description: We study the evolution of an evaporating rotating black hole, described by the Kerr metric, which is emitting either solely massless scalar particles or a mixture of massless scalar and nonzero spin particles. Allowing the hole to radiate scalar particles increases the mass loss rate and decreases the angular momentum loss rate relative to a black hole which is radiating nonzero spin particles. The presence of scalar radiation can cause the evaporating hole to asymptotically approach a state which is described by a nonzero value of $a_* \equiv a / M$. This is contrary to the conventional view of black hole evaporation, wherein all black holes spin down more rapidly than they lose mass. A hole emitting solely scalar radiation will approach a final asymptotic state described by $a_* \simeq 0.555$. A black hole that is emitting scalar particles and a canonical set of nonzero spin particles (3 species of neutrinos, a single photon species, and a single graviton species) will asymptotically approach a nonzero value of $a_*$ only if there are at least 32 massless scalar fields. We also calculate the lifetime of a primordial black hole that formed with a value of the rotation parameter $a_{*}$, the minimum initial mass of a primordial black hole that is seen today with a rotation parameter $a_{*}$, and the entropy of a black hole that is emitting scalar or higher spin particles.

description: The present report describes the work carried out in the fourth project year regarding Natural Multimodal Interaction. It summarises the Deliverable D4.4: \Natural multimodal interaction nal prototype". Most eorts in year 4 are targeted towards the nal integrated system for the experiments over an extended time range. New activities and modules have been added, many already existing ones been extended, most of these additions or extensions also affecting in some way or other the multimodal interaction. The dialogue policies and the linguistic resources have been adapted accordingly. In addition, some new functionalities were at the core of human-system interaction, namely a new module for rst time use of the system, and an
 integrated Off-Activity-Talk prototype, consisting of robot self disclosure and a social talk part.
 The Episodic Memory has been extended, and interaction modules for the following activities have been added: Standalone Break & Sort, new Dance activity, the so-called Tip of the Day and the Task Suggestions, and for the Explainable AI module.
 Furthermore, support for an experiment with different interaction styles, using modulated gestures, has been added, and the VOnDA compiler and run-time system has been heavily improved. Version 2.0 of the framework has been released on GitHub. For less experienced users, a graphical editor and compiler for hierarchical state machines has been implemented and is now ready for use.
Translated Conquests: Archive, History, and Territory in Hemispheric Literatures, 1823-1854

description: “Translated Conquests” recovers the deep linkages between New World texts and territories to offer a new understanding of the relationship of literature to empire in the nineteenth-century United States. When Columbus planted a flag on a Bahamian beach, it was the notary in the background who transformed his performance of possession into legal truth; from this moment forward, Spanish empire relied on paper “instruments” to claim and administer New World territories. I reconstruct the forgotten history of how, as Spain lost its hold on these American territories in the nineteenth century, much of the material archive of its colonization project was relocated from the past seat of New World empire to the future one—the United States. While the hemispheric turn in American literary studies made it a commonplace that the nineteenth-century narrative appropriation of Spanish “discovery” and “conquest” ran parallel to the territorial appropriation of former Spanish possessions, my project reveals that these processes were materially linked through an inherited archive that authorized both truth-claims and land claims.
      Bringing methods drawn from book history to bear on hemispheric studies, “Translated Conquests” traces the circulation of these material texts—ranging from colonial titles and portolan charts to relaciones and manuscript histories—to demonstrate that their accumulation in the United States underwrote claims to hemispheric history and territory in the expansionist period between the Monroe Doctrine (1823) and the Gadsden Purchase (1854). By grounding hemispheric studies in material flows, my project offers a revised conceptual framework that situates nineteenth-century U.S. imperialism within the longue durée of an entangled Atlantic World. Novelists, historians, and translators including Washington Irving, Robert Montgomery Bird, William Hickling Prescott, and Buckingham Smith refashioned Spanish history as the prehistory of the United States, but their nationalist works emerged from a transnational network that included London antiquarian and bookdealer Obadiah Rich, Spanish scholar Martín Fernández de Navarrete, and Mexican historians Carlos María de Bustamante and José Fernando Ramírez. As they claimed newly-available sources, all of these authors entered into a centuries-old debate over how to write the history of the New World, questioning which genres and media counted as reliable evidence and what kinds of claims they authorized. My readings of how the archive both materially enables and is figured in these works offers a revised understanding of the relationship between claiming history and claiming territory in the nineteenth-century United States.

description: We introduce a new method DOLORES for learning knowledge graph embeddings that effectively captures contextual cues and dependencies among entities and relations. First, we note that short paths on knowledge graphs comprising of chains of entities and relations can encode valuable information regarding their contextual usage. We operationalize this notion by representing knowledge graphs not as a collection of triples but as a collection of entity-relation chains, and learn embeddings for entities and relations using deep neural models that capture such contextual usage. In particular, our model is based on Bi-Directional LSTMs and learn deep representations of entities and relations from constructed entity-relation chains. We show that these representations can very easily be incorporated into existing models to significantly advance the state of the art on several knowledge graph prediction tasks like link prediction, triple classification, and missing relation type prediction (in some cases by at least 9.5%).

 Material. Cranidium, Fig. 8.7 (Reed, 1917, pl. 6, fig. 9), GSI 11884; free cheek, Fig. 8.10 (Reed, pl. 6, fig. 10), GSI 11885; both specimens from the Shihtien Formation (Darriwilian) at Pupiao, western Yunnan.
 Discussion. Reed (1917, p. 41) compared this species with one from the Chasmops limestone of Norway. Reed’s illustration of the cranidium shows the usual thin, arched glabellar furrows of remopleuridids; the cast figured here taken from the mould does not show such furrows, which are therefore probably visible only on the internal mould. We assume following Reed that the free cheek belongs with the cranidium, although the eye seems to be deeper than usual, and its inner profile does not closely match that of the palpebral lobes on the cranidium. However, the latter could be transversely extended through modest distortion. The number of remopleuridid genera in China has been increased as the former Remopleurides sensu lato has been subdivided. Zhou et al. (2016) recognised Hexacopyge and Disloboaspis alongside Remopleurides itself, in the Pagoda Formation, for example. Details of the hypostome are crucial to discriminate these clades, and since that feature is lacking in Reed’s collection it must remain in open nomenclature.

description: This dissertation analyzes the education of Muslim leaders in accredited North American institutions. Currently, the only accredited programs that train Muslim leaders in the United States and Canada are Protestant Christian seminaries. Based on ethnographic research conducted at Hartford Seminary (Hartford, Connecticut), Emmanuel College of Victoria University in the University of Toronto (Toronto, Ontario), and Bayan Claremont (Claremont, California), I analyze the impact of multifaith educational models on the development of North American Muslim leaders, such as Muslim chaplains, pastors, and spiritual caregivers. I examine the various rationales provided by the institutions in question for the establishment of Muslim leadership training programs at Christian seminaries, as well as Muslim students’ justifications for studying at these institutions. Subsequently, I argue that these programs depend on multiple forms of “translation” that render members of distinct religious traditions comprehensible to one another. These multifaith programs require translations of space in order to accommodate the practical needs of members of diverse religious backgrounds, and to generate experiences of inclusivity. I also examine curricular translations, specifically focusing on translations of “the spiritual,” given the centrality of the concept within the professional field of chaplaincy. Finally, I analyze translations of debates about gender and authority in Islam into multifaith classrooms. These various negotiations make apparent that the burdens of translation are not equally shared. Within the Protestant milieus in which these Muslim leadership programs take shape, the work of Muslim students is ultimately framed and evaluated within a setting where Christianity provides the overwhelming “logic” of the field. This dissertation thus reveals the inculcation of norms of Muslim authority that align with liberal Christian values, including but not limited to: religious individualism, spirituality (versus legalism), democracy, non-hierarchical forms of authority, ecumenism, and interfaith relationship-building.

subject: Latin American literature

description: This dissertation studies modernist translation spaces in Mexico City, a city that became an important hemispheric destination during the early twentieth-century. Although some earlier examples are provided for historical context, my analysis focuses primarily on architectural and editorial spaces that emerged in the city between 1917 and the late 1930s, the decades between the final years of the Mexican Revolution—during Venustiano Carranza’s administration, following the Queretaro Constitution—and the instauration of the Partido de la Revolución Mexicana—founded by Lázaro Cárdenas in 1938.
      Modernism in Mexico City involved an international circuit of people—such as the poet Langston Hughes, the art historian Anita Brenner, the editor and anthropologist Frances Toor,  the Indian activist, and founder of the communist party in Mexico M.N. Roy, and the photographers Tina Modotti and Edward Weston—all of whom traveled to or lived in Mexico City during the 1920s and 1930s. It also involved a series of Mexican writers, artists and intellectuals—among them, the poets Gilberto Owen, Salvador Novo and Xavier Villaurrutia, the writer and intellectual Alfonso Reyes, the muralist Diego Rivera, the architects Juan O’Gorman and Juan Segura, and the painters Dr. Atl and Nahui Olin—whose translation practices were instrumental for the making of Mexican modernism. I argue that these modernist actors played a key role as cultural translators and that it was ultimately through their work that Mexico City, among other so-called peripheral modernities, found a place in the cultural and geographical map of international modernism—a place, nonetheless, which modernist studies still tend to ignore or misrepresent.
      Drawing from translation theory, architectural history, transatlantic modernism, and the spatial semiology and hermeneutics, Translation Spaces maps the places, both cultural and physical, that these international modernists occupied or, in some cases, created. The five chapters study different architectural spaces—i.e. theaters, rooftops, houses, cinemas, and apartment buildings—and combine spatial analysis and architectural history of such spaces with analysis of specific translation practices that took place in them, such as literary translation, film dubbing and subtitling in modern sound cinemas, urban photography, adaptations of architectural languages to local needs, as well as literary representations and discussions of modern spaces. Taken together as different examples of modernist translation practices, the objects of study in this dissertation map modernist Mexico City as a space in a synchronic relationship to the larger map of international modernism.

description: In “Translating Revolution in Twentieth-Century China and France,” I examine how the two countries translated each other’s revolutions during critical moments of political and cultural crisis (the 1911 Revolution, the May Fourth Movement (1919), the Cultural Revolution (1966-76), and May 1968 in France), and subsequently (or simultaneously), how that knowledge was mobilized in practice and shaped the historical contexts in which it was produced. Drawing upon a broad range of discourses including political journals, travel narratives, films and novels in French, English and Chinese, I argue that translation served as a key site of knowledge production, shaping the formulation of various political and cultural projects from constructing a Chinese national identity to articulating women’s rights to thinking about radical emancipation in an era of decolonization.
      While there have been isolated studies on the influence of the French Revolution in early twentieth-century China, and the impact of the Chinese Cultural Revolution on the development of French Maoism and French theory in the sixties, there have been few studies that examine the circulation of revolutionary ideas and practices across multiple historical moments and cultural contexts. In addition, the tendency of much current scholarship to focus exclusively on the texts of prominent French or Chinese intellectuals overlooks the vital role played by translation, and by non-elite thinkers, writers, students and migrant workers in the cross-fertilization of revolutionary discourses and practices.
      Given that potential solutions to social and political problems associated with modernity were debated through the recurring circulation of translations (and retranslations) of ideas such as “democracy”, “natural rights,” “women’s rights,” and so on, I examine: who was translating whom, and for what purposes? What specific concepts and values are privileged, and why? Taking translation and translingual contact as my point of departure, I illuminate how French and Chinese intermediaries envisioned and attempted to create a just society under fraught historical conditions.

Subjects: Social service

description: The study assessed the level of AIDS knowledge in Black families with adolescent children, and identified the cognitive-behavioral skills associated with such knowledge. The assessment focused upon general AIDS knowledge, and knowledge of transmission and prevention.

Subjects are 129 male and female household heads, currently residing in an inner-city public housing project. The housing project is located in Harlem, an urban community within New York City. Subjects were recruited through the use of flyers and periodic announcements within the housing complex.

An AIDS knowledge and Attitude Schedule was used to measure the level of AIDS knowledge in three areas, general knowledge, knowledge of AIDS transmission and knowledge of prevention. The Frequency of Self-Reinforcement Questionnaire was used to measure the extent to which respondents used self-reinforcement. The Problem-Solving Inventory was used to measure how individuals perceived themselves to have reacted to problems faced on a daily basis. The Simple Rathus Assertiveness Schedule was used to measure the assertiveness.

The respondents manifested misconceptions about how AIDS is transmitted and prevented. The respondents were less knowledgeable about AIDS when compared with a national sample of Black Americans. General AIDS knowledge and knowledge of transmission are correlated with assertiveness. Knowledge of AIDS transmission is correlated with perceived problem-solving ability. Respondent's perceived comfort in discussing AIDS and sex with their children is correlated with perceived problem-solving ability.

description: This translation of Jean Anouilh’s Antigone provides a more complete transmission of the author’s intended purpose to present the play on stage. By incorporating the historical context of World War II during which it was written, I have added more stage directions, including costumes and scenery, in order to allow the readers to easily imagine what would take place on stage if they were watching it in a theater. I have not altered Anouilh’s ideas nor have I reinterpreted his meaning. The purpose of this translation is to enhance the readers’ experience with the play so that they may analyze Anouilh’s intended message themselves.

description: The properties of dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) nearest the Sun are poorly understood because the low column densities of dust toward nearby stars induce little photometric reddening, rendering the grains largely undetectable. Stellar polarimetry offers one pathway to deducing the properties of this diffuse material. Here we present multi-wavelength aperture polarimetry measurements of seven bright stars chosen to probe interstellar polarization near the edge of the Local Hot Bubble (LHB) - an amorphous region of relatively low density interstellar gas and dust extending ~70-150 pc from the Sun. The measurements were taken using the HIgh Precision Polarimetric Instrument (HIPPI) on the 3.9-m Anglo-Australian Telescope. HIPPI is an aperture stellar polarimeter with a demonstrated sensitivity of 4.3 parts-per-million (ppm). Of the stars observed two are polarized to a much greater degree than the others; they have a wavelength of maximum polarization ($λ_{max}$) of ~550 $\pm$ 20 nm - similar to that of stars beyond the LHB - and we conclude that they are in the wall of the LHB. The remaining five stars have polarizations of ~70 to 160 ppm, of these four have a much bluer $λ_{max}$, ~350 $\pm$ 50 nm. Bluer values of $λ_{max}$ may indicate grains shocked during the evolution of the Loop I Superbubble. The remaining star, HD 4150 is not well fit by a Serkowski curve, and may be intrinsically polarized.

description: Recent detections of high-redshift absorption by both atomic hydrogen and molecular gas in the radio spectra of quasars have provided a powerful tool to measure possible temporal and spatial variations of physical `constants' in the Universe. We have compared the frequency of high-redshift Hydrogen 21 cm absorption with that of associated molecular absorption in two quasars to place new (1 sigma) upper limits on any variation in y = g_p.alpha^2 (where alpha is the fine structure constant and g_p is the proton g-factor) of |Delta(y)/y| < 5.10^{-6} at redshifts z=0.25 and z=0.68. These quasars are separated by a comoving distance of 3000 Mpc (H_0=75 km/s/Mpc and q_0=0). We also derive limits on the time rates of change of |(d.g_p/d.t)/g_p| < 10^{-15}/y and |(d.alpha/d.t)/α| < 5.10^{-16}/y between the present epoch and z=0.68. These limits are more than an order of magnitude smaller than previous results derived from high-redshift measurements.

description: A traditionally prepared Saccharomyces yeast helps to improve nutritive food qualities and health impacts. Zinc-Yeast was formulated with the aim to enhance bakery products, extend shelf-life, improve safety, and diet-support by an essential mineral (Zn). A strain NRC112 was pre-treated to evaluate Zn-support optimum conditions. The best uptake was recorded at 1623 µg/g using zinc- sulphate. For safety-production increment; Zn-yeast effect on toxigenic fungi and aflatoxins was estimated on liquid media and diffusion tests. Fino was designed for comparing the differences between Zn-yeast and the control. In comparing the result of the paste and bread; Zn-yeast was more effective in aflatoxins reduction than the control. Organoleptic and chemical properties of Fino was also investigated to explore if Zn-yeast application distinct compared to the control. The Fino manufacturing by Zn-yeast was not significantly different from control. The sensory evaluation results were so close in the two types. Zn-yeast confers Fino fungal resisting properties and long shelf-life.

Illaenids are difficult to characterize even with the benefit of complete specimens, and almost impossible to determine from cranidia without other sclerites. Reed mostly compared his material with species known from the Russian platform, but there are few critical characters, and these specimens are figured here for the sake of completeness. The species in question are Illaenus aff. schmidti , I. cf. esmarki and I. aff. caecoides from the Shihtien Formation, Yunnan, and I. aff. portlocki from Hwe-Mawng, northern Shan State.

In line with national and global commitments to climate action, advancing carbon capture and conversion technologies is mission-critical to sustainably reducing emissions and achieving a net-zero future. In this context, a recent study by Yuan-Biao Huang and co-workers has introduced a disruptive material—a prototypical covalent organic framework (COF)-based smart porous liquid (PL), COF-301-PL, that merges the benefits of solid COFs and liquid materials, enabling efficient CO2 capture and heterogeneous catalysis [1].

description: The integrated spectra of stellar systems contain a wealth of information, and its analysis can reveal fundamental parameters such as metallicity, age and star formation history. Widely used methods to analyze these spectra are based on comparing the galaxy spectra to stellar population (SP) models. Despite being a powerful tool, SP models contain many ingredients, each with their assumptions and uncertainties. Among the several possible sources of uncertainties, it is not straightforward to identify which ingredient dominates the errors in the models. In this work we propose a study of one of the SP model ingredients -- the spectral stellar libraries -- independently of the other ingredients. To that aim, we will use the integrated spectra of globular clusters which have color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) available. From these CMDs it is possible to model the integrated spectra of these objects without having to adopt -- or make assumptions -- on the other two main ingredients of SP models, evolutionary tracks or an IMF. Here we tested four widely used stellar libraries. We found that the libraries are able to reproduce the integrated spectra of 18 of the 30 cluster spectra inside a mean flux uncertainty of 5%. For the larger wavelength range tested, a theoretical library outperforms the empirical ones in the comparison. Without the blue part of the spectra, empirical libraries fare better than the theoretical, in particular when individual features are concerned. However, the results are promising for theoretical libraries, which are equally efficient to reproduce the whole spectrum.

description: The Ewald3D sum with the tinfoil boundary condition (e3dtf) evaluates the electrostatic energy of a finite unit cell inside an infinitely periodic supercell. Although it has been used as a {\it de facto} standard treatment of electrostatics for simulations of extended polar or charged interfaces, the finite-size effect on simulated properties has yet to be fully understood. There is, however, an intuitive way to quantify the average effect arising from the difference between the e3dtf and Coulomb potentials on the response of mobile charges to contact surfaces with fixed charges and/or to an applied external electric field. While any charged interface formed by mobile countercharges that compensate the fixed charges slips upon the change of the acting electric field, the distance between a pair of oppositely charged interfaces is found to be nearly stationary, which allows an analytic finite-size correction to the amount of countercharges. Application of the theory to solvated electric double layers (insulator/electrolyte interfaces) predicts that the state of complete charge compensation is invariant with respect to solvent permittivities, which is confirmed by a proper analysis of simulation data in the literature.

description: We show that a cyclic unitary process can extract work from the thermodynamic equilibrium state of an engineered quantum dissipative process. Systems in the equilibrium states of these processes serve as batteries, storing energy. The dissipative process that brings the battery to the active equilibrium state is driven by an agent that couples the battery to thermal systems. The second law of thermodynamics imposes a work cost for the process; however, no work is needed to keep the battery in that charged state. We consider simple examples of these batteries and discuss particular cases in which the extracted work or the efficiency of the process is maximal.

Evaluation of energy performance of LEED building (Friedman) at UBC : technical report
Creators: name: Logawa, Banda
name: Kourkoulis, Ioannis
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Recent studies conducted by New Buildings Institute have shown that there were gaps between modeled and actual performance of numerous LEED Buildings. This study was conducted to investigate this phenomenon in one of LEED Buildings in University of British Columbia, try to identify possible sources of discrepancies, and establish guidelines to repeat similar investigations on other buildings. Based on the recommendations of the project client, Friedman Building was chosen in the study. To achieve the project objectives, several efforts were made such as analyzing annual and monthly energy consumption data, comparing LEED drawings and as-built drawings, comparing the occupancy pattern in the building, and conducting interviews with the program administrators. There were several sources of discrepancies identified in the study: changes in energy demand throughout the year, changes in design before and after submission of LEED Application, inaccurate plug load assumptions, and building envelope degradation.

description: This project analyzes how oyster aquaculture affects submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) structure in Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay using spatial modeling, seascape ecology, and multi-decadal GIS data to assess habitat fragmentation, connectivity, and potential for ecosystem coexistence.
description: Oyster aquaculture and submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) are both critical components of coastal ecosystem function, yet their spatial and ecological interactions remain poorly understood at landscape scales. This study presents a multi-decadal, spatially explicit analysis of SAV structure in relation to oyster aquaculture leases in Maryland’s mid-Chesapeake Bay. Using GIS-based modeling and statistical approaches including generalized additive models, factorial linear models within a BACI (Before–After Control–Impact) design and Bayesian hierarchical modeling, I tested three hypotheses related to temporal alterations in SAV structure, the influence of lease proximity and the role of lease configuration. My findings reveal that while SAV area has increased over time, fragmentation and patch isolation have also intensified, particularly on the Eastern Shore, suggesting potential declines in ecosystem resilience. Surprisingly, SAV patches near active oyster leases exhibited greater cohesion and complexity post-activation in several cases, challenging the assumption that aquaculture infrastructure inherently degrades seagrass habitats. Lease configuration variables, including cage density and alignment, had weak and inconsistent effects compared to broader site-level environmental conditions. These results emphasize the need for long-term, spatially explicit monitoring and suggest that aquaculture and habitat restoration goals may be compatible under certain environmental contexts. Adaptive permitting frameworks that account for local biophysical settings, rather than rigid exclusion zones, may better support both sustainable aquaculture development and coastal ecosystem recovery.
Time-dependent Darboux (supersymmetric) transformations for non-Hermitian quantum systems

description: We propose time-dependent Darboux (supersymmetric) transformations that provide a scheme for the calculation of explicitly time-dependent solvable non-Hermitian partner Hamiltonians. Together with two Hermitian Hamilitonians the latter form a quadruple of Hamiltonians that are related by two time-dependent Dyson equations and two intertwining relations in form of a commutative diagram. Our construction is extended to the entire hierarchy of Hamiltonians obtained from time dependent Darboux-Crum transformations. As an alternative approach we also discuss the intertwining relations for Lewis-Riesenfeld invariants for Hermitian as well as non-Hermitian Hamiltonians that reduce the time-dependent equations to auxiliary eigenvalue equations. The working of our proposals is discussed for a hierarchy of explicitly time-dependent rational, hyperbolic, Airy function and nonlocal potentials.

description: We study the coupled charge-lattice dynamics in the commensurate charge density wave (CDW) phase of the layered compound 1T-TaS$_{2}$ driven by an ultrashort laser pulse. For describing its electronic structure, we employ a tight-binding model of previous studies including the effects of lattice distortion associated with the CDW order. We further add on-site Coulomb interactions and reproduce an energy gap at the Fermi level within a mean-field analysis. On the basis of coupled equations of motion for electrons and the lattice distortion, we numerically study their dynamics driven by an ultrashort laser pulse. We find that the CDW order decreases and even disappears during the laser irradiation while the lattice distortion is almost frozen. We also find that the lattice motion sets in on a longer time scale and causes a further decrease in the CDW order even after the laser irradiation.

High density lipoprotein (HDL) lymphatic trafficking and its application for vaccine delivery

Subjects: subject: 111504 Pharmaceutical Sciences
subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: The lymphatic system transports fats in the form of lipoproteins and also generates immunity in response to vaccines. Lymphatic function has important roles in the progression of cardio-metabolic diseases including atherosclerosis which is a global leading cause of death. HDL was found to return cholesterol from tissue to plasma via transit through lymph, such that lymphatic function appears crucial for cholesterol removal from tissue deposits e.g. artery walls. This thesis presents novel findings on HDL biology, transport and modification in the lymphatics and its potential application as a carrier to improve the delivery and effectiveness of vaccines.

description: Improving end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) in existing network systems is a fundamental problem, as it can be affected by many factors, including congestion, packet scheduling, attacks, and air-time allocation. This dissertation addresses QoS in two critical environments: home WiFi and cloud networks. In home networks, we focus on improving QoS over WiFi networks, the dominant means for home Internet access. Three major reasons for end-to-end QoS efforts fail in WiFi networks are its: 1) inherent wireless channel characteristics, 2) approach to access control of the shared broadcast channel, and 3) impact on transport layer protocols, such as TCP, that operate end-to-end, and over-react to the loss or delay caused by the single WiFi link. We present our cross-layer design, Virtual Wire, leveraging the philosophy of centralization in modern networking to address the problem at the point of entry/egress into the WiFi network. Based on network conditions measured from buffer sizes, airtime, and throughput, flows are scheduled to the optimal utility. Unlike most existing WiFi QoS approaches, our design only relies on transparent modifications, requiring no changes to the network (including link layer) protocols, applications, or user intervention. Through extensive experimental investigation, we show that our design significantly enhances the reliability and predictability of WiFi performance, providing a ``virtual wire''-like link to the targeted application. In cloud networks, we explore mechanisms to improve availability during DDoS attacks. The availability of cloud servers is impacted when excessive loads induced by DDoS attacks cause the servers to crash or respond too slowly to legitimate session requests. We model and analyze the effectiveness of a shuffling mechanism: the periodic, randomized re-assignment of users to servers. This shuffling mechanism not only complicates malicious users’ abilities to target specific servers but also, over time, allows a system to identify who the malicious users are. We design and evaluate improved classifiers which can, with statistical accuracy and well-defined levels of confidence, identify malicious users. We also propose and explore the effectiveness of a two-tiered system in which servers are partitioned in two, where one partition serves only ”filtered” users who have demonstrated non-malicious behavior. Our results show how shuffling with these novel classifiers can improve the QoS of the system, which is evaluated by the survival probability, the probability of a legitimate session not being affected by attacks.
