SBFA: Single Sneaky Bit Flip Attack to Break Large Language Models
Model integrity of Large language models (LLMs) has become a pressing security concern with their massive online deployment. Prior Bit-Flip Attacks (BFAs) -- a class of popular AI weight memory fault-injection techniques -- can severely compromise Deep Neural Networks (DNNs): as few as tens of bit flips can degrade accuracy toward random guessing. Recent studies extend BFAs to LLMs and reveal that, despite the intuition of better robustness from modularity and redundancy, only a handful of adve…

Optimization procedure of the baffle of the GroundBIRD Telescope to mitigate stray light
We presented the optimization procedures of the baffle mounted on the GroundBIRD telescope for measuring the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background~(CMB). The telescope employs dual mirror reflective telescopes installed in a cryostat. The primary objectives were to minimize stray light contamination, maintain the integrity of the main beam, and ensure that thermal loading from the baffle remains significantly below that from the atmosphere.

This paper presents examples of using integrity constraints in stableKanren to encode numeric computations for problem solving. Then, we use one of the examples to introduce multiple ways to infuse heuristic knowledge and reduce solving time. stableKanren is an extension of miniKanren that supports normal logic programs under stable model semantics. stableKanren further supports numeric computation by constructing a constraint store for integrity constraints. There are three ways to extend a re…

The thing about a life-logger, is you input sensitive data about your life, lifestyle and activities, so privacy and data-integrity are some of the most important issues.
There can be no server, the data has to be yours and yours alone. Because you can’t tell what is happening to the data in a closed-source app, it must be completely free and open source.
You can’t trust a corporate diary, they must sell to anyone offering enough money.
So it is with my life log app, all data completely in your own device. No home server ever sees anything.
There is no home server. Just the code.
To achieve this Exocortex Log is a Progressive Web App. It downloads when you are online at the website and can be installed onto the homepage of your phone.
It keeps all data on the local device using indexdb.
This means you must be responsible for your own backups. Be sure to export and back up your data regularly. I have gaps in my ten year record where my phone was stolen and most recent backup was months prior.
Once installed it will work offline, airplane mode, no internet, down in the tube station at midnight, anywhere.

Now, for any person with a shred of moral dignity, there's some time during US history where you would have to admit that an insurrection or rebellion was necessary. Only complete scum bag fascists would try to argue that a slave revolt wasn't an absolute good, and that it was a bad thing when those revolts were crushed. Anyone with a shred of moral decency has to admit that there is at least one point in US history where the nation was doing something so incredibly evil, that it would have been good if people would have rose up and stopped it.
Today we're talking about the displacement and genocide of people in Gaza. We can look at any number of genocide on US soil carried out by the US government. Who, with any moral clarity, wouldn't point to those and want to believe that they would have resisted, violently if necessary, against those slaughters. Who, that today condemns slavery, could look at John Brown and not wish to have the moral integrity to fight and die along side of him?
Every liberal who actually believes in justice, who isn't just virtue signaling out of guilt, should be able to point to a time in history where they would absolutely agree with the most militant resistance. For those folks, I always wonder, when did that evil end? Where is your line? Have you thought about that?

Why Software Signing (Still) Matters: Trust Boundaries in the Software Supply Chain
Software signing provides a formal mechanism for provenance by ensuring artifact integrity and verifying producer identity. It also imposes tooling and operational costs to implement in practice. In an era of centralized registries such as PyPI, npm, Maven Central, and Hugging Face, it is reasonable to ask whether hardening registry security controls obviates the need for end-to-end artifact signing. In this work, we posit that the core guarantees of signing, provenance, integrity, and accounta…

Assessment Twins: A Protocol for AI-Vulnerable Summative Assessment
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping higher education and raising pressing concerns about the integrity and validity of higher education assessment. While assessment redesign is increasingly seen as a necessity, there is a relative lack of literature detailing what such redesign may entail. In this paper, we introduce assessment twins as an accessible approach for redesigning assessment tasks to enhance validity. We use Messick's unified validity framework to systematically m…

A New Normalization Form for Limited Distinct Attributes
In modern databases, the practice of data normalization continues to be important in improving data integrity, minimizing redundancies, and eliminating anomalies. However, since its inception and consequent improvements, there have been no attempts to document a method which constrains the values of attributes capable of only possessing a limited quantity of values. These non-limited distinct attributes pose a problem throughout many relational databases as they have the potential to cause data…

The Five Safes as a Privacy Context
The Five Safes is a framework used by national statistical offices (NSO) for assessing and managing the disclosure risk of data sharing. This paper makes two points: Firstly, the Five Safes can be understood as a specialization of a broader concept $\unicode{x2013}$ contextual integrity $\unicode{x2013}$ to the situation of statistical dissemination by an NSO. We demonstrate this by mapping the five parameters of contextual integrity onto the five dimensions of the Five Safes. Secondly, the Fiv…

Numerical and analytical modeling of heat equation in current-carrying conductors using the heat equation implemented using Finite-JAX
Current-carrying conductors inevitably experience resistive heating due to the finite electrical conductivity of the material. The resulting temperature distribution within the wire has essential implications for structural integrity, efficiency, and long-term reliability of electronic and power systems. In this work, we model the spatiotemporal evolution of heat in a current-carrying wire using the classical heat conduction equation. In a two-dimensional formulation, heat transport is consider…

Revealing Hidden Antiparallel Domains in Hexagonal Boron Nitride
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) supports a wide range of two-dimensional (2D) technologies, yet assessing its crystalline quality over large areas remains a fundamental challenge. Both antiparallel domains, an intrinsic outcome of epitaxy on high-symmetry substrates, and orientational domains have long evaded optical detection. Here, we show that interferometric second-harmonic generation (SHG) polarimetry provides a powerful, non-destructive probe of lattice orientation and structural integrity …

Span-level Detection of AI-generated Scientific Text via Contrastive Learning and Structural Calibration
The rapid adoption of large language models (LLMs) in scientific writing raises serious concerns regarding authorship integrity and the reliability of scholarly publications. Existing detection approaches mainly rely on document-level classification or surface-level statistical cues; however, they neglect fine-grained span localization, exhibit weak calibration, and often fail to generalize across disciplines and generators. To address these limitations, we present Sci-SpanDet, a structure-awar…

Importance of localized dilatation and distensibility in identifying determinants of thoracic aortic aneurysm with neural operators
Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) arise from diverse mechanical and mechanobiological disruptions to the aortic wall that increase the risk of dissection or rupture. Evidence links TAA development to dysfunctions in the aortic mechanotransduction axis, including loss of elastic fiber integrity and cell-matrix connections. Because distinct insults create different mechanical vulnerabilities, there is a critical need to identify interacting factors that drive progression. Here, we use a finite ele…

Method for backtracking the layer thermal conductivities of multilayer thin film structure using coupled Newton Raphson approach and 3-omega approach
The thermal conductivity of thin films is commonly estimated using the 3-omega experimental method. When calibrating the test setup, it is customary to use a specimen with a known thermal conductivity for validation. However, when determining the thermal conductivity of samples with unknown values, numerical approximations can provide a means to validate experimental results and ensure the integrity of the setup. A simple analytical or finite element analysis (FEA) method can be used to achieve…
