SAIL: Analyzing Structural Artifacts of Logic Locking Using Machine Learning (2021)

Obfuscation or Logic locking (LL) is a technique for protecting hardware intellectual property (IP) blocks against diverse threats, including IP theft, reverse engineering, and malicious modifications. State-of-the-art locking techniques primarily focus on securing a design from unauthorized usage by disabling correct functionality – they often do not directly address hiding design intent through structural transformations. They rely on the synthesis tool to introduce structural changes. We observe that this process is insufficient as the resulting changes in circuit topology are: (1) local and (2) predictable. In this paper, we analyze the structural transformations introduced by LL and introduce a potential attack, called SAIL, that can exploit structural artifacts introduced by LL. SAIL uses machine learning (ML) guided structural recovery that exposes a critical vulnerability in these techniques. Through this attack, we demonstrate that the gate-level structure of a locked design can be retrieved in most parts through a systematic set of steps. The proposed attack is applicable to most forms of logic locking, and significantly more powerful than existing attacks, e.g., SAT-based attacks, since it does not require the availability of golden functional responses (e.g., an unlocked IC). Evaluation on benchmark circuits shows that we can recover an average of about 92%, up to 97%, transformations (Top-10 R-Metric) introduced by logic locking. We show that this attack is scalable, flexible, and versatile. Additionally, to evaluate the SAIL attack resilience of a locked design, we present the SIVA-Metric that is fast in terms of computation speed and does not require any training. We also propose possible mitigation steps for incorporating SAIL resilience into a locked design.
Operations Research Approach Towards Layered Multi-Source Video Delivery (2004)

We address the problem of rate scaling of multiple layered video streams in applications such as a multi-camera video surveillance system. This differs from the single video streaming scenario in that relevant information from all sources has to be aggregated and a collective decision made. We propose a scenario to achieve better granularity in quality adaptation by considering inter-source and inter-layer streaming jointly, using Operation Research techniques to arrive at an optimal or nearoptimal solution. We formulate our Multi-Source MultiLayer Selection (SLS) problem in the form of a MultipleChoice Knapsack Problem (MCKP). We analyze optimal and approximate algorithms to determine their suitability for solving the problem. We present a simple modification based on an existing greedy aglorithm by exploiting some properties of layered video. The modified SLS algorithm is extended to incorporate weights (Weighted SLS - WSLS - algorithm). Via experimental results using MPEG-4 FGS, we show that WSLS improves the performance for specialized applications. We also discuss the various network configurations of a multi-source video distribution system.
Optimization of a partition’s ASTC to reach speech privacy goals, including innovative construction administration methods (2022)

In order to achieve speech privacy in a room, it must be accurately engineered from the partitions, such as the walls, to the door. The speech privacy specification results from calculations based on the partitions’ STC. It is referenced by most building codes that these partitions, when built outside of the controlled lab, have an ASTC that is 5 points lower than the STC. When the ASTC is more than 5 points lower, strict speech privacy requirements are not met. This presentation discusses flanking and acoustic leakage points which degrade the wall by more than 5 points. Methodologies for resolving these issues of flanking or acoustic leakage will be presented that help bring the ASTC close to the STC and thereby meet the goals for speech privacy. A further discussion of innovative methods of construction administration to achieve these goals will also be discussed
MKG-Notfälle erkennen und behandeln – Teil 1: Entzündungen und Blutungen (2022)

Was tun bei Retrobulbärhämatom oder bei unstillbarer Blutung aus der Mundhöhle? Und was ist bei einem dentogenen Weichteillogenabszess zu beachten? Obwohl die Lehre an deutschen Universitäten den Fachbereich MKG-Chirurgie schwerpunktmäßig im Zahnmedizinstudium verankert und im Humanmedizinstudium zum Teil nur passager streift, sollte zum Grundrepertoire eines Notfallmediziners auch das Erkennen von medizinischen Notfallsituationen im MKG-Bereich gehören. Diese können schnell lebensbedrohlich werden oder zu irreversiblen Organschäden führen. Über solche Notfälle und Prinzipien der Behandlung mit Fokus auf die Notaufnahme soll im Folgenden ein Überblick gegeben werden. Dabei teilt sich dieser Beitrag auf 2 Artikel auf: Teil 1 behandelt „Entzündungen und Blutungen“, während in Teil 2 „Trauma und Verlegung der Atemwege“ thematisiert werden 1.
Lung disease diagnostic method based on proteomic analysis of exhaled breath condensate (2019)

<b>Objective:</b> non-invasive approach to differential diagnosis of socially significant lung diseases by analyzing the protein composition of the exhaled breath condensate using ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry. <b>Materials and methods:</b> We examined 19 patients with BA, 32 patients with COPD, 26-with community-acquired pneumonia, 46-with NSCLC and 61 healthy volunteers. EBC was collected using ECoScreen. EBC-samples were lyophilized, hydrolyzed and analyzed by HPLC and tandem mass spectrometry. <b>Results:</b> Based on the study of EBC protein composition of patients with BA, COPD, pneumonia and lung cancer, it was shown that the results of the proteome analysis in groups differ from each other and are consistent with the clinical picture of the diseases under consideration. Protein biomarker panels included human growth hormone and sarcolectin for BA-group; cystatins B and M, annexins A1 and A2, HSP90B1 and laminin for pneumonia group; peroxiredoxin for COPD-group; POTEE, serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 1−6, protein spindly, septin-7 for cancer group. Based on the study of EBC peptide composition a linear analytical model was developed for predicting the presence of lung cancer against the background of other respiratory diseases. The model was cross-validated and showed good prognostic ability. <b>Conclusions:</b> We found that samples of EBC groups of healthy donors, patients with BA, COPD, pneumonia and NSCLC have a characteristic protein spectrum. The identified proteins could be offered as a diagnostic panel for these diseases based on EBC analysis. The identified peptides have been used for developing a diagnostic model for EBC proteomic data. The study was supported by RFBR (project no. 18-29-09158).

Zinc oxide nanowire-based pressure and temperature sensor (2015)

Tactile sensors have been received with tremendous attention and developed rapidly for the last few decades. There have been various technologies and transduction methods to innovate the tactile sensor; however, the ability of tactile sensors has left much to be desired. For example, a resistive and a capacitive type sensor, most widely used techniques for touch screen technology and tactile sensor have a limit of detecting temperature. In this study, Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanowire-based tactile sensors which can detect both the pressure and temperature is demonstrated when the sensor is under pressure or heat. Pressure or temperature sensitivity from dynamic tactile sensing is also discussed from the results.
Proteochemometrics Modeling of Receptor-Ligand Interactions Using Rough Sets. (2004)

Abstract: We report on a model for the interaction of chimeric melanocortin G-protein coupled receptors with peptide ligands using the rough set approach. Rough sets generate If-Then rule models using Boolean reasoning. Two separate datasets have been analyzed, for which the binding affinities have previously been measured experimentally. The receptors and ligands are described by vectors of strings. Different partitions of each dataset were evaluated in order to find an optimal partition into rough set decision classes. To obtain a measurement of the accuracy of the rough set classifier generated from each dataset, a 10-fold cross validation (CV) was performed. The Area Under Curve (AUC) was calculated for each iteration during CV. This resulted in an AUC mean of 0.94 (SD 0.12) and 0.93 (SD 0.16) for the first and second dataset respectively. The CV results show that the rough set models exhibit a high classification quality. The decision rules generated from the rough set model inductions are easy to interpret. We apply this information to develop models of the interaction between ligands and receptors.
Optimization of Amount and Blending of Cementitious Materials in High-Performance Concrete (2000)

In recent years, there has been a demand by the traveling public for longer-lasting, more durable transportation structures. One of the biggest problems encountered is the corrosion of reinforcing steel used in concrete applications. To reduce the damage caused by the ingress of chlorides, and the subsequent corrosion, the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has developed and used a high-performance concrete, designated Class HP. As part of a continuous improvement effort to produce longer-lasting structures, research has been ongoing to further improve the characteristics of Class HP concrete. The study is a continuation of the previous experimental work performed by the NYSDOT and reported in Transportation Research Record 1574. During that study, the effects of microsilica, fly ash, and the total cementitious mass in a mixture on cracking and permeability of the resulting concrete were studied. The experimental design used in the investigation resulted in testing a minimal number of concrete mixtures yet allowed the analysis of a broad range of possible combinations. Statistical analysis of experimental data is presented, and examples of a scientific approach to experimentation are shown. The Response Surface Methodology was used with the appropriate statistical experimental designs, including the Box–Behnken design. In addition to the traditional linear regression models, a modern technique of the local regression was used.

Regeneration via organogenesis in callus cultures of Argyrolobium roseum (2006)

A reproducible protocol has been developed for high frequency plant regeneration from immature embryos of Argyrolobium roseum Jaub & Spach, an important medicinal legume. Green nodular calli were initiated from immature embryos excised from 10-d-old pods in 70 % of cultures within 3 weeks when grown on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.5 mg dm-3 benzylaminopurine (BAP) + 0.25 mg dm-3 indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Subsequent transfer of 5 mm2 callus pieces to MS medium supplemented with BAP (0.5 mg dm-3) alone or in combination with IAA (0.25 mg dm-3) facilitated regeneration of multiple shoots. Organogenic calli bearing multiple shoots when transferred to MS medium supplemented with BAP (0.5 mg dm-3) + IAA (0.25 mg dm-3) supported rapid shoot elongation. Shoot propagules subcultured to Gamborg's medium (B5) with 0.5 mg dm-3 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) rooted with 80 % frequency and developed into phenotypically normal plants. Plantlets were successfully acclimatized in a sterile mixture of sand and garden soil (1:1) under greenhouse and thereafter transferred to field beds.
Best Practices for Benchmarking Germline Small Variant Calls in Human Genomes (2018)

Abstract Assessing accuracy of NGS variant calling is immensely facilitated by a robust benchmarking strategy and tools to carry it out in a standard way. Benchmarking variant calls requires careful attention to definitions of performance metrics, sophisticated comparison approaches, and stratification by variant type and genome context. The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) Benchmarking Team has developed standardized performance metrics and tools for benchmarking germline small variant calls. This team includes representatives from sequencing technology developers, government agencies, academic bioinformatics researchers, clinical laboratories, and commercial technology and bioinformatics developers for whom benchmarking variant calls is essential to their work. Benchmarking variant calls is a challenging problem for many reasons: Evaluating variant calls requires complex matching algorithms and standardized counting because the same variant may be represented differently in truth and query callsets. Defining and interpreting resulting metrics such as precision (aka positive predictive value = TP/(TP+FP)) and recall (aka sensitivity = TP/(TP+FN)) requires standardization to draw robust conclusions about comparative performance for different variant calling methods. Performance of NGS methods can vary depending on variant types and genome context; and as a result understanding performance requires meaningful stratification. High-confidence variant calls and regions that can be used as “truth” to accurately identify false positives and negatives are difficult to define, and reliable calls for the most challenging regions and variants remain out of reach. We have made significant progress on standardizing comparison methods, metric definitions and reporting, as well as developing and using truth sets. Our methods are publicly available on GitHub ( https://github.com/ga4gh/benchmarking-tools ) and in a web-based app on precisionFDA, which allow users to compare their variant calls against truth sets and to obtain a standardized report on their variant calling performance. Our methods have been piloted in the precisionFDA variant calling challenges to identify the best-in-class variant calling methods within high-confidence regions. Finally, we recommend a set of best practices for using our tools and critically evaluating the results.
Optical absorptions of polyfluorene transistors (2005)

Conjugated polymers are a promising class of materials for organic electronics. While the progress in device performance is impressive, the basics of charge transport still pose many open questions. Specifically, conduction at the comparatively rough polymer-polymer interface in an all-polymer field-effect transistor is expected to be different from a sharp interface with an inorganic dielectric, such as silicon dioxide. In this work, charge modulation spectroscopy (CMS) is used to study the optical absorptions in the presence of charges in situ in the transistor structure. This allows direct observation of the charge carriers in the operational device via their spectroscopic signature; the technique is by design very sensitive to the properties of the semiconductor-dielectric interface. The semiconducting copolymer poly($9,{9}^{\ensuremath{'}}$-dioctyl-fluorene-co-bithiophene) (F8T2) is incorporated into a top-gate thin-film transistor structure with a polymer dielectric layer deposited by spin coating and inkjet-printed polymer electrodes. A prominent charge-induced absorption at $1.65\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{eV}$ is observed as well as a shoulder at $1.3\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{eV}$ and a tail extending toward the absorption edge. The bias dependence of the CMS signature confirms that intermixing of the polymer layers is minimal, as expected from the excellent transistor characteristics. Polarization-dependent CMS measurements on aligned transistors show that the main feature at $1.65\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{eV}$ is strongly polarized whereas the shoulder is unpolarized. This observation, as well as further experimental evidence, lead to the conclusion that while the main absorption is attributable to the intrinsic, polaronic absorption in F8T2, the shoulder is likely to originate from a defect state.
Alternating donor-acceptor block copolymers (2004)

The interest in org. semiconducting materials for electronic materials applications is highlighted by the desire for easily processible materials that can be fabricated inexpensively on flexible substrates. Donor-acceptor org. materials are of particular interest for their applications in bipolar field effect transistors and solar cells. We have prepd. donor-acceptor materials based on oligothiophenes and perylenebisimides as our donor (p-type) and acceptor (n-type) blocks, resp. Alternating donor-acceptor block copolymers were prepd. via the Stille coupling of a thiophene-functionalized perylenebisimide with a bis(trimethylstannyl)-bithiophene initiator. Since a film morphol. consisting of strong donor-donor/acceptor-acceptor interactions is desired, we have focused our study on the effect of hydrogen bonding to reinforce the strong p-p stacking of \\"like\\" blocks of oligothiophenes and perylenebisimides. The synthesis of these materials, their surface characterization, photophys. measurements, as well as the performance of these materials in solar cells and bipolar field effect transistors will be presented.
Reliability processing of remote direct memory access (2023)

Methods and systems for monitoring remote transmissions of messages among a plurality of nodes are described. A processing element in a first node may allocate a sequence number to a request to read and/or update data in a second node. The processing element may be different from main processors of the first node. The processing element may send the message and the sequence number to the second node. The processing element may modify a status of the sequence number to an active state, indicating a transmission of the message is pending. The processing element may, in response to a response from the second node, modify the status of the sequence number to an inactive state, indicating a completed transmission of the message. The processing element may, in response to no response from the second node within a time period, resend the message and the sequence number to the second node.
Changes in the Ir gene controlled response phenotypes in mice of the Ap and Ak family of alleles expressing naturally occurring variant molecules. (1984)

Several wild-derived H-2 haplotype mice were recently shown by serology and tryptic peptide fingerprinting to express I-region A molecules closely related to the Ap and Ak molecules of the laboratory strains. To determine if such naturally occurring minor structural variations in the A molecule alter Ir gene-controlled responsiveness, we examined the immune responses of these strains after primary immunizations to three synthetic polypeptide antigens: G60Phe40, GLPhe9, and GAT10. Inbred strains carrying the Ap (or Aq) allele are known to be high responders to G60Phe40 and GLPhe9 but low responders to GAT10. Strains expressing the Ak allele are classified as low responders to G60Phe40 and GLPhe9, but high responders to GAT10. Of seven strains examined belonging to the Ap family, one (B10.CAS2) failed to respond to either G60Phe40 or GLPhe9 as measured by antibody production and T cell proliferation. In addition, two strains (B10.STC90 and W12A) of the Ak family were found to be of responder phenotype to GLPhe9. Both GLPhe9 responses resulted from the introduction of new E beta genes into the I region through naturally occurring intergenic recombination between A beta A alpha and E beta. All strains of mice in the Ak family proved to be of the high responder phenotype in their responses toward GAT10. These results contrast strongly with known patterns of alloreactivity against the variant Ap and Ak molecules.

Skin hydration: interplay between molecular dynamics, structure and water uptake in the stratum corneum (2017)

Hydration is a key aspect of the skin that influences its physical and mechanical properties. Here, we investigate the interplay between molecular and macroscopic properties of the outer skin layer - the stratum corneum (SC) and how this varies with hydration. It is shown that hydration leads to changes in the molecular arrangement of the peptides in the keratin filaments as well as dynamics of C-H bond reorientation of amino acids in the protruding terminals of keratin protein within the SC. The changes in molecular structure and dynamics occur at a threshold hydration corresponding to ca. 85% relative humidity (RH). The abrupt changes in SC molecular properties coincide with changes in SC macroscopic swelling properties as well as mechanical properties in the SC. The flexible terminals at the solid keratin filaments can be compared to flexible polymer brushes in colloidal systems, creating long-range repulsion and extensive swelling in water. We further show that the addition of urea to the SC at reduced RH leads to similar molecular and macroscopic responses as the increase in RH for SC without urea. The findings provide new molecular insights to deepen the understanding of how intermediate filament organization responds to changes in the surrounding environment.
