ethp2psim: Evaluating and deploying privacy-enhanced peer-to-peer routing protocols for the Ethereum network

Network-level privacy is the Achilles heel of financial privacy in cryptocurrencies. Financial privacy amounts to achieving and maintaining blockchain- and network-level privacy. Blockchain-level privacy recently received substantial attention. Specifically, several privacy-enhancing technologies were proposed and deployed to enhance blockchain-level privacy. On the other hand, network-level privacy, i.e., privacy on the peer-to-peer layer, has seen far less attention and development. In this work, we aim to provide a peer-to-peer network simulator, ethp2psim, that allows researchers to evaluate the privacy guarantees of privacy-enhanced broadcast and message routing algorithms. Our goal is two-fold. First, we want to enable researchers to implement their proposed protocols in our modular simulator framework. Second, our simulator allows researchers to evaluate the privacy guarantees of privacy-enhanced routing algorithms. Finally, ethp2psim can help choose the right protocol parameters for efficient, robust, and private deployment

Effects of Acute and Sustained Pain Manipulations on Performance in a Visual‐Signal Detection Task of Attention in Rats

Preclinical ResearchPatients with pain often display cognitive impairment including deficits in attention. The visual‐signal detection task (VSDT) is a behavioral procedure for assessment of attention in rodents. Male Sprague Dawley rats were trained in a VSDT and tested with three different noxious stimuli: (i) intraperitoneal injection of lactic acid; (ii) intraplantar injection of formalin; and (iii) intraplantar injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist, scopolamine was also tested as a positive control. Scopolamine (0.01–1.0 mg/kg) dose dependently reduced accuracy and increased response latencies during completed trials with higher scopolamine doses increasing omissions. Lactic acid (0.56–5.6% ip) also increased response latencies and omissions, although it failed to alter measures of response accuracy. Formalin produced a transient decrease in accuracy while also increasing both response latency and omissions. CFA failed to alter VSDT performance. Although VSDT effects were transient for formalin and absent for CFA, both treatments produced mechanical allodynia and paw edema for up to 7 days. These results support the potential for noxious stimuli to produce a pain‐related disruption of attention in rats. However, relatively strong noxious stimulation appears necessary to disrupt performance in this version of the VSDT.

Future projections of extreme cold events in southeastern southamerica as reproduced by HadCM3 model

Las simulaciones del modelo HadCM3 fueron de las primeras disponibles para el análisis de proyecciones futuras, reflejándose en la literatura que describe principalmente variables de temperatura y precipitación para Sudamérica. El objetivo de ese trabajo es investigar los cambios en la circulación atmosférica en el sudeste de Sudamérica asociada a eventos extremos fríos, en el escenario de emisiones futuras más crítico denominado A2, para el periodo 2081-2100 respecto a un periodo climatológico de referencia 1961-1990, considerando el modelo HadCM3 y los datos del reanálisis NCEP/NCAR. A partir de la temperatura media diaria en 850 hPa, se identifican los eventos de temperatura negativa para los meses de mayo a septiembre, componiéndose los cinco eventos más extremos para tres áreas que incluyen la Pampa Húmeda (área 1), Uruguay y sur de Brasil (área 2), la parte oriental de Paraguay, norte de Argentina y sur de Brasil (área 3).Los patrones de circulación son analizados tanto para el reanálisis como para las simulaciones en el clima presente y futuro. Los resultados muestran para el clima presente que el modelo simula la incursión de las isotermas de 0°C más al norte respecto del reanálisis, a excepción del área 3 que limita con los trópicos, con anomalías negativas de temperatura más intensas y más extensas en términos latitudinales. A pesar que las configuraciones de los campos de presión sean similaresal reanálisis, se aprecia una mayor penetración del anticiclón continental, a excepción del área 3, con una intensificación de las anomalías en las respectivas áreas. El modelo también tiende a simular una componente de viento del sur más intensa en 850 hPa y captura la profunda vaguada sobre el continente en niveles altos con el jet subtropical bien configurado, típico de estos eventos extremos. En el escenario futuro, el modelo no proyecta eventos extremos de temperatura por debajo de 0°C para el área 3, restringiendo la incursión de la isoterma de 0° C a latitudes más al sur en las otras dos áreas respecto a la simulación en el clima presente, en concordancia con el aumento de temperatura media que el modelo proyecta para Sudamérica.The simulations with the HadCM3 model were among the first available to analyze future projections. This is reflected in the literature, which mainly describes the variables temperature and precipitation for South America. The aim of this paper is to investigate the changes in the atmospheric circulation over southeastern South America associated to extreme cold events in the most critical future emission scenario A2 for the period 2081-2100, with respect to the climatological reference period 1961-1990. To do that the HadCM3 model is used as well as the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis. Were identified the five most extreme events of daily mean negative temperature in 850 hPa from May to September over three areas: Wet Pampa (area 1), Uruguay and southern Brazil (area 2), eastern Paraguay, northern Argentina and southern Brazil (area 3). The obtained circulation patterns are analyzed in both, the reanalysis and the HadCM3 simulations of the present and future climate. In the present climate, with the exception of the area 3 that borders the tropics, the model simulates a more extended northward incursion of the 0oC isotherm than the reanalysis. It also shows more intense negative temperature anomalies, which have more latitudinal extension. Despite the fact that the configurations of the pressure fields are similar to that of the reanalysis, except for the area 3, a further inland penetration of the continental anticyclone is appreciated, with an intensification of the anomalies over the respective areas. The model also tends to simulate a more intense 850 hPa southerly wind component, capturing the high level deep trough over the continent and displaying a properly configured subtropical jet, which is typical of these extreme events. In the future scenario, the model does not project extreme cold events of below 0oC temperatures for area 3. The model also restricts the incursion of the 0oC isotherm to more southerly latitudes in the other two areas with respect to the simulation of the present climate. These facts are consistent with the mean temperature increase projected by the model for South America.Fil: Müller, Gabriela V.. Provincia de Entre Ríos.

Feasibility of community-based control of tsetse: A pilot project using Tiny Targets in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Gambianse Human African Trypanosomiasis (g-HAT) is a neglected tropical disease caused by trypanosomes transmitted by tsetse flies. 70%Most (>80%) of the cases in 2019 (604/863) occur in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). and Thea national programme for g-HAT to eliminatione HAT in DRC includes athe large-scale deployment of Tiny Targets which attract and kill tsetse. This intervention is directed by vector-control specialists with small teams, moving in canoes, deploying Tiny Targets along riverbanks where tsetse concentrate. While the targets are deployed in communal areas, and the method is cheap and easy-to-use, local people have little involvement. This study aimed to evaluate if a community-led vector control programme was feasible in the context of DRC’s g-HAT elimination programme

Automatic Routing System for Intelligent Warehouses

Automation of logistic processes is essential to improve productivity and reduce costs. In this context, intelligent warehouses are becoming a key to logistic systems thanks to their ability of optimizing transportation tasks and, consequently, reducing costs. This paper initially presents briefly routing systems applied on intelligent warehouses. Then, we present the approach used to develop our router system. This router system is able to solve traffic jams and collisions, generate conflict-free and optimized paths before sending the final paths to the robotic forklifts. It also verifies the progress of all tasks. When a problem occurs, the router system can change the task priorities, routes, etc. in order to avoid new conflicts. In the routing simulations, each vehicle executes its tasks starting from a predefined initial pose, moving to the desired position. Our algorithm is based on Dijkstra's shortest path and the time window approaches and it was implemented in C language. Computer simulation tests were used to validate the algorithm efficiency under different working conditions. Several simulations were carried out using the Player/Stage Simulator to test the algorithms. Thanks to the simulations, we could solve many faults and refine the algorithms before embedding them in real robots.Comment: 2010 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, International workshop on Robotics and Intelligent Transportation System, Full Day Workshop, May 7th 2010, Anchorage, Alaska.
