Learning-Based Cost-Aware Defense of Parallel Server Systems against Malicious Attacks
We consider the cyber-physical security of parallel server systems, which is relevant for a variety of engineering applications such as networking, manufacturing, and transportation. These systems rely on feedback control and may thus be vulnerable to malicious attacks such as denial-of-service, data falsification, and instruction manipulations. In this paper, we develop a learning algorithm that computes a defensive strategy to balance technological cost for defensive actions and performance d…

Bjorken initial energy density estimation in Xe-Xe collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.44$ TeV using ALICE
The Bjorken initial energy density ($ε_{B}$) has been estimated in different centrality classes in Xe-Xe collisions using Bjorken formula. Three different cases have been considered. In Case I, we have fixed the formation time ($τ_{0}$) and varied the area of overlap region ($A_{overlap}$). In Case II, we have fixed both $τ_{0}$ and $A_{overlap}$ and we have varied both $τ_{0}$ and $A_{overlap}$ in Case III. We observed that the $ε_{B}$ is first increasing and then decreasing while going f…

Non-Standard Models of Homotopy Type Theory
Homotopy type theory is a modern foundation for mathematics that introduces the univalence axiom and is particularly suitable for the study of homotopical mathematics and its formalization via proof assistants. In order to better comprehend the mathematical implications of homotopy type theory, a variety of models have been constructed and studied. Here a model is understood as a model category with suitable properties implementing the various type theoretical constructors and axioms. A first e…

Relationship between Perceived Maneuverability and Involuntary Eye Movements under Systematically Varied Time Constants of Ride-on Machinery
Studies suggest that involuntary eye movements exhibit greater stability during active motion compared to passive motion, and this effect may also apply to the operation of ride-on machinery. Moreover, a study suggested that experimentally manipulating the sense of agency (SoA) by introducing delays may influence the stability of involuntary eye movements. Although a preliminary investigation examined involuntary eye movements and perceived maneuverability under two distinct machine dynamics wi…
