CNN correspondent and crew detained and escorted from Los Angeles protest zone
Police detained a CNN crew reporting on protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles. CNN correspondent Jason Carroll said an officer escorted them away from the protest late Monday and warned them to not return. On Sunday, an Australian journalist was hit in the leg by a rubber bullet and a British photographer was similarly injured on Saturday. National Press Club President Mike Balsamo urged officials to stop targeting, detaining, or obstructing journalists, and to guarantee journalists…

Quantifying Mix Network Privacy Erosion with Generative Models
Modern mix networks improve over Tor and provide stronger privacy guarantees by robustly obfuscating metadata. As long as a message is routed through at least one honest mixnode, the privacy of the users involved is safeguarded. However, the complexity of the mixing mechanisms makes it difficult to estimate the cumulative privacy erosion occurring over time. This work uses a generative model trained on mixnet traffic to estimate the loss of privacy when users communicate persistently over a per…

Direct interferometric measurement of non-reciprocity induced by a plasmonic metasurface with false chirality
Nonreciprocity is an important scientific concept related to the broken symmetry of light propagation through a system in forward and reverse directions. This effect lies in the origin of various applications including signal processing, noise reduction, unidirectional propagation and sensing. Here we show that propagation of Surface Plasmons (SP) within a structure having a false chirality exhibits a non-reciprocity. The SP waves propagating in opposite directions within the structure acquire …

Mapping the Spatial Distribution of Fast Radio Bursts within their Host Galaxies
We present deep optical and near-infrared observations of the host galaxies of 34 fast radio bursts (FRBs) detected by the Commensal Real-time ASKAP Fast Transient (CRAFT) survey on the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) to compare the locations of FRBs relative to their host light distributions. Incorporating three additional FRBs from the literature, for a total of four repeating and 33 apparently non-repeating FRBs, we determine their projected galactocentric offsets and find a median of $ 4.…

Simulation Everywhere: An Evolutionary Expansion of Discrete-Event Modeling and Simulation research and practice
Simulation was launched in the 1950s, nicknamed a tool of "last resort." Over the years, this Operations Research (OR) method has made significant progress, and utilizing the accelerated advances in computer science (hardware and software, processing speed, and advanced information visualization capabilities) to improve simulation usability in research and practice. After overcoming the initial obstacles and the scare of outliving its usefulness in the 2000s, computer simulation has remained a …

Uniqueness of phase retrieval from offset linear canonical transform
The classical phase retrieval refers to the recovery of an unknown signal from its Fourier magnitudes, which is widely used in fields such as quantum mechanics, signal processing, optics, etc. The offset linear canonical transform (OLCT), which is a more general type of linear integral transform including Fourier transform (FT), fractional Fourier transform (FrFT), and linear canonical transform (LCT) as its special cases. Hence, in this paper, we focus on the uniqueness problem of phase retrie…
