description: The ubiquity and versatility of the Internet of Things (IoT) have elevated its significance as a major concern in the cybersecurity domain. The number of IoT devices and the volume of data generated by these devices are steadily increasing globally. Consequently, IoT devices have become avenues for attackers to exploit various systems and network infrastructures, as attackers perceive them as low-hanging fruit to leverage for illegal activities. These devices connect and communicate within the IoT ecosystem via various technologies, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB, and the cloud. IoT technology has various applications, with SCADA, ICS, and Industrial IoT (IIoT) being among the most critical areas. Thus, this study aims to perform a comprehensive security assessment of the implementation of IoT Technology in Windows-supported environments, with a focus on exploiting the Windows OS through the IoT attack vector, leveraging the USB Protocol. Given that the Windows OS is the predominant operating system utilized in 90% of desktops, laptops, or workstations, and in 33% of servers globally, it is susceptible to this type of threat. This security assessment adopts the MITRE ATT&CK matrices and the STRIDE frameworks to provide a comprehensive approach and analysis. The results of this security assessment achieve the execution of privileged commands on the victim device, resulting in a successful compromise. The implementation of IoT technology poses significant security risks, potentially causing severe damage to consumer, commercial, and industrial infrastructure, making it crucial to be aware of these risks.

description: The objective of this study was to determine the occurrence, origin, and risk of Cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) in soil profiles from petroleum tank-farms in Western Delta, Nigeria. The soil samples were digested with aqua-regia, and the concentrations of the metals were determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The mean concentrations of metals varied for all sites and depths and ranged from 1.86 ± 1.73 mg kg−1 (Cd) to 3535 ± 1802 mg kg−1 (Fe). The mean concentrations of Cd, Pb, and Cu exceeded the Dutch and DPR-EGASPIN target limits in 80%, 5%, and 45% of the samples, respectively. Concerning soil depths, the metals showed irregular occurrence and exhibited concentration load in the order of subsoil > bottom soil > topsoil. The results also showed that the metals had the highest concentrations at site SS1, SS2, SS4, SS6, SS8, SS9, SS10, and SS11. The linear regression between TOC and metals indicates a weak correlation. The ANOVA shows that there is a significant variation for the total concentrations of the metals concerning soil depths. The PCA, enrichment factors and the geo-accumulation index suggest that the trace metals originated from the anthropogenic and geologic means. The average contamination factor and the ecological risk factor followed the order: Cd > Pb > Cu > Zn > Mn > Cr > Ni, and Cd > Pb > Cu > Ni > Zn > Cr > Mn, respectively. The non-carcinogenic risk shows no adverse non-carcinogenic health effects for human exposure to metals. The total cancer risk values are within acceptable safety limits. The results of the heavy metals from this study suggest that soils from the petroleum tank farms require sustainable remediation measures.

description: Relativistic magnetohydrodynamics can be reformulated in terms of magnetic flux tubes which turn out to obey equations of non-linear strings. The string approach is applied to study how a test flux tube falls into a Kerr black hole. Analytical treatment and numerical simulations show that the leading portion of the falling tube loses angular momentum and energy as the string breaks, and to compensate for this loss, momentum and energy has to be generated to conserve energy and momentum for the tube. Inside the ergosphere the energy of the leading part can be negative, and the rest of the tube then extracts energy from the hole. Increasing centrifugal forces eject the part of the tube with extra positive energy from the ergosphere after a time producing a relativistic jet.

description: Quantum dots based on the graphene stripes show unconventional optical properties in the THz frequency range. The graphene quantum dot (GQD) is made of electrically gated stripe with zigzag edges. Inside the active region (AR), which is enclosed between the source and drain electrodes, there are two sharp energy ($\pm $)-levels, whose separation $2Δ$ is controlled with Stark effect by applying the lateral dc electric field. Such the edge states determine the unique nature of elementary excitations, chiral fermions, that are responsible for the non-linear optical responce revealing a potential for many applications. They are, e.g., the frequency multiplication and self-focusing of two dimensional solitons. Furthemore, when injection of the non-equilibrium electrons causes an inverse population of the levels localized in AR, the subsequent recombination of electrons and holes leads to a coherent emission of the THz waves.

description: We consider the procedure of isochrone fitting and its application to the study of red giant branch (RGB) photometry in old stellar populations. This is extended to consider the problems introduced by the inclusion of lower-magnitude regions of the Colour Magnitude Diagram (CMD). We refer especially to our previous paper Frayn & Gilmore (2002), where the details of our isochrone interpolation and fitting code are explained. We address the systematic errors inherent in the process of isochrone fitting, and investigate the extent to which simple stellar populations can be recovered from noisy photometric data. We investigate the effects caused by inaccurate distance estimates, isochrone model variation and photometric errors. We present results from two studies of approximately coeval stellar populations, those of the Milky Way Globular Cluster System (MWGCS), and the Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidal galaxy. In addition, we introduce a new method for estimating distances using photometry of the tip of the RGB which is significantly more robust than the standard edge-detection filter.

 Materiale tipico: Holotype ♂, Guyane Fr., Coralie, 16.XI.2011, leg. T. Struyve (SDEI).
 Paratypes: 2 ♂♂ e 2 ♀♀, stessa provenienza (IRSNB, SDEI).
 Descrizione: Lunghezza 1,9 mm. Corpo lucido e nero-bruno, pronoto e base delle elitre rossicci, base dell’addome e pigidio giallo-rossicci, antenne brune con i due antennomeri basali e l’undicesimo giallo-rossicci, zampe giallo-rossiccio. Occhi lunghi quanto la regione postoculare, in visione dorsale. Secondo antennomero lungo quanto il primo, terzo lungo quanto il secondo, quarto a decimo trasversi. Reticolazione di capo ed elitre evidente, quella del pronoto molto superficiale, quella dell’addome molto trasversa e molto evanescente. Punteggiatura del capo fitta, fine e superficiale. Granulosità di pronoto ed elitre fine e fitta, quella del quinto urotergo libero meno fitta di quella dei restanti uroterghi liberi. Edeago figg. 50-51, spermateca fig. 52, sesto urotergo libero del maschio fig. 53.
 Comparazioni: Per la forma della spermateca e il colore dell’undicesimo antennomero, la nuova specie è comparabile con A. conformis (ERICHSON, 1840) della Colombia, di cui ho esaminato la serie tipica (MNHUB). Tra i lobi del margine posteriore del sesto urotergo libero del maschio della nuova specie il bordo è seghettato, mentre in conformis non lo è. La base dell’addome della nuova specie è giallo-rossiccio, quello di conformis bruno. L’edeago della nuova specie è lungo 0,22 mm, quello di conformis 0,36 mm.
 Etimologia: La nuova specie prende nome di mimetica per la forma dell’edeago che sembra quello di Atheta conformis, perciò per la somiglianza edeagica è facilmente confondibile con conformis. Altri caratteri aiutano a distinguerla da essa. Prende nome anche dalla Guyana Francese.

description: Bioactive peptides have been extensively applied for developing health-promoting foods. To improve the value of Laminaria japonica proteins (LJPs), anti-hypertensive peptides were prepared by using controlled enzymatic hydrolysis along with response surface methodology to improve their yields. Eight anti-hypertensive peptides with tyrosine (Tyr) at the C-terminal were determined through an efficient RP-HPLC method and molecular docking was performed to reveal the underlying mechanisms behind their effectiveness of anti-hypertension. According to the results, the strongest activity of hydrolysates was achieved under enzyme ratio (papain: alcalase: trypsin) 1:2:1, pH 8.0, temperature 60°C, substrate concentration 1.7%, enzyme addition 4.4%, and hydrolysis time 5.1 h. Furthermore, molecular docking results displayed that anti-hypertensive peptides could bind with ACE active sites through forming a stable composite structure, thus causing a significant reduction to activities. These results demonstrated the potential applications of LJPs as a source of anti-hypertensive peptides and provided a reference for the industrialized anti-hypertensive productions.
Stable quark stars beyond neutran stars : can they account for the missing matter ?

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The structure of a spherically symmetric stable dark 'star' is discussed, at zero temperature, containing 1) a core of quarks in the deconfined phase and antileptons 2) a shell of hadrons in particular $n$, $p$, $Λ$ and $Σ^-$ and leptons or antileptons and 3) a shell of hydrogen in the superfluid phase. If the superfluid hydrogen phase goes over into the electromagnetic plasma phase at densities well below one atom / $(10 fm)^{3}$, as is usually assumed, the hydrogen shell is insignificant for the mass and the radius of the 'star'. These quantities are then determined approximatively : mass = 1.8 solar masses and radius = 9.2 km. On the contrary if densities of the order of one atom / $(10 fm)^{3}$ do form a stable hydrogen superfluid phase, we find a large range of possible masses from 1.8 to 375 solar masses. The radii vary accordingly from 9 to 1200 km.

description: The abelian Higgs model is the textbook example for the superconducting transition and the Anderson-Higgs mechanism, and has become pivotal in the description of deconfined quantum criticality. We study the abelian Higgs model with $n$ complex scalar fields at unprecedented four-loop order in the $4-ε$ expansion and find that the annihilation of the critical and bicritical points occurs at a critical number of $n_c \approx 182.95\left(1 - 1.752ε+ 0.798 ε^2 + 0.362ε^3\right) + \mathcal{O}\left(ε^4\right)\nonumber$. Consequently, below $n_c$, the transition turns from second to first order. Resummation of the series to extract the result in three-dimensions provides strong evidence for a critical $n_c(d=3)$ which is significantly below the leading-order value, but the estimates for $n_c$ are widely spread. Conjecturing the topology of the renormalization group flow between two and four dimensions, we obtain a smooth interpolation function for $n_c(d)$ and find $n_c(3)\approx 12.2\pm 3.9$ as our best estimate in three dimensions. Finally, we discuss Miransky scaling occurring below $n_c$ and comment on implications for weakly first-order behavior of deconfined quantum transitions. We predict an emergent hierarchy of length scales between deconfined quantum transitions corresponding to different $n$.

Machine Learning based Semantic Communication Systems for 6G Three-dimensional Communication Networks
Creators: name: Zheng, Guhan
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2024

description: The sixth generation (6G) wireless communication is anticipated as a
 threedimensional (3D) network with full support of aerial edge and space
 edge. Moreover, semantic communication (SemCom) based on machine learning
 (ML) is also considered a significant enabling technology for 6G systems.
 Nevertheless, integrating SemCom into future 3D networks introduces
 emerging semantic coder updating requirements and new functional
 challenges considering, e.g. latency, energy, and privacy. Motivated by
 the above observations, in this thesis, the challenges of SemCom in
 various 6G edge-enable network architectures are investigated.

 Firstly, a terrestrial vehicular SemCom system is investigated for vehicle
 task

 offloading in vehicular networks (VNs). A novel mobility-aware
 split-federated with transfer learning (MSFTL) framework for SemCom coder
 updating is then proposed. Moreover, to incorporate vehicle mobility and
 training delays I propose a highmobility training resource optimisation
 mechanism based on a Stackelberg game for MSFTL.

 Secondly, an air-terrestrial SemCom system is proposed for
 energy-efficient

 implementation of SemCom in aerial-aided edge networks (AENs). An
 energyefficient game theoretic incentive mechanism (EGTIM) is proposed for
 improving the energy efficiency of the AEN for SemCom. To update SemCom
 coders accurately and efficiently in AENs, I further present a game
 theoretic efficient distributed learning (GEDL) framework based on the
 renewed EGTIM.

 Finally, a space-air-terrestrial (SAT) SemCom system is proposed for the

 computation offloading of resource-limited users in SAT networks. An
 adaptive

 pruning-split federated learning (PSFed) method for updating the SemCom
 coder is then proposed. Furthermore, the users processing computational
 tasks strategy in presented systems is formulated as an incomplete
 information mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP). A new
 computational task processing scheduling (CTPS) mechanism is also proposed
 based on the Rubinstein bargaining game.

We present cross-sections for $t\bar t$ production followed by the subsequent decay of either the $t$ or $\overline{t}$ via the $R$-Parity violating interaction while the other undergoes the SM decay. We discuss kinematic cuts that allow the exotic SUSY decays to be detected over standard model backgrounds. Discovery limits for $R$-Parity violating couplings in the top sector are presented assuming an integrated luminosity of $100 fb^{-1}$.

description: This paper explores how orbits in a galactic potential can be impacted by large amplitude time-dependences of the form that one might associate with galaxy or halo formation or strong encounters between pairs of galaxies. A period of time-dependence with a strong, possibly damped, oscillatory component can give rise to large amounts of transient chaos, and it is argued that chaotic phase mixing associated with this transient chaos could play a major role in accounting for the speed and efficiency of violent relaxation. Analysis of simple toy models involving time-dependent perturbations of an integrable Plummer potential indicates that this chaos results from a broad, possibly generic, resonance between the frequencies of the orbits and harmonics thereof and the frequencies of the time-dependent perturbation. Numerical computations of orbits in potentials exhibiting damped oscillations suggest that, within a period of 10 dynamical times t_D or so, one could achieve simultaneously both `near-complete' chaotic phase mixing and a nearly time-independent, integrable end state.

Percolation theory is shown to explain both the Poole and Frenkel dependencies corresponding to the cases of respectively small and large samples compared to the correlation radii of their percolation clusters. The applied bias modifies a limited number of microscopic resistances forming the percolation pathways. That understanding opens a pathway to multi-valued non-volatile memory and related neural network applications.

description: On the basis of the decay couplings f_0 -> ππ, K\bar K, ηη, ηη', which had been found before, in the study of analytical (IJ^{PC}=00^{++})-amplitude in the mass range 450-1900 MeV, we analyse the quark-gluonium content of resonances f_0(980), f_0(1300), f_0(1500), f_0(1750) and the broad state f_0(1420 ^{+ 150}_{-70}). The K-matrix technique used in the analysis makes it possible to evaluate the quark-gluonium content both for the states with switched-off decay channels (bare states, f^{bare}_0) and the real resonances. We observe significant change of the quark-gluonium composition in the evolution from bare states to real resonances, that is due to the mixing of states in the transitions f_0(m_1)-> real mesons-> f_0(m_2) responsible for the decay processes as well. For the f_0(980), the analysis confirmed the dominance of q\bar q component thus proving the n\bar n/s\bar s composition found in the study of the radiative decays. For the mesons f_0(1300), f_0(1500) and f_0(1750), the hadronic decays do not allow one to determine uniquely the n\bar n, s\bar s and gluonium components providing relative pecentage only. The analysis shows that the broad state f_0(1420 ^{+ 150}_{-70}) can mix with the flavour singlet q\bar q component only, that is consistent with gluonium origin of the broad resonance.

description: After a short essay on the current state of particle physics, I review the antecedents of the modern picture of the weak and electromagnetic interactions and then undertake a brief survey of the $SU(2)_{L}\otimes U(1)_{Y}$ electroweak theory. I review the features of electroweak phenomenology at tree level and beyond, present an introduction to the Higgs boson and the 1-TeV scale, and examine arguments for enlarging the electroweak theory. I conclude with a brief look at low-scale gravity.

description: We discuss the status of thermal model descriptions of particle ratios in central nucleus-nucleus collisions at ultra-relativistic energy. An alternative to the ``Cleymans-Redlich'' interpretation of the freeze-out trajectory is given in terms of the total baryon density. Emphasis is placed on the relation between the chemical equilibration parameters and the QCD phase boundary. Furthermore, we trace the essential difference between thermal model analyses of data from collisions between elementary particles and from heavy ion collisions as due to a transition from local strangeness conservation to percolation of strangeness over large volumes, as occurs naturally in a deconfined medium. We also discuss predictions of the thermal model for composite particle production.

description: This paper initiates development of a set of stylized facts concerning the structure of public support for national agricultural research systems (NARS) within a neoclassical political economy framework. The aim is to place public funding of NARS in the broader context of the overall level of direct government assistance to agriculture. Using a newly constructed data set on NARS expenditures over the 1970-85 period, we observe a growing disparity in agricultural research intensity ratios, which measure the level of public support for NARS in relation to agricultural gross domestic product (AgGDP), between low and high income countries. This growing disparity appears to be driven by much larger increases in support for agricultural research by high income countries, coupled with a significantly slower growth in the size of their agricultural sector, despite the propensity of low and middle income countries to increase real support to agricultural research. As per capita incomes rise, the public agricultural expenditure ratio, which measures public expenditures on agriculture relative to the size of the agricultural sector (AgGDP), increases substantially. Public expenditures on agriculture were indexed on agricultural and non-agricultural populations to give a rough indication of the increasing incentives for rural 'distributional coalitions' to seek a redistribution of public expenditures in their favor. A relative research expenditure (RRE) ratio is developed, which measures the proportion of total public expenditure on agriculture spent on agricultural research. It provides an indication of the relative importance given to research on agriculture within the constraints imposed by overall public spending on agriculture. In contrast to the agricultural research intensity ratios, the RRE ratios suggest that agricultural research appears to command as large a share of the public purse devoted to agriculture in low and middle income countries as it does in high income countries. Expectations derived from the neoclassical political economy literature that research may have fared relatively better in high compared with low income countries were not supported by the data.

description: We briefly review the present status of Affleck-Dine baryo/leptogenesis scenarios in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) in the context of the gravity-mediated SUSY breaking, and show that there is a serious cosmological problem in the Affleck-Dine mechanism. That is, the late decay of the associated large Q-balls leads to the over production of the lightest supersymmetric particles. Then, we point out that the minimal extension of the MSSM by introducing a gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry naturally solves this problem. Here, the breaking scale of the $U(1)_{B-L}$ can be determined quite independently of the reheating temperature from the required baryon asymmetry. It is extremely interesting that the obtained scale of the $U(1)_{B-L}$ breaking is well consistent with the one suggested from the seesaw mechanism to explain the recent neutrino-oscillation experiments. We consider that the present scenario provides a new determination of the $U(1)_{B-L}$ breaking scale fully independent of the neutrino masses. We also comment on viability of the present scenario in anomaly-mediated SUSY breaking models.

description: The Petersen colouring conjecture states that every bridgeless cubic graph admits an edge-colouring with $5$ colours such that for every edge $e$, the set of colours assigned to the edges adjacent to $e$ has cardinality either $2$ or $4$, but not $3$. We prove that every bridgeless cubic graph $G$ admits an edge-colouring with $4$ colours such that at most $\frac45\cdot|V(G)|$ edges do not satisfy the above condition. This bound is tight and the Petersen graph is the only connected graph for which the bound cannot be decreased. We obtain such a $4$-edge-colouring by using a carefully chosen subset of edges of a perfect matching, and the analysis relies on a simple discharging procedure with essentially no reductions and very few rules.

description: Cette étude préliminaire, réalisée sous l’égide du Centre antidouleur de Clermont-Ferrand, se proposait d’évaluer les effets de la cure par carbothérapie de Royat, appliquée pendant 18 jours consécutifs chez des patients souffrant d’une fibromyalgie diagnostiquée et leur rémanence éventuelle à moyen terme. 69 patients fibromyalgiques ont ainsi été suivis au cours de la saison 2006. L'évaluation reposait sur trois échelles principales : Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) version française validée, échelle visuelle analogique de Huskinson (EVA) pour les symptômes douleur et fatigue et classification par score de la symptomatologie ; elle a été réalisée à trois reprises, semaine J-7-J-1, semaine J14-J20 et semaine J110-J117. L’amélioration ressentie sur le plan de la douleur est notable de 67.4 ± 15.6 mm à 56.1 ± 23.4 (p < 0.001) après l’application des soins et la rémanence des effets est maintenue à trois mois (p = 0.03). Les données analysées montrent que la carbothérapie pratiquée à Royat en complément du traitement médical apporte une amélioration des symptômes à court terme.
description: This preliminary study according the recommendations of the Centre against dolour of Clermont-Ferrand, France, determined the short-term clinical effects of Royat’s natural CO2 therapy in patients with fibromyalgia. The 69 recruits have had 18 consecutive days treatment. Assessment criteria were Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), visual analogical scale for the intensity of pain and fatigue, and a quality of life scale. The effectiveness of the treatment was based on the assessment criteria measured before treatment (D-7-D-1), at the end of treatment (D14-D20) and lasting improvement recorded three months later (D110-D117). Pain decreases significantly after treatment from 67.4 ± 15.6 mm to 56.1 ± 23.4 (p < 0.001) ; the benefit was maintained at three months (p = 0.03). The results show a short-term clinical benefit.

description: Monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are promising biomedical tools with applications to diagnosis and therapy, thanks to their biocompatibility and versatility. Here we show how the NP surface functionalization can drive the mechanism of interaction with lipid membranes. In particular, we show that the spontaneous protonation of anionic carboxylic groups on the NP surface can make the NP-membrane interaction faster and less disruptive.

description: We construct a relativistic and unitary approach to 'high' energy pion- and photon-nucleon reactions taking the $πN, πΔ$, $ρN$, $ωN$, $ηN, K Λ, K Σ$ final states into account. Our scheme dynamically generates the s- and d-wave nucleon resonances N(1535), N(1650) and N(1520) and isobar resonances $Δ(1620)$ and $Δ(1700)$ in terms of quasi-local interaction vertices. The description of photon-induced processes is based on a generalized vector-meson dominance assumption which directly relates the electromagnetic quasi-local 4-point interaction vertices to the corresponding vertices involving the $ρ$ and $ω$ fields. We obtain a satisfactory description of the elastic and inelastic pion- and photon-nucleon scattering data in the channels considered. The resulting s-wave $ρ$- and $ω$-nucleon scattering amplitudes are presented. Using these amplitudes we compute the leading density modification of the $ρ$ and $ω$ energy distributions in nuclear matter. We find a repulsive energy shift for the $ω$ meson at small nuclear density but predict considerable strength in resonance-hole like $ω$-meson modes. Compared to previous calculations our result for the $ρ$-meson spectral function shows a significantly smaller in-medium effect. This reflects a fairly small coupling strength of the N(1520) resonance to the $ρN$ channel.
