description: In situ airborne measurements from the Smoke, Clouds and Radiation-Brazil (SCAR-B) study show that during aging over 1–4 days the physical and optical properties of smoke particles are correlated. Consequently, if one optical or physical property of the smoke particles is determined, other properties can be derived. This methodology is validated using multiwavelength Ångstrom exponents determined from the ground-based Sun photometer measurements in SCAR-B. It is shown that the Ångstrom exponent determined from Sun photometers for the wavelength intervals 339–437 nm and 437–669 nm are well correlated with particle size, single-scattering albedo, and the backscatter ratio (r2>0.8). Therefore, when almucantar sky radiance data are not available and for remote sensing applications (such as MODIS), some of the uncertainties in the properties of smoke particles can be reduced by applying these relationships. Using this methodology, major oscillations were observed in smoke particle properties in Brazil on timescales of ?5–15 days, resulting in variations of the volume median diameter and single-scattering albedo of ±0.04 ?m and ±0.05, respectively. In comparison, the mean value of the dry smoke particle volume median diameter and single-scattering albedo over all of Brazil was 0.27 ?m and 0.86, respectively. A daily cycle in smoke particle properties was also observed. The weekly and seasonal variability in the single-scattering albedo is shown to have significant consequences for retrieving aerosol optical depths from satellite measurements.

description: Somewhere statistically binding (SSB) hashing allows us to sample a special hashing key such that the digest statistically binds the input at m secret locations. This hash function is said to be somewhere extractable (SE) if there is an additional trapdoor that allows the extraction of the input bits at the m locations from the digest.

Devadas, Goyal, Kalai, and Vaikuntanathan (FOCS 2022) introduced a variant of somewhere extractable hashing called rate-1 fully local SE hash functions. The rate-1 requirement states that the size of the digest is m+poly () (where is the security parameter). The fully local property requires that for any index i, there is a “very short” opening showing that i-th bit of the hashed input is equal to b for some b € {0,1}. The size of this opening is required to be independent of m and in particular, this means that its size is independent of the size of the digest. Devadas et al. gave such a construction from Learning with Errors (LWE).

In this work, we give a construction of a rate-1 fully local somewhere extractable hash function from Decisional Diffie-Hellman (DDH) and BARGs. Under the same assumptions, we give constructions of rate-1 BARG and RAM SNARG with partial input soundness whose proof sizes are only matched by prior constructions based on LWE.

description: Data from the Temperature Humidity Infrared Radiometer (THIR) and the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS), both aboard the Nimbus-7 satellite, are used to determine cloudiness parameters for the globe. The 11.5 ?m THIR radiances and the 0.36 ?m and 0.38 ?m TOMS reflectivities, along with concurrent surface temperature data from the Air Force 3-D nephanalysis, are the primary data sources. They are processed by an algorithm that determines total cloud amount, cloud amount in three altitude categories, cirrus cloud, deep convective cloud, warm cloud, and the radiance of radiation emitted by the clouds. and the underlying surface. The algorithm is of the bispectral threshold type, which yields two independent estimates of total cloud, one from the infrared algorithm and one from the UV reflectivity algorithm. For the daytime observations (local noon at the equator), these two independent estimates are combined to determine a composite estimate, while at night (local midnight at the equator), only the infrared threshold algorithm is used in the estimate. Quantitative validation of total cloud amount was performed by comparing the algorithm results with estimates derived by an analyst interpreting geosynchronous satellite (GOES) images, along with auxiliary meteorological data. It has been concluded that the systematic errors of the Nimbus-7 total cloud amount algorithm relative to the analyst are less than 10%, and that the random errors of daily estimates range between 7% and 16%, day or night. These empirical results are consistent with results from a theoretical sensitivity study. Qualitative validation has also been performed by making comparisons with GOES visible and infrared images for specific days. Results indicate that the TOMS cloud estimates improve the IR algorithm estimates of low cloud amount and provide for the identification of cirrus and deep convective cloud, but cloud amounts over humid tropical regions tend to be overestimated even with the use of TOMS. These results suggest that the spatial and temporal characteristics of daily and monthly averaged global cloud cover, including cirrus acid deep convective cloud types, which are presented in Part II, are generally well represented by the Nimbus-7 dataset, which covers a six-year period from April 1979 to March 1985.

description: Earth observing systems have proven to be a unique source of long-term synoptic information on numerous physical, chemical and biological parameters on a global scale. Merging this information for integrated studies that peruse key questions about the ocean-atmosphere interface is, however, very challenging. Such studies require interdisciplinary frameworks and novel insights into ways to address the problem. We present here a perspective review on how current and emerging remote sensing technologies could help address two scientific questions within the Surface Ocean-Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) science plan: (1) to what extent does upper-ocean biology affect the composition and radiative properties of the marine boundary layer; and (2) to what extent does upper-ocean turbulence drive fluxes of mass and energy at the air-sea interface. We provide a thorough review of how these questions have been addressed and discuss novel potential avenues using multiplatform space-borne missions, from visible to microwave, active and passive sensors.

description: Measurements of the column-integrated aerosol optical properties in the southern African region were made by Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) Sun-sky radiometers at several sites in August–September 2000 as a part of the Southern African Regional Science Initiative (SAFARI) 2000 dry season field campaign. Fine mode biomass burning aerosols dominated in the northern part of the study region (Zambia), which is an active burning region, and other aerosols including fossil fuel burning, industrial, and aeolian coarse mode types also contributed to the aerosol mixture in other regions (South Africa and Mozambique), which were not as strongly dominated by local burning. The large amount of smoke produced in the north lead to a north-south gradient in aerosol optical depth (?a ) in September, with biomass burning aerosol concentrations reduced by dispersion and deposition during transport. Large average diurnal variations of ?a (typical diurnal range of 25%) were observed at all sites in Zambia as a result of large diurnal trends in fire counts in that region that peak in midafternoon. However, for all sites located downwind to the south, there was relatively little (?5–10%) average diurnal trend observed as the aerosol transport is not strongly influenced by diurnal cycles. AERONET radiometer retrievals of aerosol single scattering albedo (?0) in Zambia showed relatively constant values as a function of ?a for ?a440 ranging from 0.4 to ?2.5. The wavelength dependence of ?0varied significantly over the region, with greater decreases for increasing wavelength at smoke-dominated sites than for sites influenced by a significant coarse mode aerosol component. Retrievals of midvisible ?0 based on the fitting of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR; 400–700 nm) flux measurements to modeled fluxes for smoke in Mongu, Zambia yielded an average value of 0.84. This is in close agreement with the estimated average of 0.85 derived from interpolation of the AERONET retrievals made at 440 and 675 nm for August–September 2000. The spectral dependence of ?0 independently retrieved with the AERONET measurements and with diffuse fraction measurements in Mongu, Zambia was similar for both techniques, as a result of both methods retrieving the imaginary index of refraction (?0.030–0.035 on one day) with very little wavelength dependence.

description: We test the response of the Oxford-RAL Aerosol and Cloud (ORAC) retrieval algorithm for Meteosat Second Generation Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfraRed Imager (MSG SEVIRI) to changes in the aerosol properties used in the dust aerosol model, using data from the Dust Outflow and Deposition to the Ocean (DODO) flight campaign in August 2006. We find that using the observed DODO free tropospheric aerosol size distribution and refractive index increases simulated top of the atmosphere radiance at 0.55 ?m assuming a fixed aerosol optical depth of 0.5 by 10–15%, reaching a maximum difference at low solar zenith angles. We test the sensitivity of the retrieval to the vertical distribution of the aerosol and find that this is unimportant in determining simulated radiance at 0.55 ?m. We also test the ability of the ORAC retrieval when used to produce the GlobAerosol data set to correctly identify continental aerosol outflow from the African continent, and we find that it poorly constrains aerosol speciation. We develop spatially and temporally resolved prior distributions of aerosols to inform the retrieval which incorporates five aerosol models: desert dust, maritime, biomass burning, urban, and continental. We use a Saharan Dust Index and the GEOS-Chem chemistry transport model to describe dust and biomass burning aerosol outflow and compare AOD using our speciation against the GlobAerosol retrieval during January and July 2006. We find AOD discrepancies of 0.2–1 over regions of intense biomass burning outflow, where AOD from our aerosol speciation and GlobAerosol speciation can differ by as much as 50–70%.

description: Data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) on-board the Earth Observing System Terra and Aqua satellites are processed using a land water mask to determine when an algorithm no longer needs to be run or when an algorithm needs to follow a different pathway. Entering the fourth reprocessing (Collection 6 (C6)) the MODIS team replaced the 1 km water mask with a 500 m water mask for improved representation of the continental surfaces. The new water mask represents more small water bodies for an overall increase in water surface from 1% to 2% of the continental surface. While this is still a small fraction of the overall global surface area the increase is more dramatic in certain areas such as the Arctic and Boreal regions where there are dramatic increases in water surface area in the new mask. MODIS products generated by the on-going C6 reprocessing using the new land water mask show significant impact in areas with high concentrations of change in the land water mask. Here differences between the Collection 5 (C5) and C6 water masks and the impact of these differences on the MOD04 aerosol product and the MOD11 land surface temperature product are shown.

description: Cases of absorbing aerosols above clouds (AACs), such as smoke or mineral dust, are omitted from most routinely processed space-based aerosol optical depth (AOD) data products, including those from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). This study presents a sensitivity analysis and preliminary algorithm to retrieve above-cloud AOD and liquid cloud optical depth (COD) for AAC cases from MODIS or similar sensors, for incorporation into a future version of the “Deep Blue” AOD data product. Detailed retrieval simulations suggest that these sensors should be able to determine AAC AOD with a typical level of uncertainty ?25–50% (with lower uncertainties for more strongly absorbing aerosol types) and COD with an uncertainty ?10–20%, if an appropriate aerosol optical model is known beforehand. Errors are larger, particularly if the aerosols are only weakly absorbing, if the aerosol optical properties are not known, and the appropriate model to use must also be retrieved. Actual retrieval errors are also compared to uncertainty envelopes obtained through the optimal estimation (OE) technique; OE-based uncertainties are found to be generally reasonable for COD but larger than actual retrieval errors for AOD, due in part to difficulties in quantifying the degree of spectral correlation of forward model error. The algorithm is also applied to two MODIS scenes (one smoke and one dust) for which near-coincident NASA Ames Airborne Tracking Sun photometer (AATS) data were available to use as a ground truth AOD data source, and found to be in good agreement, demonstrating the validity of the technique with real observations.

description: Partitioning of mineral dust, pollution, smoke, and mixtures using remote sensing techniques can help improve accuracy of satellite retrievals and assessments of the aerosol radiative impact on climate. Spectral aerosol optical depth (?) and single scattering albedo (?o) from Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) measurements are used to form absorption (i.e., ?o and absorption Ångström exponent (?abs)) and size (i.e., extinction Ångström exponent (?ext) and fine mode fraction of ?) relationships to infer dominant aerosol types. Using the long-term AERONET data set (1999–2010), 19 sites are grouped by aerosol type based on known source regions to (1) determine the average?o and ?abs at each site (expanding upon previous work), (2) perform a sensitivity study on ?abs by varying the spectral ?o, and (3) test the ability of each absorption and size relationship to distinguish aerosol types. The spectral ?o averages indicate slightly more aerosol absorption (i.e., a 0.0 < ??o ? 0.02 decrease) than in previous work, and optical mixtures of pollution and smoke with dust show stronger absorption than dust alone. Frequency distributions of ?abs show significant overlap among aerosol type categories, and at least 10% of the ?abs retrievals in each category are below 1.0. Perturbing the spectral ?o by ±0.03 induces significant ?abs changes from the unperturbed value by at least ?±0.6 for Dust, ?±0.2 for Mixed, and ?±0.1 for Urban/Industrial and Biomass Burning. The ?o440nm and ?ext440–870nmrelationship shows the best separation among aerosol type clusters, providing a simple technique for determining aerosol type from surface- and future space-based instrumentation.

description: The University of Milan has been committed for years in supporting open science and in underlying criteria of transparency, accessibility and reproducibility. For years, the openness of publications and data has been supported with ad hoc fundings, extensive training courses especially dedicated to early career researchers, a diamond university press, and the communication of the results achieved at the national and international level. Open science is one of the goals of the university's strategic plan, which aims to implement at least 6 of the European Commission's 8 pillars.

Consequently, openness, transparency and reproducibility are also among the goals of departments, research groups and individuals researchers, whose research results are reported publicly in reports and dashboards.

The university has also recently joined the Barcelona declaration on open research information, reaffirming its existing commitment from 2023 to the exclusive use of open data for research analysis and monitoring. Over the past 10 years, therefore, the university has worked to make a cultural change effective, working on training but also on open and transparent documentation of achievements. In this, collaboration with European alliances has been crucial.

All that considered, the time is ripe to initiate a series of short- and medium-term actions, described in this action plan, that take into consideration the state of the art in the institution and the results already achieved, the challenges posed by the national context and the constraints imposed by the Ministry of Research, which therefore represents an interlocutor whom to deal with together with all the other signatory institutions and the members of the National Chapter.

description: AbstractSingle-scattering albedo (SSA) retrievals obtained with CIMEL Sun-sky radiometers from the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) aerosol monitoring network were used to make comparisons with simultaneous in situ sampling from aircraft profiles carried out by the NASA Langley Aerosol Group Experiment (LARGE) team in the summer of 2011 during the coincident DRAGON-MD (Distributed Regional Aerosol Gridded Observational Network-Maryland) and DISCOVER-AQ (Deriving Information on Surface conditions from Column and Vertically Resolved Observations Relevant to Air Quality) experiments. The single-scattering albedos (interpolated to 550 nm) derived from AERONET measurements for aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 440 nm ≥ 0.4 (mean SSA: 0.979) were on average 0.011 lower than the values derived from the LARGE profile measurements (mean SSA: 0.99). The maximum difference observed was 0.023 with all the observed differences within the combined uncertainty for the stated SSA accuracy (0.03 for AERONET; 0.02 for LARGE). Single-scattering albedo averages were also analyzed for lower aerosol loading conditions (AOD ≥ 0.2) and a dependence on aerosol optical depth was noted with significantly lower single-scattering albedos observed for lower AOD in both AERONET and LARGE data sets. Various explanations for the SSA trend were explored based on other retrieval products including volume median radius and imaginary refractive index as well as column water vapor measurements. Additionally, these SSA trends with AOD were evaluated for one of the DRAGON-MD study sites, Goddard Space Flight Center, and two other Mid-Atlantic AERONET sites over the long-term record dating to 1999.

description: High aerosol loading over the northern Indian subcontinent can result in poor air quality leading to human health consequences and climate perturbations. The international 2008 TIGERZ experiment intensive operational period (IOP) was conducted in the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) around the industrial city of Kanpur (26.51°N, 80.23°E), India, during the premonsoon (April–June). Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) Sun photometers performed frequent measurements of aerosol properties at temporary sites distributed within an area covering ?50 km2 around Kanpur to characterize pollution and dust in a region where complex aerosol mixtures and semi-bright surface effects complicate satellite retrieval algorithms. TIGERZ IOP Sun photometers quantified aerosol optical depth (AOD) increases up to ?0.10 within and downwind of the city, with urban emissions accounting for ?10–20% of the IGP aerosol loading on deployment days. TIGERZ IOP area-averaged volume size distribution and single scattering albedo retrievals indicated spatially homogeneous, uniformly sized, spectrally absorbing pollution and dust particles. Aerosol absorption and size relationships were used to categorize black carbon and dust as dominant absorbers and to identify a third category in which both black carbon and dust dominate absorption. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) AOD retrievals with the lowest quality assurance (QA ? 0) flags were biased high with respect to TIGERZ IOP area-averaged measurements. MODIS AOD retrievals with QA ? 0 had moderate correlation (R2 = 0.52–0.69) with the Kanpur AERONET site, whereas retrievals with QA > 0 were limited in number. Mesoscale-distributed Sun photometers quantified temporal and spatial variability of aerosol properties, and these results were used to validate satellite retrievals.

description: In the fields of computational biology and bioinformatics, the identification of novel disease biomarkers and therapeutic strategies, especially for cancer diseases, remains a crucial challenge. The advancement in computer science, particularly machine learning techniques, has greatly empowered the study of computational biology and bioinformatics for their unprecedented prediction power. This thesis explores how to utilize classic and advanced machine learning models to predict prognostic pathways, biomarkers, and therapeutics associated with cancers.Firstly, this thesis presents a comprehensive overview of computational biology and bioinformatics, covering past milestones to current groundbreaking advancements, providing context for the research. A centerpiece of this thesis is the introduction of the Pathway Ensemble Tool and Benchmark, an original methodology designated for the unbiased discovery of cancer-related pathways and biomarkers. This toolset not only enhances the identification of crucial prognostic components distinguishing clinical outcomes in cancer patients but also guides the development of targeted drug treatments based on these signatures. Inspired by Benchmark, we extended the methodology to single-cell technologies and proposed scBenchmark and PathPCA, which provides insights into the potential and limitations of how novel techniques can benefit biomarker and therapeutic discovery. Next, the research progresses to the development of DREx, a deep learning model trained on large-scale transcriptome data, for predicting gene expression responses to drug treatments across multiple cell lines. DREx highlights the potential of advanced machine learning models in drug repurposing using a genomics-centric approach, which could significantly enhance the efficiency of initial drug selection.The thesis concludes by summarizing these findings and highlighting their importance in advancing cancer-related biomarkers and drug discovery. Various computational predictions in this work have already been experimentally validated, showcasing the real-life impact of these methodologies. By integrating machine learning models with computational biology and bioinformatics, this research pioneers new standards for novel biomarker and therapeutics discovery.

description: The present thesis examines the autonomous offence of fraud via computer under Art. 386A of the Greek Penal Code, as regulated by the Penal Code and approached from both jurisprudence and academic perspectives. The study begins with an overview of this crime within the spectrum of contemporary financial cybercrime and is followed by an analysis of the current international and European legal framework for addressing computer fraud. Furthermore, an attempt is made to trace the legislative evolution of this criminal provision within the Greek legal system, aiming to highlight its specific characteristics. Subsequently, particular attention is paid to the contentious issues arising from the application of this provision, with the aim of identifying the appropriate doctrinal and practical interpretative solutions, in compliance with the fundamental principle of the rule of law. Additionally, certain concerns arising in the field of restorative justice as well as current issues regarding the novel manifestations of online fraud are approached in this light. Finally, the study concludes with the principal findings and proposals.

MODIS-AERONET

description: Aerosol particle size is one of the fundamental quantities needed to determine the role of aerosols in forcing climate, modifying the hydrological cycle, and affecting human health and to separate natural from man-made aerosol components. Aerosol size information can be retrieved from remote-sensing instruments including satellite sensors such as Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and ground-based radiometers such as Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET). Both satellite and ground-based instruments measure the total column ambient aerosol characteristics. Aerosol size can be characterized by a variety of parameters. Here we compare remote-sensing retrievals of aerosol fine mode fraction over ocean. AERONET retrieves fine mode fraction using two methods: the Dubovik inversion of sky radiances and the O'Neill inversion of spectral Sun measurements. Relative to the Dubovik inversion of AERONET sky measurements, MODIS slightly overestimates fine fraction for dust-dominated aerosols and underestimates in smoke- and pollution-dominated aerosol conditions. Both MODIS and the Dubovik inversion overestimate fine fraction for dust aerosols by 0.1–0.2 relative to the O'Neill method of inverting AERONET aerosol optical depth spectra. Differences between the two AERONET methods are principally the result of the different definitions of fine and coarse mode employed in their computational methodologies. These two methods should come into better agreement as a dynamic radius cutoff for fine and coarse mode is implemented for the Dubovik inversion. MODIS overestimation in dust-dominated aerosol conditions should decrease significantly with the inclusion of a nonspherical model.
Comparisons of techniques for measuring shortwave absorption and black carbon content of aerosols from biomass burning in Brazil

description: Six methods for measuring the shortwave absorption and/or black carbon (BC) content of aerosols from biomass burning were compared during the Smoke, Clouds, and Radiation-Brazil (SCAR-B) experiment. The methods were the optical extinction cell (OEC), integrating plate (IP), optical reflectance (OR), particle soot/absorption photometer (PSAP), thermal evolution (TE), and remote sensing (RS). Comparisons were made for individual smoke plumes and for regional hazes dominated by smoke. Taking the OEC as a primary standard, measurements of the absorption coefficient (?a) showed that the OR method had the lowest uncertainty (17%) in ?a. The other optical methods had uncertainties ranging from 20 to 40%. However, with sufficient sample size, the values of ?a derived from the optical methods converged to within 20% of each other. For biomass burning aerosols in regional hazes over Brazil, this led to systematic differences of ±0.02 in the values of the single-scattering albedo derived from the various in situ techniques. It was found also that the BC content of the aerosol and ?a were poorly correlated. This is likely due to a large uncertainty in the BC content of the aerosol measured by TE, and/or a high variability in the mass absorption efficiency of BC in biomass burning aerosol. Hence there is a high uncertainty in inferring ?a from the BC content of smoke aerosol.
Effects of Inventory Bias on Landslide Susceptibility Calculations

description: Many landslide inventories are known to be biased, especially inventories for large regions such as Oregon's SLIDO or NASA's Global Landslide Catalog. These biases must affect the results of empirically derived susceptibility models to some degree. We evaluated the strength of the susceptibility model distortion from postulated biases by truncating an unbiased inventory. We generated a synthetic inventory from an existing landslide susceptibility map of Oregon, then removed landslides from this inventory to simulate the effects of reporting biases likely to affect inventories in this region, namely population and infrastructure effects. Logistic regression models were fitted to the modified inventories. Then the process of biasing a susceptibility model was repeated with SLIDO data. We evaluated each susceptibility model with qualitative and quantitative methods. Results suggest that the effects of landslide inventory bias on empirical models should not be ignored, even if those models are, in some cases, useful. We suggest fitting models in well-documented areas and extrapolating across the study region as a possible approach to modeling landslide susceptibility with heavily biased inventories.

description: We present an analysis of the effect of aerosol forward scattering on the accuracy of aerosol optical depth (AOD) measured by CIMEL Sun photometers. The effect is quantified in terms of AOD and solar zenith angle using radiative transfer modeling. The analysis is based on aerosol size distributions derived from multi-year climatologies of AERONET aerosol retrievals. The study shows that the modeled error is lower than AOD calibration uncertainty (0.01) for the vast majority of AERONET level 2 observations, ?99.53%. Only ?0.47% of the AERONET database corresponding mostly to dust aerosol with high AOD and low solar elevations has larger biases. We also show that observations with extreme reductions in direct solar irradiance do not contribute to level 2 AOD due to low Sun photometer digital counts below a quality control cutoff threshold.

description: There is little published data available on measured optical properties of aerosols in the Southeast Asian region. The AERONET project and collaborators commenced monitoring of aerosol optical properties in February 2003 at four sites in Thailand and two sites in Viet Nam to measure the primarily anthropogenic aerosols generated by biomass burning and fossil fuel combustion/ industrial emissions. Automatic sun/sky radiometers at each site measured spectral aerosol optical depth in 7 wavelengths from 340 to 1020 nm and combined with directional radiances in the almucantar, retrievals were made of spectral single scattering albedo and aerosol size distributions. Angstrom exponents, size distributions and spectral single scattering albedo of primarily biomass burning aerosols at rural sites are compared to measurements made at AERONET sites in other major biomass burning regions in tropical southern Africa, South America, and in boreal forest regions. Additionally, the aerosol single scattering albedo and size distributions measured in Bangkok, Thailand are compared with those measured at other urban sites globally. The influences of aerosols originating from other regions outside of Southeast Asia are analyzed using trajectory analyses. Specifically, cases of aerosol transport and mixing from Southern China and from India are presented.
