Its aim was to initiate the development of endangered natural wetland habitats and processes, accompanied by greater biodiversity in the former grassland dominated area. The monitoring of spatial and temporal variations of soil moisture in this dike relocation area is therefore particularly important for estimating the restoration success. The topsoil moisture monitoring from 1990 to 2017 is based on the Soil Moisture Index (SMI)1 derived with the triangle method2 by use of optical remotely sensed data: land surface temperature and Normalized Differnce Vegetation Index are calculated from Landsat 4/5/7/8 data and atmospheric corrected by use of MODIS data. Spatial and temporal soil moisture variations in the restored area of the dike relocation are compared to the agricultural and pasture area behind the new dike. Ground truth data in the dike relocation area was obtained from field measurements in October 2017 with a FDR device. Additionally, data from a TERENO soil moisture sensor network (SoilNet) and mobile cosmic ray neutron sensing (CRNS) rover measurements are compared to the results of the triangle method for a region in the Harz Mountains (Germany). The SMI time series illustrates, that the dike relocation area has become significantly wetter between 1990 and 2017, due to restructuring measurements. Whereas the SMI of the dike hinterland reflects constant and drier conditions. An influence of climate is unlikely. However, validation of the dimensionless index with ground truth measurements is very difficult, mostly due to large differences in scale.}, language = {en} } @misc{VasishthMertzenJaegeretal.2018, author = {Vasishth, Shravan and Mertzen, Daniela and J{\"a}ger, Lena Ann and Gelman, Andrew}, title = {Corrigendum to: Shravan Vasishth, Daniela Mertzen, Lena A.

However, this multi-cloud strategy faces several security challenges including enlarged attack surfaces, malicious insider threats, security complexities due to integration of disparate components and API interoperability issues. Novel security approaches are imperative to tackle these security issues. Therefore, this paper proposes CSBAuditor, a novel cloud security system that continuously audits CSB resources, to detect malicious activities and unauthorized changes e.g. bucket policy misconfigurations, and remediates these anomalies. The cloud state is maintained via a continuous snapshotting mechanism thereby ensuring fault tolerance. We adopt the principles of chaos engineering by integrating Broker Monkey, a component that continuously injects failure into our reference CSB system, Cloud RAID. Hence, CSBAuditor is continuously tested for efficiency i.e. its ability to detect the changes injected by Broker Monkey. CSBAuditor employs security metrics for risk analysis by computing severity scores for detected vulnerabilities using the Common Configuration Scoring System, thereby overcoming the limitation of insufficient security metrics in existing cloud auditing schemes. CSBAuditor has been tested using various strategies including chaos engineering failure injection strategies. Our experimental evaluation validates the efficiency of our approach against the aforementioned security issues with a detection and recovery rate of over 96 \%.}, language = {en} } @misc{TorkuraSukmanaMeinigetal.2018, author = {Torkura, Kennedy A. and Sukmana, Muhammad Ihsan Haikal and Meinig, Michael and Kayem, Anne V.

However, Cloud Service Brokers are challenged by several security issues including enlarged attack surfaces due to integration of disparate components and API interoperability issues. Therefore, appropriate security risk assessment methods are required to identify and evaluate these security issues, and examine the efficiency of countermeasures. A possible approach for satisfying these requirements is employment of threat modeling concepts, which have been successfully applied in traditional paradigms. In this work, we employ threat models including attack trees, attack graphs and Data Flow Diagrams against a Cloud Service Broker (CloudRAID) and analyze these security threats and risks. Furthermore, we propose an innovative technique for combining Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) and Common Configuration Scoring System (CCSS) base scores in probabilistic attack graphs to cater for configuration-based vulnerabilities which are typically leveraged for attacking cloud storage systems. This approach is necessary since existing schemes do not provide sufficient security metrics, which are imperatives for comprehensive risk assessments. We demonstrate the efficiency of our proposal by devising CCSS base scores for two common attacks against cloud storage: Cloud Storage Enumeration Attack and Cloud Storage Exploitation Attack. These metrics are then used in Attack Graph Metric-based risk assessment. Our experimental evaluation shows that our approach caters for the aforementioned gaps and provides efficient security hardening options.

In this paper, we address the issue of shared vulnerabilities in microservices with a novel solution based on the concept of Moving Target Defenses (MTD). Our mechanism works by performing risk analysis against microservices to detect and prioritize vulnerabilities. Thereafter, security risk-oriented software diversification is employed, guided by a defined diversification index. The diversification is performed at runtime, leveraging both model and template based automatic code generation techniques to automatically transform programming languages and container images of the microservices. Consequently, the microservices attack surfaces are altered thereby introducing uncertainty for attackers while reducing the attackability of the microservices.

However, an architecture-level integration challenge arises between the electronic network and the optical one in such tightly-integrated parallel systems.

We find that the majority of the Indus has seen an increase in snow-water storage. There exists a strong elevation-trend relationship, where high-elevation zones have more positive SWE trends. Negative trends are confined to the Himalayan foreland and deeply-incised valleys which run into the Upper Indus. This implies a temperature-dependent cutoff below which precipitation increases are not translated into increased SWE. Earlier snowmelt or a higher percentage of liquid precipitation could both explain this cutoff.(1) Earlier work 2 found a negative snow-water storage trend for the entire Indus catchment over the time period 1987-2009 (-4 x 10(-3) mm/yr). In this study based on an additional seven years of data, the average trend reverses to 1.4 x 10(-3). This implies that the decade since the mid-2000s was likely wetter, and positively impacted long-term SWE trends.

The comparison of observations with the model in Figs 2 and 3 of their Article clearly shows that even with strong radial diffusion rates, the model predicts a third belt near L* = 3 that is twice as wide as observed and approximately an order of magnitude more intense. We therefore disagree with their interpretation that "the agreement between the absolute fluxes from the model and those observed by REPT [the Relativistic Electron Proton Telescope] shown on Figs 2 and 3 is excellent." Previous studies3 have shown that outward radial diffusion plays a very important role in the dynamics of the outer belt and is capable of explaining rapid reductions in the electron flux. It has also been shown that it can produce remnant belts (Fig. 2 of a long-term simulation study4). However, radial diffusion alone cannot explain the formation of the narrow third belt at multi-MeV during September 2012. An additional loss mechanism is required. Higher radial diffusion rates cannot improve the comparison of model presented by Mann et al. with observations. A further increase in the radial diffusion rates (reported in Fig. 4 of the Supplementary Information of ref. 2) results in the overestimation of the outer belt fluxes by up to three orders of magnitude at energy of 3.4 MeV. Observations at 2 MeV, where belts show only a two-zone structure, were not presented by Mann et al. Moreover, simulations of electrons with energies below 2 MeV with the same diffusion rates and boundary conditions used by the authors would probably produce very strong depletions down to L = 3-3.5, where L is radial distance from the centre of the Earth to the given field line in the equatorial plane. Observations do not show a non-adiabatic loss below L ∼ 4.5 for 2 MeV. Such different dynamics between 2 MeV and above 4 MeV at around L = 3.5 are another indication that particles are scattered by electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves that affect only energies above a certain threshold. Observations of the phase space density (PSD) provide additional evidence for the local loss of electrons. Around L* = 3.5-4 PSD shows significant decrease by an order of magnitude starting in the afternoon of 3 September (Fig. 1a), while PSD above L* = 4 is increasing. The minimum in PSD between L* = 3.5-4 continues to decrease until 4 September. This evolution demonstrates that the loss is not produced by outward diffusion. Radial diffusion cannot produce deepening minima, as it works to smooth gradients. Just as growing peaks in PSD show the presence of localized acceleration5, deepening minima show the presence of localized loss. Figure 1: Time evolution of radiation profiles in electron PSD at relativistic and ultra-relativistic energies. figure 1 a, Similar to Supplementary Fig. 3 of ref. 2, but using TS07D model10 and for μ = 2,500 MeV G-1, K = 0.05 RE G0.5 (where RE is the radius of the Earth). b, Similar to Supplementary Fig. 3 of ref. 2, but using TS07D model and for μ = 700 MeV G-1, corresponding to MeV energies in the heart of the belt. Minimum in PSD in the heart of the multi-MeV electron radiation belt between 3.5 and 4 RE deepening between the afternoon of 3 September and 5 September clearly show that the narrow remnant belt at multi-MeV below 3.5 RE is produced by the local loss. Full size image The minimum in the outer boundary is reached on the evening of 2 September. After that, the outer boundary moves up, while the minimum decreases by approximately an order of magnitude, clearly showing that this main decrease cannot be explained by outward diffusion, and requires additional loss processes. The analysis of profiles of PSD is a standard tool used, for example, in the study about electron acceleration5 and routinely used by the entire Van Allen Probes team. In the Supplementary Information, we show that this analysis is validated by using different magnetic field models. The Supplementary Information also shows that measurements are above background noise. Deepening minima at multi-MeV during the times when the boundary flux increases are clearly seen in Fig. 1a. They show that there must be localized loss, as radial diffusion cannot produce a minimum that becomes lower with time. At lower energies of 1-2 MeV, which corresponds to lower values of the first adiabatic invariant μ (Fig. 1b), the profiles are monotonic between L* = 3-3.5, consistent with the absence of scattering by EMIC waves that affect only electrons above a certain energy threshold6,7,8,9. In summary, the results of the modelling and observations presented by Mann et al. do not lend support to the claim of explaining the dynamics of the ultra-relativistic third Van Allen radiation belt in terms of an outward radial diffusion process alone. While the outward radial diffusion driven by the loss to the magnetopause2 is certainly operating during this storm, there is compelling observational and modelling2,6 evidence that shows that very efficient localized electron loss operates during this storm at multi-MeV energies, consistent with localized loss produced by EMIC waves.}, language = {en} } @misc{ShakiFischer2018, author = {Shaki, Samuel and Fischer, Martin H.}, title = {Commentary on: Elizabeth H.

Apart from the discovery of foreign key relationships, INDs can help perform data integration, integrity checking, schema (re-)design, and query optimization. With the advent of Big Data, the demand increases for efficient INDs discovery algorithms that can scale with the input data size. To this end, we propose S-INDD++ as a scalable system for detecting unary INDs in large datasets. S-INDD++ applies a new stepwise partitioning technique that helps discard a large number of attributes in early phases of the detection by processing the first partitions of smaller sizes. S-INDD++ also extends the concept of the attribute clustering to decide which attributes to be discarded based on the clustering result of each partition. Moreover, in contrast to the state-of-the-art, S-INDD++ does not require the partition to fit into the main memory-which is a highly appreciable property in the face of the ever growing datasets. We conducted an exhaustive evaluation of S-INDD++ by applying it to large datasets with thousands attributes and more than 266 million tuples. The results show the high superiority of S-INDD++ over the state-of-the-art.

Additionally, this provides a framework for the quantification of uncertainties in point-cloud derived metrics such as Specific Catchment Area (SCA) even though the flow accumulation itself is deterministic.}, language = {en} } @misc{RepkeKrestelEddingetal.2018, author = {Repke, Tim and Krestel, Ralf and Edding, Jakob and Hartmann, Moritz and Hering, Jonas and Kipping, Dennis and Schmidt, Hendrik and Scordialo, Nico and Zenner, Alexander}, title = {Beacon in the Dark}, series = {Proceedings of the 27th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management}, journal = {Proceedings of the 27th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, address = {New York}, isbn = {978-1-4503-6014-2}, doi = {10.1145/3269206.3269231}, pages = {1871 -- 1874}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The large amount of heterogeneous data in these email corpora renders experts' investigations by hand infeasible.

Syntactic data anonymisation algorithms address this issue by generating datasets that are neither use-case specific nor dependent on runtime specifications. This results in anonymised datasets that can be re-used in different scenarios which is performance efficient. However, syntactic data anonymisation algorithms incur high information loss on high dimensional data, making the data unusable for analytics. In this paper, we propose an optimised exact quasi-identifier identification scheme, based on the notion of k-anonymity, to generate anonymised high dimensional datasets efficiently, and with low information loss. The optimised exact quasi-identifier identification scheme works by identifying and eliminating maximal partial unique column combination (mpUCC) attributes that endanger anonymity. By using in-memory processing to handle the attribute selection procedure, we significantly reduce the processing time required. We evaluated the effectiveness of our proposed approach with an enriched dataset drawn from multiple real-world data sources, and augmented with synthetic values generated in close alignment with the real-world data distributions. Our results indicate that in-memory processing drops attribute selection time for the mpUCC candidates from 400s to 100s, while significantly reducing information loss.

The analysis of RNAseq data leads to a better understanding of gene functions and interactions, which eventually helps to study diseases like cancer and develop effective treatments. Large-scale RNAseq expression studies on cancer comprise samples from multiple cancer types and aim to identify their distinct molecular characteristics. Analyzing samples from different cancer types implies analyzing samples from different tissue origin. Such multi-tissue RNAseq data sets require a meaningful analysis that accounts for the inherent tissue-related bias: The identified characteristics must not originate from the differences in tissue types, but from the actual differences in cancer types. However, current analysis procedures do not incorporate that aspect. As a result, we propose to integrate a tissue-awareness into the analysis of multi-tissue RNAseq data. We introduce an extension for gene selection that provides a tissue-wise context for every gene and can be flexibly combined with any existing gene selection approach. We suggest to expand conventional evaluation by additional metrics that are sensitive to the tissue-related bias.

We propose a method that facilitates clinical assessment of lower back motions by means of a wireless inertial sensor network.

Since magnetometers are known to be unreliable in indoor environments, we use only 3D accelerometer and 3D gyroscope readings. Compensation of integration drift in the horizontal plane is achieved by estimating the gyroscope biases from automatically detected initial rest phases. For the estimation of sensor orientations, both a smoothing algorithm and a filtering algorithm are presented. From these orientations, we determine three-dimensional joint angles between the thighs and the pelvis and between the pelvis and the lumbar region. We compare the orientations and joint angles to measurements of an optical motion tracking system that tracks each skin-mounted sensor by means of reflective markers. Eight subjects perform a neutral initial pose, then flexion/extension, lateral flexion, and rotation of the trunk. The root mean square deviation between inertial and optical angles is about one degree for angles in the frontal and sagittal plane and about two degrees for angles in the transverse plane (both values averaged over all trials). We choose five features that characterize the initial pose and the three motions. Interindividual differences of all features are found to be clearly larger than the observed measurement deviations.

Optical control of magnetization using femtosecond laser without applying any external magnetic field offers the advantage of switching magnetic states at ultrashort time scales, which has attracted a significant attention. Recently, it has been reported and demonstrated the,so-called, all-optical helicity-dependent switching (AO-HDS) in which a circularly polarized femtosecond laser pulse switches the magnetization of a ferromagnetic thin film as function of laser helicity [1]. Afterward, in more recent studies, it has been reported that AO-HDS is a general phenomenon existing in magnetic materials ranging from rare earth - transition metals ferrimagnetic (e.g. alloys, multilayers and hetero-structures system) to even ferromagnetic thin films. Among numerous studies in the literature which are discussing the microscopic origin of AO-HDS in ferromagnets or ferrimagnetic alloys, the most renowned concepts are momentum transfer via Inverse Faraday Effect (IFE) [1-3]and the concept of preferential thermal demagnetization for one magnetization direction by heating close to Tc (Curie temperature) in the presence of magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) [4-6]. In this study, we investigate all-optical magnetic switching using a stationary femtosecond laser spot (3-5 μm) in TbFe alloys via photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) with a spatial resolution of approximately 30 nm. We spatially characterize the effect of laser heating and local temperature profile created across the laser spot on AO-HDS in TbFe thin films. We find that AO-HDS occurs only in a `ring' shaped region surrounding the thermally demagnetized region formed by the laser spot and the formation of switched domains relies further on thermally induced domain wall motion.

A prime example of this is the Kanban method, which has recently gathered attention in the industry. In this paper, we describe a capstone course design, which adds the hands-on learning of the lean principles advocated by Kanban into a capstone project run with Scrum. This both ensures that students are aware of recent process frameworks and ideas as well as gain a more thorough overview of how agile methods can be employed in practice. We describe the details of the course and analyze the participating students' perceptions as well as our observations. We analyze the development artifacts, created by students during the course in respect to the two different development methodologies. We further present a summary of the lessons learned as well as recommendations for future similar courses. The survey conducted at the end of the course revealed an overwhelmingly positive attitude of students towards the integration of Kanban into the course.}, language = {en} } @misc{MarweckiBaudisch2018, author = {Marwecki, Sebastian and Baudisch, Patrick}, title = {Scenograph}, series = {UIST '18: Proceedings of the 31st Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology}, journal = {UIST '18: Proceedings of the 31st Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, address = {New York}, isbn = {978-1-4503-5948-1}, doi = {10.1145/3242587.3242648}, pages = {511 -- 520}, year = {2018}, abstract = {When developing a real-walking virtual reality experience, designers generally create virtual locations to fit a specific tracking volume.

In contrast to common video material which can be found online, lecture videos are used for exam preparation. Due to this difference, the idea comes up to annotate lecture videos with markers and personal notes for a better understanding of the taught content. Especially, students learning for an exam use their notes to refresh their memories. To ease this learning method with lecture videos, we introduce the annotation feature in our video lecture archive. This functionality supports the students with keeping track of their thoughts by providing an intuitive interface to easily add, modify or remove their ideas. This annotation function is integrated in the video player. Hence, scrolling to a separate annotation area on the website is not necessary. Furthermore, the annotated notes can be exported together with the slide content to a PDF file, which can then be printed easily.

This is usually far easier than bounding the expected first-hitting time directly. Due to the widespread use of drift theory, it is of utmost importance to have the best drift theorems possible. We improve the fundamental additive, multiplicative, and variable drift theorems by stating them in a form as general as possible and providing examples of why the restrictions we keep are still necessary.

On the other hand, drift theory allows the process to move into any direction as long as it move closer to the goal in expectation; however, this tendency has to be monotone and, thus, the transition probabilities cannot be arbitrary. We provide a result that combines the benefit of these two approaches: our result gives a lower and an upper bound for the expected first-hitting time of a random process over {0,..., n} that is allowed to move forward and backward by 1 and can use arbitrary transition probabilities.

A core concept of 802.15.4 security is the use of frame counters for both nonce generation and anti-replay protection. While being functional, frame counters (i) cause an increased energy consumption as they incur a per-frame overhead of 4 bytes and (ii) only provide sequential freshness. The Last Bits (LB) optimization does reduce the per-frame overhead of frame counters, yet at the cost of an increased RAM consumption and occasional energy-and time-consuming resynchronization actions. Alternatively, the timeslotted channel hopping (TSCH) media access control (MAC) protocol of 802.15.4 avoids the drawbacks of frame counters by replacing them with timeslot indices, but findings of Yang et al. question the security of TSCH in general. In this paper, we assume the use of ContikiMAC, which is a popular asynchronous MAC protocol for 802.15.4 networks. Under this assumption, we propose an Intra-Layer Optimization for 802.15.4 Security (ILOS), which intertwines 802.15.4 security and ContikiMAC. In effect, ILOS reduces the security-related per-frame overhead even more than the LB optimization, as well as achieves strong freshness. Furthermore, unlike the LB optimization, ILOS neither incurs an increased RAM consumption nor requires resynchronization actions. Beyond that, ILOS integrates with and advances other security supplements to ContikiMAC. We implemented ILOS using OpenMotes and the Contiki operating system.}, language = {en} } @misc{KovacsIonLopesetal.2018, author = {Kovacs, Robert and Ion, Alexandra and Lopes, Pedro and Oesterreich, Tim and Filter, Johannes and Otto, Philip and Arndt, Tobias and Ring, Nico and Witte, Melvin and Synytsia, Anton and Baudisch, Patrick}, title = {TrussFormer}, series = {UIST '18: Proceedings of the 31st Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology}, journal = {UIST '18: Proceedings of the 31st Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, address = {New York}, isbn = {978-1-4503-5948-1}, doi = {10.1145/3242587.3242607}, pages = {113 -- 125}, year = {2018}, abstract = {We present TrussFormer, an integrated end-to-end system that allows users to 3D print large-scale kinetic structures, i.e., structures that involve motion and deal with dynamic forces. TrussFormer builds on TrussFab, from which it inherits the ability to create static large-scale truss structures from 3D printed connectors and PET bottles. TrussFormer adds movement to these structures by placing linear actuators into them: either manually, wrapped in reusable components called assets, or by demonstrating the intended movement. TrussFormer verifies that the resulting structure is mechanically sound and will withstand the dynamic forces resulting from the motion. To fabricate the design, TrussFormer generates the underlying hinge system that can be printed on standard desktop 3D printers. We demonstrate TrussFormer with several example objects, including a 6-legged walking robot and a 4m-tall animatronics dinosaur with 5 degrees of freedom.}, language = {en} } @misc{KochovskiJiaLu2018, author = {Kochovski, Zdravko and Jia, He and Lu, Yan}, title = {Morphological study of microgel-based colloidal systems by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM)}, series = {Abstracts of papers : joint conference / The Chemical Institute of Cananda, CIC, American Chemical Society, ACS}, volume = {256}, journal = {Abstracts of papers : joint conference / The Chemical Institute of Cananda, CIC, American Chemical Society, ACS}, publisher = {American Chemical Society}, address = {Washington}, issn = {0065-7727}, pages = {2}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @misc{KliemeTietzMeinel2018, author = {Klieme, Eric and Tietz, Christian and Meinel, Christoph}, title = {Beware of SMOMBIES}, series = {The 17th IEEE International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications (IEEE TrustCom 2018)/the 12th IEEE International Conference on Big Data Science and Engineering (IEEE BigDataSE 2018)}, journal = {The 17th IEEE International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications (IEEE TrustCom 2018)/the 12th IEEE International Conference on Big Data Science and Engineering (IEEE BigDataSE 2018)}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {New York}, isbn = {978-1-5386-4387-7}, issn = {2324-9013}, doi = {10.1109/TrustCom/BigDataSE.2018.00096}, pages = {651 -- 660}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Several research evaluated the user's style of walking for the verification of a claimed identity and showed high authentication accuracies in many settings. In this paper we present a system that successfully verifies a user's identity based on many real world smartphone placements and yet not regarded interactions while walking. Our contribution is the distinction of all considered activities into three distinct subsets and a specific one-class Support Vector Machine per subset. Using sensor data of 30 participants collected in a semi-supervised study approach, we prove that unsupervised verification is possible with very low false-acceptance and false-rejection rates. We furthermore show that these subsets can be distinguished with a high accuracy and demonstrate that this system can be deployed on off-the-shelf smartphones.}, language = {en} }
