description: Στην ψηφιακή εποχή που ζούμε οι κυβερνοεπιθέσεις διαδραματίζουν μεγάλο ρόλο αφού εξελίσσονται όλο και περισσότερο, στοχεύοντας άτομα, επιχειρήσεις και κυβερνήσεις. Η λήψη μέτρων κατά των κυβερνοεπιθέσεων είναι ζωτικής σημασίας. Το Windows αποτελεί το δημοφιλέστερο λειτουργικό σύστημα για τους προσωπικούς ηλεκτρονικούς υπολογιστές και η εργασία αυτή ασχολείται με τεχνικές παραβίασης του Windows 11. Για αρχή, καταγράφονται οι μηχανισμοί ασφάλειας που προσφέρει το Windows 11. Έπειτα, γίνεται αναφορά στο MITRE ATT&CK όπου είναι μια ευρέως αναγνωρισμένη βάση δεδομένων που περιγράφει τις τακτικές, τεχνικές και διαδικασίες που χρησιμοποιούν οι κυβερνοεπιτιθέμενοι προκειμένου να πραγματοποιήσουν τις επιθέσεις τους. Στην παρούσα εργασία, αναλύονται οι τεχνικές της αρχικής πρόσβασης (Initial Access) με βάση τον πίνακα MITRE ATT&CK. Στην συνέχεια, με την χρήση του εργαλείου Caldera της MITRE ATT&CK επιτυγχάνεται αρχική πρόσβαση στο Windows 11 και εφαρμόζεται ένα σχέδιο εξομοίωσης της ομάδας APT29. Το Caldera είναι ένα εργαλείο αυτοματοποίησης επιθέσεων και χρησιμοποιείται για να προσομοιώσει τις τακτικές, τεχνικές και διαδικασίες που περιγράφονται στο πλαίσιο MITRE ATT&CK. Ακόμα, γίνεται χρήση των εργαλείων SCAP (Security Content Automation Protocol) και SCAP Compliance Checker για να ελέγξει αν το σύστημα συμμορφώνεται με συγκεκριμένα πρότυπα ασφαλείας. Έπειτα, γίνεται χρήση του STIG (Security Technical Implementation Guides) και STIG Viewer για την διαχείριση της ασφάλειας του ηλεκτρονικού υπολογιστή. Παρατηρείται πως το επίπεδο συμμόρφωσης με τις πολιτικές ασφάλειας είναι αρκετά χαμηλό και πως χρειάζεται βελτίωση. Για την βελτίωση ασφάλειας έγινε χρήση του εργαλείου LGPO (Local Group Policy Objects) όπου επιτρέπει την διαχείριση και την διαμόρφωση των πολιτικών ασφαλείας στον υπολογιστή. Συνοψίζοντας, για την αποτελεσματική προστασία ενός σύστημα Windows 11 από κυβερνοεπιθέσεις χρειάζεται η εφαρμογή ισχυρών πολιτικών ασφάλειας και η χρήση εργαλείων προσομοίωσης επιθέσεων. Είναι σημαντικό να τονιστεί ότι όλες οι τεχνικές παραβίασης που δοκιμάστηκαν κατάφεραν να περάσουν επιτυχώς, δείχνοντας την αδυναμία του Windows Defender να τις αποτρέψει.

description: There are several prognostic multigene-based tests for managing breast cancer (BC), but limited data comparing them in the same cohort. We compared the prognostic performance of the EndoPredict (EP) test (standardized for pathology laboratory) with the research-based PAM50 non-standardized qRT-PCR assay in node-positive estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) and HER2-negative (HER2−) BC patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy followed by endocrine therapy (ET) in the GEICAM/9906 trial. EP and PAM50 risk of recurrence (ROR) scores [based on subtype (ROR-S) and on subtype and proliferation (ROR-P)] were compared in 536 ER+/HER2− patients. Scores combined with clinical information were evaluated: ROR-T (ROR-S, tumor size), ROR-PT (ROR-P, tumor size), and EPclin (EP, tumor size, nodal status). Patients were assigned to risk-categories according to prespecified cutoffs. Distant metastasis-free survival (MFS) was analyzed by Kaplan–Meier. ROR-S, ROR-P, and EP scores identified a low-risk group with a relative better outcome (10-year MFS: ROR-S 87%; ROR-P 89%; EP 93%). There was no significant difference between tests. Predictors including clinical information showed superior prognostic performance compared to molecular scores alone (10-year MFS, low-risk group: ROR-T 88%; ROR-PT 92%; EPclin 100%). The EPclin-based risk stratification achieved a significantly improved prediction of MFS compared to ROR-T, but not ROR-PT. All signatures added prognostic information to common clinical parameters. EPclin provided independent prognostic information beyond ROR-T and ROR-PT. ROR and EP can reliably predict risk of distant metastasis in node-positive ER+/HER2− BC patients treated with chemotherapy and ET. Addition of clinical parameters into risk scores improves their prognostic ability.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s10549-016-3725-z) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

description: The conventionally separated treatments for strangelets and strange stars are now unified with a more comprehensive theoretical description for objects ranging from strangelets to strange stars. After constraining the model parameter according to the Witten-Bodmer hypothesis and observational mass-radius probability distribution of pulsars, we investigate the properties of this kind of objects. It is found that the energy per baryon decreases monotonously for increasing baryon number and reaches its minimum at the maximum baryon number, corresponding to the most massive strange star. Due to the quark depletion, an electric potential well for negatively charged particles is formed on the surface of the quark part, which may provide some unique observables. For a rotational bare strange star, a magnetic field with the typical strength of pulsars is generated.

description: Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy can generate the data required for the assignment of absolute configuration, but the spectra are hard to interpret. We have recorded VCD data for thirty pairs of small organic compounds and we use this database to validate a method for the automated analysis of VCD spectra and the assignment of absolute configuration: the Cai•factor (Configuration: absolute information). The analysis of the data demonstrates that the procedure is a reliable and time-efficient method for determination of absolute configuration, which gives both the assignment and a measure of confidence in the outcome, even when the spectra are imperfect. The majority of molecules tested have a high confidence score and all of these have the correct assignment.

description: We theoretically investigate the impact of the defect-limited carrier lifetime on the performance of germanium (Ge) light sources, specifically LEDs and lasers. For Ge LEDs, we show that improving the material quality can offer even greater enhancements than techniques such as tensile strain, the leading approach for enhancing Ge light emission. Even for Ge that is so heavily strained that it becomes a direct bandgap semiconductor, the ~1 ns defect-limited carrier lifetime of typical epitaxial Ge limits the LED internal quantum efficiency to less than 10%. In contrast, if the epitaxial Ge carrier lifetime can be increased to its bulk value, internal quantum efficiencies exceeding 90% become possible. For Ge lasers, we show that the defect-limited lifetime becomes increasing important as tensile strain is introduced, and that this defect-limited lifetime must be improved if the full benefits of strain are to be realized. We conversely show that improving the material quality supersedes much of the utility of n-type doping for Ge lasers.

description: Compared with young White women, young Black women are more likely to present with aggressive breast cancer (BC) subtypes that are potentially linked to worse health-related quality of life (HRQOL); however, there is limited consensus regarding HRQOL needs among young Black BC survivors. Employing Ferrell's framework on QOL in BC (i.e., physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being), we conducted a systematic review on HRQOL among Black BC survivors aged <50 years and proposed recommendations for advancing HRQOL research and care for this population.
title: Managing the transportation of hazardous materials with time windows and uncertainties
Creators: name: Tasouji Hassanpour, Saeed
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: The dependence of modern life on numerous hazardous products is an undeniable matter. Considering the dangerous nature of these materials, providing versatile means of transportation is critical and essential. The flexibility and applicability of the mode of truck transportation have made it the most favorable method for conveying hazardous materials (hazmats), yet the shipping performance can be largely susceptible to ever-changing traffic and weather conditions. Inspired by the importance as well as lack of joint considerations of uncertainties, random disruptions, and time-relevant issues, this research plans to examine the location-routing decisions in hazmat transportation by applying stochastic and robust programming models to vehicle routing problems with time windows, so to ensure the corresponding efficiency, efficacy, and equity. Providing effective solutions to the hazmat locationrouting problems is of significant importance for both logistics companies and the government. Exact and heuristic algorithms will be explored for timely and accurate solutions. To assess the practicability and validity of the proposed approaches, realworld case studies will be investigated from the optimization perspective, from which we derive managerial insights that enhance decision-making for system stakeholders. In this regard, this thesis contributes to the current literature in the following three ways. First, we develop a scenario-based robust location-routing model for hazmat transportation with joint consideration of time windows, time-dependency, multiple existing paths between nodes, and disruptions. Second, a stochastic location-routing problem of infectious waste during a pandemic is discussed in a 3-tier network. Embedding temporary facilities, uncertainty, and chance-constrained time windows into the model, a brach-and-price algorithm is developed to solve the model to optimality. Finally, the stochastic location-routing problem of the hazardous waste network is addressed using a three-stage decision framework. The critical features involved in this model are stochastic waste release dates, the risk-aversion parameter, and the proposed decision framework of the model. The framework is built upon a costclustering approach, risk-oriented a priori plan, and recourse actions respectively for location-allocation, routing, and adaption decisions. We summarize the contributions of this thesis, discuss the overall results obtained, and present the potential future research directions.

description: The relationship between physical activity and breast cancer risk has been extensively studied among women of European descent, with most studies reporting inverse associations. However, data on American women of African ancestry (AA) and by tumor subtypes are sparse. Thus, we examined associations of vigorous exercise and breast cancer risk overall, and by estrogen receptor (ER) status, in the African American Breast Cancer Epidemiology and Risk Consortium. We pooled data from four large studies on 2482 ER+ cases, 1374 ER− cases, and 16,959 controls. Multivariable logistic regression was used to compute odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) for the risk of breast cancer overall, and polytomous logistic regression was used to model the risk of ER+ and ER− cancer. Recent vigorous exercise was associated with a statistically significant, modestly decreased risk for breast cancer overall (OR 0.88, 95 % CI 0.81–0.96) and for ER+ cancer (OR 0.88, 95 % CI 0.80–0.98), but not for ER− cancer (OR 0.93, 95 % CI 0.82–1.06). Overall, there was no strong evidence of effect modification by age, menopausal status, body mass index, and parity. However, our data were suggestive of modification by family history, such that an inverse association was present among women without a family history but not among those with a relative affected by breast cancer. Results from this large pooled analysis provide evidence that vigorous physical activity is associated with a modestly reduced risk of breast cancer in AA women, specifically ER+ cancer.

description: We introduce and investigate an SIS-type model for the spread of an infectious disease, where the infected population is structured with respect to the different strain of the virus/bacteria they are carrying. Our aim is to capture the interesting scenario when individuals infected with different strains cause secondary (new) infections at different rates. Therefore, we consider a nonlinear infection process, which generalises the bilinear process arising from the classic mass-action assumption. Our main motivation is to study competition between different strains of a virus/bacteria. From the mathematical point of view, we are interested whether the nonlinear infection process leads to a well-posed model. We use a semilinear formulation to show global existence and positivity of solutions up to a critical value of the exponent in the nonlinearity. Furthermore, we establish the existence of the endemic steady state for particular classes of nonlinearities.

The investigations include component investments, maintenance and operational costs, as well as the components’ and fuels’ carbon footprints, operational greenhouse gases and other relevant emissions. Dynamic energy system models are used to derive economically optimal system designs for an appropriate technology comparison in a cruise ship case study. The assessment is conducted for a cruise ship case study with technology parameters for the near future and 2050. Results indicate that the auxiliary power system based on diesel combustion is inferior both economically and environmentally compared to SOFCs or gas combustion engines. While latter are the most cost efficient, SOFC application provides an environmental improvement without the need for a new fuel such as hydrogen. In a final outlook for the year 2050, SOFCs economically overtake gas combustion engines on the condition that their investment costs decrease and synthetic fuels are introduced to the market as a low emission solution.

title: Academic and personal success for students with learning disabilities through individualized learning supports
Creators: name: Crawford, Christine
Publisher: name: Memorial University o Newfoundland

description: Post-secondary students with learning disabilities often face challenges which can make their learning experiences less than ideal. It is important that students with learning disabilities have access to and are provided with the appropriate academic accommodations and/or learning supports they require for success. Individualized learning supports provide students with the resources and skills necessary to build upon and foster growth in self-determination, selfadvocacy, self-confidence, and mental health and well-being. A literature review was conducted to explore the characteristics of individualized learning supports and their overall impact on the academic success of students with learning disabilities. Academic coaching is explored in detail and compared to other individualized learning supports. Using mixed methods research, the main goal of the study was to explore post-secondary students’ involvement in and perceptions of individualized learning supports, as well as investigate which publicly funded post-secondary institutions in Ontario, Canada have academic coaching programs available to students. The study showed that the academic accommodations and individualized learning supports students participated in, overall had positive impacts on their learning experiences. Students shared negative experiences with access to learning supports or difficulties navigating learning resource centres' websites. The study brought to light that few Ontario colleges or universities have academic coaching as an individualized learning support available to students. The benefits of universal design for learning (UDL) and barriers to learning support services are discussed alongside suggestions for improving individualized learning supports within the post-secondary education setting.

An ultralight pseudoscalar boson

description: Using a fundamental discrete symmetry, $\mathbb{Z}_N$, we construct a two-axion model with the QCD axion solving the strong-$CP$ problem, and an ultralight axion (ULA) with $m_{\rm ULA}\approx 10^{-22}\text{ eV}$ providing the dominant form of dark matter (DM). The ULA is light enough to be detectable in cosmology from its imprints on structure formation, and may resolve the small-scale problems of cold DM. The necessary relative DM abundances occur without fine tuning in constructions with decay constants $f_{\rm ULA}\sim 10^{17}\text{ GeV}$, and $f_{\rm QCD}\sim 10^{11}\text{ GeV}$. An example model achieving this has $N=24$, and we construct a range of other possibilities. We compute the ULA couplings to the Standard Model, and discuss prospects for direct detection. The QCD axion may be detectable in standard experiments through the $\vec{E}\cdot\vec{B}$ and $G\tilde{G}$ couplings. In the simplest models, however, the ULA has identically zero coupling to both $G\tilde{G}$ of QCD and $\vec{E}\cdot\vec{B}$ of electromagnetism due to vanishing electromagnetic and color anomalies. The ULA couples to fermions with strength $g\propto 1/f_{\rm ULA}$. This coupling causes spin precession of nucleons and electrons with respect to the DM wind with period $t\sim$months. Current limits do not exclude the predicted coupling strength, and our model is within reach of the CASPEr-Wind experiment, using nuclear magnetic resonance.

description: В статье представлены результаты полевых экспериментов в различных хозяйствах Краснодарского края по оценке воздействия биопрепарата «Code of Balance F1» на встречаемость грибов рода Fusarium в почве и корнеплодах сахарной свёклы, а также влияние различных видов обработки на урожайность и показатели дигестии сахарной свёклы. Среднее снижение обилия возбудителей фузариозов при двукратной обработке относительно необработанного контроля составило 2,06 раза для корнеплодов и 3,53 раза для почвы. Двукратная обработка биопрепаратом чаще приводила к прибавке урожая сахарной свёклы. Прибавка была различной и достигала 16,6 %, среднее значение на основании всех данных составило 5,9 %. Повышение урожайности сахарной свёклы в проведённых опытах, вероятно, обусловлено снижением инфекционной нагрузки и, как следствие, более длительным периодом вегетации, а также работой генов индукции роста растений у бактерий, входящих в состав биопрепарата «Code of Balance F1».
description: The article presents the results of field experiments in different agricultural enterprises of Krasnodar region to estimate the effect of biopreparation «Code of Balance F1» on the occurrence Fusarium fungi in the soil and roots of sugar beet, as well as the effect of different treatments on the yield and digestion parameters of sugar beet. The average Fusarium abundance with double treatment was 2.06 times lower for roots and 3.53 times lower for the soil compared to untreated control. Double treatment with biopreparation often resulted in sugar beet yield increase. The increase was different and reached 16.6 %, the average increase in yield based on all data was 5.9 %. Increased yield of sugar beet in the experiments is probably due to reduced infection load, and therefore, a longer growing season, as well as the influence of plant growth induction genes in bacteria included in the biopreparation «Code of Balance F1».

description: The main goal of this research is to verify the activity state of landslides provided by an existing landslide inventory map using Persistent Scatterers (PS) Interferometry (PSInSAR). The study was conducted in the Małopolskie municipality, a rural setting with sparse urbanization in the Polish Flysch Carpathians. PSInSAR has been applied using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from ALOS PALSAR and Sentinel 1A/B with different acquisition geometries (ascending and descending orbit) to increase PS coverage and mitigate the geometric effects due to layover and shadowing. The Line-Of-Sight PSInSAR measurements were projected to the steepest slope, which allowed to homogenize the results from diverse acquisition modes and to compare the displacement velocities with different slope orientations. Additionally, landslide intensity (motion rate) and expected damage maps were generated and verified during field investigations. A high correlation between PSInSAR results and in-situ damage observations was confirmed. The activity state and landslide-related expected damage maps have been confirmed for 43 out of a total of 50 landslides investigated in the field. The short temporal baseline provided by both Sentinel satellites (1A/B data) increases the PS density significantly. The study substantiates the usefulness of SAR based landslide activity monitoring for land use and land development, even in rural areas.

description: Famously, a $d$-dimensional, spatially homogeneous random walk whose increments are non-degenerate, have finite second moments, and have zero mean is recurrent if $d \in \{1,2\}$ but transient if $d \geq 3$. Once spatial homogeneity is relaxed, this is no longer true. We study a family of zero-drift spatially non-homogeneous random walks (Markov processes) whose increment covariance matrix is asymptotically constant along rays from the origin, and which, in any ambient dimension $d \geq 2$, can be adjusted so that the walk is either transient or recurrent. Natural examples are provided by random walks whose increments are supported on ellipsoids that are symmetric about the ray from the origin through the walk's current position; these \emph{elliptic random walks} generalize the classical homogeneous Pearson--Rayleigh walk (the spherical case). Our proof of the recurrence classification is based on fundamental work of Lamperti.
