title: A Risk-Based Safety Approach to Scoping Security Tests for Cyber Incident Response and Recovery

description: Following the advent of Industry 4.0, there have been significant benefits to industrial process optimisation through increased interconnectivity and the integration of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT). However, this has also led to an increased attack surface for cyber threat actors to target. A growing number of cyber attacks on industrial environments, including Critical National Infrastructure, has, subsequently, been observed. In response, government and standardisation organisations alike have invested considerable resources in improving the cyber security of these environments. This includes response and recovery, often used as a last line of defence against cyber attacks. However, due to the unique design philosophies of Industrial Control Systems (ICS), several challenges exist for effectively securing these systems against digital threats. Through an analysis of standards and guidelines, used for assessing and improving cyber incident response and recovery capabilities, and stakeholder engagement on the implementation of these in practice, this thesis first identifies the challenges that exist when it comes to preparing for cyber incidents targeting ICS/OT environments. In particular, risk management, which involves identifying, evaluating, and prioritising risks and finding solutions to minimise, monitor, and control these, was found to be essential for improving preparation for cyber incidents. Assurance techniques are used as part of risk management to generate evidence for making claims of assurances about security. Alongside this, adversary-centric security tests such as penetration tests are used to evaluate and improve cyber resilience and incident response capabilities by emulating the actions of malicious actors. However, despite the benefits that these provide, they are currently not implemented to their full potential due to the safety and operational risks that exist in ICS/OT environments. This thesis contributes to academic and industry knowledge by proposing a framework that incorporates methods for identifying and quantifying the safety and operational risks of conducting adversary-centric security tests within ICS/OT environments. In understanding the risks, these engagements can be scoped using precise constraints so as to maximise the depth of testing while minimising risk to safety and the operational process. The framework is then evaluated through a qualitative study involving industry experts, confirming the framework's validity for implementation in practice.

description: Four sesquiterpenoids A-D (1–4) were isolated from the ethanol extracts of the leaves and stems from Schisandra chinensis. Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated by a combination of NMR, MS and ECD. Compounds 1–4 (10 μM) exhibited moderate hepatoprotective activities against APAP-induced LO2 cell damage with increasing cell viability by 18%, 17%, 16%, and 19% compared to the model group (bicyclol, 26%) at 10 μM, respectively. All the compounds displayed no cytotoxic activity against five human cell lines, which also suggested the safety of leaves and stems of S. chinensis as an edible vegetable in a degree.

description: We consider the metastable dynamics of a flattened dipolar condensate. We develop an analytic model that quantifies the energy barrier to the system undergoing local collapse to form a density spike. We also develop a stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii equation (SGPE) theory for a flatted dipolar condensate, which we use to perform finite temperature simulations verifying the local collapse scenario. We predict that local collapses play a significant role in the regime where rotons are predicted to exist, and will be an important consideration for experiments looking to detect these excitations.

description: The method of moments is developed and employed to analyze the equilibrium correlation functions of the magnetization of ferromagnetic nanoparticles in the case of inertial magnetization dynamics. The method is based on the Taylor series expansion of the correlation functions and the estimation of the expansion coefficients. This method significantly reduces the complexity of analysis of equilibrium correlation functions. Analytical expressions are derived for the first three coefficients for the longitudinal and transverse correlation functions for the uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy of ferromagnetic nanoparticles with a longitudinal magnetic field. The limiting cases of very strong and negligibly weak external longitudinal fields are considered. The Gordon sum rule for inertial magnetization dynamics is discussed. In addition, we show that finite analytic series can be used as a simple and satisfactory approximation for the numerical calculation of correlation functions at short times.

description: Two undescribed (1–2) and five known cyclic diarylheptanoids (3–7) were isolated from the false heartwood of white birch (Betula pubescens Ehrh.). All structures were elucidated through extensive 1D and 2D NMR experiments and HR-ESI-MS data, along with comparison of their spectroscopic data with those reported in the literature. The two new cyclic diarylheptanoids are betuladiol (1) and betulondiol (2). Extracts from false heartwood were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Cutibacterium acnes together with their antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Candida glabrata.

description: We describe the emergence and interactions of breather modes and resonant wave modes within a two-dimensional ring-like oscillator chain in a microcanonical situation. Our analytical results identify different dynamical regimes characterized by the potential dominance of either type of mode. The chain is initially placed in a meta-stable state which it can leave by passing over the brim of the applied Mexican-hat-like potential. We elucidate the influence of the different wave modes on the mean-first passage time. A central finding is that also in this complex potential landscape a fast noise-free escape scenario solely relying on nonlinear cooperative effects is accomplishable even in a low energy setting.

description: We consider the jellium model of $N$ particles on a line confined in an external harmonic potential and with a pairwise one-dimensional Coulomb repulsion of strength $α> 0$. Using a Coulomb gas method, we study the statistics of $s = (1/N) \sum_{i=1}^N f(x_i)$ where $f(x)$, in principle, is an arbitrary smooth function. While the mean of $s$ is easy to compute, the variance is nontrivial due to the long-range Coulomb interactions. In this paper we demonstrate that the fluctuations around this mean are Gaussian with a variance ${\rm Var}(s) \approx b/N^3$ for large $N$. We provide an exact compact formula for the constant $b = 1/(4α) \int_{-2 α}^{2α} [f'(x)]^2\, dx$. In addition, we also calculate the full large deviation function characterising the tails of the full distribution ${\cal P}(s,N)$ for several different examples of $f(x)$. Our analytical predictions are confirmed by numerical simulations.

description: Following the lead of Stanley and Gessel, we consider a morphism which associates to an acyclic directed graph (or a poset) a quasi-symmetric function. The latter is naturally defined as multivariate generating series of non-decreasing functions on the graph. We describe the kernel of this morphism, using a simple combinatorial operation that we call cyclic inclusion-exclusion. Our result also holds for the natural noncommutative analog and for the commutative and noncommutative restrictions to bipartite graphs. An application to the theory of Kerov character polynomials is given.

Non canonical polarizations of Gravitational Waves

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We hereby propose an alternative and additional angle on the nature of gravitational waves (GWs), postulating the theoretical and experimental possibility that GWs carry a deformation of the time component of spacetime, other than the spatial one. By explicitly working outside of the transverse-traceless gauge, we propose how events with welldefined time duration, when hit by a GW, would consequently be expected to show a difference in their characteristic time, as measured from the rest frame of an outside observer,whose clock is to remain unaffected by the GW. This constitutes a theoretically viable way in the sense of detecting the passing of the wave itself and may prove relevant as a standalone method for GWs detection other than laser interferometers, or as well be implemented as a complementary but independent system of signal triggering, improving the statistical significance of existing methods. A simple but physically realistic scenario in which the appropriate conditions for the generation and detection of GWs with time dilation are met is presented, along with the conceptual design of an experimental detector.

description: Withania somnifera, Angelica sinensis, Glycyrrhiza glabra, and Simmondsia chinensis were acquired from the Egyptian market, profiled for their chemical constituents, screened for the in-vitro MAO-B inhibitory activity and evaluated for the total phenolic content. Thirty compounds were characterized in the selected herbs using HPLC-MS/MS. In-vitro MAO-B inhibitory activity and total phenolic content of the acquired herbs were compared with those of a prepared herbal formula consisting of a mixture of equal amounts of the four mentioned herbs. The most potent MAO-B inhibitory activity was exerted by the methanol extract of the prepared formula (IC50 of 712.19 ± 13.90 ng/mL) compared to selegiline (IC50 of 581.69 ± 11.35 ng/mL). The highest value of the total phenolic content was shown by Angelica sinensis methanolic extract (76.15 ± 0.1 mg/g) followed by Glycyrrhiza glabra methanolic extract (65.74 ± 0.1 mg/g), then the mixture’s methanolic extract of the four herbs (37.04 ± 0.1 mg/g).

description: The high brightness, broad spectral coverage and pulsed characteristics of infrared synchrotron radiation enable time-resolved spectroscopy under throughput-limited optical systems, as can occur with the high-field magnet cryostat systems used to study electron dynamics and cyclotron resonance by far-infrared techniques. A natural extension for magnetospectroscopy is to sense circular dichroism, i.e. the difference in a material's optical response for left and right circularly polarized light. A key component for spectroscopic circular dichroism is an achromatic 1/4 wave retarder functioning over the spectral range of interest. We report here the development of an in-line retarder using total internal reflection in high-resistivity silicon. We demonstrate its performance by distinguishing electronic excitations of different handednesses for GaAs in a magnetic field. This 1/4 wave retarder is expected to be useful for far-infrared spectroscopy of circular dichroism in many materials.

description: The antinociceptive activity of the ethanolic extract of Trixis angustifolia DC. (EETx) was investigated using the acetic acid-induced writhing and the hot-plate tests in mice. In the acetic acid-induced writhing test, mice treated with EETx (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg, p.o.) exhibited reduced writhing (38%, 67%, and 74%, respectively). In the hot-plate test, the three doses administrated increased the nociceptive response time. The phytochemical analysis of EETx led to the isolation of three known compounds, hygric acid (1), 5,6-Dihydroxy-7,8,4'-trimethoxyflavone (2) and xanthomicrol (3). Compound 1 was identified for the first time in this species. These results demonstrate that T. angustifolia has potential central and peripheral antinociceptive effects and support the ethnomedicinal use of this plant.

description: Embedding theories became important approaches used for accurate calculations of both molecules and solids. In these theories, a small chosen subset of orbitals is treated with an accurate method, called an impurity solver, capable of describing higher correlation effects. Ideally, such a chosen fragment should contain multiple orbitals responsible for the chemical and physical behavior of the compound. Handing a large number of chosen orbitals presents a very significant challenge for the current generation of solvers used in the physics and chemistry community. Here, we develop a Green's function coupled cluster singles doubles and triples (GFCCSDT) solver that can be used for a quantitative description in both molecules and solids. This solver allows us to treat orbital spaces that are inaccessible to other accurate solvers. At the same time, GFCCSDT maintains high accuracy of the resulting self-energy. Moreover, in conjunction with the GFCCSD solver, it allows us to test the systematic convergence of computational studies. Developing the CC family of solvers paves the road to fully systematic Green's function embedding calculations in solids. In this paper, we focus on the investigation of GFCCSDT self-energies for a strongly correlated problem of SrMnO$_3$ solid. Subsequently, we apply this solver to solid MnO showing that an approximate variant of GFCCSDT is capable of yielding a high accuracy orbital resolved spectral function.

description: Bioactivity-steered chromatographic purification of the solvent extract of marine sponge Hyrtios erectus (Thorectidae) led to the isolation of three undescribed cyanthiwigin-type diterpenoids, erectcyanthins A-C. Erectcyanthin B exhibited comparable attenuation activity against 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (IC50 0.07 mM) with that displayed by anti-dyslipidemic agent atorvastatin (IC50 0.08 mM). Comparatively greater antioxidant properties of erectcyanthin B (IC50 ∼ 0.4 mM) than that displayed by erectcyanthin A (IC50 ∼ 0.5 mM), erectcyanthin C and the standard α-tocopherol (IC50 1.5–1.7 mM) against oxidants also corroborated its promising bioactivity. Erectcyanthin B exhibited considerably greater anti-inflammatory activities (IC50 0.88–1.09 mM) than other erectcyanthin analogues in the series. The potential anti-dyslipidemic activity of erectcyanthins was linearly correlated with electronic parameter (topological polar surface area ∼ 74.6) along with balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic properties (logarithmic octanol-water partition coefficient 1.76). This study recognized the anti-dyslipidemic property of erectcyanthin B as a promising pharmaceutical lead.
Beyond $χ^2$ Difference: Learning Optimal Metric for Boundary Detection

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: This letter focuses on solving the challenging problem of detecting natural image boundaries. A boundary usually refers to the border between two regions with different semantic meanings. Therefore, a measurement of dissimilarity between image regions plays a pivotal role in boundary detection of natural images. To improve the performance of boundary detection, a Learning-based Boundary Metric (LBM) is proposed to replace $χ^2$ difference adopted by the classical algorithm mPb. Compared with $χ^2$ difference, LBM is composed of a single layer neural network and an RBF kernel, and is fine-tuned by supervised learning rather than human-crafted. It is more effective in describing the dissimilarity between natural image regions while tolerating large variance of image data. After substituting $χ^2$ difference with LBM, the F-measure metric of mPb on the BSDS500 benchmark is increased from 0.69 to 0.71. Moreover, when image features are computed on a single scale, the proposed LBM algorithm still achieves competitive results compared with \emph{mPb}, which makes use of multi-scale image features.

Thin coatings of biomaterials for hard tissue applications

description: 2016 - 2017
description: The goal of the present study is the production of new-generation coatings suitable for hard tissue implants, intended to decrease the healing time, limit infections and rejections and improve patients' life quality. Materials designed for implant coatings are mainly bioactive ceramics. Belonging to this class of biomaterials, hydroxyapatite (HAp), bioglass (BG) and glass-ceramic (BGC) are indicated for application in hard tissue replacement and regeneration. However the use of each one has strengths and weaknesses; therefore the attention has been focused on their peculiarity in the coating of metallic materials, suitable for hard tissue replacement. In particular, in order to overcome their drawback and enhance their strengths, possible solutions, like the adding of helpful component in the basic material or the choice of composites, have been investigated. The main technique used for the coatings production has been the Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). Furthermore the Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD) has been performed to produce composite biopolymer/bioceramic coatings, which cannot be accomplished by the conventional PLD. Hydroxyapatite has been deposited with IONPs (iron oxide nanoparticles). The IONPs have been previously obtained by the means of a really "green" technique, the PLAL (pulsed laser ablation in liquid). The obtaining of HAp/IONPs films has demonstrated how PLD is a successful deposition technique for the production of magnetic composite coatings. BG_Cu films have been also successfully deposited trough PLD and their bioactivity has been demonstrated by the hydroxyapatite growth on their surface during the soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF). The use of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) has allowed the coating of SS substrate with polymer/bioglass composite films. Also in this case a Cu-doped bioaglass has been used together with a protein-based polymer, zein, and the films bioactivity has been proved. RKKP (glass-ceramic) pulsed laser deposited has been proved functional coatings for celldelivery implantation and for the reduction of the corrosion of biodegradable implant. Although glass-ceramics show superior mechanical properties than bioglasses, they are still not enough for load-bearing application. Therefore, RKKP&C60 has been used as target for the deposition of composite films with improved hardness. Finally, RKKP has been modified by the adding of another component, manganese, useful for the bone regeneration, and its biocompatibility has been proved. [edited by Author]

description: We studied the phase transitions and magnetic properties of the Ising model on a square lattice by the replica Monte Carlo method and by the method of transfer-matrix, the maximum eigenvalue of which was found by Lanczos method. The competing exchange interactions between nearest neighbors $J_{1}$, second $J_{2}$, third neighbors $J_{3}$ and an external magnetic field were taken into account. We found the frustration points and expressions for the frustration fields, at crossing of which cardinal changes of magnetic structures (translational invariance changes discontinuously) take place. A comparative analysis with 1D Ising model was performed and it was shown that the behavior of magnetic properties of the 1D model and the 2D model with $J_{1}$ and $J_{3}$ interactions reveals detailed similarity only distinguishing in scales of magnetic field and temperature.

description: Using the linear response formalism for the spin-orbit torque (SOT) we compute from first principles the SOT in a system of two layers of L1$_0$-FePt(001) deposited on an fcc Pt(001) substrate of varying thickness. We find that at room temperature the values of the SOTs that are even and odd with respect to magnetization generally lie in the range of values measured and computed for Co/Pt bilayers. We also observe that the even SOT is much more robust with respect to changing the number of layers in the substrate, and as a function of energy it follows the general trend of the even SOT exerted by the spin Hall current in fcc Pt. The odd torque, on the other hand, is strongly affected by modification of the electronic structure for a specific energy window in the limit of very thin films. Moreover, taking the system at hand as an example, we compute the values of the thermal spin-orbit torque (T-SOT). We predict that the gradients of temperature which can be experimentally created in this type of systems will cause a detectable torque on the magnetization. We also underline the correlation between the even T-SOT and the spin Nernst effect, thus motivating a more intensive experimental effort aimed at observation of both phenomena.

description: The first-order correction to the one-form sector of equations of the $3d$ higher-spin theory is derived from the generating nonlinear HS system by virtue of the shifted homotopy approach. The family of solutions to the generating system that disentangles equations for dynamical and topological fields in the first order of perturbation theory is found. This family is shown to belong to the different cohomology class compared to the solution found earlier by the direct methods. The related cohomology is shown to be the same as that underlying the mass deformation in the matter sector of $3d$ higher-spin equations.

description: Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) combines inelastic light scattering well below the diffraction limit down to the nanometer range and scanning probe microscopy and, possibly, spectroscopy. In this way, topographic and spectroscopic as well as single- and two-particle information may simultaneously be collected. While single molecules can now be studied successfully, bulk solids are still not meaningfully accessible. It is the purpose of the work presented here to outline approaches toward this objective. We describe a home-built, liquid helium cooled, ultrahigh vacuum tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy system (LHe-UHV-TERS). The setup is based on a scanning tunneling microscope and, as an innovation, an off-axis parabolic mirror having a high numerical aperture of approximately $0.85$ and a large working distance. The system is equipped with a fast load-lock chamber, a chamber for the \textit{in situ} preparation of tips, substrates, and samples, and a TERS chamber. Base pressure and temperature in the TERS chamber were approximately $3\times 10^{-11}$~mbar and 15~K, respectively. Polarization dependent tip-enhanced Raman spectra of the vibration modes of carbon nanotubes were successfully acquired at cryogenic temperature. Enhancement factors in the range of $10^7$ were observed. The new features described here including very low pressure and temperature and the external access to the light polarizations, thus the selection rules, may pave the way towards the investigation of bulk and surface materials.

Pure Gravity Mediation and Chaotic Inflation in Supergravity

description: We investigate compatibility of the pure gravity mediation (or the minimal split supersymmetry) with chaotic inflation models in supergravity. We find that an approximate Z2 parity of the inflaton is useful to suppress gravitino production from thermal bath and to obtain consistent inflation dynamics. We discuss production of the lightest supersymmetric particle through the decay of the inflaton with the approximate Z2 symmetry and find that a large gravitino mass is favored to avoid the overproduction of the lightest supersymmetric particle, while a lower gravitino mass requires tuning of parameters. This may explain why the nature has chosen the gravitino mass of O(100) TeV rather than O(100) GeV.

description: Bioactivity-steered chromatographic purification of the solvent extract of marine sponge Hyrtios erectus (Thorectidae) led to the isolation of three undescribed cyanthiwigin-type diterpenoids, erectcyanthins A-C. Erectcyanthin B exhibited comparable attenuation activity against 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (IC50 0.07 mM) with that displayed by anti-dyslipidemic agent atorvastatin (IC50 0.08 mM). Comparatively greater antioxidant properties of erectcyanthin B (IC50 ∼ 0.4 mM) than that displayed by erectcyanthin A (IC50 ∼ 0.5 mM), erectcyanthin C and the standard α-tocopherol (IC50 1.5–1.7 mM) against oxidants also corroborated its promising bioactivity. Erectcyanthin B exhibited considerably greater anti-inflammatory activities (IC50 0.88–1.09 mM) than other erectcyanthin analogues in the series. The potential anti-dyslipidemic activity of erectcyanthins was linearly correlated with electronic parameter (topological polar surface area ∼ 74.6) along with balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic properties (logarithmic octanol-water partition coefficient 1.76). This study recognized the anti-dyslipidemic property of erectcyanthin B as a promising pharmaceutical lead.
La valutazione di incidenza ambientale

description: Il presente lavoro si concentra sull’analisi della c.d. valutazione di incidenza (VINCA), ossia lo specifico procedimento ambientale che permette di verificare la sussistenza e la significatività di incidenze negative di piani, progetti o programmi a carico di habitat o specie di interesse comunitario. Lo strumento permette di ottenere la valutazione positiva di un piano o di un progetto solo qualora vi sia la certezza dell’assenza di incidenze negative su un sito protetto, nel rispetto del principio di precauzione e tenendo in considerazione gli obiettivi di conservazione degli habitat, i quali costituiscono la finalità prioritaria della direttiva Habitat 92/43/CEE. Tale direttiva ha istituito la “Rete Natura 2000” composta dai c.d. Siti di Importanza Comunitaria, dalle Zone Speciali di Conservazione e dalle Zone di Protezione Speciale (queste ultime previste dalla direttiva Uccelli), definendo il perimetro territoriale di una serie di aree contenenti determinati habitat da conservare, ritenuti fondamentali per la tutela delle specie animali e vegetali in un’ottica di salvaguardia delle popolazioni esistenti e delle generazioni future (rectius, di sviluppo sostenibile). La finalità di “Rete Natura 2000” è dunque quella di creare un sistema comunitario di conservazione - a lungo termine - degli habitat naturali e delle specie di flora e fauna minacciate dalle attività umane, che sia in grado di bilanciare due contrapposti interessi: il mantenimento di determinati habitat e delle relative specie ritenuti indispensabili per l’equilibrio biologico dell’ambiente e le necessarie esigenze di sviluppo economico e sociale dei cittadini.
