Hybrid TSR-PSR in nonlinear EH half duplex network: system performance analy...IJECEIAES
Nowadays, harvesting energy (EH) from green environmental sources and converting this energy into the electrical energy used in purpose to supply the communication network devices is considered the main research direction. In this research, we investigate the hybrid TSR-PSR Nonlinear Energy Harvesting (EH) Half-duplex (HD) Relaying network in terms of the Success Probability (SP). For this purpose, we derive the integral-form of the system SP. In addition, we use the Monte Carlo simulation for verifying the correctness of the analytical expression. We can see in the research results that all the simulation and analytical values are the same in connection with all primary system parameters.
Discrete-wavelet-transform recursive inverse algorithm using second-order est...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The recursive-least-squares (RLS) algorithm was introduced as an alternative to LMS algorithm with enhanced performance. Computational complexity and instability in updating the autocolleltion matrix are some of the drawbacks of the RLS algorithm that were among the reasons for the intrduction of the second-order recursive inverse (RI) adaptive algorithm. The 2nd order RI adaptive algorithm suffered from low convergence rate in certain scenarios that required a relatively small initial step-size. In this paper, we propose a newsecond-order RI algorithm that projects the input signal to a new domain namely discrete-wavelet-transform (DWT) as pre step before performing the algorithm. This transformation overcomes the low convergence rate of the second-order RI algorithm by reducing the self-correlation of the input signal in the mentioned scenatios. Expeirments are conducted using the noise cancellation setting. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared to those of the RI, original second-order RI and RLS algorithms in different Gaussian and impulsive noise environments. Simulations demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm in terms of convergence rate comparedto those algorithms.

In this paper, the underlay cognitive radio network over mix fading environment is presented and investigated. A cooperative cognitive system with a secondary source node S, a secondary destination node D, secondary relay node Relay, and a primary node P are considered. In this model system, we consider the mix fading environment in two scenarios as Rayleigh/ Nakagami-m and Nakagami-m/Rayleigh Fading channels. For system performance analysis, the closed-form expression of the system outage probability (OP) and the integral-formed expression of the ergodic capacity (EC) are derived in connection with the system's primary parameters. Finally, we proposed the Monte Carlo simulation for convincing the correctness of the system performance.

Joint Time Delay and Frequency Estimation (JTDFE) problem of complex sinusoidal signals received at
two separated sensors is an attractive problem that has been considered for several engineering
applications. In this paper, a high resolution null (noise) subspace method without eigenvalue
decomposition is proposed. The direct data Matrix is replaced by an upper triangular matrix obtained from
Rank-Revealing LU (RRLU) factorization. The RRLU provides accurate information about the rank and the
numerical null space which make it a valuable tool in numerical linear algebra.The proposed novel method
decreases the computational complexity of JTDFE approximately to the half compared with RRQR
methods. The proposed method generates estimates of the unknown parameters which are based on the
observation and/or covariance matrices. This leads to a significant improvement in the computational load.

This paper deals with the problem of undesired memory effects in nonlinear digital filters owing to the influence of past excitations on future outputs. The nonlinearities under consideration cover the usual types of overflow arithmetic employed in practice. Based on the Hankel norm performance, a new criterion is proposed to ensure the reduction of undesired memory effects in digital filters with overflow arithmetic. In absence of external input, the nonexistence of overflow oscillations is also confirmed by the proposed criterion. A numerical example together with simulation result showing the effectiveness of the criterion is given.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

3. Introduction
Two-way finite automata is similar to finite automata, except that it can read the input in either
direction left-to-right or right-or-left.
The 2FA machines have a read head that can move in any direction from the current position to
either left or right according to state transition function.
5. Formal Definition of Two way DFA
A two way deterministic finite automaton can be defined by 8-tuple.
M = (Q, ∑, ꜔, ˧, R, δ, s, t, r) where,
Q : Finite set of non empty states
∑ : Finite non empty set of input symbols
꜔: ꜔is left endmarker
˧ : ˧ is right endmarker
δ : Q X ( ∑ ⋃ {L, R}) ➙ Q X {left, right}
s : s 𝝐 Q is the start state
t : t 𝝐 Q is the accept state
r : r 𝝐 Q is the reject state, where r ≠ t
6. An Example of 2DFA
Consider a 2DFA M that behaves as follows starting in state q₀, M repeats a cycle of moves wherein the
tape head moves right until two ones have been countered then left until encountering a zero at which
point state q₀ is re-entered and the cycle repeated. More precisely M has three states all of which are
final state, δ is given as follows:
0 1
q₀ (q₀, R) (q₁, R)
q₁ (q₁, R) (q₂, L)
q₂ (q₀, R) (q₂, L)
7. An Example of 2DFA
Here, we can define 8 tuple as
Q = {q₀, q₁, q₂}
∑ = {0 , 1}
꜔, ˧ are left endmarker and right endmarker respectively
s = q₀
t = q₁
r = q₂
And state transition defined as given table
8. An Example of 2DFA
Input string is 101001
꜔ 1 0 1 0 0 1 ˧
꜔ 1 0 1 0 0 1 ˧
q₀
q₁
13. Conclusion
As we can notice the two way finite automata can read input in either right or left side so the automaton
is not same as 1DFA and automaton is like Turing machine but in read only manner so we can say that
The Two way finite automata works like read only Turing Machine.
