ACMI: An index for exposed coal mapping using Landsat imagery
Remotely sensing the spatial distribution of exposed coal (EC) is significant for understanding the footprints of mining activities. However, widely applicable methods for the identification of EC surfaces remain inadequate because the choices of recent methods confront the diverse EC types and backgrounds. Therefore, this study proposed a new Automated Coal Mapping Index (ACMI) which was empirically formulated by an iterative process of identifying parameters that maximize the separability of …

Stochastic Degree Sequence Model with Edge Constraints (SDSM-EC) for Backbone Extraction
It is common to use the projection of a bipartite network to measure a unipartite network of interest. For example, scientific collaboration networks are often measured using a co-authorship network, which is the projection of a bipartite author-paper network. Caution is required when interpreting the edge weights that appear in such projections. However, backbone models offer a solution by providing a formal statistical method for evaluating when an edge in a projection is statistically signif…

In this paper, we extend their method to the class of radially symmetric, locally stable, and tempered pair potentials. Our main result is that the pressure of such systems is analytic for positive activities up to $e^{2(1-W(eA_ϕ(β)/C_ϕ(β…

Energy Cyber Attacks to Smart Healthcare Devices: A Testbed

Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) has garnered significant interest in both research and industry due to its profound impact on human life. The rapid expansion of IoT technology has ushered in smart healthcare, smart devices, smart cities, and smart grids. However, the security of IoT devices, particularly in healthcare, has become a major concern, with recent attacks revealing serious vulnerabilities. In IoT networks, where connected devices are susceptible to resource-constraint attacks, such as energy consumption attacks, security is paramount.
This paper explores the impact of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and Fake Access Points (F-APs) attacks on WiFi-enabled smart healthcare devices. Specifically, it investigates how these attacks can disrupt service on victim devices and Access Points (APs), focusing on device connectivity and energy consumption during attacks. Key findings include identifying the attack rates of DDoS attacks that disrupt services and quantifying the energy consumption impact of Energy Consumption Distributed Denial of Service (EC-DDoS) and F-APs attacks on smart healthcare devices.
The study highlights communication protocols, attack rates, payload sizes, and port states of victim devices as critical factors influencing energy consumption. These insights provide a comprehensive understanding of IoT device vulnerabilities in smart healthcare environments and lay the groundwork for future defense strategies.

Fair division is the problem of allocating a set of items among agents in a fair manner. One of the most sought-after fairness notions is envy-freeness (EF), requiring that no agent envies another's allocation. When items are indivisible, it ceases to exist, and envy-freeness up to any good (EFX) emerged as one of its strongest relaxations. The existence of EFX allocations is arguably the biggest open question within fair division. Recently, Christodoulou, Fiat, Koutsoupias, and Sgouritsa (EC 2…
