description: Micro-architectural attacks on computing systems often unearth from simple artefacts in the underlying architecture. In this paper, we focus on the Return Address Stack (RAS), a seemingly tiny hardware stack present in modern processors to reduce the branch miss penalty by storing the return addresses of each function call. The RAS is useful to handle specifically the branch predictions for the RET instructions which are not accurately predicted by the typical branch prediction units. In particular, we envisage a spy process who crafts an overflow condition in the RAS by filling it with arbitrary return addresses and wrestles with a concurrent process to establish a timing side-channel between them. We call this attack principle, RASSLE,1(Return Address Stack based Side-channel Leakage), which an adversary can launch on modern processors by first reverse engineering the RAS using a generic methodology exploiting the established timing channel. Subsequently, we show three concrete attack scenarios: i) How a spy can establish a covert channel with another co-residing process? ii) How RASSLE can be utilized to determine the secret key of the P−384curves in OpenSSL (v1.1.1 library). iii) How an ECDSA secret key on P−256curve of OpenSSL can be revealed using Lattice Attack on partially leaked nonces with the aid of RASSLE. In this attack, we show that the OpenSSL implementation of scalar multiplication on this curve has varying number of add-and-sub function calls, which depends on the secret scalar bits. We demonstrate through several experiments that the number of add-and-sub function calls can be used to template the secret bit, which can be picked up by the spy using the principles of RASSLE. Finally, we demonstrate a full end-to-end attack on OpenSSL’s Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) using curve parameters of curve P−256. In this part of our experiments with RASSLE we abuse the deadline scheduler policy to attain perfect synchronization between the spy and victim, without any aids of induced synchronization from the victim code. This synchronization and timing leakage through RASSLE is sufficient to retrieve the Most Significant bits of the ephemeral nonces used while signature generation, from which we subsequently retrieve the secret signing key of the sender applying the Hidden Number Problem.

description: Background: Deposit contracts, a form of financial incentives in which participants deposit their own money, are an inexpensive intervention with possibly beneficial effects on behavior by utilizing the power of loss aversion. However, uptake might be limited and literature suggests that merely framing an incentive as a loss is more effective than framing it as a gain. This study investigated whether (1) deposit contracts have lower uptake but higher effectiveness compared to traditional rewards, (2) loss framing leads to higher effectiveness, and (3) if these factors interact.
Methods: We used a 2 (incentive type; deposit vs reward) x 2 (feedback frame; gain vs loss) experimental between-subjects design with participant days step goal achieved as primary outcome. Ninety-one respondents were randomized to either deposit 10 euro or receive 10 euro as a reward via a digital bank transfer and received daily feedback for 20 days that was either loss or gain framed.
Results: Uptake of deposit contracts was lower than that of rewards (χ2=8.07, p=.005). Furthermore, a two-way ANOVA showed no main effect of incentive type (p=.159, ηp2=.048), but gain framed feedback was more effective than loss framed feedback (p=.014, ηp2=.14). We did not find an interaction effect (p=.797).
Discussion: The finding that deposit contracts had lower uptake but were equally effective as reward incentives is important since deposit contracts have implementation benefits. Unexpectedly, gain framed feedback was more effective than loss framed feedback. More research into this unexpected framing effect and how to increase uptake of deposit contracts is needed.

description: This paper presents a demonstration of the equivalence between the optimization problem minimizing the supply cost of $p\in \mathbb{N}$ independent District Heating Networks (DHN) and the optimization problem minimizing the supply cost of a single aggregated DHN. This demonstration is presented in three stages. First, we demonstrate the equivalence in the case of two DHNs, each one composed of two plants. In the second stage, we enlarge the demonstration for two DHNs with $n$ plants. Finally, the general demonstration ($p$ DHNs and $n$ plants) is presented. Although the last demonstration includes the previous cases, the two first sections are necessary to understand the general demonstration.

Review of Early Warning Dissemination in Media and Assessment of Flood Early Warning Systems in Media: A case study in West Africa

description: Climate change is projected to exacerbate flood hazards in the future. Around 20% of all floods worldwide occur in Africa. The impact of floods can be mitigated with Flood Early Warning Systems (FEWS). Effective FEWSs need early warning dissemination and sound forecasting modeling. Researchers found that media, and recently also social media, are key stakeholders in warning dissemination. Furthermore, researchers investigated the potential of social media in assessing the accuracy or improving early warning dissemination in FEWS. However, little research on these two aspects has been conducted in West Africa. In this study, we aim to address the current warning dissemination in media and social media in West Africa. Furthermore, we investigate if social media can be used to assess the performance of FANFAR, a FEWS in West Africa predicting streamflow. We queried archives of newspapers, radio, and TV and tweets based on the flood event disaster database EMDAT and identified if early flood warnings are issued and whether they differ between events of different magnitude and between countries. Furthermore, we compared the daily number of tweets to the daily forecasted flood risk by FANFAR on a country scale. We employed a flood event detection algorithm developed by de Bruijn et al., 2019, which uses machine learning to identify flood-related tweets. Results show that radio and TV archives that can be systematically queried are, to the best of our knowledge, not available. However, the assessed newspapers often disseminate the warning that has been issued by a governmental meteorological agency. We found, that in Nigeria, more early warnings are issued in newspapers and tweets with an increase in people affected during a flood. We did not observe this trend in Ghana and could not find any early warnings issued in the Ivory Coast or Burkina Faso. Nevertheless, we found that tweets contain links with potential information about flood warning dissemination. Results also show that tweets indicate flooding reliably. However, we found that the assessment of FANFAR based on only flood-related tweets is not adequate. Additional factors, such as rainfall, or systematic lags between tweets and forecasts, could play a role. These factors should be determined on a regional scale. Mostly the influence of rainfall on tweets limits their usage in FEWSs that predict streamflow, such as FANFAR. Nonetheless, in combination with an authoritative dataset, such as streamflow, tweets could provide additional information. Our findings imply that media and social media can be used as a tool for warning dissemination, a source for warning dissemination research, and as additional data to support the assessment of FEWSs. Especially the projected increase of social media in the future will facilitate the improvement of early warning research and FEWSs.

description: Aimed at deepening the understanding of the eﬀects of climate variability on cocoa pro-duction in West Africa, conditions between 1959 and 2015 are analyzed based on new data sets of meteorological records, soil water content and evapotranspiration. Comparing the relationship of actual and potential evapotranspiration across the region, diﬀerences be-tween cocoa producing countries are found and discussed, aﬃrming that cocoa producing regions in Ghana and Nigeria are the most restricted by water availability. Further, us-ing a machine learning approach (Maxent) the optimal climatic conditions for successful cultivation are determined and used in a model to assess climatic suitability. It is shown, that the precipitation during the driest month of the year is the most speciﬁc predictor of production suitability. The model overall predicts the area suitable for cocoa production with high accuracy (AUC = 0.983). Applying the model to climatic data from past years the average suitability is calculated for every county and year. Comparing its yearly vari-ability with reported yield commonalities are observed, but farming practices are found to aﬀect the recorded yield more signiﬁcantly. Further, the suitability time series shows large areas in Nigeria, Liberia and along the northern borders of the cocoa producing area being vulnerable to prolonged poor weather conditions. These areas are expected to proﬁt most from measures aimed at increasing climate resilience.

description: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic recurrent inflammatory disease affecting the rectum and colon. Numerous epidemiological studies have identified smoking as a protective factor for UC. Dysbiosis of intestinal microbiota and release of inflammatory factors are well-established characteristics associated with UC. Therefore, we have observed that nicotine exhibits the potential to ameliorate colitis symptoms in UC mice. Additionally, it exerts a regulatory effect on colonic microbiota dysbiosis by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria while suppressing harmful bacteria. Combined in vivo and in vitro investigations demonstrate that nicotine primarily impedes the assembly of NLRP3, subsequently inhibiting downstream IL-1β secretion.

description: Alkaloids are among the most important and best-known secondary metabolites as sources of new drugs from medicinal plants and marine organisms. A phytochemical investigation of the whole plant of Crinum asiaticum var. sinicum resulted in the isolation of seven alkaloids (1–7), including one new dimeric compound, bis-(-)-8-demethylmaritidine (1). Their structures were elucidated using NMR and HR-ESI-MS. The absolute configuration of new compound 1 was established by circular dichroism spectroscopy. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in vitro. Among them, compound 1 exhibited the most potent AChE inhibition. Moreover, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were carried out for the most active compound to investigate their binding interactions and dynamics behavior of the AChE protein-ligand complex. Therefore, compound 1 may be a potential candidate for effectively treating Alzheimer’s disease.
