Correlation and Autocorrelation of Data on Complex Networks
Networks where each node has one or more associated numerical values are common in applications. This work studies how summary statistics used for the analysis of spatial data can be applied to non-spatial networks for the purposes of exploratory data analysis. We focus primarily on Moran-type statistics and discuss measures of global autocorrelation, local autocorrelation and global correlation. We introduce null models based on fixing edges and permuting the data or fixing the data and permut…

India busts trafficking racket duping people to fight for Russia in Ukraine
India said it had busted a “major human trafficking network” which lured young men to Russia with the promise of jobs only to force them to fight in the war in Ukraine.

A few weeks ago, a Russian autocrat addressed millions of Western citizens in a propaganda event that would have been unthinkable a generation ago
—yet is so normal today as to be almost unremarkable.
Tucker Carlson’s interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin has now been viewed more than 120 million times on YouTube and X.
Despite the tedium of Putin’s two-hour-long lecture about an imaginary Russian and Ukrainian history, the streaming and promotion of the interview …

The West Is Still Oblivious to Russia's Information War
Paralyzed by free speech concerns, Western governments are loath to act.

Random Sequential Adsorption with Correlated Defects: A Series Expansion Approach
The Random Sequential Adsorption (RSA) problem holds crucial theoretical and practical significance, serving as a pivotal framework for understanding and optimizing particle packing in various scientific and technological applications. Here the problem of the one-dimensional RSA of k-mers onto a substrate with correlated defects controlled by uniform and power-law distributions is theoretically investigated: the coverage fraction is obtained as a function of the density of defects and several s…

SmmPack: Obfuscation for SMM Modules with TPM Sealed Key
System Management Mode (SMM) is the highest-privileged operating mode of x86 and x86-64 processors. Through SMM exploitation, attackers can tamper with the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) firmware, disabling the security mechanisms implemented by the operating system and hypervisor. Vulnerabilities enabling SMM code execution are often reported as Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs); however, no security mechanisms currently exist to prevent attackers from analyzing those v…

Auch Gasspeicher in Lwiw soll attackiert worden sein
Ziel der russischen Angriffe in der Nacht war auch ein Gasspeicher in der westukrainischen Region Lwiw, wie der Gouverneur der Region, Maksym Kozytskyi, erklärte. Der Gasspeicher wurde bereits wiederholt angegriffen, da Russland seine Angriffe zunehmend auf Ziele der kritischen Infrastruktur in der Ukraine konzentriert.
