description: Machine learning has proven to be a useful tool for automated malware detection, but machine learning models have also been shown to be vulnerable to adversarial attacks. This article addresses the problem of generating adversarial malware samples, specifically malicious Windows Portable Executable files. We summarize and compare work that has focused on adversarial machine learning for malware detection. We use gradient-based, evolutionary algorithm-based, and reinforcement-based methods to generate adversarial samples, and then test the generated samples against selected antivirus products. We compare the selected methods in terms of accuracy and practical applicability. The results show that applying optimized modifications to previously detected malware can lead to incorrect classification of the file as benign. It is also known that generated malware samples can be successfully used against detection models other than those used to generate them and that using combinations of generators can create new samples that evade detection. Experiments show that the Gym-malware generator, which uses a reinforcement learning approach, has the greatest practical potential. This generator achieved an average sample generation time of 5.73 seconds and the highest average evasion rate of 44.11%. Using the Gym-malware generator in combination with itself improved the evasion rate to 58.35%.

description: A compact detector for space-time metric and curvature is highly desirable. Here we show that quantum spatial superpositions of mesoscopic objects, of the type which would in principle become possible with a combination of state of the art techniques and taking into account the known sources of decoherence, could be exploited to create such a detector. By using Stern-Gerlach (SG) interferometry with masses much larger than atoms, where the interferometric signal is extracted by measuring spins, we show that accelerations as low as $5\times10^{-15}\textrm{ms}^{-2}\textrm{Hz}^{-1/2}$ or better, as well as the frame dragging effects caused by the Earth, could be sensed. Constructing such an apparatus to be non-symmetric would also enable the direct detection of curvature and gravitational waves (GWs). The GW sensitivity scales differently from the stray acceleration sensitivity, a unique feature of MIMAC. We have identified mitigation mechanisms for the known sources of noise, namely Gravity Gradient Noise (GGN), uncertainty principle and electro-magnetic forces. Hence it could potentially lead to a meter sized, orientable and vibrational noise (thermal/seismic) resilient detector of mid (ground based) and low (space based) frequency GWs from massive binaries (the predicted regimes are similar to those targeted by atom interferometers and LISA).

Experimental Archaeology

description: This paper considers briefly the implications of stake-holes and post-holes with special reference to their structural and constructional qualities, and those factors which may affect their archaeological form. the case studies of two specific reconstructions of Iron Age round-houses are presented. The first is a post- and stake-built structure based on an excavation at Pimperne Down, Dorest. The second is a stone-built structure based on the excavation of Conderton Camp on Bredon Hill, Wors. In both studies, emphasis is placed on the problems of evaluating archaeological data, and the implications of those data in terms of material resources and the potential of woodland management as an integral element of the pre-historic agricultural economy.

description: In recent years, metamaterials have gained considerable attention as a promising material technology due to their unique properties and customizable design, distinguishing them from traditional materials. This article delves into the value of acoustic metamaterials in room acoustics, particularly in small room acoustics that poses specific challenges due to their significant cavity resonant nature. Small rooms usually exhibit an inhomogeneous frequency response spectrum, requiring higher wall absorption with specific spectrum to achieve a uniform acoustic environment, i.e., a constant reverberation time over a wide audible frequency band. To tackle this issue, we developed a design that simultaneously incorporates numerous subwavelength acoustic resonators at different frequencies to achieve customized broadband absorption for the walls of a specific example room. The on-site experimental measurements agree well with the numerical predictions, attesting to the robustness of the design and method. The proposed method of reverse-engineering metamaterials by targeting specific acoustic requirements has broad applicability and unique advantages in small confined spaces with high acoustic requirements, such as recording studios, listening rooms, and car cabins.

The "Dual" Variables Of Yang-Mills Theory And Local Gauge Invariant Variables

Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: After adding auxiliary fields and integrating out the original variables, the Yang-Mills action can be expressed in terms of local gauge invariant variables. This method reproduces the known solution of the two dimensional $SU(N)$ theory. In more than two dimensions the action splits into a topological part and a part proportional to $α_s$. We demonstrate the procedure for $SU(2)$ in three dimensions where we reproduce a gravity-like theory. We discuss the four dimensional case as well. We use a cubic expression in the fields as a space-time metric to obtain a covariant Lagrangian. We also show how the four-dimensional $SU(2)$ theory can be expressed in terms of a local action with six degrees of freedom only.

description: Reynolds opens the debate towards experimental archaeology as a science which was long ignored by archaeologists. A working Iron Age farm, dated to 300 BC and a Roman Villa are described as projects in this book. The constructors were confronted with climate extremes in Britain and trails to material. The experiments force the participants to rethink, reevaluate, and recreate their tests and trails. The farms included also agricultural experiments, such as grain storage. Concluding P.J. Reynolds pleas for a closer cooperation of all sciences, including experimental archaeology, to gain more insight and answers to the past. He also emphasis that there is often not only one experiment or one answer, but an long ongoing process of understanding.

description: During the U.S. 89 project, 41 prehistoric sites located approximately 30 km (48 miles) north of Flagstaff, Arizona, were investigated. All sites were on Coconino National Forest (CNF) land, specifically the Peaks Ranger District. The project was conducted by Desert Archaeology, Inc., personnel for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) prior to widening and improvement of 26.7 km (16.6 miles) of U.S. 89, between the southern boundary of Wupatki National Monument in the north, and the town of Fernwood in the south. Archaeological fieldwork occurred over two primary field seasons in 1997 and 1998, with a very brief field season in 1999. A total of almost 12 person-years of labor was expended during fieldwork. The analyses of environmental data recovered during the U.S. 89 project are presented in this volume.

description: We discuss the phenomenon of universal fluctuations in mesoscopic systems and nuclei. For this purpose we use Random Matrix Theory (RMT). The statistical $S$-matrix is used to obtain the physical observables in the case of Quantum Dots, both the Schrödinger and the Dirac types. To obtain analytical results, we use the Stub model. In all cases we concentrate our attention on the average density of maxima in the fluctuating observables, such as the electronic conductance. The case of neutron capture by a variety of nuclei at thermal energies is also considered. Here the average density of maxima in the cross section vs. the mass number is analysed and traced to astrophysical conditions.

description: This paper examines the intergenerational transmission of gender attitudes in India, a setting with severe discrimination against women and girls. We use survey data on gender attitudes (specifically, about the appropriate roles and rights of women and girls) collected from nearly 5500 adolescents attending 314 schools in the state of Haryana, and their parents. We find that when a parent holds a more discriminatory attitude, his or her child is about 11 percentage points more likely to hold the view. We find that parents hold greater sway over students’ gender attitudes than their peers do, and that mothers influence children’s gender attitudes more than fathers. Parental attitudes influence child attitudes more in Scheduled Caste communities and student gender attitudes are positively correlated with behaviours such as interacting with children of the opposite gender.

description: Swift J0243.6+6124 is a newly discovered Galactic Be/X-ray binary, revealed in late September 2017 in a giant outburst with a peak luminosity of 2E+39 (d/7 kpc)^2 erg/s (0.1-10 keV), with no formerly reported activity. At this luminosity, Swift J0243.6+6124 is the first known galactic ultraluminous X-ray pulsar. We describe Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER)} and Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) timing and spectral analyses for this source. A new orbital ephemeris is obtained for the binary system using spin-frequencies measured with GBM and 15-50 keV fluxes measured with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Burst Alert Telescope to model the system's intrinsic spin-up. Power spectra measured with NICER show considerable evolution with luminosity, including a quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) near 50 mHz that is omnipresent at low luminosity and has an evolving central frequency. Pulse profiles measured over the combined 0.2-100 keV range show complex evolution that is both luminosity and energy dependent. Near the critical luminosity of L~1E+38 erg/s, the pulse profiles transition from single-peaked to double peaked, the pulsed fraction reaches a minimum in all energy bands, and the hardness ratios in both NICER and GBM show a turn-over to softening as the intensity increases. This behavior repeats as the outburst rises and fades, indicating two distinct accretion regimes. These two regimes are suggestive of the accretion structure on the neutron star surface transitioning from a Coulomb collisional stopping mechanism at lower luminosities to a radiation-dominated stopping mechanism at higher luminosities. This is the highest observed (to date) value of the critical luminosity, suggesting a magnetic field of B ~1E+13 G.

Publisher: name: The Royal Society
Year: 2019

description: An important capacity of genes is the rapid change of expression levels to cope with environment, known as expression responsiveness or plasticity. Elucidating the genomic mechanisms determining expression plasticity is critical for understanding the molecular basis of phenotypic plasticity, fitness and adaptation. In this study, we systematically quantified gene expression plasticity in four metazoan species by integrating changes of expression levels under a large number of genetic and environmental conditions. From this, we demonstrated that expression plasticity measures a distinct feature of gene expression that is orthogonal to other well-studies features including gene expression level and tissue specificity/broadness. Expression plasticity is conserved across species with important physiological implications. The magnitude of expression plasticity is highly correlated with gene function and genes with high plasticity are implicated in disease susceptibility. Genome-wide analysis identified many conserved promoter cis-elements, trans-acting factors (such as CFCF), and gene body histone modifications (H3K36me3, H3K79me2 and H4K20me1) that are significantly associated with expression plasticity. Analysis of expression changes in perturbation experiments further validated a causal role of specific transcription factors and histone modifications. Collectively, this work reveals general properties, physiological implications and multivariable regulation of gene expression plasticity in metazoans, extending the mechanistic understanding of gene regulation.

description: We work out the basics of conformal $N=(4,4)$, 2D supergravity in the $N=(4,4)$, 2D analytic harmonic superspace with two independent sets of harmonic variables. We define the relevant most general analytic superspace diffeomorphism group and show that in the flat limit it goes over into the ``large'' $N=(4,4)$, 2D superconformal group. The basic objects of the supergravity considered are analytic vielbeins covariantizing two analyticity-preserving harmonic derivatives. For self-consistency they should be constrained in a certain way. We solve the constraints and show that the remaining irreducible field content in a WZ gauge amounts to a new short $N=(4,4)$ Weyl supermultiplet. As in the previously known cases, it involves no auxiliary fields and the number of remaining components in it coincides with the number of residual gauge invariances. We discuss various truncations of this ``master'' conformal supergravity group and its compensations via couplings to $N=(4,4)$ superconformal matter multiplets. Besides recovering the standard minimal off-shell $N=(4,4)$ conformal and Poincaré supergravity multiplets, we find, at the linearized level, several new off-shell gauge representations.

description: In this work, we develop a supervised learning model for implementing robust quantum control in composite-pulse systems, where the training parameters can be either phases, detunings, or Rabi frequencies. This model exhibits great resistance to all kinds of systematic errors, including single, multiple, and time-varying errors. We propose a modified gradient descent algorithm for adapting the training of phase parameters, and show that different sampling methods result in different robust performances. In particular, there is a trade-off between high fidelity and robustness for a given number of training parameters, and both can be simultaneously enhanced by increasing the number of training parameters (pulses). For its applications, we demonstrate that the current model can be used for achieving high-fidelity arbitrary superposition states and universal quantum gates in a robust manner. This work provides a highly efficient learning model for fault-tolerant quantum computation by training various physical parameters.

description: In spoken word recognition, subphonemic variation influences lexical activation, with sounds near a category boundary increasing phonetic competition as well as lexical competition. The current study investigated the interplay of these factors using a visual world task in which participants were instructed to look at a picture of an auditory target (e.g. peacock). Eyetracking data indicated that participants were slowed when a voiced onset competitor (e.g. beaker) was also displayed, and this effect was amplified when acoustic-phonetic competition was increased. Simultaneously-collected fMRI data showed that several brain regions were sensitive to the presence of the onset competitor, including the supramarginal, middle temporal, and inferior frontal gyri, and functional connectivity analyses revealed that the coordinated activity of left frontal regions depends on both acoustic-phonetic and lexical factors. Taken together, results suggest a role for frontal brain structures in resolving lexical competition, particularly as atypical acoustic-phonetic information maps on to the lexicon.

description: Classical molecular dynamics (MD) has been shown to be effective in simulating heat conduction in certain molecular junctions since it inherently takes into account some essential methodological components which are lacking with quantum Landauer-type transport model, such as many-body full force-field interactions, anharmonicity effects and nonlinear responses for large temperature biases. However, the classical mechanics reaches its limit in the environments where the quantum effects are significant (e.g. with low-temperatures substrates, presence of extremely high frequency molecular modes). Here, we present an atomistic simulation methodology for molecular heat conduction that incorporates the quantum Bose-Einstein statistics into an effective temperature in the form of modified Langevin equation. We show that the results from such a quasi-classical effective temperature (QCET) MD method deviates drastically when the baths temperature approaches zero from classical MD simulations and the results converge to the classical ones when the bath approaches the high-temperature limit, which makes the method suitable for full temperature range. In addition, we show that our quasi-classical thermal transport method can be used to model the conducting substrate layout and molecular composition (e.g. anharmonicities, high-frequency modes). Anharmonic models are explicitly simulated via the Morse potential and compared to pure harmonic interactions, to show the effects of anharmonicities under quantum colored bath setups. Finally, the chain length dependence of heat conduction is examined for one-dimensional polymer chains placed in between quantum augmented baths.

description: The current awareness of the depletion in the fossil fuels reserves and the effect of green house gases (GHG) toward global warming has motivated many researchers in the area of energy system modelling. This thesis presents mathematical models to aid decision makers in determining the optimal spatially aggregated energy supply chain network to satisfy the future energy demand at the national level. Firstly, the energy planning problem using Thailand’s energy system as the case study is addressed by the development of a multi-period environmentally conscious deterministic energy system optimisation model. The model is formulated as a linear programming (LP) model that can address decision-making of the optimal future energy supply chain network at the national level with consideration of the scale of GHG emissions of the network. The determination of data required for the development of the proposed model is also tackled. Secondly, the reformulation of the multi-period deterministic model as a three-staged stochastic energy system optimisation model that can support decision-making under uncertainty in energy demand is addressed. Further extensions to the deterministic model include its reformulation to take into account the geographical location of an energy system. The linear programming model is reformulated as a mixed integer linear programming model (MILP) that can incorporated the spatial nature of the energy system as part of the decision-making process. The decisions to be determined include: (1) scale, type and location of energy production facility, (2) scale and type of resource usage in each location, (3) flow of resources and energy between grids to satisfy the energy demand throughout the planning horizon. Next, the Biomass-to-Energy supply chain network over long-term planning with application to Thailand is focused, based on the spatial MILP formulation. A higher complexity of geographical location is addressed as well as increases in types of biomass and biomass thermal conversion technologies. The objective function is modified to maximise the total network profit rather than minimising the total network costs. Finally, the long-term planning of a Waste-to Energy supply chain network with application to Thailand is investigated. The Waste-to-Energy system is addressed in view of investors as decision-makers as the objective function is also to maximise the total profit of the network. Different network structures of converting waste into energy are applied. The problem is also formulated as a MILP problem. This thesis reveals that, based on the model assumptions, the optimal environmentally conscious energy supply chain networks rely heavily on the utilisation of renewable resources throughout the country. With the abundant amount of biomass and waste resources available in Thailand, Biomass and Waste-to-Energy projects have a high potential in diversifying the use of fossil fuels as primary energy sources in Thailand.

description: We investigate the electromagnetic duality properties of an abelian gauge theory on a compact oriented four-manifold by analysing the behaviour of a generalised partition function under modular transformations of the dimensionless coupling constants. The true partition function is invariant under the full modular group but the generalised partition function exhibits more complicated behaviour depending on topological properties of the four-manifold concerned. It is already known that there may be "modular weights" which are linear combinations of the Euler number and Hirzebruch signature of the four-manifold. But sometimes the partition function transforms only under a subgroup of the modular group (the Hecke subgroup). In this case it is impossible to define real spinor wave functions on the four-manifold. But complex spinors are possible provided the background magnetic fluxes are appropriately fractional rather that integral. This gives rise to a second partition function which enables the full modular group to be realised by permuting the two partition functions, together with a third. Thus the full modular group is realised in all cases. The demonstration makes use of various constructions concerning integral lattices and theta functions that seem to be of intrinsic interest.

description: We view Digital Ecosystems to be the digital counterparts of biological ecosystems, which are considered to be robust, self-organising and scalable architectures that can automatically solve complex, dynamic problems. So, this work is concerned with the creation, investigation, and optimisation of Digital Ecosystems, exploiting the self-organising properties of biological ecosystems. First, we created the Digital Ecosystem, a novel optimisation technique inspired by biological ecosystems, where the optimisation works at two levels: a first optimisation, migration of agents which are distributed in a decentralised peer-to-peer network, operating continuously in time; this process feeds a second optimisation based on evolutionary computing that operates locally on single peers and is aimed at finding solutions to satisfy locally relevant constraints. We then investigated its self-organising aspects, starting with an extension to the definition of Physical Complexity to include the evolving agent populations of our Digital Ecosystem. Next, we established stability of evolving agent populations over time, by extending the Chli-DeWilde definition of agent stability to include evolutionary dynamics. Further, we evaluated the diversity of the software agents within evolving agent populations, relative to the environment provided by the user base. To conclude, we considered alternative augmentations to optimise and accelerate our Digital Ecosystem, by studying the accelerating effect of a clustering catalyst on the evolutionary dynamics of our Digital Ecosystem, through the direct acceleration of the evolutionary processes. We also studied the optimising effect of targeted migration on the ecological dynamics of our Digital Ecosystem, through the indirect and emergent optimisation of the agent migration patterns. Overall, we have advanced the understanding of creating Digital Ecosystems, the self-organisation that occurs within them, and the optimisation of their Ecosystem-Oriented Architecture.
Multimodal Multispectral Optical Endoscopic Imaging for Biomedical Applications

description: Optical imaging is an emerging field of clinical diagnostics that can address the growing medical need for early cancer detection and diagnosis. Various human cancers are amenable to better prognosis and patient survival if found and treated during early disease onset. Besides providing wide-field, macroscopic diagnostic information similar to existing clinical imaging techniques, optical imaging modalities have the added advantage of microscopic, high resolution cellular-level imaging from in vivo tissues in real time. This comprehensive imaging approach to cancer detection and the possibility of performing an ‘optical biopsy’ without tissue removal has led to growing interest in the field with numerous techniques under investigation. Three optical techniques are discussed in this thesis, namely multispectral fluorescence imaging (MFI), hyperspectral reflectance imaging (HRI) and fluorescence confocal endomicroscopy (FCE). MFI and HRI are novel endoscopic imaging-based extensions of single point detection techniques, such as laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. This results in the acquisition of spectral data in an intuitive imaging format that allows for quantitative evaluation of tissue disease states. We demonstrate MFI and HRI on fluorophores, tissue phantoms and ex vivo tissues and present the results as an RGB colour image for more intuitive assessment. This follows dimensionality reduction of the acquired spectral data with a fixed-reference isomap diagnostic algorithm to extract only the most meaningful data parameters. FCE is a probe-based point imaging technique offering confocal detection in vivo with almost histology-grade images. We perform FCE imaging on chemotherapy-treated in vitro human ovarian cancer cells, ex vivo human cancer tissues and photosensitiser-treated in vivo murine tumours to show the enhanced detection capabilities of the technique. Finally, the three modalities are applied in combination to demonstrate an optical viewfinder approach as a possible minimally-invasive imaging method for early cancer detection and diagnosis.

description: The approximately 15,333 acre Charleston Naval Weapons Station is located in Berkeley County, on the west bank of the Cooper River. A cultural resource survey of the project tract will be necessary to begin implementation of the draft "Historic and Archaeological Resources Protection Plan" (HARP), and to comply with Sections 106 and 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), Department of Defense Directive No. 4710.1 (June 21,1984), the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), Navy OPNAV 5090.1A "Environmental and Natural Resources Protection Manual," NAVY SECNAV Inst. 4000.35, and other pertinent regulations. The Naval Weapons Station (NWS), Charleston, is comprised of three sections: (1) the Weapons Station-9184 acres; (2) the Polaris Missile Facility U.S. Atlantic Fleet Area (POMFLANT)-5185 acres; and (3) the South Annex-964 acres (Figures 2-5). The purposes of this research design are to present sufficient archival research to provide reviewers with information of the types of cultural resources that may exist within the project area and to present a program to field test models stratifying the property into zones of varying potential for archaeological resources. This program identifies 2000 acres of high potential area for intensive archaeological survey; a reconnaissance level archeological survey is proposed for the remaining approximately 8000 undisturbed acres within the NWS. Archival research included a review of the South Carolina State Site Files located at the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology (SCIAA), University of South Carolina; the list of National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) properties located at the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO); the general plat index located at the South Carolina Archives and History; and historic maps of the project area. Six previously identified archaeological sites (38BK247, 38BK248, 38BK1071, 38BK1269, 38BK1270, 38BK1271) are located within the project area. None of these sites have previously been evaluated for NRHP eligibility. No previously identified NRHP properties are located within the project area.

description: Pixel sensors based on commercial high-voltage CMOS processes are an exciting technology that is considered as an option for the outer layer of the ATLAS inner tracker upgrade at the High Luminosity LHC. Here, charged particles are detected using deep n-wells as sensor diodes with the depleted region extending into the silicon bulk. Both analog and digital readout electronics can be added to achieve different levels of integration up to a fully monolithic sensor. Small scale prototypes using the ams CMOS technology have previously demonstrated that it can achieve the required radiation tolerance of $10^{15}~\text{n}_\text{eq}/\text{cm}^2$ and detection efficiencies above $99.5~\%$. Recently, large area prototypes, comparable in size to a full sensor, have been produced that include most features required towards a final design: the H35demo prototype produced in ams H35 technology that supports both external and integrated readout and the monolithic ATLASPix1 pre-production design produced in ams aH18 technology. Both chips are based on large fill-factor pixel designs, but differ in readout structure. Performance results for H35DEMO with capacitively-coupled external readout and first results for the monolithic ATLASPix1 are shown.
