description: Massive machine-type communication (mMTC) is a newly introduced service category in 5G wireless communication systems to support a variety of Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. In recovering sparsely represented multi-user vectors, compressed sensing based multi-user detection (CS-MUD) can be used. CS-MUD is a feasible solution to the grant-free uplink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) environments. In CS-MUD, active user detection (AUD) and channel estimation (CE) should be performed before data detection. In this paper, we propose the expectation propagation based joint AUD and CE (EP-AUD/CE) technique for mMTC networks. The expectation propagation (EP) algorithm is a Bayesian framework that approximates a computationally intractable probability distribution to an easily tractable distribution. The proposed technique finds the best approximation of the posterior distribution of the sparse channel vector. Using the approximate distribution, AUD and CE are jointly performed. We show by numerical simulations that the proposed technique substantially enhances AUD and CE performances over competing algorithms.

description: The presence of ultra-high excitation (UHE) absorption lines (e.g., O VIII) in the optical spectra of several of the hottest white dwarfs poses a decades-long mystery and is something that has never been observed in any other astrophysical object. The occurrence of such features requires a dense environment with temperatures near $10^6$K, by far exceeding the stellar effective temperature. Here we report the discovery of a new hot wind white dwarf, GALEXJ014636.8+323615. Astonishingly, we found for the first time rapid changes of the equivalent widths of the UHE features, which are correlated to the rotational period of the star ($P=0.242035$d). We explain this with the presence of a wind-fed circumstellar magnetosphere in which magnetically confined wind shocks heat up the material to the high temperatures required for the creation of the UHE lines. The photometric and spectroscopic variability of GALEXJ014636.8+323615 can then be understood as consequence of the obliquity of the magnetic axis with respect to the rotation axis of the white dwarf. This is the first time a wind-fed circumstellar magnetosphere around an apparently isolated white dwarf has been discovered and finally offers a plausible explanation of the ultra hot wind phenomenon.

description: Collapse of the polypeptide backbone is an integral part of protein folding. Using polyglycine as a probe, we explore the nonequilibrium pathways of protein collapse in water. We find that the collapse depends on the competition between hydration effects and intra-peptide interactions. Once intra-peptide van der Waal interactions dominate, the chain collapses along a nonequilibrium pathway characterized by formation of pearl-necklace-like local clusters as intermediates that eventually coagulate into a single globule. By describing this coarsening through the contact probability as a function of distance along the chain, we extract a time-dependent length scale that grows in linear fashion. The collapse dynamics is characterized by a dynamical critical exponent $z=0.5$ that is much smaller than the values of $z=1-2$ reported for non-biological polymers. This difference in the exponents is explained by the instantaneous formation of intra-chain hydrogen bonds and local ordering that may be correlated with the observed fast folding times in proteins.

description: Skin cancer is by far the most common type of cancer. Early detection is the key to increase the chances for successful treatment significantly. Currently, Deep Neural Networks are the state-of-the-art results on automated skin cancer classification. To push the results further, we need to address the lack of annotated data, which is expensive and require much effort from specialists. To bypass this problem, we propose using Generative Adversarial Networks for generating realistic synthetic skin lesion images. To the best of our knowledge, our results are the first to show visually-appealing synthetic images that comprise clinically-meaningful information.

Einstein-Cartan-Heisenberg Theory of Gravity with Dynamical Torsion

description: On the basis of an algebraic relation between torsion and a classical spinor field a new interpretation of Einstein-Cartan gravity interacting with classical spinor field is proposed. In this approach the spinor field becomes an auxiliary field and the dynamical equation for this field (the Heisenberg equation) is a dynamical, gravitational equation for torsion. The simplest version of this theory is examined where the metric degrees of freedom are frozen and only torsion plays a role. A spherically symmetric solution of this theory is examined. This solution can be interpreted, in the spirit of Wheeler's ideas of ``charge without charge'' and ``mass without mass'', as a geometrical model for an uncharged and massless particle with spin (``spin without spin'').

description: The southeastern United States is a region that enjoys a competitive advantage in beef production due to its favorable environmental conditions (Lacy et al., 2005). Abundant rainfall and forage availability, along with a temperate climate, create conditions that are conducive to beef cattle production. Southeastern cattle producers generally receive a discount for their beef calves because of the additional freight costs and morbidity and mortality costs associated with long shipping distances to cattle feeding states (Rhinehart and Poore, 2013). Because of this, stockering beef calves (generally defined as the intermediate step between the cow-calf phase and the feed-lot finishing phase of beef production) is often touted as a way to increase ranch income and add value to southeastern beef cattle (Lacy, 2004).

description: While modern theories of emotion emphasize the role of higher-order cognitive processes such as semantics in human emotion, much research into emotional learning has ignored the potential contributions of such processes. This study aimed to determine whether emotional learning affects semantic representations of words independent of perceptual features by assessing whether fear conditioning to a neutral word generalises across languages in bilingual participants. Two sessions differing according to the reinforced language were performed by English-Spanish bilinguals. In each session, a neutral word was reinforced by an electrical shock whereas its equivalent in the other language was never paired with shock. Across two sessions within our sample, we found replicable evidence that fear conditioning consistently transferred to the non-reinforced language as measured by both self-reported fear and electrodermal activity, irrespective of the conditioned language. Our findings extend knowledge about the role of semantic similarity in fear generalisation and highlight the importance of higher-order cognitive processes in human emotions.

description: Magnetic flux ropes with helical field lines and strong core field are ubiquitous structures in space plasmas. Recently, kinetic-scale flux ropes have been identified by high-resolution observations from Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft in the magnetosheath, which have drawn a lot of attention because of their non-ideal behavior and internal structures. Detailed investigation of flux rope structure and dynamics requires development of realistic kinetic models. In this paper, we generalize an equilibrium model to reconstruct a kinetic-scale flux rope previously reported via MMS observations. The key features in the magnetic field and electron pitch-angle distribution measurements of all four satellites are simultaneously reproduced in this reconstruction. Besides validating the model, our results also indicate that the anisotropic features previously attributed to asymmetric magnetic topologies in the magnetosheath can be alternatively explained by the spacecraft motion in the flux rope rest frame.

description: We consider the singular phases of the smooth finite-gap integrable systems arising in the context of Seiberg-Witten theory. These degenerate limits correspond to the weak and strong coupling regimes of SUSY gauge theories. The spectral curves in such limits acquire simpler forms: in most cases they become rational, and the corresponding expressions for coupling constants and superpotentials can be computed explicitly. We verify that in accordance with the computations from quantum field theory, the weak-coupling limit gives rise to precisely the "trigonometric" family of Calogero-Moser and open Toda models, while the strong-coupling limit corresponds to the solitonic degenerations of the finite-gap solutions. The formulae arising provide some new insights into the corresponding phenomena in SUSY gauge theories. Some open conjectures have been proven.

description: The Clinical School Model is a unique feature of undergraduate nurse education at La Trobe University. After 20 years of operation, little is known about the value of this model for students, staff, the university, and clinical partners. This paper presents a study that is currently taking place to investigate the impact of the clinical school model on nursing students’ learning, graduate nurses’ practice readiness, and to explore clinical stakeholders and academic staff’s perspectives. This study uses a descriptive exploratory study with a multi-method approach; combining quantitative surveys and qualitative descriptive exploratory phases, each involving a different group of participants. Quantitative surveys will be anonymous. Qualitative data collection will be done by individual semi-structured interviews and focus groups. The findings of this project will help fill a gap in the nursing literature on the outcomes of a nursing clinical school partnership, education and research model. The findings of this project will play an important role in clarifying a way forward for universities and health service agencies to work as partners in the enterprise of nurse education and nursing practice.

description: Рецензирование считается краеугольным камнем научных журналов и научной коммуникации, обеспечивая качество и достоверность публикуемых исследований. Однако, хотя научные журналы существуют уже более трех столетий, рецензирование стало институционализированной практикой лишь в середине XX века. При этом к началу XXI века возникли опасения, что традиционная модель рецензирования переживает значительный кризис. В докладе представлена эволюция рецензирования, проанализированы факторы, способствующие его текущим проблемам, а также предложены инновационные подходы для оживления этого критически важного процесса. Проведен сравнительный анализ трех основных моделей рецензирования: традиционная предпубликационная модель рецензирования, фрагментированная публикация и постпубликационное рецензирование (модель "публикуй-рецензируй-курируй". Переосмысливая процесс рецензирования, данный доклад стремится внести вклад в продолжающиеся дебаты о повышении целостности и эффективности научных публикаций.

description: This paper presents the study on the characterization of glass electrodes, which are one of the main components of detectors like Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs). The RPCs are being used in various ongoing High Energy Physics experiments, e.g., BELLE at KEK, CMS at LHC, and would be used in the near future experiments e.g., INO-ICAL in India. The characterization of glass electrodes has been done to understand the factors like quality of glass that can help in improving the detector's performance. The glass samples chosen were procured locally Asahi (A), Saint Gobain (S), Modi (M) that are easily available in Indian industry. The characterization includes the tests to study the optical, surface, physical, electrical properties, the composition of glass samples, and leakage currents. This paper adds new information to the existing body of research on the subject. Based on the techniques discussed in the paper a comparison of the measurements among the three different types of glass electrodes has been done. This study helps us to determine the best quality of glass that can be chosen for better operation of the detectors.

description: Massive scalar particle production, due to the anisotropic evolution of a five-dimensional spacetime, is considered in the context of a quadratic Lagrangian theory of gravity. Those particles, corresponding to field modes with non-vanishing momentum component along the fifth dimension, are created mostly in the neighbourhood of a singular epoch where only their high-frequency behaviour is of considerable importance. At the 1-loop approximation level, general renormalizability conditions on the physical quantities relevant to particle production are derived and discussed. Exact solutions of the resulting Klein-Gordon field equation are obtained and the mass-energy spectrum attributed to the scalar field due to the cosmological evolution is being investigated further. Finally, analytic expressions regarding the number and the energy density of the created particles at late times, are also derived and discussed.

description: Symmetries are ubiquitous in network systems and have profound impacts on the observable dynamics. At the most fundamental level, many synchronization patterns are induced by underlying network symmetry, and a high degree of symmetry is believed to enhance the stability of identical synchronization. Yet, here we show that the synchronizability of almost any symmetry cluster in a network of identical nodes can be enhanced precisely by breaking its structural symmetry. This counterintuitive effect holds for generic node dynamics and arbitrary network structure and is, moreover, robust against noise and imperfections typical of real systems, which we demonstrate by implementing a state-of-the-art optoelectronic experiment. These results lead to new possibilities for the topological control of synchronization patterns, which we substantiate by presenting an algorithm that optimizes the structure of individual clusters under various constraints.

description: Biometrics always uses the genetic characteristics of a human being to verify a person. Since this approach is popular and not the standard approach of validating a particular person likes, password, etc., it has successfully triggered much of attention. Biometrics is usually dependent on distinguishing signs characteristics of a person by face, iris, voice signature, and this pattern to ensure that each person has a unique and accurate pattern. Biometrics help the person’s identity remains remembered and not be duplicated or exchanged in comparison with the standard approach of key and password. Because of the high level of security and ease of use, biometric technology is preferred over the standard approach. These systems, which authenticate a person using ﬁngerprint, iris, face, etc. are available in the market and are used in sensitive systems such as ATMs and access controls. Indeed, attackers keep on inventing new techniques to break through the validation process of biometric systems. They have recently used anonymous fake biometric signs for self-validation and have successfully hacked through these systems. For instance, hackers have used a photo of their targeted person and tried to deceive the authentication security systems. In this research, we propose a new validation technique that provides a higher level of security compared to traditional methods. This new technique focuses on using the human body as a source for multiple factors authentication solutions to hinder threats of system breakthroughs. We used multiple datasets to test our contribution and the acquired outcomes were high accuracy. We succeeded to recognize real biometric traits from fake ones which added value to our contribution. Besides, we conducted case studies applications in security systems based on our research. The results of these applications led us to innovations in these security systems and awarded patents due to the added enhancements and novelty.

Using Machine Learning Techniques to Detect Malicious URLs for Mobile User

Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 40
subject: Engineering

description: The use of malicious URLs to exploit websites for the execution of criminal activities is a growing cybersecurity issue in contemporary cyber-space. Malicious URL developers aim to lure unsuspecting victims into scams or fraudulent activities. In most cases, the motive is for financial gain. Over the past years, these criminal activities have led to the loss of billions of dollars or the destruction of devices. Most often, internet users have employed traditional techniques to detect malicious URLs. However, due to the new technological advancements, the conventional methods of detection have been rendered ineffective increasing their susceptibility to an online scam. As a result, telecommunication engineers and website developers have continued to invest in research and development for advanced techniques that can overcome the vulnerability of traditional mechanisms. Notably, the use of anti-malicious software to caution online presence against exploitative and malicious URLs has proved ineffective against malicious injections. This is attributed to the increasing complexity of cyberattacks and cybercrimes. However, the adoption of different and advanced machine learning techniques that are strategically dynamic is increasingly proving effective to counter online criminal endeavors executed through malicious URLs. A mobile application is developed and has utilized machine learning to detect malicious URLs using logistic regression to predict good and bad URLs.

description: We report local roughness exponents, $α_{\text{loc}}$, for three interface growth models in one dimension which are believed to belong the non-linear molecular-beam-epitaxy (nMBE) universality class represented by the Villain-Lais-Das Sarma (VLDS) stochastic equation. We applied an optimum detrended fluctuation analysis (ODFA) [Luis et al., Phys. Rev. E 95, 042801 (2017)] and compared the outcomes with standard detrending methods. We observe in all investigated models that ODFA outperforms the standard methods providing exponents in the narrow interval $α_{\text{loc}}\in[0.96,0.98]$ consistent with renormalization group predictions for the VLDS equation. In particular, these exponent values are calculated for the Clarke-Vvdensky and Das Sarma-Tamborenea models characterized by very strong corrections to the scaling, for which large deviations of these values had been reported. Our results strongly support the absence of anomalous scaling in the nMBE universality class and the existence of corrections in the form $α_{\text{loc}}=1-ε$ of the one-loop renormalization group analysis of the VLDS equation.

description: Internet of Things (IoT) is a collection of devices, sensors, computers, machines, etc. connected using different communication links such as wired and wireless to produce large set of data. These data are used for many user-based applications such as sensor network, cloud computing, edge computing, distributed computing, VANET, AI, robotics, banking, transportation, computer vision, image processing, IDS, security, etc. For analysis of this data to generate or predict patterns, trends, events, etc. machine learning (ML) plays an important role to study the behaviour of data and process it for providing on demand services to the users. ML is a branch of AI which takes the input data, process it as per the algorithms and application, and provides output. ML algorithms are mainly divided into supervised, unsupervised and hybrid models. The ML techniques are extended to now deep learning (DL) approaches also to extend the input size and hardware configuration, and process in an optimized manner. In this work, we have mainly focused in solving five different problems in IoT network with the help of ML. These problems are human activity recognition, device identification, rice field leaf disease detection, driver behaviour monitoring, and DDoS Botnet attack identification. So, we have studied some applications of machine learning algorithms and applied it over these problems to solve the problems. At last, for validation of the work, simulations are performed and analysis is done.

description: In the early 90’s Qatar was a small state in the Gulf peninsula, in less than two decades it has gone through remarkable transformation to emerge on the international landscape as an influential power in the MENA region peacemaking. This thesis aimed at evaluating the government of Qatar (GoQ) work in achieving peace and security through implementing effective aid to conflict-affected countries. Using a detailed fragility assessment of Lebanon and Sudan the thesis will assess the effectiveness of Qatar’s intervention. This thesis asserts that Qatar were able to bring conflicting parties to a settlement over the immediate causes of the crisis. However, it failed to achieve a sustainable peace and security.
Challenges and best practices when designing a mobile application for the ELIPSS panel

description: Launched in 2012, ELIPSS (Longitudinal Internet Studies for Social Sciences) is the first French online representative panel dedicated to the social sciences research community. Each panel member is provided with a touch screen tablet and a 4G connection. The project has now hit its stride with around 2500 panel members and 70 surveys conducted so far. The Center for Socio-Political Data (CDSP) is responsible for the implementation of this project within the DIME-SHS (Data, infrastructures and survey methods in the humanities and social sciences) consortium. The CDSP IT team designs the software tools that collect data and paradata from the ELIPSS panel. These tools range from web services facilitating fieldwork management to a tailor-made Android application for collecting data directly from devices. First, designing an Android application collecting data for research purposes represents a real challenge. Very few guidelines are publicly available except for designing market-oriented mobile applications. Second, for the ELIPSS project, conflicting objectives have to be reconciled. One survey is fielded monthly and tight deadline are regularly to be met. This presentation will provide a concrete view of the design process of a mobile application for data and paradata collection from an online panel. We’ll also provide a feedback on how to collaborate with a device manufacturer, how to deal with confidentiality concerns in data and paradata collection, how to address ergonomy issues when designing questionnaires, and generally how to address complex research questions.
Conformal ``thin sandwich'' data for the initial-value problem of general relativity
Creators: name: York,, James W.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The initial-value problem is posed by giving a conformal three-metric on each of two nearby spacelike hypersurfaces, their proper-time separation up to a multiplier to be determined, and the mean (extrinsic) curvature of one slice. The resulting equations have the {\it same} elliptic form as does the one-hypersurface formulation. The metrical roots of this form are revealed by a conformal ``thin sandwich'' viewpoint coupled with the transformation properties of the lapse function.

Schultze, 1834 aus der Umgebung von Freiburg im Breisgau beginnt die Wissenschaft von den Tardigraden. Sie sind in ihrer Umwelt häufigen Veränderungen des Mikroklimas ausgesetzt, die ihr Überleben direkt beeinflussen. So können sie lange Zeiträume im Zustand der Kryptobiose überdauern. Die zugrundeliegenden Mechanismen dafür sind noch weitgehend unklar. Weltweit sind inzwischen etwa 1.200 terrestrische, limnische und marine Arten bekannt; in Deutschland sind es etwa 110 Arten. Für Baden-Württemberg wurde jetzt erstmals eine Artenliste zusammengestellt, die 76 Tardigradenarten in 29 Gattungen umfasst.

description: All existing optical quantum walk approaches are based on the use of beamsplitters and multiple paths to explore the multitude of unitary transformations of quantum amplitudes in a Hilbert space. The beamsplitter is naturally a directionally biased device: the photon cannot travel in reverse direction. This causes rapid increases in optical hardware resources required for complex quantum walk applications, since the number of options for the walking particle grows with each step. Here we present the experimental demonstration of a directionally-unbiased linear-optical multiport, which allows reversibility of photon direction. An amplitude-controllable probability distribution matrix for a unitary three-edge vertex is reconstructed with only linear-optical devices. Such directionally-unbiased multiports allow direct execution of quantum walks over a multitude of complex graphs and in tensor networks. This approach would enable simulation of complex Hamiltonians of physical systems and quantum walk applications in a more efficient and compact setup, substantially reducing the required hardware resources.

description: In response to concern about the effects of advertising on carbonated soft drink (CSD) consumption, the two largest manufacturers began voluntary self-regulation of their advertisements to children under the age of 12. We estimate the demand for CSDs in the United States over 15 markets using a large, detailed household level data set. We test to see if the advertising restriction had any immediate impact on CSD purchases. Contrary to expectations, we find that purchases increase for several of the CSD brands. This can be explained to some extent by a reduction in prices, however there are likely marketing factors not observed in our analysis that impact purchases as well. While these advertising restrictions do not appear to reduce purchases, there may be other long term benefits associated with reducing children’s exposure to advertising to unhealthy food products.

description: The equation of state and phase diagram of isospin-symmetric chemically equilibrated mixture of alpha particles and nucleons are studied in the mean-field approximation. The model takes into account the effects of Fermi and Bose statistics for nucleons and alphas, respectively. We use Skyrme-like parametrization of the mean-field potentials as functions of partial densities, which contain both attractive and repulsive terms. Parameters of these potentials are chosen by fitting known properties of pure nucleon- and pure alpha matter at zero temperature. The sensitivity of results to the choice of the alpha-nucleon attraction strength is investigated. The phase diagram of the alpha-nucleon mixture is studied with a special attention paid to the liquid-gas phase transitions and the Bose-Einstein condensation of alpha particles. We have found two first-order phase transitions, stable and metastable, which differ significantly by the fractions of alpha particles. It is shown that states with alpha condensate are metastable.
