Efficient Scalar Multiplication for Ate Based Pairing over KSS Curve of Embed...Md. Al-Amin Khandaker Nipu
Efficiency of the next generation pairing based security pro- tocols rely not only on the faster pairing calculation but also on efficient scalar multiplication on higher degree rational points. In this paper we proposed a scalar multiplication technique in the context of Ate based pairing with Kachisa-Schaefer-Scott (KSS) pairing friendly curves with embedding degree k = 18 at the 192-bit security level. From the system- atically obtained characteristics p, order r and Frobenious trace t of KSS curve, which is given by certain integer z also known as mother parame- ter, we exploit the relation #E(Fp) = p+1−t mod r by applying Frobe- nius mapping with rational point to enhance the scalar multiplication. In addition we proposed z-adic representation of scalar s. In combination of Frobenious mapping with multi-scalar multiplication technique we ef- ficiently calculate scalar multiplication by s. Our proposed method can achieve 3 times or more than 3 times faster scalar multiplication com- pared to binary scalar multiplication, sliding-window and non-adjacent form method.
Using blurred images to assess damage in bridge structures?Alessandro Palmeri
Faster trains and augmented traffic have significantly increased the number and amplitude of loading cycles experienced on a daily basis by composite steel-concrete bridges. This higher demand accelerates the occurrence of damage in the shear connectors between the two materials, which in turn can severely affect performance and reliability of these structures. The aim of this talk is to present the preliminary results of theoretical and experimental investigations undertaken to assess the feasibility of using the envelope of deflections and rotations induced by moving loads as a practical and cost-effective alternative to traditional methods of health monitoring for composite bridges. Both analytical and numerical formulations for this dynamic problem are presented and the results of a parametric study are discussed. A novel photogrammetric approach is also introduced, which allows identifying vibration patterns in civil engineering structures by analysing blurred targets in long-exposure digital images. The initial experimental validation of this approach is presented and further challenges are highlighted.
Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.

Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

It consists of cw radar and fmcw radar ,range measurement,if amplifier and fmcw altimeterThe CW radar operates using continuous wave transmission, while the FMCW radar employs frequency-modulated continuous wave technology. Range measurement is a crucial aspect of radar systems, providing information about the distance to a target. The IF amplifier plays a key role in signal processing, amplifying intermediate frequency signals for further analysis. The FMCW altimeter utilizes frequency-modulated continuous wave technology to accurately measure altitude above a reference point.
