description: This research will explore methods for more robust management of ecosystems when the underlying dynamics are uncertain. In so doing, this research will seek to bridge mathematical and biological methods that have hitherto been developed largely in isolation, such as optimal control (from decision-theoretic work) and early warning signals (from resilience work) as well as machine learning approaches (from statistics and computer science). To anchor this research in the biology of a real world problem, examples and applications will come from the ecosystem dynamics and economic concerns of marine fisheries. I will pursue three main objectives in this project: (1) Developing an approach to integrate early warning signals into a decision-theory framework (2) exploring how nonparametric Bayesian inference can account for structural uncertainty (unknown unknowns) in ecological dynamics, (3) exploring how active learning approaches in each of these areas could be developed to design adaptive management policies that actively decrease uncertainty. Each of these objectives address active and open questions that span the ecological literature seeking to understand resilience, resource economics literature seeking to optimize the utilization of natural resources in a sustainable manner, and applied mathematics and computer science literature in which these emerging methods seek applications and testing in real systems.

description: In this work, we perform an extensive investigation and construct a portfolio of S-boxes suitable for secure lightweight implementations, which aligns well with the ongoing NIST Lightweight Cryptography competition. In particular, we target good functional properties on the one hand and efficient implementations in terms of AND depth and AND gate complexity on the other. Moreover, we also consider the implementation of the inverse S-box and the possibility for it to share resources with the forward S-box. We take our exploration beyond the conventional small (and even) S-box sizes. Our investigation is twofold: (1) we note that implementations of existing S-boxes are not optimized for the criteria which define masking complexity (AND depth and AND gate complexity) and improve a tool published at FSE 2016 by Stoffelen in order to fill this gap. (2) We search for new S-box designs which take these implementation properties into account from the start. We perform a systematic search based on the properties of not only the S-box but also its inverse as well as an exploration of larger S-box sizes using length-doubling structures. The result of our investigation is not only a wide selection of very good S-boxes, but we also provide complete descriptions of their circuits, enabling their integration into future work.

Swap and Rotate: Lightweight Linear Layers for SPN-based Blockciphers

description: In CHES 2017, Jean et al. presented a paper on “Bit-Sliding” in which the authors proposed lightweight constructions for SPN based block ciphers like AES, PRESENT and SKINNY. The main idea behind these constructions was to reduce the length of the datapath to 1 bit and to reformulate the linear layer for these ciphers so that they require fewer scan flip-flops (which have built-in multiplexer functionality and so larger in area as compared to a simple flip-flop). In this paper, we develop their idea even further in few separate directions. First, we prove that given an arbitrary linear transformation, it is always possible to construct the linear layer using merely 2 scan flip-flops. This points to an optimistic venue to follow to gain further GE reductions, yet the straightforward application of the techniques in our proof to PRESENT and GIFT leads to inefficient implementations of the linear layer, as reducing ourselves to 2 scan flip-flops setting requires thousands of clock cycles and leads to very high latency. Equipped with the well-established formalism on permutation groups, we explore whether we can reduce the number of clock cycles to a practical level, i.e. few hundreds, by adding few more pairs of scan flip flops. For PRESENT, we show that 4 (resp. 8, 12) scan flip-flops are sufficient to complete the permutation layer in 384 (resp. 256, 128) clock cycles. For GIFT, we show that 4 (resp. 8, 10) scan flip flops correspond to 320 (resp. 192, 128) clock cycles. Finally, in order to provide the best of the two worlds (i.e. circuit area and latency), we push our scan flip-flop choices even further to completely eliminate the latency incurred by the permutation layer, without compromising our stringent GE budget. We show that not only 12 scan flip flops are sufficient to execute PRESENT permutation in 64 clock cycles, but also the same scan flip flops can be used readily in a combined encryption decryption circuit. Our final design of PRESENT and GIFT beat the record of Jean et al. and Banik et al. in both latency and in circuit-size metric. We believe that the techniques presented in our work can also be used at choosing bit-sliding-friendly linear layer permutations for the future SPN-based designs.

Cryptanalysis of Forkciphers

Year: 2020

description: The forkcipher framework was designed in 2018 by Andreeva et al. for authenticated encryption of short messages. Two dedicated ciphers were proposed in this framework: ForkAES based on the AES (and its tweakable variant Kiasu-BC), and ForkSkinny based on Skinny. The main motivation is that the forked ciphers should keep the same security as the underlying ciphers, but offer better performances thanks to the larger output. Recent cryptanalysis results at ACNS ’19 have shown that ForkAES actually offers a reduced security margin compared to the AES with an 8-round attack, and this was taken into account in the design of ForkSkinny. In this paper, we present new cryptanalysis results on forkciphers. First we improve the previous attack on ForkAES in order to attack the full 10 rounds. This is the first attack challenging the security of full ForkAES. Then we present the first analysis of ForkSkinny, showing that the best attacks on Skinny can be extended to one round for most ForkSkinny variants, and up to three rounds for ForkSkinny-128-256. This allows to evaluate the security degradation between ForkSkinny and the underlying block cipher. Our analysis shows that all components of a forkcipher must be carefully designed: the attack against ForkAES uses the weak diffusion of the middle rounds in reconstruction queries (going from one ciphertext to the other), but the attack against ForkSkinny uses a weakness of the tweakey schedule in encryption queries (when one branch of the tweakey schedule is skipped).

description: In this paper we develop a number of generic techniques and algorithms in spectral analysis of large linear approximations for use in cryptanalysis. We apply the developed tools for cryptanalysis of ZUC-256 and give a distinguishing attack with complexity around 2236. Although the attack is only 220 times faster than exhaustive key search, the result indicates that ZUC-256 does not provide a source with full 256-bit entropy in the generated keystream, which would be expected from a 256-bit key. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first known academic attack on full ZUC-256 with a computational complexity that is below exhaustive key search.

description: Lakeman, R. (2021). ‘All animals are equal but some are more equal than others’: A discussion of guild capture of psychotherapy and the cost, Psychotherapy and Counselling Today. 3(1), p.24-28
 In 2021 the Australian Government announced the largest planned increase in investment in mental health services in the history of the Commonwealth. In the ‘Prevention, Compassion, Care’, National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Plan (Commonwealth of Australia., 2021), ‘psychotherapy’ is not mentioned (or funded) at all (although ‘treatment’ is mentioned 14 times). Over half of committed expenditure is to extend existing initiatives in which the clinical work will primarily be provided through a small number of guilds at different rates of remuneration for the same work under the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) scheme, Better Access. Meanwhile, the majority of Australians are unable to access a proper subsidised dose of the right therapy, at the right time from the most qualified person (often trained in psychotherapy). This paper discusses how professional guilds have appropriated ‘treatment’ as their own and how treatments provided by professional groups have become over-valued and unaffordable to those most in need. The call for action is for those most qualified to provide psychotherapy to clients most in need be enabled to access a subsidy through the MBS.

description: The Legendre PRF relies on the conjectured pseudorandomness properties of the Legendre symbol with a hidden shift. Originally proposed as a PRG by Damgård at CRYPTO 1988, it was recently suggested as an efficient PRF for multiparty computation purposes by Grassi et al. at CCS 2016. Moreover, the Legendre PRF is being considered for usage in the Ethereum 2.0 blockchain. This paper improves previous attacks on the Legendre PRF and its higher-degree variant due to Khovratovich by reducing the time complexity from O(< (p log p/M) to O(p log2 p/M2) Legendre symbol evaluations when M ≤ 4√ p log2 p queries are available. The practical relevance of our improved attack is demonstrated by breaking three concrete instances of the PRF proposed by the Ethereum foundation. Furthermore, we generalize our attack in a nontrivial way to the higher-degree variant of the Legendre PRF and we point out a large class of weak keys for this construction. Lastly, we provide the first security analysis of two additional generalizations of the Legendre PRF originally proposed by Damgård in the PRG setting, namely the Jacobi PRF and the power residue PRF.

description: At Eurocrypt 2018, Cid et al. introduced the Boomerang Connectivity Table (BCT), a tool to compute the probability of the middle round of a boomerang distinguisher from the description of the cipher’s Sbox(es). Their new table and the following works led to a refined understanding of boomerangs, and resulted in a series of improved attacks. Still, these works only addressed the case of Substitution Permutation Networks, and completely left out the case of ciphers following a Feistel construction. In this article, we address this lack by introducing the FBCT, the Feistel counterpart of the BCT. We show that the coefficient at row Δi, ∇o corresponds to the number of times the second order derivative at points Δi, ∇o) cancels out. We explore the properties of the FBCT and compare it to what is known on the BCT. Taking matters further, we show how to compute the probability of a boomerang switch over multiple rounds with a generic formula.

description: A theoretically reliable key-recovery attack should evaluate not only the non-randomness for the correct key guess but also the randomness for the wrong ones as well. The former has always been the main focus but the absence of the latter can also cause self-contradicted results. In fact, the theoretic discussion of wrong key guesses is overlooked in quite some existing key-recovery attacks, especially the previous cube attack variants based on pure experiments. In this paper, we draw links between the division property and several variants of the cube attack. In addition to the zero-sum property, we further prove that the bias phenomenon, the non-randomness widely utilized in dynamic cube attacks and cube testers, can also be reflected by the division property. Based on such links, we are able to provide several results: Firstly, we give a dynamic cube key-recovery attack on full Grain-128. Compared with Dinur et al.’s original one, this attack is supported by a theoretical analysis of the bias based on a more elaborate assumption. Our attack can recover 3 key bits with a complexity 297.86 and evaluated success probability 99.83%. Thus, the overall complexity for recovering full 128 key bits is 2125. Secondly, now that the bias phenomenon can be efficiently and elaborately evaluated, we further derive new secure bounds for Grain-like primitives (namely Grain-128, Grain-128a, Grain-V1, Plantlet) against both the zero-sum and bias cube testers. Our secure bounds indicate that 256 initialization rounds are not able to guarantee Grain-128 to resist bias-based cube testers. This is an efficient tool for newly designed stream ciphers for determining the number of initialization rounds. Thirdly, we improve Wang et al.’s relaxed term enumeration technique proposed in CRYPTO 2018 and extend their results on Kreyvium and ACORN by 1 and 13 rounds (reaching 892 and 763 rounds) with complexities 2121.19 and 2125.54 respectively. To our knowledge, our results are the current best key-recovery attacks on these two primitives.

description: Therapeutics Letter 33 considers the evidence and principles for drug therapy of chronic non-malignant pain in the older person. Conclusions: Chronic pain, particularly of musculo-skeletal origin, is a common problem for the elderly. Long-term controlled trials in older people with chronic pain are lacking and are needed to guide rational therapy. Physiological changes that occur with aging make older individuals more sensitive to the effects of drugs. Most analgesic drugs provide modest benefit to only a minority of patients. Start with low doses and titrate; symptomatic and functional benefits are evident early (usually within 1-2 weeks). Benefit of each analgesic must be established by a therapeutic trial and reassessed regularly. Overall goal of analgesic therapy is improved function and quality of life.

description: This paper describes about the implementation of Solid State Circuit Breaker in
power system using MOSFET. The high power semiconductor switches can be used to
separate the faulty portions from the rest of the power system in case of abnormal
conditions. The Solid State Circuit Breaker is a topology made in the form of module, can
protect power system and its components from faults. Existing mechanical circuit
breakers are based on the principle of magnetically latching a pair of mechanical
contacts shrouded by an arc chute for arc extinction. Very often unnecessary tripping
results from a phenomenon known as, “rapid rise” which subsequently results in the
demand for frequent maintenance. Due to the long turn-off delay of the present
mechanical circuit breaker, significant voltage sag is experienced in the grid which
affects the sensible loads. The distortions caused by the three phase short circuit can be
reduced to 100 µs in the system with SSCB, in contrast to 100 ms achieved by the present
technology and hence it improves the power quality. The SSCB uses high power anti
parallel switches to carry bidirectional current. The load voltage is sensed and it is used
to turn on and turn off the SSCB. The Eight bus system with SSCB is modeled and
simulated using Matlab/Simulink. The hardware model is developed for implementation
of SSCB using MOSFETand it is tested in the laboratory

description: Abstract Mountain breezes, including katabatic and anabatic flows, and temperature inversions are common features of forested mountain landscapes. However, the effects of mountain breezes on moisture transport in forests and implications for regional climate change are not well understood. A detailed, instrumented study was conducted from July to September 2012 in an even-aged conifer forest in the Oregon Cascade Range to investigate how temperature profiles within the forest canopy influenced atmospheric surface layer processes that ventilate the forest. Subcanopy inversion strength has a bimodal relationship to subcanopy wind speed and moisture flux from the forest. On days with relatively modest heating of the top of the canopy and weak subcanopy inversions, above canopy winds more efficiently mix subcanopy air, leading to greater than average vertical moisture flux and weaker than average along-slope, subcanopy water vapor advection. On days with strong heating of the top of the canopy and a strong subcanopy inversion, vertical moisture flux is suppressed, and daytime downslope winds are stronger than average under the canopy. Increased downslope winds lead to increased downslope transport of water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other scalars under the canopy. Increasing summer vapor pressure deficit in the Pacific Northwest will enhance both processes: vertical moisture transport by mountain breezes when subcanopy inversions are weak and downslope water vapor transport when subcanopy inversions are strong. These mountain breeze dynamics have implications for climate refugia in forested mountains, forest plantations, and other forested regions with a similar canopy structure and regional atmospheric forcings.

Finding Bit-Based Division Property for Ciphers with Complex Linear Layers

description: The bit-based division property (BDP) is the most effective technique for finding integral characteristics of symmetric ciphers. Recently, automatic search tools have become one of the most popular approaches to evaluating the security of designs against many attacks. Constraint-aided automatic tools for the BDP have been applied to many ciphers with simple linear layers like bit-permutation. Constructing models of complex linear layers accurately and efficiently remains hard. A straightforward method proposed by Sun et al. (called the S method), decomposes a complex linear layer into basic operations like COPY and XOR, then models them one by one. However, this method can easily insert invalid division trails into the solution pool, which results in a quicker loss of the balanced property than the cipher itself would. In order to solve this problem, Zhang and Rijmen propose the ZR method to link every valid trail with an invertible sub-matrix of the matrix corresponding to the linear layer, and then generate linear inequalities to represent all the invertible sub-matrices. Unfortunately, the ZR method is only applicable to invertible binary matrices (defined in Definition 3). To avoid generating a huge number of inequalities for all the sub-matrices, we build a new model that only includes that the sub-matrix corresponding to a valid trail should be invertible. The computing scale of our model can be tackled by most of SMT/SAT solvers, which makes our method practical. For applications, we improve the previous BDP for LED and MISTY1. We also give the 7-round BDP results for Camellia with FL/FL−1, which is the longest to date. Furthermore, we remove the restriction of the ZR method that the matrix has to be invertible, which provides more choices for future designs. Thanks to this, we also reproduce 5-round key-dependent integral distinguishers proposed at Crypto 2016 which cannot be obtained by either the S or ZR methods.

description: Mountain ranges have important influences on the structure and composition of the convective boundary layer (CBL) and free troposphere (FT). Evolution of the summer CBL, measured over the European Alps using airborne lidar, was clearly observed to attain a near‐uniform height up to 4.2 km asl by early afternoon. A climatology of in‐situ high‐alpine aerosol measurements suggests that such substantial growth, corresponding to ∼ 0.3 of the mid‐latitude tropopause height, often occurs during summer months. Subsequent nocturnal collapse of the CBL was estimated to result in the venting of ∼ 0.8 ± 0.3 (SO44) Gg day−1 into a FT residual layer, leeward of the Alps.

description: Amidst growing concerns (at least some of which seem justified) among the Canadian public about whether their health care system will be there for them if/when they need it, the Government of Alberta has again fanned into flame the smouldering issue of the role of the private sector in Canada’s health care system. Premier Klein’s proposal, declared on November 17, 1999, to introduce legislation allowing private, for-profit facilities to offer over-night care, has raised the spectre of a parallel private hospital system potentially undermining Medicare. The provincial government argues, to the contrary, that private facilities will be under contract to the Regional Health Authorities and will be reimbursed for all insured services through the public Medicare program. They will add much-needed capacity to provide additional insured services for Albertans. Where is the threat in that? After all, physician services have long been provided by private practitioners and funded through public Medicare. Yet if the proposal is as straightforward as the premier suggests, why has it aroused such controversy? Who, after all, is against strengthening the capacity of Medicare to provide necessary services? On the other hand this initiative is not wholly new. Twice in the last four years the premier has brought forward proposals to extend the scope of private delivery, and has withdrawn them in the face of intense opposition and controversy. Why is this objective so important to the Premier? There would seem to be more at stake here than meets the eye – and there is. On closer examination, the apparently innocuous extension of the role of private facilities comes with dubious benefits, but considerable risks to the integrity of the public system. We describe these risks in some detail.

description: This paper explores the competing issues of coverage efficiency and power
available in wireless sensor networks. Specifically, a shortest distance routing protocol
is implemented, and total network system lifetimes are determined using a variety of
small percentages of the available system nodes. Using a network simulator developed
in Java, wireless sensor nodes are simulated, and power consumption algorithms are
included in each node that take into consideration all aspects of power consumption in
the operation of the node. Simulating different coverage schemes on the same network
system, same initial power sources, and routing protocol, an increase of overall system
lifetime of 900% is demonstrated, but also that the network lifetime increase does not
increase linearly as the percentage of nodes used in the system is decreased.
Wireless sensors, and the arrangement of these small, electronic devices into
radio networks, have introduced the capability of remotely monitoring a physical
environment for a wide variety of parameters. In effect, there is additionally the ability to
interface the physical world, monitoring whatever parameter is of interest, with the
internet.

description: The rapid evolution of the logistics industry necessitates a contemporary approach to training logistics professionals in universities. Over time, the university-enterprise cooperation training model has undergone refinements, revealing its considerable potential and addressing gaps in traditional teaching methods. This paper explores the pivotal role of the university-enterprise cooperation training model in enhancing logistics education within higher education institutions.

The study examines the significance and functions of this collaborative approach in shaping logistics programs at universities.

description: This full report presents a classification of mid-seral black spruce ecosystems in the Boreal White and Black Spruce (BWBS) and Sub-boreal Spruce (SBS) zones of British Columbia. The classification is based on a total of 122 plots sampled during the summers of 1997 and 1998. We used multivariate and tabular methods to synthesize and classify ecosystems according to the Braun-Blanquet approach and the methods of biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification. The black spruce ecosystems were classified into 8 vegetation units (associations or subassociations) and the same number of site associations. We describe vegetation and environmental features of these vegetation and site units. Vegetation and environmental tables for individual plots are given in Appendices. In addition, we also present the relationships between site index of black spruce and direct and indirect measures of site quality.

description: Visualization of the statistical hypothesis test between two groups of categorical or numerical data. Statistical consulting requires often both a quick first visualization and a reproducible statistical analysis of the presented raw data. The package visStatistics with its core function visstat() fulfils this need. Based on a decision tree it picks the statistical hypothesis test with the highest statistical power between the dependent variable (response) varsample and the independent variable (feature) varfactor. The corresponding test statistics including eventual post-hoc-analysis are returned and a graph showing key statistics of the underlying test is generated. This fully automated workflow is especially suited for browser based interfaces to server-based deployments of R and has been successfully implemented to analyse medical raw data in an unbiased fashion.

description: Clustering can be considered the most important unsupervised learning
technique. Clustering is “the process of organizing objects into groups whose members
are similar in some way”. It is used for simplification, pattern detection and data concept
construction. As clustering is prime component for many scientific and engineering
applications using Data mining, This paper focus on optimizing performance of
clustering using parallelization. Many Clustering algorithms give best performance on
small dataset. But when large dataset will apply then performance will main issue so that
will optimize using GPU. Because GPU giving much Higher Performance.
parallelization of clustering will be implemented on GPU based various programming
modal like CUDA, Open MP, and Open Acc. Comparison of result will be used to suggest
best platform for clustering

description: The problem of frustration among adolescents in relation to parental attitude is
of utmost importance. The present research was an attempt to assess the frustration
among adolescents in relation to parental attitude. It was conjecture that frustration in
adolescents is positively correlated with parental attitude towards them. The sample of
the study comprised of 200 students of both the sexes in Tenth grade. It was randomly
taken from government and private schools of Udhampur district of J&K state of 15 - 17
years. Two way ANOVA was employed to assess the correlation between frustration, sex
and parental attitude. From analysis and interpretation of data it was found that
frustration among adolescents is significantly correlated with parental attitude.

description: This full report presents the first approximation of vegetation classification of trembling aspen ecosystems in interior British Columbia. The classification is based on a total of 186 plots sampled during the summers of 1995, 1997 and 1998. We used multivariate and tabular methods to synthesize and classify ecosystems according to the Braun-Blanquet approach and the methods of biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification. The aspen ecosystems were classified into 15 basic vegetation units (associations or subassociations) that were grouped into four alliances. Communities of the Populus tremuloides – Mertensia paniculata, and Populus tremuloides – Elymus innovatus alliances were aligned with the boreal Picea glauca & mariana order and were distributed predominantly in the Boreal White and Black Spruce zone; communities of the Populus tremuloides – Thalictrum occidentale alliance were also aligned with the same order, but were distributed predominantly in the Sub-Boreal Spruce zone; communities of the Populus tremuloides – Symphoricarpos albus alliance were aligned with the wetter cool temperate Tsuga heterophylla order and the drier cool temperate Pseudotsuga menziesii order and were distributed in the Sub-boreal Spruce, Interior Western Hemlock, Montane Spruce, and Interior Douglas-fir zones. We describe the vegatation and environmental features of these units and present vegetation and environmental tables for individual plots and units.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.
