description: We present nearly six years of measurements of surface fluxes of momentum, sensible heat, water vapour, carbon dioxide and aerosol particles, along with a three-month time series of ozone flux, measured by eddy covariance above a Scots pine forest in southern Finland from April 1996 to December 2001. The results show marked seasonal and diurnal variation and a significant effect of local and remote anthropogenic pollution on CO2 and particle data. The flux of inert CO2 followed environmental factors through plant and soil-microbe metabolism very closely. The flux of reactive O3 depended on the overlapping influences of environmental parameters driving photosynthesis and of the available amount of reaction partners. The flux of multireactive aerosol particles showed no clear connection with any environmental variable. On new-particle-formation days, the average deposition velocity of particles was, however, greater than usual because small nucleation-mode particles have greater deposition velocities than do larger accumulation-mode particles.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This study was carried out to examine gendered differences in White American adults’ explanations for racial inequity in unemployment rates. Respondents were randomly assigned to be presented with one of three research briefs in which unemployment rate inequity was framed as either the difference between Black people and White people (Control group), Black men and White men, or Black women and White women. A total of 3,638 respondents participated. Respondents were asked to indicate how much of the inequity between the two racial groups was explained by individualist explanations (i.e., lack in-born ability to learn; lack of motivation or willpower) and structuralist explanations (i.e., discrimination; lack access to education). This allowed for comparison of racial attitudes of White men and White women toward Black men, Black women, and gender-neutral Black racial group.

description: We report on the detailed characterization of the HD 77946 planetary system. HD 77946 is an F5 ($M_*$ = 1.17 M$_{\odot}$, $R_*$ = 1.31 R$_{\odot}$) star, which hosts a transiting planet recently discovered by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), classified as TOI-1778 b. Using TESS photometry, high-resolution spectroscopic data from HARPS-N, and photometry from CHEOPS, we measure the radius and mass from the transit and RV observations, and find that the planet, HD 77946 b, orbits with period $P_{\rm b}$ = $6.527282_{-0.000020}^{+0.000015}$ d, has a mass of $M_{\rm b} = 8.38\pm{1.32}$M$_\oplus$, and a radius of $R_{\rm b} = 2.705_{-0.081}^{+0.086}$R$_\oplus$. From the combination of mass and radius measurements, and the stellar chemical composition, the planet properties suggest that HD 77946 b is a sub-Neptune with a $\sim$1\% H/He atmosphere. However, a degeneracy still exists between water-world and silicate/iron-hydrogen models, and even though interior structure modelling of this planet favours a sub-Neptune with a H/He layer that makes up a significant fraction of its radius, a water-world composition cannot be ruled out, as with $T_{\rm eq} = 1248^{+40}_{-38}~$K, water may be in a supercritical state. The characterisation of HD 77946 b, adding to the small sample of well-characterised sub-Neptunes, is an important step forwards on our journey to understanding planetary formation and evolution pathways. Furthermore, HD 77946 b has one of the highest transmission spectroscopic metrics for small planets orbiting hot stars, thus transmission spectroscopy of this key planet could prove vital for constraining the compositional confusion that currently surrounds small exoplanets.

description: Trace gas concentrations have been measured at Sevettijärvi in Finnish Lapland from 8 January 1992 to 10 July 2002. The maximum hourly SO2 concentrations decreased from around 500 ug m–3 in the first two years of the monitoring to 200–300 ug m–3 in the mid 1990s. The annual average SO2 concentrations decreased from about 5 ug m–3 to 3–4 ug m–3 during the same period when taking into account the years for which the data coverage was above 85%. For NO2 and O3 no clear trends were observed. The sources of all three trace gases were investigated using wind measurements and in the case of NO2 also using back trajectories. The analysis indicated that the source areas of NO2 and SO2 are to the east and north-east of the site, i.e., at Nikel-Zapolyarnyj industrial areas in Kola Peninsula, Russia. In addition to these, NO2 transported from other industrial and urban areas in Europe can also be observed at Sevettijärvi.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This study was carried out to measure how a college’s ranking shapes adolescent perceptions about college cost. Respondents were asked to rate pairs of college profiles based on five control attributes (ownership, size, graduation rate, location, and student-faculty ratio) and college ranking. Control attributes were randomly drawn from the joint distribution of real-world college traits. Random assignment of the college’s ranking was based on a uniform distribution across levels (Top 25, 25-50, 50-75, 75-100). A total of 800 teens age 13-17 participated. Respondents were asked to predict the annual cost of attendance and how much financial aid they might receive from each college, and to rate and justify their preference for one school over the other if they were accepted to both. This allowed for comparison of school preference across rankings and respondent demographics.

description: We studied wintertime aerosol formation and subsequent particle growth events that have been frequently observed in ambient air at a boreal forest site (SMEAR II station) in southern Finland. Aerosol size distributions, gas concentrations, biological activity and meteorological parameters have been measured at the site continuously since 1996. An important observation, based on flux measurements, was that all particle formation events were connected with either increased water evapo-transpiration or carbon dioxide uptake by the forest. However, increased H2O or CO2 fluxes did also occur on days without aerosol formation events, but these occasions were connected to cloudy or polluted days with high pre-existing aerosol concentrations. Thus, our overall conclusion is that in order for an aerosol formation event to occur, some ecological or bio-geo-chemical activity is needed. During wintertime, this activity seems to be mostly related to snow–atmosphere interactions.

The substance comes primarily from two forthcoming papers Block Diagrams for Categorical Cybernetics and What Constitutes a Constitution? The coinage of Model-Based-Institutional-Design (MBID) is an amalgamation of Model-Based-Systems-Engineering (MBSE) and Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD); the latter was originally “Design” and Design is more in keeping with our proposed framework because the ongoing institutional development falls under Computer-Aided-Governance (CAG).

description: The understanding of how teenagers perceive, manage and perform privacy is less well-understood in spaces outside of Western, educated, industrialised, rich and democratic countries.

To fill this gap we interviewed 30 teens to investigate the privacy perceptions, practices, and experienced digital harms of young people in Pakistan, a particularly interesting context as privacy in this context is not seen as an individual right or performed within an individualistic framework but instead is influenced by a combination of factors including social norms, family dynamics and religious beliefs.

Based on our findings, we developed four personas to systematize the needs and values of this specific population and then conducted focus groups with co-design activities to further explore privacy conflicts. Among other things that confirm and extend existing theories on teen’s privacy practices and perceptions, our findings suggest that young women are disproportionately impacted by privacy violations and the harms extend beyond themselves to include their families.

description: SMART2, an extended version of the dynamic soil acidification model SMART, was tested with data from a forested catchment in Finland. The catchment belongs to the network of the Integrated Monitoring Programme and is situated in North Karelia (Eastern Finland). The aim of the study was to predict the long-term acidification of soil and runoff water at the study site under different scenarios of future sulphur and nitrogen deposition. Another objective was to study the model behaviour by comparing the results obtained with this extended version to those of SMART. Compared to previous SMART model calibrations, only the nitrate concentration in surface water was clearly closer to the mean observed value. For the specific purposes of the current study, the results did not indicate any great advantage in using the more complex model version SMART2. The scenario runs with both models showed a decline in soil base saturation and surface water pH in response to the rapid increase in acidifying deposition that started in the 1960s. The studied reduction scenarios will result in the cessation of environmental deterioration and the onset of recovery. However, the timing of the response depends on the stringency of the chosen abatement strategy.

description: Podzolic soil profiles down to the illuvial (B) horizon are inverted on soil surfaces during ploughing of forest soils (as part of forestry practices). As a result, aluminium once immobilized in the horizon may begin to remobilize. In the present study, soil solution Al concentrations in ploughed podzolic profiles were compared with those of the corresponding undisturbed profiles at two forest sites tilt-ploughed 17 (K1) and 31 (K2) years ago. The soil solution was obtained from fresh soil samples, using a centrifugation drainage technique. Aluminium was fractioned to labile monomeric Al, non-labile monomeric Al and acid-soluble Al. Increased concentrations of various Al fractions were observed in the ploughed profiles at both forest sites, especially in the Bs horizons exposed to the soil surface and in the O horizon buried beneath the tilt at site K1. In those horizons where Al had increased, soil solution pH decreased while the concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) increased, suggesting that remobilization of Al occurred in the ploughed profiles.

description: In a four-year field experiment, we studied the establishment success of re-introduced Sphagnum angustifolium in a restored (rewetted) cut-away peatland. The importance of (1) the presence of capitula and (2) water table level for re-colonisation was tested. The ten times greater cover produced by moss material with capitula revealed that using only the top few centimetres of moss surface the re-colonisation success can be remarkably accelerated. Each year the mean cover was higher in drier conditions than in the regularly flooded conditions. Similarly the length of mosses increased more evenly in drier conditions. The weaker establishment at wetter conditions was a result of peat erosion and the disappearance of mosses due to periodical flooding. The development of Sphagnum carpet was not linear but the cover decreased during years with periods of flooding and drought. The dynamic state of the Sphagnum surfaces showed that the moss cover was not permanently established during the four years study period, but was sensitive to variation in water table level.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to explore whether the some/other question format might have different validity effects depending upon the order in which the response options were offered to respondents. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of sixteen conditions which asked one of four versions (some/other format with normal ordered responses, some/other format with reversed ordered responses, direct question format with normal ordered responses, or direct question format with reverse ordered responses) of two questions (importance of hard work/help from others and whether President Obama should meet with leader of countries hostile to the U.S.). A total of 1,852 respondents participated. Post-treatment, respondents were asked to complete validity criteria that correlate to the experimental questions. This allowed for comparison of responses to experimental questions across that of validity criteria and respondent demographics.

description: Salix lapponum is a threatened species in locations outside its geographical range (N. Europe). In Poland, the number of populations has decreased within the last 10 years, which prompted us to reintroduce propagated plants into natural habitats. We describe our activities: from obtaining the plant material, through in vitro propagation, ex situ cultivation, to translocation and one-year monitoring. We found that plants produced in ex situ conditions are able to survive in natural habitats, but their condition depends on the production process. We noted that when the plant material was collected in May or July and the in vitro seedlings were cultivated in soil from the end of October or December and until introduction into the natural habitat at the end of May the following year, all plants survived. This contrasted the 43% of survival rate when explants were collected in September and the seedlings were cultivated in soil from February. The short-term results indicate that the morphology of plants intended for reintroduction is of great significance. This is particularly important for planning methods of plant production and acclimatization. Finally we can conclude that in the case of S. lapponum, an initial evaluation of reintroduction success is possible after just one year.

description: The effects of biologically treated effluents from bleached sulphite pulp production were studied using brown trout (Salmo trutta) as test organism. Continuous-flow exposures under laboratory conditions were conducted at two dilutions (1:40 and 1:400) for eight weeks, followed by a six-week recovery period. Physiological and biochemical biomarkers including liver histology, hematology and hepatic enzyme assays were used and the exposure was verified by analysing fish bile and fish tissue concentrations of resin acids and chlorophenols. The conjugated chlorophenols and resin acids levels in the exposed fish bile are considered as low. Only two significant responses were observed, both in liver function.The MFO associated EROD activity was induced parallel to lower liver glycogen levels. Otherwise, the changes in physiological parameters analysed were few as compared to reference fish. The small differences in physiological parameters between the reference group and the exposure group (1:40) after six-week recovery period show that the observed responses were reversible. The spectrum and pattern of results observed in this study are very much the same as seen in laboratory and field studies with bleached kraft mill effluents from modern mills.

description: This paper details our journey in designing and selecting a suitable application sandboxing mechanism for a satellite under development, with a focus on small satellites. Central to our study is the development of selection criteria for sandboxing and assessing its appropriateness for our satellite payload. We also test our approach on two already operational satellites, Suchai and SALSAT, to validate its effectiveness. These experiments highlight the practicality and efficiency of our chosen sandboxing method for real-world space systems. Our results provide insights and highlight the challenges involved in integrating application sandboxing in the space sector.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to assess the extent to which attitudes toward military veterans and private contractors differ, and whether attitudes toward individuals vary based on combat experience, deployment status. Respondents were randomly assigned to be presented with one of six vignettes describing man with military experience (recently finished serving in the military vs. recently worked for a private military contractor) who either served/worked only in the United states, served/worked in Iraq, or served/worked in Iraq and came under enemy fire. A total of 3,021 respondents participated. Respondents were asked to answer measures assessing preferences for social distance from the man in the vignette, whether the man in the vignette should receive government assistance or preferential hiring from employers, and mental health stigmatization. This allowed for comparison of attitudes toward military personnel across vignettes.

description: Gerade vor Wahlen taucht bisweilen die Frage auf, ob Frauen überhaupt das Zeug dazu haben, sich im harten Geschäft parlamentarischer Auseinandersetzung Gehör zu verschaffen. Die Zweifel an der politischen Überlebensfähigkeit von Frauen gründen dabei auf zwei stereotypen Grundannahmen: dem Bild der Frau als zartem Geschlecht und der Vorstellung parlamentarischer Praxis als kampfbetonter Männerclub.

description: In a changing climate, it is critical to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. At the same time, we need to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In addition, it is important to make other radiative forcing components, such as those due to changes in atmospheric aerosol loadings, clouds and albedo, to counteract the warming effects of greenhouse gases. An important way to reduce warming is the removal of CO2 from atmosphere by ecosystems, which act as carbon sinks and storages. However, ecosystems influence also other radiative forcing components, yet the full potential of different ecosystems to mitigate climate warming is challenging to compare. Here we propose a novel concept (CarbonSink+ Potential) to compare ecosystems in terms of their carbon uptake and aerosol production capacity. In our approach, we utilize the regional aerosol formation measured at the SMEAR II station in Hyytiälä, southern Finland, together with locally measured negative ion concentrations at various ecosystems within the region (forest, peatland and grassland). The local ion concentrations are measured in the size range of 2.0‒2.3 nm that indicates aerosol formation within a source area of roughly similar size as that of carbon sink measurements. The results show that, among the studied boreal ecosystems and per surface area, the pristine peatland has the lowest aerosol production and carbon sink, so this ecosystem is likely to have the smallest potential to contribute to climatic cooling (per land area). Forest (on mineral soil) has the highest carbon sink and grassland (on mineral soil) has the highest potential for aerosol production. This means, for example, that the relative contribution of grassland to climate mitigation is more important than when considering only the carbon sink.

CryptoBap: A Binary Analysis Platform for Cryptographic Protocols

Publisher: name: CISPA
Year: 2024

description: We introduce CryptoBap, a platform to verify weak secrecy and authentication for the (ARMv8 and RISC-V) machine code of cryptographic protocols. We achieve this by first transpiling the binary of protocols into an intermediate representation and then performing a crypto-aware symbolic execution to automatically extract a model of the protocol that represents all its execution paths. Our symbolic execution resolves indirect jumps and supports bounded loops using the loop-summarization technique, which we fully automate. The extracted model is then translated into models amenable to automated verification via ProVerif and CryptoVerif using a third-party toolchain. We prove the soundness of the proposed approach and used CryptoBap to verify multiple case studies ranging from toy examples to real-world protocols, TinySSH, an implementation of SSH, and WireGaurd, a modern VPN protocol.

description: Current course recommender systems primarily leverage learner-course interactions, course content, learner preferences, and supplementary course details like instructor, institution, ratings, and reviews, to make their recommendation. However, these systems often overlook a critical aspect: the evolving skill demand of the job market. This paper focuses on the perspective of academic researchers, working in collaboration with the industry, aiming to develop a course recommender system that incorporates job market skill demands. In light of the job market's rapid changes and the current state of research in course recommender systems, we outline essential properties for course recommender systems to address these demands effectively, including explainable, sequential, unsupervised, and aligned with the job market and user's goals. Our discussion extends to the challenges and research questions this objective entails, including unsupervised skill extraction from job listings, course descriptions, and resumes, as well as predicting recommendations that align with learner objectives and the job market and designing metrics to evaluate this alignment. Furthermore, we introduce an initial system that addresses some existing limitations of course recommender systems using large Language Models (LLMs) for skill extraction and Reinforcement Learning (RL) for alignment with the job market. We provide empirical results using open-source data to demonstrate its effectiveness.

The Duality Theory of Fractional Calculus and a New Fractional Calculus of Variations Involving Left Operators Only

description: Through duality it is possible to transform left fractional operators into right fractional operators and vice versa. In contrast to existing literature, we establish integration by parts formulas that exclusively involve either left or right operators. The emergence of these novel fractional integration by parts formulas inspires the introduction of a new calculus of variations, where only one type of fractional derivative (left or right) is present. This applies to both the problem formulation and the corresponding necessary optimality conditions. As a practical application, we present a new Lagrangian that relies solely on left-hand side fractional derivatives. The fractional variational principle derived from this Lagrangian leads us to the equation of motion for a dissipative/damped system.

Relationship between atmospheric circulation indices and climate variability in Estonia
Creators: name: Tomingas, O.
Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 2002

description: A simple method for calculating circulation indices by using gridded data of mean sea level pressure is applied to Estonia. The main objective of the research is to analyse the relationship between the developed indices and climate variability in Estonia. The results indicated that correlation between the indices and air temperature varies significantly between different months and seasons. The air temperature is positively correlated with the zonal circulation index during the period from September to March and has no correlation from April to August. The meridional index (positive values correspond to the higher-than-normal southerly airflow) has a positive correlation with the air temperature from April to September and no significant correlation in other months. In case of the higher-than-normal zonal and SW–NE index, the duration of the snow cover in Estonia is shorter than normal because the snow cover duration is related to air temperature conditions. The correlation between the indices and precipitation is low. Several statistically significant trends in monthly and seasonal circulation indices were detected using a linear regression analysis and a non-parametric Mann-Kendall test for trend. During 1946–1997, the mean zonal circulation has intensified in February and winter (DJF), and decreased in April, June and September. The southerly airflow has increased in March. The southwesterly circulation has increased in February and March and decreased in April, June, September, summer (JJA) and autumn (SON). The airflow from southeast has intensified in spring (MAM).
