Soil moisture observations 1.1 Integrated soil moisture (𝜃) from the TDR sensors. Two TDR 𝜃 sensors (see section 4) were buried in the study site, both observe 6 depths simultaneously (5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 cm). To be compared with a CRNS we only used the depths up to 30 cm, so we obtained daily means for the 5, 10, 20 and 30 cm from both sensors. The 𝜃 of all the depths was averaged for every sensor (eq 1 and eq 2) and then averaged between both sensors daily (eq 3). 𝜃𝑣𝑒𝑔= (𝜃5𝑐𝑚+ 𝜃10𝑐𝑚+ 𝜃20𝑐𝑚+ 𝜃30𝑐𝑚) 4 ⁄ (eq 1) where 𝜃𝑣𝑒𝑔 is the daily integrated soil moisture for the sensor in the vegetation (ridge) site (cm³/cm³) and 𝜃5−30𝑐𝑚 is the daily soil moisture for every specific depth for the sensor in the vegetation (ridge) site (cm³/cm³). 𝜃𝑏𝑎𝑟𝑒= (𝜃5𝑐𝑚+ 𝜃10𝑐𝑚+ 𝜃20𝑐𝑚+ 𝜃30𝑐𝑚) 4 ⁄ (eq 2) where 𝜃𝑏𝑎𝑟𝑒 is the daily integrated soil moisture for the sensor in the bare soil (furrow) site (cm³/cm³) and 𝜃5−30𝑐𝑚 is the daily soil moisture for every specific depth for the sensor in the bare soil (furrow) site (cm³/cm³). 𝜃𝑇𝐷𝑅= (𝜃𝑣𝑒𝑔+ 𝜃𝑏𝑎𝑟𝑒)/2 (eq 3) Where 𝜃𝑇𝐷𝑅 is the daily integrated soil moisture for the first 30 cm and both sensors (cm³/cm³), 𝜃𝑣𝑒𝑔 is the daily integrated soil moisture for the sensor in the vegetation (ridge) site (cm³/cm³) and 𝜃𝑏𝑎𝑟𝑒 is the daily integrated soil moisture for the sensor in the bare soil (furrow) site (cm³/cm³). 1.2 Cosmic-Ray Neutron Sensor (CRNS) calibration and estimate of 𝜃. A CRNS is a tool that observes neutrons, to use it to estimate 𝜃 we first must correct and calibrate the neutron counts observed by the sensor following a standardized procedure (Franz et al., 2020). To do this, a field sampling took place to obtain 𝜃 from the gravimetric method. Then, the time series of the CRNS for that specific day was used to apply the corrections for air pressure (eq 4), water vapor (eq 5) and neutron intensity (eq 9) (Desilets et al., 2010; Desilets & Zreda, 2006; Rosolem et al., 2013). Equations 6, 7 and 8 are for absolute humidity (𝜌𝑣), actual vapor pressure at surface (𝑒) and saturated vapor pressure at surface (𝑒𝑜) respectively, obtained from (Stull., 2011). 𝑓𝑝= exp ( 𝑃−𝑃𝑜 𝜆) (eq 4)

The sensing element consists of 12,000 nanowires, each 90 nm wide and 5 mm long, on an area of 5 x 4.3 mm. The sensing element was fabricated using phase shift mask lithography and dry etch processes followed by CMP; characterisation was carried with SEM and AFM. Finally transduction mechanism, showing linear encoder performance was demonstrated with electrical testing using independent nanopositioner. Strong signals in µA range are obtained on scans from several hundred nm to several mm range. nanoTrek® may address problems of dimensional metrology and alignment at the next technology nodes in micro-fabrication, nano-positioning and nano-imprinting. Keywords: quantum tunneling, NEMS, positional metrology, linear encoder, tunneling sensors 1 MOTIVATION Sub-nanometer dimensional metrology is critical to advance microelectronic manufacturing below the 100 nm critical dimensions limit, and then on to the next nodes defined by Sematech International: 65 nm and 45 nm. Metrology tools to reach those next nodes are not well developed. New sub-nanometer metrology solutions and new technology is required [1]. Quantum-π proprietary technology [2,3] is well suited to offer those solutions and to provide the necessary metrology tools. Nanometer and sub-nanometer scale positional metrology is also critical to advancements in nanotechnology, in general. 2 nanoTrek® CONCEPT Quantum-π technology utilizes physical phenomenon of electron tunneling. Quantum electron tunneling occurs when two electrical conductors are placed in a very close proximity to each other and are separated by an insulating layer. When small bias potential is applied between conductors, electric current flows between them despite no apparent “presence or availablity” of electric carriers in the gap region. Quantum tunneling is an exceedingly sensitive probe of inter-electrode separation, electrode area, the type of electrode material and the nature of intervening insulator. Quantum-π technology is based on variable overlap area of the electrodes. A generic Quantum-π nanoTrek® device is composed of two plates separated by a very thin layer of soft-matter spacer insulator. Several hundred to several thousand nanowires are fabricated on each substrate. The nanowires on the two surfaces facing each other and aligned with each other form elongated electrodes in the tunneling process. Substrates are allowed to slide past each other while their normal separation remains constant – this makes our device distinctly different from any previously built tunneling sensors where cantilevers and tips were critical elements and it was variable inter-electrode separation that produced transduction signal. Any lateral shift of substrates with nanowires will induce change in alignment and that in turn will result in measurable changes of electrical current flowing between the plates. This effect is demonstrated on Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1: Idealised device showing strips of conductors perfectly overlapping each other (top projection at left panel, cross section at middle panel, max current – right panel). Figure 2: Idealised device showing strips of conductors in off-set position (top projection at left panel, cross section at middle panel, results in no current – right panel).

Designing, Building, and Characterizing RF Switch-based Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces Marco Rossanese NEC Laboratories Europe marco.rossanese@neclab.eu Placido Mursia NEC Laboratories Europe placido.mursia@neclab.eu Andres Garcia-Saavedra NEC Laboratories Europe andres.garcia.saavedra@neclab.eu Vincenzo Sciancalepore NEC Laboratories Europe vincenzo.sciancalepore@neclab.eu Arash Asadi TU Darmstadt, Germany aasadi@wise.tu-darmstadt.de Xavier Costa-Perez i2cat, NEC Labs Europe, ICREA xavier.costa@neclab.eu ABSTRACT In this poster, we present the Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) that we designed, built, and tested. At first, the RIS technology is briefly discussed, subsequently, our prototype details are explained, and finally, we conclude by showing the obtained test results. Our RIS design comprises arrays of patch antennas, delay lines, and pro- grammable radio-frequency (RF) switches that enable almost-passive 3D beamforming, i.e., without active RF components. 1 INTRODUCTION Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) are well per- ceived as a key technology for next-generation mobile systems [2]. A RIS can be seen as a planar structure able to manipulate the electromagnetic response of the impinging RF signals. A typical RIS can programmatically re-focus the re- ceived signal towards selected directions by changing the phase shifts of its antennas/reflectors. This ability of the RIS opens a new paradigm of wireless environment: traditionally it has been treated as an optimization con- straint, but now it plays an active role in the system, creating the so called Smart Radio Environment [1]. For instance, the presence of a RIS can be beneficial when the line of sight between the base station and the user is obstructed; the user can rely on the RIS, which still has a direct channel with the base station and can beamform the signal to the user. This scenario is depicted in Fig. 1.

Beamforming is a technique that exploits the phe- nomenon of interference: in the RIS case, the signals are received by the antennas, forwarded to the phase shifters, and finally retransmitted. If the phase shift for each antenna is correctly applied, then the signals will constructively interfere towards the desired direction and destructively interfere with the rest. Therefore, the signal is reinforced and the power channeled where it is needed, as represented in Fig. 2. In addition, RISs are supposed to be cheap and low consuming devices, hence they must satisfy the follow- ing requirements: (𝑖) RISs shall (re-)steer RF signals with minimal power loss; (𝑖𝑖) RISs must not use active RF com- ponents; (𝑖𝑖𝑖) RISs must minimize the energy required to re-configure their reflective cells; (𝑖𝑣) RISs shall be re- configurable in real-time; and (𝑣) RISs must be amenable to low-cost production at scale. 2 OUR RIS PROTOTYPE Our prototype [3] is built in PCB technology with a thickness of 0.6mm, it contains 100 patch antennas dis- posed in a 10x10 grid and all the necessary electronic components; the RIS prototype can be seen in Fig. 4. The working frequency of the antennas is 5.3 GHz with a bandwidth of 100 MHz and the antennas are separated by an inter-element distance between antennas of 𝜆/2.

Resumen INOCREP es una formulación multiespecies de segunda generación que fue diseñado para potenciar el crecimiento de plantas de interés agrícola [1] y posteriormente plantas de jardín [2]. Los inoculantes microbianos de segunda generación son desarrollos más avanzados en el campo de los inoculantes biológicos utilizados en agricultura [3]. A diferencia de los inoculantes de primera generación, que usualmente contienen un solo tipo de microorganismo beneficioso (como rizobios para la fijación de nitrógeno en leguminosas), los de segunda generación suelen ser formulaciones más complejas y con mejores propiedades que los de primera generación [2, 4, 5]. INOCREP contiene 6 especies bacterianas compatibles entre sí, pero que producen sustancias inhibitorias contra microorganismos patógenos [1, 4]. Las cepas bacterianas de este inoculante son tolerantes a desecación por lo que pueden ser aplicadas en zonas de baja disponibilidad de agua y cuando hay condiciones propicias

Reproducible geographic methods for priortising safe routes to school in data poor environments Robin Lovelace∗1 and Eli Pousson2 1University of Leeds, Active Travel England, UK 2Baltimore Plannning Department, USA January 20, 2023 Summary Safe routes to school have great potential to tackle a wide range of social and environmental challenges, leading to the development of geographic methods to answer the question of ’where to build’. Existing research in the area suffers from various limitations, including low geographic resolution, a focus on only one active mode (cycling) to the expense of others (e.g. walking and scooting), and the fact that the approach only works in ’data rich’ contexts. The aim of this paper is to outline geographic methods that can overcome this final limitation. KEYWORDS: transport, active travel, routing, development. 1 Introduction Physical inactivity, climate change, and mental health are three of most pressing problems of the 21st century. Although the evidence on each issue is still emerging, each is well-documented in the scientific literature Department of Health (2004). In this context, interventions that enable active travel, “moving on your own steam”, can be considered as a “miracle pill” (Pont et al. 2010). By active travel we mean school pupils ‘moving on their own steam’ by one of the following modes of transport: • Walking • Wheeling, which can include scooting, rollerblading, or even skatingboarding • Biking, using a pedal cycle • Ebiking, using a pedal cycle with electric assist (aka pedelec) Active travel tackles physical inactivity by embedding exercise into everyday life, rather than treating as a separate (often competitive and potentially unpleasant) activity typically labelled as “sport”. It tackles the root causes of climate change by reducing car dependency and enabling low energy lifestyles. And it can improve mental health outcomes. ∗r.lovelace@leeds.ac.uk

Discussion The footstep of modern astronomy in India was in tow with the Europeans. The earliest recorded use of a telescope in India was by Jeremiah Shakerley (1626-1655), who viewed the transit of Mercury in 1651 from Surat in western India. In 1689, Jesuit priest Father Jean Richaud (1633-1693) discovered from Pondicherry that the bright star Alpha Centauri is a double-star. In 1764, Major James Renell (1742-1830) was appointed as the East India Company surveyor and astronomy was hitherto used in the process of surveying. This particular application of astronomy paved the way towards the institutionalisation of modern astronomy in India. In 1787, Madras Observatory was initiated by William Petrie, an officer of the East India Company with the use of two 3" achromatic telescopes, two astronomical clocks and a transit instrument. Around hundred and ten years later in 1899, astronomical activity of the observatory was shifted to Kodaikanal and Madras observatory became a purely meteorological observatory. The systematic solar observations were commenced at Kodaikanal Observatory in early 1901. As per B. K. Sen, there were 103 observatories in India in 1878, which was increased to 128 in 1885. Conclusion • There is a need prepare a compendium of works of Indian Astronomers and Mathematicians and preserve the Indian Traditional Knowledge in the domains of Mathematics, Astronomy and Astrophysics. • There is a need for popularizing concepts and ideas of Indian Mathematicians, Astronomers, and Astrophysicists amongst the school and college going students and general public.

Because of the exponential growth of social media usage, there has been an explosion of social media data produced by its users as UGC (User Generated Content), which can be stored in a variety of formats, including textual data, images, videos, audio, and geolocations. This potential can be used to explain various phenomena and solve problems in the tourism sector. This study will examine the use of social media data to gain a better understanding of Indonesian tourism. KEYWORDS: Social Media, UGC, Tourism, Indonesia 1. Introduction 1.1. Social Media Analysis The perspective of social media has evolved through time. Aichner et al. (2021) found that prior to 2010, social media was typically viewed as a tool for connecting people with similar interests. After 2010, the emphasis shifted to creating and sharing User Generated Content (UGC). However, the role of social media as a facilitator of human connection and a means of connecting with other users remains unchanged. Social media technologies have recently been widely acknowledged for their ability to promote information aggregation (Kapoor et al., 2018). They are no longer merely seen as sociability and gathering platforms. The exponential growth of social media usage has resulted in an explosion of social media data producing by its users as UGC, which can be stored in various formats, including textual data, images, videos, audio, and geolocations (Stieglitz et al., 2018). Social networks' widespread adoption and use provide a rich data source that can be used to answer a wide range of research questions from various disciplines (Dwivedi et al., 2021). Specifically, the analysis of social media data offers the possibility of gaining a deeper understanding of societal phenomena, generating numerous opportunities for businesses such as a competitive advantage, and influencing political outcomes or public opinion (Zachlod et al., 2022). Furthermore, Zachlod et al., (2022) investigated the definition of social media analytics and suggested a definition namely an interdisciplinary research field that focuses on developing, adapting, and extending informatics tools, * raidah.hanifah@itera.ac.id/gyrh@leeds.ac.uk † a.comber@leeds.ac.uk ‡ n.s.malleson@leeds.ac.uk § v.houlden@leeds.ac.uk


Single molecule studies of membrane proteins on glass substrates using atomic force microscopy Nagaraju Chada1, Krishna P. Sigdel1, Tina R. Matin1, Raghavendar Reddy Sanganna Gari1, Chunfeng Mao2, Linda L. Randall2, and Gavin M. King1,2 1Department of Physics and Astronomy, 2Department of Biochemistry, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri, USA 65211 Abstract Since its invention in the mid-1980s, the atomic force microscope1 (AFM) has become an invaluable complementary tool for studying membrane proteins in near-native environments. Historically, mica is the most common substrate utilized for biological AFM. Glass being amorphous, transparent, and optically homogeneous has its own set of advantages over mica and has the potential to broaden the use the AFM into fields that require high quality non-birefringent optical access. The use of silanized glass as AFM substrates has been reported as a means to fine tune surface chemistry. However, such coatings usually require hours of additional preparation time and can lead to increased surface roughness. In this work2, we present a simple technique for preparing borosilicate glass as a substrate for two membrane systems: non- crystalline translocons (SecYEG) of the general secretary system from E. coli, and bacteriorhodopsin (BR) from H. salinarum. For both these membrane proteins, quantitative comparisons of the measured protein structures on glass versus mica substrates show agreement. An additional advantage of glass is that lipid coverage is rapid (< 10 minutes) and complete (occupying the entire surface). A goal is to study the bacterial export system using recently developed precision measurement techniques such as ultra-stable AFM. Why use glass as a substrate?  Typical AFM substrates mica and HOPG exhibit birefringence, complicating optical paths  Many well established biological and biochemical assays like FRAP, FRET, Fluorescence Microscopy, FIONA and TIRF require transparent and optically homogeneous substrates  Recently developed techniques like US-AFM4, 3D AFM and polarization anisotropy methods require transparent substrates and non-birefringence due to polarization based detection  Amorphous and optically homogeneous substrates like glass enable coupling AFM with advanced imaging techniques2 Heights of SecYEG Potential Applications Raw glass vs. KOH treated glass References Acknowledgements This work was supported by the National Science Foundation (CAREER Award #:1054832), the Burroughs Wellcome Fund (Career Award at the Scientific Interface) and the MU Research Board.

Using Tolkien's Calendar as a resource in science classes. Javier Vaquero-Martínez Methodology After 2000 years: Gregorian has counted +15 h; hobbit only -9 h! Results and Conclusions Drawbacks of the hobbit calendar:  More variability: the period of 1000 year make differences fluctuate more  Two leap years (end and beginning of millenia) in a row. Introduction The hobbit Calendar (same for every year!) Advantages of the hobbit calendar:  Better coincidence in mean year duration.  Same weekdays every year! Gregorian calendar - Years of 365 days - Every 4th year: leap year - Every 100th year: no leap year - Every 400th year: leap year again Hobbit calendar - Years of 365 days - Every 4th year: leap year - Every 100th year: no leap year - 1st and last year in a millenium: leap year again Calendar comparison Calendars: - Fundamental for societies - A measurement of time based on a pattern: a periodic event - Periodic event: position of the Sun (tropical year). - They are full of astronomy! Tolkien legendarium: - Tolkien created a realistic world, with geography, languages...and calendars! - Tolkien created different calendars. We focus on the hobbit calendar (described in LOTR Appendix). - Motivation for students: fantasy by Tolkien is specially popular since Peter Jackson films, and lately thanks to “The Rings of Power” TV show. Results Conclusions A way to increase curiosity about: ●- The solar system. ●- The difficulties of creating a calendar. ●- The difference between tropical and sidereal year. Think about the physical meaning of solstices, equinoxes and their importance in our lives (seasons, climate, agriculture,...) COULD WE IMPROVE THE HOBBIT AND GREGORIAN CALENDAR IN CLASS?

Foi realizada uma tomografia computadorizada do phantom e criado um deslocamento nominal de +30mm nas direções lateral, vertical e longitudinal. O registro entre as imagens de radiografias digitalmente reconstruídas (DRR) e as imagens radiografia computadorizada (CR) resultou em valores de deslocamento do CR (medido) em relação ao DRR (nominal) menor que 1 mm. Os resultados mostraram-se promissores, mas uma investigação aprofundada é necessária para avaliar todo o potencial do método. Palavras-chave: radioterapia; registro de imagem; microsserviço; software. Abstract: The objective of the study is to describe the application of the image registration algorithm developed in a microservice in the RT Connect software. The experiment was performed using a pelvic phantom.A computed tomography scan of the phantom was performed and a nominal displacement of +30mm was created in the lateral, vertical and longitudinal directions. The registration between the digitally reconstructed radiography (DRR) images and the computed radiography (CR) images resulted in values of displacement of the CR (measured) in relation to the DRR (nominal) of less than 1 mm. The results were promising, but an in-depth investigation is needed to evaluate the full potential of the method. Keywords: radiotherapy; image registration; microservice; software. Introdução: O registro de imagens determina a transformação geométrica que relaciona pontos idênticos em duas séries de imagem (móvel e fixa), por isso, é uma etapa fundamental no processo de fusão. O registro rígido preserva a distância entre todos os pontos da imagem1,2. Nas aplicações de radioterapia, os registros de imagem são eficazes no monitoramento do deslocamento do paciente2. Para garantir a reprodutibilidade, podem ser utilizadas ferramentas que possibilitem a fusão de imagens tridimensionais (3D) com bidimensionais (2D), como propõe o software comercial RT Connect que possui um sistema para gestão das informações clínicas, cálculo de dose para verificação do planejamento, e visualização dos planos. O objetivo do estudo é descrever a aplicação do algoritmo de registro rígido desenvolvido em um microsserviço no software RT Connect por meio de um experimento com um phantom pélvico. Métodos: Para avaliar o método proposto, foram utilizadas imagens de um phantom pélvico da marca Brainlab o qual foi tomografado e posteriormente foram adquiridas imagens de radiografia computadorizada (CR) do mesmo utilizando um acelerador linear da marca Siemens modelo Primus nas angulações 0 e 270 graus. O conjunto de dados de teste foram produzidos fixando os valores de deslocamento nas direções: lateral, vertical e longitudinal, com os valores de deslocamento nominais de +30mm, +30mm e +30mm. Exemplos dessas imagens e do setup são mostrados na Figura 1. A imagem de tomografia é carregada no microsserviço que realiza a reconstrução da série de imagens 3D em duas radiografias digitalmente reconstruídas (DRR's) nos ângulos 0° e 270° na dimensão 2D utilizando o método proposto por Dong et al.3 A imagem CR é re-escalada para a mesma dimensão do DRR e são corrigidas as rotações provenientes de erros

Countermea- sures in current threat modeling approaches are mostly modeled as a boolean: either they are implemented, or they are not. This does not allow to take into account potential design flaws for the countermeasure itself. A considerable number of security issues is, however, related to the wrong or incomplete application of common security tactics. For example, the effectiveness of audit logs drops if the data written to the logs is not sanitized. In this paper, we describe our novel approach which aims to systematically and automatically identify common security design flaws. Index Terms—Threat modeling, CWE, Security-by-design 1. Introduction Security and privacy by design principles are becom- ing increasingly important to develop secure software systems. Indeed, insecure design is one of the most critical software risks according to the OWASP Top 10 2021 [1], and adhering to security and privacy by design principles is even obligated by regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) [2]. Threat modeling provides a systematic approach to analyze the security and privacy of a software design, thereby allowing potential threats to be identified early on in the development lifecycle. The first step of a threat modeling exercise involves creating a model of the system being analyzed, usually as a Data Flow Diagram (DFD). The DFD notation comprises just five elements, namely processes, data stores, external entities, data flows and trust boundaries. That model can then be analyzed to identify potential security threats. Tool support for auto- matic threat elicitation based on machine-readable system models is widespread, and new techniques are being de- veloped rapidly [3]. Common threat elicitation methods used by these tools are based on STRIDE (an acronym for spoofing, tampering, information disclosure, denial of service and elevation of privilege), but more specific types of threats or attacks such as CAPEC, CWE or CVE entries are also identified by some [4]. The next step of a threat modeling exercise is to miti- gate the identified threats by introducing countermeasures. This often involves standard tactics, for example using logging to mitigate repudiation threats [5]. Applying such tactics in a design requires careful consideration of their precise requirements and assumptions. For example, data written to audit logs should be sanitized (CWE-1171), and should not contain sensitive information such as creden- tials (CWE-5322). Ideally, design flaws which violate such requirements should be flagged automatically. One of the underlying issues which prevents this type of analyses is that most threat modeling tools [6] only allow to capture the effect of a countermeasure, and not how countermeasures are included in a design or which el- ements are involved [7]. For example, a repudiation threat could be marked as mitigated in the Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool [6], but there is no support to explicitly capture the countermeasure which mitigates the threat. To allow tracing back why and how threats are mitigated, Sion et al. [7] extended the DFD notation with a first-class representation for countermeasures. For example, a log- ging countermeasure can be explicitly added to the system model, allowing tool support to automatically mark certain repudiation threats as mitigated. In our novel approach, we leverage this explicit countermeasure information to automatically identify flaws rooted in the design of the count

— 712 717 Celebration & Contemplation, 10th International Conference on Design & Emotion 27 — 30 September 2016, Amsterdam Abstract In collaboration with the Italian design company Serralunga, this project was developed as a research on new expressive qualities for plastics. The goal was to convey a feeling of impermanence through the surface of plastics, thus reducing the perception of a timeless perfection. Among synthetic materials, plastics are characterized by an unnatural aging, which can occur in two ways. They can be immune to traces, resulting as unrealistic and ‘always-perfect’. Alternatively, they can crack, break, and sallow, often degrading their aesthetic value. The inability to mature gracefully contributes to the overall association of plastic artifacts to cheap and disposable products. Thus, plastic artifacts are scarcely the targets of users’ affective attachment, ultimately shortening their lifespans. The point of departure of this project was then the possibility to make plastics grow traces of time and usage. The resulting concepts aim at increasing users’ emotional attachment to artifacts, linking our stories to theirs. By undertaking a collaborative process, the designer, together with company experts, explored different design directions, to achieve several outcomes that are depicted in this pictorial.

What is ‘circular economy’? Circular economy aims at circulating and recirculating resources, minimizing waste and enhancing resource efficiency. BREAKING DOWN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY 2 1 In a circular system resource input and waste, emission, and energy leakage are minimized by closing energy and material loops. This can be achieved through: long lasting design, maintenance, repair, reuse, remanufacturing, refurbishing, recycling and converting outputs into inputs.[1] This regenerative approach is in contrast to the traditional linear economy, which has a 'take, make, dispose' model of production.[2] 3 One early mention was by Kenneth Boulding in 1966 when he raised awareness of what he called a “spaceship economy” or a "closed economy", in which resources remain as long as possible a part of the economy, as compared with the conventional "open economy" with assumed unlimited resources.[3] [1] Geissdoerfer, Martin; Savaget, Paulo; Bocken, Nancy M.

Data collection. The project is in progress, and phases 4 and 5 will be completed before the deadline for camera ready submissions on 1st May 2016. Cultural context and related research Our investigation is especially pertinent given the proliferation of unboxing videos on social media over the last decade. Unboxing videos record the act of taking a new product out of its packaging for the first time, to show the material reality of its features and functions, undistorted by the product’s marketing. The videos make a ceremony out of breaking into a sealed package, and invite an online audience to enjoy the material sensuality of the ‘reveal’. The videos emphasise the anticipation and newness of the product, a little like opening a Christmas gift. By focusing on re-packaging used goods, we relate our research to other projects exploring methods of encouraging consumers to embrace acquiring pre-used products. Post notably this includes the work carried out by Traid (Traid 2016), a charity actively working to challenge perceptions of second hand clothing, and ToTem (Speed and MacDonald, 2013), an academic project which included work with Oxfam to explore methods for transferring the narrative and meaning of a pre-owned product from one user to the next. A third example, from the commercial sector, is Poundland’s “Replay” scheme, which refreshes, re-packages and re-sells pre-owned music discs (see Figure 1). Abstract Thinking Keeping is a creative, practice-based enquiry into the irreversible act of ‘breaking in’ to a sealed package. Breaking open a product’s packaging structures the user’s first experiences of owning the product, and reinforces perceptions of the product’s newness, perfection and desirability. It is a pivotal stage in the emotional lifetime of a product. Through creative methods we are subverting the experience of ‘breaking the seal’, by applying it to products that have already been owned and used. Our enquiry raises questions about the potential of packaging to overcome barriers to reuse, to help construct meaningful lasting relationships with products, and to challenge the desire for newness. We intend to expose contradictions in how consumers value, keep and destroy packaging. The research brings a new angle to research relating design to practices of keeping things and sustainable consumption (e.g. Chapman 2005, Fisher and Shipton 2010, Schifferstein et al 2008). Design can play a key role in influencing consumers’ relationships to their possessions, and designers are in a position to propose powerful ways of rethinking the relationship through creative, practice-based approaches. Our explorations are structured around sketching, prototyping, and data collection via exhibition. Working without the constraints of a commercial brief means that we can develop concepts that subvert expectations, and whose ambiguity prompts reflection and speculation. Thinking Keeping is a collaboration between a product designer, a packaging designer, and a jewellery designer.

Lessons from the South Iain Chambers When mass protests and regime changes swept across North Africa in the Spring of 2011, and subsequently triggered turbulence in Bahrain and a bloody civil war presently being waged in Syria, Occidental journalism and political commentary was initially taken by surprise. The status quo – and not only for Arab dictators – had seemingly crumbled overnight. The situation was eventually brought into perspective and under Western eyes through a series of explanatory frames – educated unemployed youth, the new social media, state oppression and the lack of democracy – that responded to Occidental criteria of analysis. Of course, in the contemporary conditions of planetary modernity all is somehow connected, nothing takes place in a vacuum, and the languages, technologies and ideologies of the West clearly played a significant role. However, rather than measure such events – their perceived achievements and failures – against a presumed Occidental template it is perhaps politically and historically more significant to register the emergence of a series of interrogations that invest both the protagonists and those of us observing from afar. It is also important at this point to register that the processes and procedures under discussion are still very much in progress: the question of rights and liberties – social, political, human – remain open, the subject of discussion, debate and continuing struggle. A previous political landscape, which had been thoroughly endorsed by Western powers and diplomacy, is clearly in ruins. The assumption that only the Occidental ‘we’ has the right to define ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’ has clearly been rendered vulnerable to unsuspected historical operations and cultural forces. What emerge from this picture are critical prospects that criss-cross the Mediterranean, rendering proximate its northern and southern shores, shredding the confines between Occident and Orient. When the terms of political, historical and cultural freedom are exposed – for whom, where, when and how? – a whole critical lexicon comes under review. The assumed temporality of political and historical progress, the accumulative power of its linear development, is skewed into another space in which modernity is neither mono-dimensional nor homogeneous. The downfall of Mubarak, the daily protests in Tahrir Square, were not simply Egyptian matters. Their resonance was not restricted merely to the Arab world. A political lexicon that many consider to be complete and fully achieved in the governing bodies and institutional authorities of the West has been reopened and newly researched, traversed and translated. Understandings of the individual, the public sphere, political agency, religion, secularism and the state, suddenly become vulnerable to renegotiation in events that rudely punctuate flawless abstractions. As we, too, are learning, nothing is guaranteed. Rights and freedoms can be rolled back. In the name of security, driven by the imperatives of governance, there can always occur a turn in the screw. In a world that increasingly does not recognise human beings, only citizens and subjects, the categories that supposedly secure the polis are always open to unsuspected interpretation, redefinition, contestation and ideological spin. Our conceptual securities become the agonistic sites of historical processes and cultural struggle that do not necessarily mirror the critical and political imperatives of the West. What is presently occurring in North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean – in Egypt, Israel or Syria – throws an interrogating light across the West that in multiple ways is responsible for the powers and possibilities in play.

Poster: The impact of data sampling in the anonymization pipeline Jenno Verdonck, Kevin De Boeck, Michiel Willocx, Jorn Lapon, Vincent Naessens imec-DistriNet KU Leuven Ghent, Belgium firsname.lastname@kuleuven.be Abstract—An increasing number of companies are selling data as an additional source of revenue, or acquire data from other parties to optimize their business. In many cases, the shared data contains sensitive personal records. According to the GDPR regulation, personal data should be anonymized before it is released to third parties. A frequently applied technique is the k-anonymity metric, which ensures that every record in the dataset becomes indistinguishable from K other records through data generalization. This work combines generalization techniques with sampling. By adding a sampling step in the anonymization pipeline, additional uncertainty is introduced towards a potential attacker. As attackers can no longer be sure that an in- dividual is in the sampled dataset, the re-identification risk is mitigated. This work proposes and evaluates multiple sam- pling techniques. Both the privacy and the utility properties of the anonymized datasets are embraced. The utility of the anonymized datasets is further evaluated in a machine learning use-case. Index Terms—anonymization, sampling, privacy, utility 1. Introduction Data collection and processing have become aspects of increasing importance in the daily operation of many businesses and organizations. Amongst others, data is employed for optimizing production processes and to in- crease the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. Hence, sharing (or trading) data can be very lucrative, and might even bootstrap cooperation between organizations. While data sharing exposes great opportunities for companies, caution should be taken. First, the European GDPR regu- lation states that datasets containing personal information should be anonymized before they are released. This means that a record in the shared dataset can no longer be linked to an individual afterwards. Second, thoughtless release can undermine the competitiveness of companies. Anonymization techniques can be applied to mitigate these threats. An often cited and applied strategy for data anonymization relies on privacy metrics such as k- anonymity [1]. The goal of this metric is to generalize attribute values in such a way that each individual be- comes indistinguishable from at least k −1 other indi- viduals in the dataset. However, constructing a feasible anonymized dataset is no sinecure for most organizations. Some information is inevitably lost during anonymization caused by generalization. Hence, companies often struggle to find a satisfactory balance between the privacy and the utility of an anonymized dataset. Moreover, solely applying k-anonymity does not always protect against attackers with membership knowledge, a key assumption in the prosecutor attacker model [2]. This work argues that the aforementioned risk is mitigated by applying an additional sampling step in the anonymization pipeline. An attacker can no longer be sure that the target is in the dataset, making it harder to re-identify individuals. The prosecutor becomes a journalist, corresponding to the also well-known but less powerful journalist attacker model. Contributions. This paper presents preliminary results of our research on combining traditional anonymization tech- niques (i.e. k-anonymity) and sampling. Three different sampling strategies are presented, implemented and as- sessed. The impact of each strategy on both the utility and the privacy properties of the remaining data is evaluated in a practical machine-learning use-case. The remainder of this work is structured as follows. Section 2 points to related work. Section 3 describes different sampling strategies. Thereafter, Section 4 details the evaluation methodology. Lastly, Section 5 outlines the conclusions and points to future work. 2. Related work Sampling has been t

For this reason, the current work aims at presenting combination of micro-computed tomography (µCT), thermomagnetic analysis (TMA) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) as a supplementary approach for the SEM-based automated mineralogy (AM). To this end, an H2- reduced bauxite residue was characterized in this research work to identify its complex compositions. Further, the sample was subjected to different magnetic (Slon®, Davis Tube) and gravity (Mozley Table) separators feasibly examine iron recoverability from the H2-reduced sample. The qualitative results obtained from µCT showed that the reduced bauxite residue (red mud) was composed of only magnetite disseminated in fine grain sizes. It was well correlated with the AM outcomes. Further, coupled information of TMA, XRD and µ-CT provided complementary results for the secondary type materials, which was very useful for downstream processes (i.e., magnetic and gravity separations). The experimental results obtained for the applied separators disclosed that the Mozley Table could potentially increase the Fe content from 21-23% to 31%, with the mass recovery of 52%. Test results using the Slon® at 1000 G displayed almost similar Fe content (33%) with the maximum mass recovery of 80%. Applying the single stage Davis Tube at a lower magnetic intensity of 2500 G showed around 18% improvement in the Fe grade (from 22 to 40%), while the mass recovery was the lowest (22%) among all the equipment tested. It was finally highlighted that multi-stage medium magnetic separation followed with one-two scavenging and cleaning stages can potentially elevate the grade and recovery of iron.

The current case study refers to such an industrial compressor re-vamping, using a state of the art 3D fully viscous CFD methodology coupled with artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GA). The ANN is used to establish correlations within a database of CFD simulations of geometrical variations of the original rotor and the GA uses those correlations to estimate an optimum. The estimate is then tested with the same CFD method and the results are fed back into the database, increasing the accuracy of the ANN correlations. The process is reiterated until the optimum estimated by the GA is confirmed with the CFD simulations. The resulting geometry is superior to the original in terms of efficiency and pressure ratio as well as the range of stabile operation, as confirmed by the successful implementation in the field. In this paper we present an analysis of why the optimized geometry achieves superior performances to the original one. Further work will present comparison between the detailed experimental data and CFD. Keywords-optimization; CFD; turbomachinery; centrifugal compressor; artifficial neural network; genetic algorithm I. INTRODUCTION Current competiveness requirements in the turbo-machinery industry call for increased operational qualities of the final product. Using modern CFD methods, a tailored made solution, which considers more than one criteria, can be obtained and solution customization can be obtained. This paper presents a re-vamping, optimization case study for a high pressure compressor stage used in the petrol industry. The design theme demanded for a 10 percent increase in mass flow as well as an increase in the isentropic efficiency while maintaining the same outlet diameter, height and rotor aspect ratio. From the start this will imply that the flow coefficient will be increased and that the specific wheel speed is decreased, making it less optimal according to traditional design theories. Since neither the slip factor nor the jet-wake paradigms allow the design of such a stage, unless the models incorporate more elaborate stochastic models, the case study must be carried out using fully viscous numerical simulations. In this particular case, the optimization study was carried out in two steps, firstly using an in-house goal driven method and finally the Numeca Design 3D commercial package. In the first re-vamping stage, both the rotor and stator were reshaped using conventional 2D methods coupled with the in- house stochastic correlations. This process of the stage re- design also incorporates a primary optimization of the two blade rows. Version 15 (V15) represents the preliminary result of the re -vamping with the Euler in-house code [1]. Intuitively, in designing V15 two key aspects were targeted, namely maintaining the specific speed at the highest possible value while preventing flow separation and, secondly, diminishing the machine Mach number – which was thought as a source of loss. Both those targets were proven to be misguided since V25 actually has a higher machine Mach number and a lower specific speed. Paradoxically it seems that minimizing and maximizing isol


Poster: MaSTer: (Practically) Maliciously Secure Truncation for Replicated Secret Sharing Martin Zbudila Erik Pohle Aysajan Abidin Bart Preneel imec-COSIC, KU Leuven Belgium firstname.lastname@esat.kuleuven.be Abstract—Secure multi-party computation (MPC) in a three-party honest majority scenario is cur- rently the state-of-the-art for running machine learning algorithms in a privacy-preserving man- ner. For efficiency reasons, fixed-point arithmetic is widely used to approximate computation over decimal numbers. In this poster we present a work- in-progress efficient three-party maliciously secure truncation protocol without pre-processing, thereby improving on the current state-of-the-art in MPC over rings using replicated secret sharing (RSS). 1. Introduction Machine learning (ML) and AI dominate the world of data processing, and the need to preserve the privacy of both the model owners’ and users’ data becomes an important objective. Numerous works on privacy-preserving machine learning use advanced cryptographic techniques such as secure multi-party computation (MPC) [2]–[4] to enable confidential training and inference of various machine learning models. In MPC, the state-of-the-art is computation in the three-party setting with honest majority. A key component in evaluating ML algo- rithms over MPC is the efficient computation on secret-shared decimal numbers. Since true float- ing point arithmetic is expensive, an approxima- tion, namely fixed-point arithmetic, is employed. Here, the decimal number is encoded with fixed precision as an integer where the integer size is chosen to accommodate the expected range. Multiplication of two fixed-point integers doubles the length of the fractional part and thus requires efficient truncation afterwards to retain the origi- nal precision. For efficient secret sharing in MPC, the integer is represented in a ring. SecureML [3] first proposed a technique allowing truncation by local operations on the shares in a two-party setting in semi-honest security. The current state- of-the-art three-party maliciously secure trunca- tion was proposed by ABY3 [2], and adopted by follow up works such as Falcon [4]. In the online phase, this truncation requires only one round of communication and only one ring element sent per party. However, the pre-processing phase in- volves a costly evaluation of subtraction circuits, resulting in lower combined throughput. In this poster, we report on a work-in-progress protocol that computes the truncation of fixed- point numbers without pre-processing securely in the presence of one malicious adversary in the three-party setting. Our protocol achieves an overall low cost of two rounds of communication and one ring element sent per party. Idea. Our protocol is based on the two-party trun- cation from SecureML [3]. We first run a semi- honest truncation in the first round and repeat the semi-honest truncation a second time but with a different subset of parties. Finally, the output of the second round is used to verify that no malicious behaviour tampered the result obtained in the first round. In the following, we briefly present necessary preliminaries in Sect. 2 and describe our protocol for truncation in Sect. 3. 2. Preliminaries We begin by presenting the notation used throughout this poster, and discuss related work. 2.1.

The webinar has highlighted achievements and activities of various European and International Standards Developing Organisations in promoting diversity, and encouraged more women to actively engage in the field of ICT Standardisation. Esteemed representatives from leading European and International Standards Developing Organisations have been invited to share their expertise and experiences in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in ICT standardisation, as well as their contributions to standards development in various ICT technological domains. The audience for this webinar encompassed ICT specialists and professionals, representatives from standard developing organisations, members of research institutes working in ICT standard development, representatives of national standards associations, and civil society organisations involved in the promotion of women in STEM disciplines and education. The webinar emphasised the significant role of ICT standardisation in various sectors beyond the ICT industry itself. Vertical domains like healthcare, transportation, energy, and finance heavily rely on ICT standards to develop and operate their products and services. Standards facilitate interoperability and data exchange, contributing to improved patient safety in healthcare and enhanced safety and efficiency in transportation. Despite progress, the gender gap in ICT standardisation remains a challenge, impacting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the field. The lively debate, inspiring insights and post-event interactions with the very committed and engaged panel and audience are the most encouragi


Investigation of the external validity of the 2004 German Science Foundation author contribution calculation recommendation for medical schools’ performance-based funding systems Paul Donner* *donner@dzhw.eu ORCID: 0000-0001-5737-8483 Department 2 ‘Research System and Science Dynamics’, German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW), Germany This study examines how well an idiosyncratic authorship counting rule for co-authored publications recommended by the German Science Foundation (DFG) for medical schools and widely used in performance- based funding systems aligns with the empirical evidence. The DFG rule and two other co-author credit rules are compared with empirical data of percentage contribution statements of authors of co-authored papers in medicine. 1. Introduction For the past decades, bibliometrically informed performance-based funding systems (PBFS) have been established and became entrenched at medical schools in Germany. These systems are used to partially allocate shares of block funding from the federal states internally to subunits of a medical school. As there is no central evaluation authority, medical schools have been free to design and implement systems according to their own preferences for criteria, weights, rules, and so on, so that there is now considerable diversity of systems across schools. Practically all of them involve the counting of publications or impact factor points of publications in some way, alongside other criteria, with the intention of rewarding and encouraging internationally competitive academic research. In 2004 the Senate Commission for Clinical Research of the German Science Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG), the largest and most science-politically influential research funding organization in Germany, published a recommendation for the design of PBFS at German medical schools (DFG, 2004) which would prove quite consequential. In the following years, many medical schools adjusted their systems to align with the DFG recommendations and newly established systems also often followed them. The DFG made several recommendations, including the use of 3-year running averages for calculations, distributing 20–40 % of the block funding competitively, using obtained third- party funding and publications as criteria, discouraging criteria which in their opinion do not directly reflect a unit’s own research performance (completed PhDs and habilitations, patents, offices held, book chapters, editorships, and others). Concerning publications, the recommendations criticized the exclusive use of Journal Impact Factors (p. 14) and instead promoted the development of adequate methods to judge the scientific quality of individual publications. However, it left open the back door by allowing to use Impact Factors in a ‘surrogate manner’ in the ‘intervening time’ until such methods have been developed. Furthermore, with the stated intention to prevent excessive multiple counting of the same paper by several subunits by simply including more co-authors to manipulate such a procedure, it was recommended to count first authors with a weight of one third of the Impact Factor score, last authors also with one third, and to split the remaining third among all other ‘middle’ authors (p. 15). This somewhat idiosycratic rule was not justified by any reference to published
