memoryless loops using standard library functions. Our approach can summarize two thirds of memoryless loops we gathered on a set of open-source programs. These loop summaries can be used to: 1) enhance symbolic execution, 2) optimise native code and 3) refactor code. We then propose a technique that avoids expensive forking by using a segmented memory model. In this model, we split memory into segments using pointer alias analysis, so that each symbolic pointer refers to objects in a single segment. This results in a memory model where forking due to symbolic pointer dereferences is reduced. We evaluate our segmented memory model on benchmarks such as SQLite, m4 and make and observe significant decreases in execution time and memory usage. Finally, we present pending constraints, which can enhance scalability of symbolic execution by aggressively prioritising execution paths that are already known to be feasible either via cached solver solutions or seeds. The execution of other paths is deferred until no paths are known to be feasible without using the constraint solver. We evaluate our technique on nine applications, including SQLite3, make and tcpdump, and show it can achieve higher coverage for both seeded and non-seeded exploration.

description: In this work we analyze the instability conditions for spin-density-waves (SDW) formation on the surface of strong topological insulators. We find that for a certain range of Fermi-energies and strength of interactions the SDW state is favored compared to the unmagnetized and the uniform-magnetization states. We also find that the SDW are of spiral nature and for a certain range of parameters a Skyrmion-lattice may form on the surface. We show that this phase may have a non trivial Chern-number even in the absence of an external magnetic field.

description: Background Venous disease is the most common cause of leg ulceration. Treatment of superficial venous reflux has been shown to reduce the rate of ulcer recurrence but the effect of early endovenous ablation of superficial venous reflux on ulcer healing remains unclear. It is generally accepted that there is considerable global variation in the management of leg ulcers. Objectives To determine: the clinical and cost-effectiveness of early endovenous treatment of superficialvenous reflux in addition to standard care compared to standard care alone in patients with venous ulceration; the current standards of global management of venous leg management and the impact on these following the results of the randomised controlled trial. Methods i. The Early Venous Reflux Ablation Trial (EVRA) multi-centre randomised clinical trial of 450 participants compared early versus deferred intervention at 12 months and at 3.5 years. ii. Health professionals treating patients with leg ulcers globally were surveyed before and after the publication of the RCT results to gain insight on the management of venous leg ulceration, and subsequent impact on practice. Results i. EVRA: i. time to ulcer healing was shorter in the early group at 12 months; no clear difference in time to first ulcer recurrence at 3.5 years; early intervention at 3 years is 91% likely to be cost-effective at £20,000/QALY. ii. Surveys: ⁃ Pre/post-EVRA UK primary care: 90/643 responses received; Pre/post-EVRA global clinicians: 799/644 responses were received. Conclusions The EVRA RCT showed that early intervention reduces the time to healing of venous leg ulcers, does not affect the time to recurrent ulceration but is highly likely to be cost-effective and therefore is beneficial for both patients and healthcare providers. The surveys demonstrated that the management of venous ulceration is disparate globally. It is likely that the EVRA RCT results influenced the timing of intervention worldwide.

description: We present a new method based on a Bayesian analysis to identify new members of nearby young kinematic groups. The analysis minimally takes into account the position, proper motion, magnitude and color of a star, but other observables can be readily added (e.g. radial velocity, distance). We use this method to find new young low-mass stars in the βPictoris (βPMG) and AB Doradus (ABDMG) moving groups and in the TW Hydrae (TWA), Tucana-Horologium (THA), Columba, Carina and Argus associations. Starting from a sample of 758 mid-KM (K5V-M5V) stars showing youth indicators such as Hα and X-ray emission, our analysis yields 215 new highly probable low-mass members of the kinematic groups analyzed. One is in TWA, 37 in βPMG, 17 in THA, 20 in Columba, 6 in Carina, 50 in Argus, 33 in ABDMG, and the remaining 51 candidates are likely young but have an ambiguous membership to more than one association. The false alarm rate for new candidates is estimated to be 5% for βPMG and TWA, 10% for THA, Columba, Carina and Argus, and 14% for ABDMG. Our analysis confirms the membership of 58 stars proposed in the literature. Firm membership confirmation of our new candidates will require measurement of their radial velocity (predicted by our analysis), parallax and lithium 6708 Å equivalent width. We have initiated these follow-up observations for a number of candidates and we have identified two stars (2MASSJ0111+1526, 2MASSJ0524-1601) as very strong candidate members of the βPMG and one strong candidate member (2MASSJ0533-5117) of the THA; these three stars have radial velocity measurements confirming their membership and lithium detections consistent with young age. Finally, we proposed that six stars should be considered as new bona fide members of βPMG and ABDMG, one of which being first identified in this work, the others being known candidates from the literature.

description: Background. This study aimed at evaluating both HBV and occult HBV infection prevalence in a cohort of HIV-positive women receiving HAART. Methods. This retrospective laboratory-based study was performed on 1,006 plasma samples collected from women (median age:31 years; range:15-70 years) referred to DREAM centers in Malawi. Anti-HBc, anti-HBs and HBsAg markers were detected by commercial enzyme-immunoassays (Abbott/Murex). Samples resulted with an ?anti-HBc-alone? serological profile were assessed by quantitative branched-HBV-DNA assay (SiemensDiagnostics). Samples under lower detection limit (<2,000 copies/ml) were tested by a semi-quantitative in-house PCR (lower detection limit: 350 copies/ml). Results. Overall, 56.3% samples were anti-HBc+. Of them 56.7% were anti-HBs+. The remaining 43.3% anti-HBs- samples were tested for HBsAg. 8.3% (83/1,006) of patients had an HBV chronic carrier serological profile. Of the 158 samples resulted with an ?anti-HBc-alone? serological profile and tested by branched-DNA assay and/or in-house PCR , 85.8% was HBV-viremic. 12.8% (17/133) showed a plasmatic HBV-DNA viral load >104 copies/ml. 87.2% (117/134) of HBV-DNA-positive samples showed HBV-DNA plasma levels ?104 copies/ml. The frequency of occult HBV infection among patients with an ?anti-HBc-alone? serological profile was 75% (116/155). Conclusions. The prevalence of HBsAg-carriers in the study cohort was 8.3%, confirming Malawi as a high HBV endemic area. Detection of plasmatic HBV-DNA enabled to define an occult HBV infection in 75% of patients with an ?anti-HBc-alone? serological status. This evidence underlines the need of introducing the use of HBV-DNA molecular assays as a diagnostic tool in African settings.
